Chapter Two: Surprises at Malfoy Manor
Draco and Max shook hands and for a moment they just stood in silence. Both men were just for the moment studying one another. Finally after a moment Draco cleared his throat and broke the silence. As he did he gestured towards the motor bike.
"Thank you for giving me a chance. Even if it doesn't to work out with your Mum,I would like to get to know you son.
I know you must have alot of questions and I have no problem answering what I know. So how far is where you are staying?"
Draco asked and for a moment Max was quiet then he ran a hand over the seat of the Motor bike and looked at Draco.
"I do have alot od questions but I think Mum also has some explaining to do. You see she always told me growing up that she'd always love my Father and for a long time I always wondered why you left her. Now if you didn't know about me, why all this time did she keep me away from you? I know that I would like to know a bit about your side of our family and not just what I've heard from other people but the truth as you see it. "
As Max said this as he looked at Draco levely. He was the same height as his Father so they looked at each other eye to eye like men.
"I will tell you anything you want to know. But I also know you didn't answer my question. How far away? I ask because I think if you don't mind we can take one of my cars and you could leave your bike here. I promise i will take good care of her and there is space in my garage and a place to refuel her with petro if you need to."
Max smiled at that and he chuckled a moment. As he did he removed his silver framed sunglasses and he just shook his head.
"You know you catch on quick for an old guy. Normally I am able to get away for a short bit without answering. Alright we're in London so it's a quite bit away. And maybe we both shouldn't ride the bike I wouldn't want to give you a heart attack now would I Draco? So alright I could leave her here and she's close to empty so sure if you want to lend me a hand and show me the way I'll fill her up. Thanks."
As Max said this he began to walk the bike and pushed it a bit towards the house. Draco to Max's surprise began to help him push the bike and he indicated a building to the left of them. Max nodded and after a few minutes they arrived at a small building. Draco walked over and pulled the door open and as he did sunlight filled the room and he and Max pushed the bike into the garage.
Max stopped as he looked around at the room and for a moment he was silent. The garage was filled with cars,several but also to his surprise many motorcycles as well. Max walked over and for a moment ran his hand over a red and black Bugatti and Draco just was silent.
"It's a Bugatti.She's my personal favorite actually."
Draco replied as he watched his son a moment before he pulled a set of keys out of his pocket and threw them to Max.
Max caught the keys and looked at Draco in surprise.
" Wait why are you throwing me the keys? You want me to drive? That is I can drive this beautiful car Draco are you sure?"
Max was in awe and astoundment.For the moment his bike was forgotten as he got in the car and turned the engine over and listened to her purr. Draco walked over and for a moment he just chuckled as he indicated a switch to which Max pressed and the top came down.
"It's a convertable and sure why not? I mean you know where we are going afterall. Also I haven't been able to take her out much lately as I've been busy."
As Draco said this he went over and called for a servant to go and take care of Max's motor bike.
"Please make sure my son's bike is fueled up and hold on a second ."
Draco turned and looked over at Max who had turned off the engine as was walking towards Draco and a man who was dressed in a suit and tie. As Max noticed this man was a bit older but he had a kind face and smiled.
"Max would you mind if my butler Nigel has a look at your bike? "
Nigel bowed and told Max in a pleasant voice.
"I would be honored young master. I am a mechanic and she is a classic.I noticed that when you arrived earlier sir,that the clutch sounded like she was sticking a bit."
As Nigel said this for a moment Max ran a hand over the bike and nodded.
"Yes but please be careful with her. She's my baby and and yes the clutch does stick at times. Good ear. She was a present from my Uncle Gavin it was my Granfather Granger's before he died."
As Max said this he pulled a set of keys out of his pocket and handed them to Nigel.
"I will see to it that it will be running at peak preformance as well as take very good care of her. I look after all of Master Draco's vehicles. "
Nigel took the keys and he moved the bike over to an area where he began to look the bike over. Max looked at Draco as he began to walk towards the house and for a moment Max did nothing but then he was curious and followed Draco into the Manor.
"Did you say we were having Lasagna Max? I may have a bottle or two around of a nice Chianti. Let me have a look and see. Feel free to make yourself at home. Are you hungry? It's noon would you like lunch?"
Draco asked using his manners as he walked with Max into the kitchen and to Max's surprise the kitchen wasn't full of house elves as Max had expecred from the way that his Uncle's Harry and Ron had told him about the Malfoy family.
"I could eat. Don't you have a house elf Draco? I mean I assumed that you would have several and it came to a surprise to me that you have a human butler."
As Max said this Draco had gone to stick his head into a stainless steel fridgerator and then pulled his head out and looked at Max.
"Nope not a single house elf. I gave them all their freedom long ago.I will be honest with you it was a real bitch to convince some of them that they were free and for a time I would find one or another sneaking and doing my laundry or leaving me breakfast. Pretty much I just have Nigel and a cook but today is her day off so we have to fend for ourselves. So anything in particular you want to eat? ."
Max shook his head and absorbed his Father's words. He sat down at a table and watched Draco put on an apron and began to cook.
"I never figured you to be able cook. It's really good thanks Draco."
Max said as he took a bite of his food and smiled. It was rather good. Draco smiled and took a bite as well of his food.
"Have to eat to live right? It's not too much it's only a hamburger. You really think it's good Max?"
"Yes it's good and I am just surprised you know. I mean no offense but your a very wealthy man and you could easily hire a hundred servants. So why only the two if I might ask and no house elves?"
As Max asked this Draco was in the middle of chewing and for a moment held a hand up to indicate he needed a moment. He took a sip of his drink and then swallowed. As he did he thought about it a moment.
"Well the most brilliant womn I ever have known had a small part to it. Atleast the releasing of my house elves. The other part was I figured why have a hundred servants when it would just be me here. I like my privacy and Nigel and his wife Sarah have worked for me now seventeen years. I know that I think,no I know I would go insane being in this big house all by myself.Would you like more to drink? "
As Draco asked this he went and got another glassful of Pepsi for himself and brought the bottle over and sat it on the table. Max raised an eyebrow at Draco but said nothing. He was thinking quite a bit and he had to admit that he knew very little about his father in truth.
"How well do you want to get to know me? I mean would you like to see what I do on my days where i have nothing better to do?"
Max asked this as he for a moment was curious to how Draco would react. Draco smiled and finished his burger and nodded and replied.
"Alright I'm game what do you have in mind?"
Max grinned as he looked Draco over a moment.
"We're going to the mall."
