Papa Theo
Hogwarts rumor mill was working with great efficiency since the arrival of the kids who claimed to be from the future. The Weasley twins saw this as a great opportunity to gain profit and so the famous “The chosen ones choice” betting pool was made. Choices from Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Cho Chang were made during the first few hours, but one particular Ravenclaw (Luna Lovegood) had made a bet on a new name that turned the tide, Luna had bet on Draco Malfoy.
Luna’s bet had reached the Slytherins, and so the bets for Draco Malfoy had increased ten fold in only an hour. However, the Weasley twins were soon to find another pair of twins who would rival them in mischief, the second pair of the Potter twins.
They had sneaked out of the Room of Requirement and cast a Notice-me-not as a precaution after their parents had eaten breakfast with them and were now in their classes. Lily had persuaded Leo to sneak into the Gryffindor tower to steal their father’s invisible cloak, to which Leo said yes, but they were soon distracted due to some students discussing their bets with the Weasley twins. Leo smirked upon hearing this and sent a look to his twin. “We need to find Uncle George and Uncle Fred,” Lily said walking to the third floor of the twins' usual spot during their free period.
They spot the twins at the hallways before they could even reach the infamous workshop of the two “Aren’t you the famous time travelling kids” George says who was now standing behind them. “I don’t think you should be walking the halls kiddos” Fred says who was now in front of them. “We need to talk to you about something” Lily grins giving the Weasley twins a look, the twins soon returning the grin.
“Is it me or is everyone staring at us more than usual?” Theo says as he and Draco walk to their spots in the Slytherin table. Draco looks at the Great Hall whispering to each other as they stare at Theo and him. “Daph, why is everyone-” Draco starts but was interrupted by the Greengrass sister
“Draco, you like Potter right? Do you like him more than Theo?” She says calculating. Draco looked at her bewildered by the statement.
“What? What is this about? What brought this on?” “There’s a betting pool about us” Theo showed him the paper that has everyone votes and bets
“Its either me or Potter you end up, and according to the bets I am winning” Draco shakes his head and gave the paper back to Daphne, grabbing 2 pieces of the lemon pie for the younger twins. “Are you coming with me, mon ours? Snape says we can be excused for afternoon classes to look after the kids.”
“That sounds awfully domestic of you. I’m rooting for you, Theo.” Astoria says changing her bet on the paper without looking up. Draco rolls her eyes and stands up with Theo carrying his bag. Theo gives a slight bow to Astoria and chuckles as his hand finds its usual spot on Draco’s shoulder.
Room of Requirement
James stares at the ceiling boredly chewing through his sandwich. “You’re gonna get indigestion and Maman is not here to brew you your medicine” Jean says, making the boy sit up. James groans frustrated. “I’m bored”
“We really can’t do much until Grandpa Lucy or Grandpa Paddy brings us a time turner. Until then, we’re stuck.” Scorp says hugging Rose’s waist as he turned his head on her lap. Rose plays with his blonde hair and smiles.
“Ugh, you guys are disgusting” James groans, turning away from the sight. “You’re just jealous he’s not here. Now, come up kiddo. You need to practice your quidditch skills.” Louis says ruffling the boy's blonde hair.
“Who is this he you mention?” Draco says plopping down the couch beside James. James turns away from Draco blushing.
“Ok keep your secrets kid, but I do have a question” Theo says leaning on Draco “How did your parents do it? How did the saviour trap mon ange?” “I don’t think we should tell Maman” Jean says, walking in with sandwiches for the other kids inside. “We CAN tell you, Papa Theo”
“You guys sure aren’t kidding with the Papa Theo thing” Pansy says walking in, kissing Louis’ cheek before settling down next to Draco. “You can tell your Papa Theo now about how Potter and this one got together because I will be taking Draco, we are needed by some first years” Theo bids them goodbye, kissing Draco’s hand before he leaves to which James fake gagged.
The 3 Malfoy-Potter kids present in the room, along with Louis, led the Slytherin through a door that led them to what seemed to be a portrait room. “Before we start, can you tell me why you call me Papa Theo? I’m not complaining, I’m just curious” Jean shifts in his seat and looks at Scorp. “Well, you’ll know after we tell you the story.” Scorp says leaning on the bookshelf next to him. Theo nodded at him and waited patiently for one of them to start. “Well, it all started in 1998…”
Black Manor, 2014
“You really should take it easy, Dray. You still have a month left for your pregnancy.” A man dressed in navy blue healer robes says as he helped the blonde take his seat at his office.
“Harry will kill me if anything happens to you.” Draco lightly laughs at the wizard and relaxes on the cushion behind him, supporting his back. “You worry too much, besides I’ve done this too many times to know my own body by now. You don’t need to worry, Theo”
The wizard simply ignored the blonde and continued to give him a lecture on the dangers of working so close to one’s end term of pregnancy. Draco felt himself slowly drifting to sleep as the other healer lectured him, when the floo chimed.
“Mr. Malfoy-Potter. Your presence is required immediately in my office with your husband.” Headmistress McGonagall says before disappearing, he gives Theo a look and sighs. “What has James done now”
Draco arrives with his husband via floo at the Headmistress’ office, it comes as a surprise when he sees 2 pairs of parents who all seemed to have worry written all over their face.
“What happened?” Harry says, guiding the pregnant Draco to a comfortable position on the chair in front of the Headmistress’ table.
“It seems like your kids, along with Louis P. Zabini, Rose and Hugo Granger-Weasley have disappeared. Students alerted their head of house that they did not sleep in their respected dorms\rooms when they did not have any classes earlier that day. No one has seen them. Even the map that was in Jean’s room does not show their location at Hogwarts. Mr. Yoon Soleil also confirmed their disappearance when he found their belongings in the come and go room.”
Hermione was the first to react from the couples inside the room, letting out a loud sigh. “Are we sure the kids have not sneaked out of the school? You know they are usually getting themselves in trouble.”
“Jean would’ve made sure they returned for classes.” Draco says, looking at the witch trying to calm himself. “For now, let’s explore our options on the next course of action.” Harry gives his husband comforting strokes trying to ease the tension that formed on the boy's shoulder. Blaise looks at Pansy before speaking.
“I think there may be something that could help us if they have simply snuck out. Louis wears a tracking earring, it was designed for situations like this.” The others merely nodded and let Blaise continue with his plans, hopeful and wishing their kids had somehow lost their mind. Blaise looks at his necklace connected to his son's earring.
“They’re not-” Blaise drops to a chair nearby “They’re not here. Not on this earth. But he’s- they are alive”
The adults fell into a silence. They were at a loss, they had no ideas as to where they could’ve been, or if their children were safe. Harry does his best to comfort his husband but to no avail, Draco’s tears were already falling out.
A few minutes pass by in complete silence with only Draco’s quiet whimpers heard in the room, when Harry feels a sharp tinge in his head, followed by the rest of the adults. “Seems like our kids ended up in the past” Harry says, holding his head with his left hand. “Guess we're teaming up once again, Blaise. Let's get a time turner”
