Harry got home that afternoon and began to prepare the ingredients for dinner. He wondered what he would cook. He then sat back and tried to remember what Malfoy's favorite meals were. He should know since he watched the blond boy closely during his sixth year.
Appetizer
Main Course
Harry then decided to cook beef with lobster for the main part of dinner. He knew that Malfoy would eat anything that isn't cheap or disgusting looking. Then for an appetizer, he made, poleta pizza, a seafood version since he now lived near the sea. Then when he was near finish preparing the main course, he decided to make little shot desserts since he didn't really know what Malfoy's favorite dessert was.
"That man will simply be awed by my awesomeness." Harry said to himself as he began to cook the meals he made planned to make. The drinks will simply be wine and whatever Malfoy wants.

[/i] he thought to himself. But there were many things he did not know about Potter and, of course, there were many things Potter did not know about Draco. He walked up to the door, head held high. He felt a little rude for not bringing a gift for Potter but he hadn't found the time and Narcissa had been with him all day so he hadn't actually been able to pick anything up. Draco knocked forcefully in the door, hoping he wasn't too early...[/color][/ul] |

Harry heard the knock on the door despite being in the kitchen. He was sure it was Draco. And he was early! It wasn't even six yet. He magically cleaned himself and apparated to the front of the door. He had a smile on his face as he opened the door.
"Good evening, Malfoy. Welcome to my new home... In Hawaii." He said as he held the door open for his first guest in his new home. "Charming isn't it? That he is my very FIRST guest here-- Of course he would be. You invited him here for dinner, idiot!" his inner voices were quarrelling again.
"Please come inside. I'm sure it's cold outside with the cold breeze blowing from the sea and all." Harry spoke again. He was sure that the Malfoy heir did not expect Harry to have such a kind of house. "If this is going to surprise him, he hasn't known me at all then... Despite everything w went through back in our younger years..." He thought, still trying to keep his smile simple and civil.

[/i] in fact heard of Hawaii before. It felt a lot warmer and welcoming than Malfoy Manor ever had which Draco was ashamed to think as he had lived in Malfoy Manor for the whole of his life -embarrassingly, that was almost half a century- yet he felt more at home in this place even though he'd never been here before. "My apologies, Potter, for arriving a little early," he said, keeping on his usual stoic mask and not sounding at all sorry, "I hope that this will not cause you any inconvenience."[/color][/ul] |

Harry simply smiled and shook his head, "Not at all, Malfoy. Come and stay in the living room while I finish making dinner." Harry said as he moved in front of the blond to the living room. "I hope that you didn't have problems in getting here This place, though it's a bit far away, it's quiet and far from the prying eyes of the wizarding world." He explained softly.
He was just glad to have gotten far away from the world were he couldn't get any privacy even if he asked. He didn't understand why though. To think that they owe him for saving their lives and all. They just won't give up and keep following him, hoping to know everything about their Saviour, which greatly annoyed him.
His divorce with Ginny was supposed to be a secret but somehow it got out into the open and everyone found out. He was sure none of the Weasley's would say anything to the press, not even Ginny. She wanted it to be all quiet herself so that she wouldn't be bother during her tour.
Harry shook away all the negative thoughts and focused on the event at hand. He turned back to Draco and smiled again, "It seems a bit lonely here now, since I'm living here alone and the kids are at school. But it's nice and warm despite the cool breeze from the sea. What do you think, Malfoy?" Harry asked politely.

Harry chuckled softly, "Well, after the bloody war, I grew to change a few things about myself you know. I am no longer the same person you knew me, Malfoy." Harry said with a smile. He had changed for the better of himself. Even his friends thought that the change was a bit scary but after a while, they came to accept the new Harry.
"Dinner is almost ready... I'll give you a tour of the house. Mind you, your the first person to see the place aside from the children." Harry said. "Come on, I'll show you the bedrooms on the second floor. I think this house has three or four guest rooms. An attic guest room, a second floor guest room, and a sea side guest room. Each of them have their own bathrooms too." Harry added before he moved to led the guest towards the stairs to he second floor.
(If you wanna see the house again, I added a few rooms at the House Request. You can check them out when you can. ^_^ )
Harry was pleased to have surprised his guest. Though Malfoy won't admit it out on the open, Harry knew he was stunned at the house and the interior. The old Harry would never have this kind of taste for housing, that's for sure. He smiled discreetly, hoping Malfoy didn't notice it.

