Chapter 6

He decided to ask, "Ah…" Harry did not know what to call the man walking next to him.

Lucius noticed the expression on his face that Harry did not know what to call Lucius and said, "Harry, you can either call me dad or if you are not comfortable with that you can call me Lucius."

Harry said, "Lucius, how are we going to get home?"

Draco said, "Fly of course."

Harry started to laugh and said, "Fly? How by plane?"

Draco looked at his dad and Lucius said, "No, my boy by broom, you will come with me and Draco will take your stuff and fly home ahead of us."

When they entered the alleyway, Harry noticed that there were two broomsticks lying against a wall. Draco took one broom that was a bit shorter than the other one, and took off into the air. Harry had a shocked look on his face as he saw the broom taking off into the air.

Lucius said, "Ok, Harry, take the broom and put it between your legs." Harry took the broom and did as Lucius said. Lucius just pulled the broom up a bit so that there was room for both of them on the broom then he mounted the broom with Harry.

Lucius said, "Up."

Harry was surprised that the broom took off into the air. He was actually flying by broomstick.

Harry and Lucius were in the sky Harry was starting to get a bit scared of the height that they were. Lucius noticed the shift of the broom and turned around Harry had on a face that the expression was that he was scared, and he slowly lowered the broom till Harry's expression changed to his normal look.

Harry said, "Thanks. I'm afraid of heights."

Lucius said, "Why didn't you tell me, we would have gone home another way."

Harry said, "What others ways are there to go home?"

Lucius said, "Portkey, Floo Powder. There is aperation but that you have to have a license for, and being that you are underage we certainly can't go that way."

Harry asked, "What is a portkey, and Floo Powder?"

Ignoring the question, Lucius looked at him and thought to himself, could it be that this young man is a muggle or is he thee Harry Potter and he doesn't know anything about the Wizarding World? Then Lucius said, "Harry, how did your parents die?"

Harry said, "My aunt and uncle said that they died in a car accident, but I don't believe them, and I think that they lied to me for some reason. Every time I want to ask a question about my parents they always say, 'Don't ask questions!'"

Lucius said, "And why is that?"

Harry said, "It's just a feeling that I have. I don't know I have dreams, dreams of two people I can see a baby, I believe that the baby is me, but I am not sure, and then a green light, and then nothing."

Lucius lowered the broom and they landed, not near where they were supposed to land but just to talk, before taking off and heading for home.

Harry asked, "Are we home yet?"

Lucius dismounted and helped Harry off the broom, and said, "No, I just want to know a few things, and tell you a short story before we take off again."

"Ok."

"Harry, what you just said about your parents just surprised me that's all. In the Wizarding World the world there is a story that has been passed around from family to family for the past 10 years that I am now going to share that story with you."

"Ok."

"It all started on a Halloween night 1981, there was this guy that wanted to take over the Wizarding and the Muggle worlds."

"Who?"

"Harry don't interrupt me until I am finished."

"Ok."

"Well, as I was saying, it all started on Halloween night, a group of men visited a flat called Godric's Hollow to kill a family named Potter. One man in particular wanted to kill everyone in the house including the baby. So they performed a curse called the avada kedavra the spell when said is supposed to kill anyone instantly. HE, no one knows his name came and went into the house and ransacked it, first killed James Potter, while his wife Lily was upstairs trying to hide their baby. Then He went upstairs to kill the remaining people in the household. He tried the door, but the door was locked to the man's surprise, he busted down the door and performed the killing spell on the woman. Then tried to perform the killing curse the baby, but when He performed the spell on the baby it rebounded back at him, killing Him and not the baby but the only injury that the baby sustained was a lightning bolt scar on the right side of his forehead. The baby's name was Harry Potter. You wouldn't happen to have a scar on your forehead would you my son."

Harry didn't know what to say so he said nothing. As loads of questions filled his mind, one question that kept running through his mind was how did he know about the scar?

Harry was scared he did not know what to do. He just wanted to leave this place and head for his new home. To hopefully sleep in a bed in his own bedroom for a change, but he knew that that would not be possible, or so he thought.

He looked at Lucius and said, "Do you think that we can leave here? I want to see my new cupboard where I will be sleeping. I will do all the housework that you want me to do to keep my stay at your home."

Lucius laughed a bit and said, "Harry, son, you won't have to sleep in a cupboard ever again nor will you have to do any housework. You will have your own bedroom with everything that you will need, and live like a king in a castle."

"But what about what you said to my uncle in the interview that he conducted with you?"

"Sometimes Harry you have to improvise a little, you know stretch the truth?"

"Ok, I see, you mean lie."

"Not really lying or fibbing but just stretch the truth a little to get what you want in life. Now what do you say we head for home?"

