Chapter 7

A/N: Thanks for the reviews and follows so far, I am happy to have found time to update this story again. If you have ideas please let me know because I am starting to have trouble with where I should take this story. I might have to just start doing time skips. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter, if not constructive criticism is accepted.

The little boy with black hair and bright emerald eyes stood there in muggle London jumping from foot to foot in excitement. He had never gotten the chance, in his almost 8 years of life, to see muggle London for himself. He would hear about it from the kids at school, but his relatives always left him in his cupboard. They would come back home late into the night with bags and bags of items Harry was never allowed to look in. They would come home and unlock his cupboard and tell him to haul the bags up the stairs into the master bedroom.

"Harry stop fidgeting, that is no way for a Malfoy to act." Harry quickly stopped his movements and shyly looked over at Lucius.

"I'm sorry f...father, it's just so much to take in. All the cars and the streets filled with people. I was never allowed to visit London, so this is really my first time here. I'll stop if you want me to though." Harry fidgeted where he stood and waited for a reply. He wasn't really used to calling someone father yet, but he tried and Lucius didn't seem to mind when he did. Draco came to the rescue by dragging Harry to a store further down the street they were on. At some point Harry's hand was let go and they were looking at the shelves filled with clothing. So far since Harry moved in and was adopted, Lucius had just been having Dobby resize clothing that Draco no longer wore or fit into. Harry was much smaller than Draco so it was much easier to fit the clothing to him. Lucius thought to celebrate the adoption they would take Harry out to London so he could buy muggle clothing he actually wanted to wear. These past few months Harry has been getting better about asking for things he needs, but he is still extremely shy and hides away within himself.

Draco was pulling Harry towards the children section of the store when Harry kept turning around and looking at places he wasn't going to be going. Draco let go of his hand and kept going to his destination. He knew Harry would follow, just at a slower pace. Harry wasn't turning every which way and didn't notice a long wavy brown-haired girl stood browsing at one of the racks. Harry knocked his back right into hers and they both tumbled to the floor in a tangled heap. The girl groaned in slight annoyance and turned around to noticed the smaller boy crawling on the floor in search of the something. She was tempted to yell at the boy and ask him to watch where he was going, but she thought better of it. Not a minute later a white-blonde haired male about the same age as her came over to the boy on the ground and helped him up and handed him a pair of glasses.

The girl continued to sit there on the floor and looked at the exchange between the boys. Lost in her thoughts about how friendly they were with one another, she didn't notice the hand stuck out for her to take. The boy coughed and she was shaken out of her thoughts and looked up. The boy had fair skin and aristocratic cheekbones and she blushed in embarrassment at not noticing him come over. She took the hand and he hefted her up quite easily.

The smaller boy came over and stuck out his hand to her. "My name is Harry Potter-Malfoy. I'm really sorry about knocking you over. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going because I was just looking at the entire store in circles and then next thing I know I am on the floor looking for my glasses. Sorry for rambling on. What's your name? Oh! I almost forgot, this is my brother Draco."

The girl had a lot to take in, but eventually got her answer out. "My name is Hermione Granger. It's a pleasure to meet you both."

They all shook hands and then Lucius made himself know, he happened to see what Harry had done as he was walking over, but stopped himself to see what he would do.

"Harry are you alright? Not hurt anywhere are you?"

"No father I am fine, I should be asking Hermione if she is hurt. I was the one to cause her fall."

"I'm unharmed Harry, it was just a small tumble. Do not worry yourself."

"Well we best be going boys, we have may things to do today." With that Lucius continued on his way to the boys clothing and Harry and Draco followed. Harry gave a small wave and trudged alongside Draco. Hermione turned to continue to browse.

Harry turned to Draco, "She seemed nice, didn't she?" "I guess she seemed alright."

"Okay, Harry. Why don't you pick out what you would like to wear from now on. It's not right to make you wear Draco's old clothing when we can get you perfectly news that fit."

Harry gaped at Lucius and shook his hands in a no fashion. Draco pushed his hands under Harry's jaw and closed his mouth for him. "It's not necessary father, you have done enough for me. I can just use Draco's old clothes. They are perfectly good still."

"Nonsense Harry, you are my son now and that means I can buy you anything you need and want. That means new clothing of your choice to wear."

Hermione inched closer to the boys while browsing and furrowed her eyes and what she had overheard them saying. She knew it wasn't right of her to listen in on a private conversation, but she really couldn't help her curious studious side. Hermione knew just by looks that Harry had to be adopted, but his reaction to getting bought new clothing was a new one for her. Harry looks and seems to be such a nice sweet boy. He even apologised profusely to her.

Lucius noticed Miss Granger out of the corner of his eye come closer to where they stood. He moved closer to her. She startled out of her thoughts when he began to speak.

"Where are your parents Miss Granger? Weren't eavesdropping were you? Wouldn't want your parents to know of that habit of yours." Hermione was struck with fear and stammered out an apology. Harry smiled over at her and mention something about looks being deceiving. He knew Lucius didn't mean any harm to her with his words and he knew by now that he was hiding a small smirk behind his words. Lucius meant no harm, really. He just didn't like people sticking their noses and ears where they didn't belong. Harry walked over to Hermione and placated her stressed and scared face. They chatted about nonsensical things and about schools they were going to. Lucius and Draco let him be and they scanned the shelves for items Harry might want. They did have his size after all and he didn't seem to care what he wore.

An hour passed and Lucius was reluctant to pull Harry from his new found friend, but they really had to get a move on. The day would be wasted. Draco went over to the pair to let Harry know that he had gotten him some clothing and that they had to leave now. Draco suggested they exchange addresses so they could write each other to keep in contact. Lucius reassured Harry that he would see his friend again some time in the future, but they would just have to send each other letters for now.

The three Malfoys walked out of the storefront and Hermione traipsed back to her parents with a huge grin on her face. She was beyond excited to tell her parents all about the two boys her age that she met. She just knew that they were going to be great friends, more so with Harry definitely.
