Draco would have been right; if Lucius himself had offered the gold, he would have declined it. That? That his pride couldn't have taken on in any method, even against his common sense. He couldn't help that, not after everything he'd gone through in his life.

When he glanced over to the trunk, making sure it was well in hand, he gripped his wand in the other hand and concentrated carefully on his home. There was a specific place that everyone Apparated, just to be safe - basement. No one was down there and for good reason. Draco might catch it as they landed after what was a particularly longer Apparated that the basement was nigh on empty except for some large pillows, a large metal bowl, all tucked up in the corner.

He took his curse seriously, since no longer did he have any Animagus friends to keep the wolf occupied during the full moon.

"There we go! Not too bad." Apparation was always harder on a Side-Along. He gave an easy smile towards Draco, already looking more relaxed now that he was home. He ignored the room he was in and instead went for the door, popping it open so Draco could get his trunk through. On the other side showed that the basement was divided and the other room was quite nice. A simple little play room for Teddy.
