So Much for No Strings Attached

Chapter 54 Date Night

 

‘So where are we going?’ asked Harry as they go to the reception room.

 

‘Muggle London,’ replied Lucius.

 

‘What are we doing?’ asked Harry.

 

‘I’ve got a table booked for us and tickets for the ballet,’ Lucius replied.

 

Harry blinked looking a bit overwhelmed. Lucius realised this was what Narcissa had meant that Harry had not grown up like they had. Still Harry was the Heir to seven Houses he was going to have to get used to high class dining and entertainment or he’d be eaten alive when he was introduced to the Wizengamot. Anyway the restaurant he had chosen wasn't the highest class he could have chosen to go to.

 

‘So how are we getting there?’ asked Harry.

 

‘We’ll be Apparating,’ Lucius said simply. Lucius nodded, ‘if we didn’t have a booking I’d have you right now.’

 

‘Oh and I’m sure it’s nothing about my father the Dark Lord in the other room,’ Harry said amused.

 

‘Nothing at all,’ Lucius said with a smirk on his face.

 

As soon as they had reached the end of the wards Harry wrapped his hand around Lucius’ arm. Lucius spun on his foot Apparating to an alley behind the shard. Just as always there was nobody there. Lucius could tell that his young lover was excited about visiting London. Apparently the Dursleys always dumped him with Mrs Figg whenever they went to London for the day so he had never gone to Muggle London or anywhere really before. Lucius had half a mind to go after the Dursleys now but that would put paid to the Dark Lord’s plans. Five minutes later and they had arrived at the Shard. They entered the foyer of the Shard. Lucius once more marvelled at how muggles could keep the entrance so pristinely white without magic to help them.

 

‘I have a table for two booked at the aqua shard at five,’ Lucius said imperiously. ‘Under the name Malfoy.’

 

‘Ah yes, sir, I’ve got you here,’ the young man said. ‘If you’d follow me.’

 

And indeed Lucius and Harry did with Harry being uncharacteristically silent looking nervously around at all the finery and elegance. Soon Lucius and Harry were seated by the large windows with views out over the Thames. Lucius ordered them sparkling water as the young man left them with menus as Harry’s gaze was drawn to fantastic views outside.
