I do not own Harry Potter, nor any of the characters from the books or movies. I do not make any money from the writing of this story.
Teaser
To my lovely readers!
I have decided that I need to start writing again. I'll be updating this story by the end of this week, hopefully, and I greatly appreciate all of you that have added my story to your alerts, and faved it, and to those that have reviewed! The constant adds and what not have been reminding me of what I've neglected and I have come to rescue it. And for being so committed to my story, I've decided to reward you with a small preview of the next chapter!
Non-beta'd so bear with me if there are a few mistakes... -.-'

-----------------------
It was far too much for the young boy in the tub to process at once. Not only was he free of his abusive uncle, but he was also the property of the Prince! Of all people to buy him at an auction in the most obscure place possible, the Prince happened to be there and purchase him. he couldn't fathom it. harry was at a complete loss and merely sunk under the water to get his hair. It was pointless anyways. Trying to figure out what had happened within the past 8 hours was too much at once. When the raven haired boy poked the top half of his head out of the scented water, he spotted the soaps. He vaguely remembered the term as he scooted closer to them. The scents wafted over to him as a breeze rolled through the nearby open window. Harry decided upon the least scented one. He didn't want to smell like a girl after all. Even in the lower classes, they knew women were supposed to have some sort of sweet scent. Men were supposed to be musky. But, it seemed that poor Harry was to smell like lavender. He sighed and washed himself, rubbing the soap through his hair to get the grime out.
Bright green eyes closed as water came up to meet them. Harry was going under water to rinse his hair. He failed to note the blonde walking in. But not looking for the mass of black hair going under. Cerulean eyes widened when they noted that the hair in the tub was black and not blonde, completely opposite of the young prince the eyes expected to encounter. After all, it wasn't improper for a family member to speak with another while one was in the tub. Often times it was the most private of conversations, one could be free of the fear that another would listen unless invited. Robes swished as the figure turned and left just as Harry emerged from the water, making sure his hair was clean before using the coconut milk to make his hair soft. The poor boy didn't even know how he knew what was to be used and when, but he went along with it and didn't question it.

Draco smiled as he found his father in the library, knocking and entering when beckoned. He bowed respectfully as he took his cloak off and handed it to the servant in the room, smiling softly as the servant rushed to hang his cloak in his room. He turned his mercury eyes to his father and strode to his desk, sitting on it when he reached it. "Father, I have made.... An unusual purchase... And before you chastise me about it and tell me how unwise it was, I want you to know why I did what I did. I went to an auction house..." the older Malfoy stared at his son, eyebrow quirking a little. Draco never went to an auction house. Ever. His son always found the process of yelling out bids and fighting others for an object unappealing and barbaric. He motioned for his son to continue, eager to hear his reasoning and excuses. "I purchased a slave. His uncle was abusive, and disrespected me. I made sure the money went right to the auction house and told them if I found out it went to the uncle in any way, I would shut them down. I just had to rescue this boy Fa-" "Boy? You bought a male slave? Draco, how many times must I try to ingrain in you that you need to produce an heir after taking the throne? You could have at least bought a female and created an illegitimate heir with her in case you never produce a male with your wife in later years."
Draco shut his mouth and looked away, standing slowly. "But father, I didn't buy him to sleep with him. I bought him to save him from what he was being subjected to." he breathed, bowing as his father motioned for him to leave. "Lucius! Lucius! There is a strange boy in our sons bathroom using his bath!" "Go, I'll explain it to your mother." Draco nodded and bowed to his mother before leaving to find his little... No, not HIS anything! Just the boy he saved. His charge. Yes. Charge. That's all he was going to be.
-----------------------
Alright! There's your teaser. Hope you like it. I'll probably add a few more things in that and then add the rest of what I now have churning in my mind. Review if you like it so far! And maybe, if you post something you would like to happen in this story, I'll put it in. With recognition of course. Maybe I'll have a contest... I don't know haha, I know someone said something about Lucius being the one to walk in on Harry in the tub but I thought it wouldn't make sense since that's who Draco was going off to meet and talk to. I'll go back through the reviews and find out who posted it and give them credit when I post the actual chapter.
Thank you lovies!
