Chapter One

He sat quietly on the ground, he could hear the beat of his heart ringing in his ears.

His palms were sweaty and beads of sweat dripped down his face.

Another scream came from behind the wall.

He squeezed his eyes tight and tucked his knee's under his chin wrapping his arms around him self.

"Where is he Potter."

He cracked his eyes open and quietly shuffled to the wall peering through the crack.

A tall man with some what pale skin and raven black hair stood over his parents.

He jerked his eyes away not wanting to see the horror that had been done to their bodies.

"Go to hell Riddle." Hisses James choking on his own blood as he did so.

Riddle turned away. "Finish them make sure you kill my sister quickly. I don't wish her to suffer any more."

He jerked away as the two gunshots sounded in the room followed by the sound of bodies hitting the ground.

Harry Potter pulled him self in to a ball and rocked him self to sleep silently crying for the murder of his parents.

MMMMMM

Draco pulled on his father's hand eagerly wanting to move faster. He took the steps quickly while his parents followed in a more elegant fashion.

Draco tried to pull open the heavy door on his own and in his haste did not notice that the door was meant to be pushed.

With a blush he ducked in to the building, after his father pushed the door open.

He eagerly looked around before turning to his father.

"Where are all the children?" Asked Draco having expected them all to be lined up for him.

Lucius just smiled and shook his head; he walked up to the receptionist desk.

"We are interested in adopting a little boy between the ages of four and seven, with a good disposition." Said Lucius.

The women nodded and typed something into the computer.

"Linda can take your wife and son to see the children while you meet the headmaster if you like."

Lucius nodded and was lead to an office while Narcissa and Draco were lead to a large room filled with different toys that many young children were playing with.

"Draco why don't you go meet some of them." Said Narcissa pushing Draco forward, he hesitantly entered the room.

Almost all of the children glanced up at one point or another to watch him while they played. Most of them were younger than him and he towered over them.

He glanced at some of the children, but none of them really caught his eyes. He wanted an interesting brother.

He was ready to turn around and leave the room when a worn frayed little shoe caught his eye poking out from behind some shelves.

He moved forward and leaned over the shelves.

A little boy sat hidden behind them reading a very large book, his hair was black and messy, but he couldn't see his eyes only that they were covered by bulky black glasses.

He was dressed in jeans and faded red hoodie that seemed to hang off him because he was so small.

"Hello." Said Draco.

The boy glanced up, startled.

Draco smiled; the boy had pretty, big forest green eyes.

Draco moved around the shelf and sat down in front of the boy, he held out his hand.

"I'm Draco."

The boy hesitantly shook his hand. "Harry."

"How old are you." Asked Draco fiddling with the fringed rug beneath him.

"5, how... how old are you." Asked Harry hesitating slightly.

"I'm 10." Said Draco proudly.

Narcissa watched from the window, it would seem that Draco had found someone.

"What are you reading?" Asked Draco.

"The Bible, It was my parents." Said Harry brushing his hand lovingly over the cover.

Draco frowned. "Where are they, your parents?"

Harry bowed his head. "They died in a car crash."

It was interesting for Draco to try and feel happy and sad at the same time, but he was able to work through it.

"Harry, I want to adopt you!"

Harry looked at him wide eyed.

Draco surged to his feet caught up Harry's hand and pulled him towards the door were his mother was waiting, Harry stumbled behind him, but managed to keep his feet.

"Mother, I want to adopt Harry!" Said Draco pushing the smaller boy towards his mother.

Narcissa smiled at the little boy, he was so small and timid like a little ruffled lion how could she refuse.

"We will ask father Draco, but I'm sure he'll love Harry."

"I suppose this is Harry." Said Lucius walking up the headmaster trailing behind him.

Lucius crouched down and looked Harry over carefully.

"Davis has only been with us for a week, I'm not sure if you really want him. His parents died recently and he still has nightmares." Said the headmaster carefully.

"I believe Harry would get along just fine in our family." Said Lucius standing up.

"I would appreciate it if you started the paper work immediately so we could take him home as soon as possible." Said Lucius.

The headmaster quickly nodded with a big smile.

"You could take him home today and we can settle the paper work later, of course there would be some extra fee's if I were to rush it." Said the man smiling a bit too brightly.

Lucius glanced at him something akin to disgust in his face.

"Of course, Narcissa why don't you take the boys to the car and I'll take care of the paper work." Said Lucius.

"Linda, get the boys things." Said the headmaster eagerly his eyes scintillating with greed.

Draco crouched down.

"Harry, want to ride piggy back."

Harry smiled shyly and climbed onto Draco's back the bible still clutched in one hand while the other wrapped around Draco's neck and his legs slid in between Draco's arms.

They only had to wait a moment before Linda came back carrying a backpack.

"Here you go, I hope you really like this family Harry." Said Linda smiling at the little waif.

Harry nodded and they left.

They took there time going to the car since Harry was enjoying riding on Draco's back, Draco the whole while was play acting he was a horse and he trotted and galloped through the halls on their way back to the car.

Narcissa smiled and laughed at their antics before calming them down and having them sit still in the car. She had the chauffer put in a movie for the boys to watch while they waited for Lucius.

On the trip home Harry dozed off and Lucius carried him to his new room that they had already set up.

They managed to coax him awake long enough to give him a warm bath and get him in some pajamas that use to be Draco's then under the covers and he was fast asleep.

Narcissa smiled as she watched him sleep. His black curls contrasting with the silk white pillow case.

"Tomorrow we will have some clothes made for him and do all the other necessities, a hair cut, a tutor, some toys, and-."

Narcissa continued to list different things they would need to do the following day, but Lucius just smiled and led her out of the room turning the lights off after him allowing the moonlight to cast her ghostly shimmer across Harry's sleeping form.

MMMMMMMMMM

The next day Malfoy Manor was a flurry of activity.

Harry found him self half asleep in his boxers standing on a stool while a tall quiet man with spectacles measured him for clothing.

A young woman with a notebook stood next to Narcissa taking notes.

"I want plenty of dress pants, and a few pairs of jeans and khakis. Plenty of dress shirts and regular t-shirts, make sure they match his coloring. Some suit jackets and regular jackets. Make as many as you think he'll need Susan."

After the measuring was done Harry was allowed to put on some of Draco's old clothes and was then sized for shoes and after that he got his hair cut.

Narcissa eyed him critically after the hair cut, it wasn't as shaggy as it had been and with a little gel it could be slicked back or spiked up, but for right then it looked fine a little windswept.

Harry was then taken to a tutor to be tested.

Harry stared at the test before him before slowly proceeding to answer the questions.

Harry was then finally left alone with Draco who happily dragged him to the backyard and started to play some football with him kicking the ball back and forth.

Narcissa watched from the window smiling, already she could see a bond forming between them.

Narcissa turned as she heard running footsteps, it was the tutor.

"Madame, the boy, he is very intelligent. He is at least two if not three grades above the normal level of a boy his age." Said the tutor gasping for air.

Narcissa turned back to the window. "Our own little genius?!"
