Chapter 1: Lovely Forgiveness

"But father!" Draco whined, "He hates me!"

"Then I guess you won't be happy to hear that he will be staying in your room… with you." the older Malfoy drawled.

"B-but I…"

"Don't Draco! What's done is done"

"So Harry do you want to stop and eat on the way, or at Malfoy's ?" The Ministry appointed wizard asked. The dark haired boy had just been picked up from Saint Mungo's where he had been treated for various injuries and such the Dursley's had inflicted upon him. He had just found out where he would be saying and least to say he was not happy.

He made a noncommittal sound in the back of his throat and grumbled, "Malfoy's"

To be honest he was anxious about it. It was Dra-Malfoy's house for God's sake Malfoy's. What if Draco still hated him? What if he hexed him? What if he gave him to Volde- Harry's thoughts were interrupted by the wizard driving the vehicle.

"Kay, Harry. We apparate from here." the wizard named Andrew stated. Harry grabbed his arm and was suddenly confronted with the sudden sight of the Malfoy Manor. Apparently the wards had been changed to make it so the two wizards could apparate inside the wards.

"Harry Potter," the eldest Malfoy murmured from his place in the doorway. "It's extremely wonderful to have you here. Lucius then moved into the room and sat in the largest arm chair. "Do sit Harry."

"I-uh I'm… I'm good, sir. Thank you"

"No need to call me sir Harry," he held up a hand to stop the boy from protesting, "call me Lucius…"

Draco then chose that moment to come skidding into the room apologizing profusely for being so late. "I'm so sorry fa-" He was suddenly confronted with the sight of the ever beautiful -though he'd had better days- Harry James Potter. "Harry." he breathed.

"H-hey Draco," Harry stuttered forgetting the grudge he used to hold against the blond. After all the boy was the only thing Harry was sure about. A smile then bloomed across Draco's face; lighting it up like a wildfire.

He had his arms full of Harry Potter. He could feel the dark haired boys every bump and bruise, Count the boy's ribs. Practically smell the fear radiating off of Harry. All too soon Harry let go and partially hid behind the blond.

"It was a pleasure meeting you Harry!" Andrew stepped forward and held out his hand. Draco could smell the booze on him. Harry took another step behind Draco.

"Whelp," Lucius said, "I'm sure the ministry is dieing to have you back there, Minky," a small house elf appeared with a pop. "Why don't you escort out.

"Y-yes s-s-sir," Minky squeaked

"Draco, why don't you take Harry to the kitchen. He needs to eat something."

"Yes father! Of course!" Draco said nodding vehemently and grabbing Harry's hand. He apperated the two to the kitchen where then through together a plate and thrusted it into Harry's hands. "Eat." was all he could say.

Later that night the two boy's were in Draco's room. Draco was desperately trying to get Harry to talk. Harry was having none of it.

"Are you feeling better now that you've got food in you?"

Harry nodded

"Did they treat you ok at St. Mungo's?"

The dark haired boy shrugged. Now Draco was starting to get aggravated.

"Harry," Draco said through clenched teeth. "Did Dumbledore know about what the Dursley's were doing to you?" knowing sure as hell this would get something out of him. "Harry?" Draco took the dark haired wizard's chin between his forefinger and thumb. Looking into those striking green eyes he was sad to say he saw tears.

"Yeah," Harry whispered.

"Oh Harry" Draco took the shaking sobbing boy into his arms. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry." He wasn't sure if he was saying sorry about his past actions or how Harry had suffered. All he really knew was he really did love Harry and he would do all he could to get back at that old coot and make sure Harry didn't suffer anymore.
