The Littlest Slytherin
Monday Morning
It has just been over a week since Cyrus Malfoy arrived at Hogwarts. Today will mark Draco's first day back to class, his friends, besides Pansy, have been bringing Draco his work for the past week. As Draco was getting both himself and Cyrus ready he heard a knock at his door.
Since breakfast service has just began, at 7:00 AM and it was now 8:00 AM, 1 hour ago. Draco was thankful that today he only had his afternoon classes, DADA and double potions with Hufflepuff, and that there would be hardly anyone in the Great Hall at this time.
"Wonder who that is Cy?" Draco asked his brother. Who in response just giggled & tried to grab at his brother's robe sleeves.
Draco just laughed at his brother, while picking him up, and headed towards the door.
"Fucking took you long enough." Apollo said, right as he was meet with Draco's grey eyes.
"God, Apollo. How many times have I told you, don't swear in front of Cyrus." Draco responded, while giving Apollo the 'Malfoy Death Glare'.
Apollo just put his hands up in defense. Next to Apollo stood Blaise. "Looks like someones pissed off."
Draco then looked at Blaise, "Shut it Blaise,"
"Now that everyone has said their 'good mornings' are you ready to go down for breakfast?" Apollo asked after a few seconds of silence between the three.
"Yeah, let me just grab our stuff, Zabini hold Cy." Draco asked while handing his brother over to Blaise and turning back into the apartment.
Cyrus didn't like the idea of being away from his brother, he had just woken up and wanted to cuddle with his brother, and started to squirm in Blaise's arms.
"Oh, stop that now little Heir of Slytherin." Blaise said. But Cyrus was not having it.
Cyrus began to make grabby hands to the painting, which had closed once Draco reentered, "Dwaco." Cyrus kept repeating. Mr. Preston had thankfully gotten use to this, and tried but failed to make the younger Malfoy happy.
"For Merlin's sake give him to me." Apollo said after a few minutes, "What is taking Draco so fucking long," He thought to himself while now having a crying Malfoy in his arms.
"Shhh," Apollo began. "Come on bubs, Draco will be right back." Apollo said while trying to calm the baby. Insteadly, as if by magic, Cy's cries turn into whimpers, which then turned into a quiet sniffle every few seconds. "There you go bubs."
"Fucking Lupin." Blaise thought to himself. During this time Draco had came out of the painting.
"Bye, Preston we'll see you in a few," Draco said as the painting closed behind him. Mr. Preston in response tipped his hat. "Now, who's ready for some breakfast?" Draco asked while trying to take his brother out of Apollo's arms.
"No. Stay wif 'Polo." The younger said while wrapping his arm around Apollo's neck and burying his face into his neck.
Draco felt a small pain in his heart, but decided not to say anything. While Blaise was trying to not laugh at the event. "Zabini, don't make me hex you!" Draco shouted at the still laughing Italian.
~Time Skip~
Zabini was just walking out of Herbology with Professor Sprout when Pansy, who was in the same class as him, came up behind him. "Blaise," She shouted.
Blaise tried to ignore, like his has been doing for the past week, but Pansy was just NOT getting the hint.
"Blaise will you stop ignoring me!" She shouted, causing all the second and third years around them to look. Blaise, who didn't like this one bit turned around.
"God, Pansy what is with you this past week. All rubbing up against me during meals, then it was trying to sneak into MY dorm room, you know the rules." Blaise started explaining as the two began to walk towards their next class, Divination.
"Weeelll, maybe it's because my Drake hasn't been in school for a week, or you became more handso-" Pansy started off, but was then cut off by seeing her 'Drake' coming back from the courtyard, as hardly no one besides Apollo had just afternoon classes.
Draco, who was holding an almost asleep Cyrus, and talking to Apollo didn't notice the other two members of their 'gang' until of course they heard Pansy annoying voice, "Drake, are you feeling better?" she called down the hall.
Upon hearing her voice, Draco handed over his brother to Apollo and whispered in his ear, "Take him to our flat, you remember the password right?"
Apollo nodded, and then took his and Cyrus's bags. Now it was time for Draco to act as if he was sick. "Great" he thought to himself.
"Drake who was that?" Was the first thing of out Pansy mouth to Draco. Blaise and Draco both shared a look, a look that meant she knew.
Draco, decide to play dumb. "What are you talking about P," deciding to use the nickname she had asked him to call her.
"Draco Lucius Malfoy. Don't you dare play dumb with me now. Now for the second time who's the baby?" Pansy said with a serious tone in her voice.
Draco decided lie, about who's baby it was, but not lie about the details. "It's Apollo's younger brother. An-"
"Draco I know your lying," Pansy said while holding her hand up, "I only knew this because of our-"
This time Draco cut her off, "Yes I know who, the 'Slytherin Gossiper'. But I was going to tell you, I just haven't had the time."
Pansy gave her 'boyfriend' a sad look, a look that basically meant "I forgive you", and went over and hugged him. Draco inreturn awkwardly put his arms around his 'girlfriend'.
"Now Drake, I better see you and your brother at lunch." Pansy said as she started to walk past Draco. Blaise and Draco gave her a small nod and turned the other way.
"So, all of Slytherin will be seeing both of their Heir's at lunch I assume?" Blaise asked as he started to walk towards the Divination tower, which was in the same direction as Draco's flat.
"Hopefully. It matters how Cyrus is feeling, he may not even want to be in the Great Hall for lunch," Draco began to ramble.
Blaise just let Draco talk, giving him a nod in response.
~Time Skip~
After Draco had returned to his flat he found that Apollo was able to put his brother down for a nap. Before he left Draco informed him about what had just happened between him and Pansy.
"Listen, I know this isn't my place to say this," Apollo started, after Draco had finished his little rant about what had happened minutes prior.
"Go on." Draco said, while copying down his DADA notes from the last week.
"I don't think it's a good idea, even though everyone knows, to bring Cy to the Great Hall."
Draco, out of shock, stopped what he was doing and turned around from his desk. "Lupin," he started.
"Yeah, yeah. I know 'your a bl-" Apollo started but was quickly cut off my Draco, "No. Your bloody brilliant, for once."
Apollo was shocked that THE Draco. His crush since last year. Had just said he was 'bloody brilliant'. At this point Draco, after checking his watch, saw that it was around an hour before DADA and around 30 minutes before he had to wake his brother and get lunch. So after a 10 sec thought process he made the decision.
"Apollo, would you like to do a small favor for me?" Draco asked as he got up to go from his bedroom to the living room.
Apollo, not questioning Draco, followed the blonde into the living room. "So, I want you to go down to the Great Hall and get me and Cy lunch. And if Pansy ask say, that we didn't feel comfortable coming down but we will come for dinner." Malfoy stated as he lead Apollo to the front door.
Apollo just nodded his head and left.
Once entering the Great Hall. Apollo saw something that he immediately, once he got back to the flat, needed to tell Draco. What Apollo saw was Pansy, Draco's "girlfriend", sitting on Blaise's lap and both seemed to be enjoying it.
Back in Draco's flat, Apollo told him everything he had just saw. Draco decided right there and then, even though he had just put Cyrus into his highchair to eat, that he was going to write a letter to Pansy announcing that he didn't want to 'date' her anymore and also another secret he hadn't told anyone expect for Blaise.
That secret was, Draco Malfoy was gay.