Harry looked at the broomsticks in Lucius' hand, and fear came back in his eyes he did not want to get back on if anytime soon. Lucius noticed the look and picked up a tin can that was on the floor and said a few words so that it became a port key.

Harry looked at Lucius as Lucius said, "Harry, we won't have to travel by broomstick again, I can see that you are scared of flying and I have made this can into a port key that would transport us instantly to the Malfoy Manor. All you have to do is touch it and it will transport us to home. But I will worn you it is a bit scary at first."

"I don't care as long as I can be in my new home."

Harry touched the portkey as he felt a pull come from his navel and they were instantly transported to the Malfoy manor.

Upon arrival Harry was in total shock, he had never been in a mansion yet a magical one.

Narcissa and Draco were standing in the foyer, and worried that Lucius and their newly adopted family member had not yet arrived home yet. Right at that particular moment Lucius and Harry popped in the foyer of the Malfoy mansion.

The foyer of the Malfoy manor, was outrageous the door was made of pure jade, the chandelier that was hanging from the ceiling by magic was made of both gold and silver, shining a rose like light through out the foyer, a mirror hung on one wall with a dresser made of lotaniman on of the most expensive wood in all of the Wizarding world it. It was of light white wood with a touch of red and blue mixed into the grain of the wood.

Narcissa walked up to her husband and said, "We were getting worried, what happened?"

"I'll explain later," Lucius said to Narcissa.

In all his ten, no wait… eleven, Harry wasn't ten anymore he was eleven. Today happened to be his birthday. He had been really busy trying to get ready for his new family that he had forgotten that today was actually his birthday. His birthday wish that he had wished for in private all his years of life had finally come true. He was free, free of the Dursleys forever, free from Dudley's gang of tormenting him, free of everything that the Dursleys did and made him do all those years to make his life a living hell.

For some reason Harry had find out if today was really his birthday or if he really was eleven ask just so he knew the date, "What is today's date by the way?"

"Today, my son is July 31st why do you want to know?" Lucius asked.

"July 31st happens to be my birthday. I am now and have been for a full day 11 years old."

"Harry my son, why didn't you tell me sooner during our little chat in the park? I would have prepared a celebration for you upon our arrival home becoming my son on your birthday must be a great joy to you."

"Draco, why don't you take Harry to his bedroom so that the two of you can change for dinner?" Then he turned to Harry and said, "Dinner is at 6:00 sharp which is in about half an hour. I expect you won't be late." Draco took Harry by the hand up the marble spiral staircase. Harry was stunned the spiral staircase just was amazing.

When Harry had changed into a pare of Dudley's pants and an oversized t-shirt covered by a black robe he exited his room and knocked on the door next to his.

Draco was already changed for dinner, so he said, "Come in, Harry I'm ready to go downstairs."

Harry opened the door and was surprised to see that Draco's room was much bigger in size, in fact it could hold up to 4 King four-poster beds, but had the allure of being in a forest. Draco's room was a forest green with specks of silver on the walls he had a King size four poster bed, a dresser, with three walk-in closets. One held his toys that he had grown up with, while the other two held his robes, and other assortment of clothing.

"Your room is amazing. I can't believe that you have all this stuff in here."

"Thank you let's head downstairs so that we are not late for dinner."

So the two brothers headed downstairs, where Draco showed Harry where the dining room was. Again Harry was surprised at how big the dining room was, it had a crystal chandelier that hung by magic, and the table was magnificently decorated it was a small table with four chairs that surrounded it. On the table, left side were 3 forks, a plate inside the plate was a bowl, on the right side was 2 spoons, a water goblet, coffee cups by wine glass were by the adults, and on top of the plates a fork and a spoon were placed.

Draco greeted his parents with, "Good evening mother, father, I have showed Harry here so that he did not get lost."

Lucius said, "Very good Draco. Let's sit down to a nice birthday dinner welcome to the family dinner for our birthday boy."

Harry was surprised no one ever showed him this love for him like this on his birthday. They must really truly care for me being here he thought to himself, aloud he said, "Thank you, you really shouldn't have, but I am very grateful."

Draco sat next to Lucius while Harry sat next to Narcissa and Lucius, the first course was of pumpkin soup, with carrots. Harry had never tasted anything so interesting. He had never really had anything pumpkin related, and he really enjoyed it, the bowls disappeared and the next course appeared on the table, which consisted of a small salad, followed by the next course was grilled Lamb chops. Harry had found it very entertaining to watch the food disappear and reappear. With the dinner concluded, Harry watched that the Malfoys brought down their desert fork and spoon he did the same. As they had brought their desert forks down for desert, a chocolate cake appeared, with a candle in it. The cake was chocolate, with chocolate icing and filling on the cake was written in silver, green icing said, 'Happy Birthday Harry'.

They sang Happy Birthday to Harry, while he blew out the candle and made the first slice, then Lucius cut the cake into four slices and put the cake aside.