Harry simply nodded at what Malfoy said. There was no use denying it. "You see Malfoy, since I was young, my parents had left me with a lot of money already. Back then, since Dumbledore was the one looking after me, I was not able to indulge even a little. After the war, I realized that my life needs to experience happiness and relaxation. The thought of not caring whether I spend too much and might go poor after a few years." Harry began as they went up the second floor.
"When Sirius died, he left everything he owned to me, including the house in Grimmauld Place. Everything in the house became mine and they had at least two vaults in Gringotts. Since I was never going to get my childhood back, I thought of trying to make up for the lousy one I grew up with. And when I had kids, I told myself that they will never go through what I went through. They will never be poor or lack of anything." Harry said, trying to smile bravely.
"Anyway... Enough of my boring and uninteresting past. This is one of the bedrooms on this floor. This is Lily's room and with it her own bathroom. I thought it was a wise decision to give them all their own bathrooms so that they wouldn't have to fight with each other over who gets to use it first. Even the guest rooms have their own bathrooms as well... You'll soon see them anyway..." Harry led Darco inside Lily's room. "What do you think?"

Harry smiled at Malfoy politely. He tried his best not to read his guest's mind. Harry was an accomplished Legilimence by profession. It was part of being an Auror which he wasn't really happy about. Entering other peoples minds to know the truth. He tried to brush off everything Malfoy had been thinking the whole night at the back on his mind. It was a bit hard to remember to answer Malfoy's words, not his thoughts.
“Since your children are still in school, it's not too late to give them each a bathroom. When they come back for the summer, they'd really appreciate it, I know. And it'll stop the bathroom supremacy wars. I gave them all their own bathrooms so that they wouldn't wait for each other to finish. Knowing my eldest would hex his younger brother and sister for taking too long and vice versa.” Harry said and chuckled.
“Thank you, Malfoy. I'm not really generous. I just thought ahead of the possibilities. Seeing the Weasleys rush to the bathroom in the mornings made me think about my own family. I wouldn't want my children to use their wands inside the house because of the bathroom.” he told the blond.
Harry then led Malfoy back out into the hall and next to the second floor library. “This is the second floor library which is connected to the ground floor library. I thought it was a good idea to have another door here to the library just in case me or the kids have to use it and head to bed quicker than going all the way around. But then again, it's just saying that I'm lazy of going all the way around the ground floor to the bedroom.” he added with another chuckle.

Harry smiled a little more wider. "I never knew you could laugh... Let alone at at my punchlines." He told Malfoy. The blond look a lot better when he was smiling and laughing. "Anyway, next is my bedroom. You might be surprised when you see it... Lily said it doesn't seemed anything like my personality. But I know better. It's who I was trying to hide since my first year at Hogwarts and my run in with the sorting hat." Harry explained.
Harry led Draco to his bedroom. The only room in the whole house where his own children do not enter without his permission. They wouldn't even dare, knowing Harry would have placed some sort of trapping charms to make sure no one but Harry can enter. He thought about why he was letting Malfoy see it. Then he stopping thinking all the way and just opened his bedroom door.
"And this is my bedroom... The only place where my own children have not entered without my permission. They knew that I would have placed charms on it... But I really didn't place anything. Reverse psychology and all. Something I had to learn from my line of work." Harry said as he entered his bedroom.

Harry knew what Malfoy was thinking and simply smiled at the thought. Who would have ever thought the saviour of the wizarding world would have a Slytherin side to his Gryffindor name? Harry couldn't possibly blame the MAlfoy for being in shock a bit. He was actually expecting it when he planned to let Malfoy see his chambers.
Harry watched as Malfoy look around his bedroom. He sat on his bed, happily watching Malfoy move about his room. "So, what do you think? You should know, the hat wanted to place me in Slytherin during our first year. But I asked it not too. Back then, you were not the person who you are now and it was the main factor why I hated you then. You were all snobby and mean to Ron and you actually insulted his family." Harry said.
"It was amazing really. To think that I manage to tell the sorting hat to put me somewhere else. When I met it again during my second year, near the end of the year, I asked it if he was still steadfast to his decision during our first year. And it said yes. That it still thought that Slytherin would have been the better house for me. But I told myself that I was a true Gryffindor. Look what I did back then. Totally Gryffindor, head string, brave, and selfless." Harry added as he sighed and lied back down on the bed.
"I'm sorry if I'm boring you with all this non sense about the past and all... It's just that, I have no one else to talk to really. Ron and Hermione had become too busy with work and such, Ginny with her tour, and the rest with their own lives... I can't see myself talking to my children about the time when I was young and died to save everyone and the world from Voldemort." Harry spoke with a voice full of sorrow and loneliness.
