Book One: Fool Me Once

Chapter 19: Let's get started

"Oh Harry! I thought I heard your voice?" Came a woman that Harry immediately knew was Blaises mother.

Harry smiled rising just as she pulled him into a tight hug. "What a pleasant surprise! It's so good to see you." She said pulling back.

Harry smiled. "Good to see you too Ms.Zabini." He stated.

She smiled. "You'll be staying for a late lunch correct? I'll go set an extra plate." She walked back into the kitchen as Blaise came downstairs in pants and a green shirt.

"Remind me to put an alarm on my floo system yeah Harry?" Blaise said.

Harry nodded "Definitely."

Blaise sat. "So what's up? "

Harrison shrugged "Just wanted to see a friendly face" he stated.

Blaise rose an eyebrow.

"And? Maybe you should work on your lying skills." Blaise stated rising geasturing for Harry to follow.

Harry rose waving bye to Fred before walking beside Blaise and then outside of the manor around the path.

"What's wrong?" Blaise asked. "I'm glad to see you. However I did have a fiery man in my bed." He stated.

"One...gross" Harry sighed. "And two I really just needed to get some air and see friends so I came here." He said truthfully.

Blaise nodded. "You didn't go to Draco's?"

Harry shook his head.

"No..He hasn't written any letter so I figured he was busy." Harry stated sitting on a bench.

Blaise looked surprised.

"I don't believe that...there has to be a reason." Blaise stated. "Come on. Let's go figure it out."

Blaise pulled Harry along stepping outside of his house ward apparating to Malfoy manor and into Draco's room.

There was a loud POP as the two landed.

Harry watched Draco jump from his desk.  Quill in hand accidentally spilling ink.

"Merlin Blaise! You're making me start to regret getting you permission to apparate here." Draco rose dabbing up the ink.

"Well Draco. We actually came here-" Blaise began before Draco spoke.

"We?" He turned around. "Harrison!" He said.

Harrison smiled surprised as Draco hugged him.

"Good to know I was missed" Harry stated.

"Of course I missed you. Should I have been sending more letters every day?" Draco asked pulling back.

Blaise smiled. "Told you."

Draco looked at Blaise. "Told him what?"

"Harry came over saying he hadn't received any letters from you and said it was because you were busy." Blaise stated.

Draco rose an eyebrow. "You didn't get any of my letters?"
