First Day of School Pt. 2
Italics; speaking in french, unless otherwise stated (such as flashbacks)
As the family walked down the street towards the elementary school, the younger Malfoy was clinging tighter and tighter to his brother's neck. Now Cyrus would be clinging his stuff dragon, Toothless, but he didn't want to be called a "baby" by his classmates if they saw him with it.
Once they reached the entrance Cyrus was put down on the ground, while his brother put his backpack on him, that Draco was wearing while walking towards the school. Once his backpack was on Cyrus immediately grabbed onto Draco's hand.
"Sunshine, can I have a hug goodbye?" Regulus asked, as he kneeled down to his godson's level. Without a second thought Cyrus let go of Draco's hand and ran into his godfathers arm. Regulus, in return, tighten his grip around the younger and stood up, spinning him around, before releasing his hold.
This cause both Malfoy boys to smile, and even a little laugh was heard from the younger. "Now, i'll see you boys back home. Cyrus if your good for Draco we may have cake for dessert." He said as he made his way to the Three Broomsticks to head back home to finish packing for Hogwarts.
"It better be chocolate, Uncle Reggie!" The younger shouted, as he retook his brothers hand.
Making their way inside and towards Cyrus's classroom the younger stopped, causing his brother to also stop. "Whats wrong?" He asked, now bending down in front of the younger.
"Scared" The younger whispered. While fiddling with his fingers.
Draco smiled at his brother, "There's nothing to be scared of. Causes i'll be with you all day today, hey maybe you'll make a friend."
Cyrus looked back at his brother, reaching out towards him. Draco pulled his brother into a hug, and hand and hand the two made their way to the classroom.
After putting Cyrus bag in his cubby, which he was very excited about, the two made their way to a small table.
"Captain?" A voice asked as the duo made their way to the table.
Draco looked up and saw the vice captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, Andrew Lock.
"Lock? What are you doing here?" Draco asked has his brother took a seat.
The elder boy let out a chuckle, "I'm here with my little sister. What you thought I was redoing kindergarden or something?"
Draco responded by giving him the Malfoy Glare. Andrew, of course was use to it just ignored it. As the two where catching up a little girl, who was playing in a corner full of dolls, came up to Cyrus who was just listening to the older boys conversation.
"HI!" the girl shouted.
Cyrus jumped up, and went straight into his brother's side. "Cy what's wrong?" Draco asked confused of what caused his brother to react like this.
"Diana. What have I told you about shouting?" Andrew said looking over to the girl.
"To yell outside," the girl, Diana, respond while looking down.
Andrew nodded his head, "Thats right. Now come over here and seat down, then apologize to Cyrus."
The girl did as she was told. "Im sorry for shouting."
Cyrus, who at this point calmed down enough to leave his hiding place, "it's okay," He said to the girl. With all of his Gryffindor cougar Cyrus spoke again, "My name is Cyrus Malfoy."
The girl, who was happy that the boy forgave looked up at her brother with a smile before telling Cyrus her name followed by her asking him to be her friend. Cyrus looked up at his brother, making sure its okay with him, who gave his brother a smile and a tight squeeze of his shoulder. Soon the two were playing together on the carpet, with a couple other kids.
Draco was honestly surprised how quickly his brother accepted the girl to be his friend.
"I'm sorry for you lost, Malfoy." Lock said. Almost everyone in the wizarding world had heard for what had happened to the couple. Draco just nodded a thanks, he didn't mind people saying sorry to him. But he HATED it when they first died, and almost everywhere he went random people who had known his parents gave him their condolences.
"I heard what happened to your folks." Draco said.
Just like with his parents Voldemort had killed the Lock's. But according to some of his followers a group of Auror's had killed them.
"Yeah, but unlike your folks mine didn't give two shits about me or Diana."
"I get it." Draco said.
By this point the two younger siblings came back to the table with Miss. Dove greeting the room. After a few morning announcements from the teacher she asked her students to intro themselves and the person who came with them, as well as a fun fact about said person.
As the other kids said their name and introduced either their parents or grandparents, Cyrus became nervous seeing that only him and Diana seemed to have brought their big brothers. But, just like before, Cyrus built up the cougar to speak and raised his hand waiting to be called on.
"Thank you, Lucas. Its since to meet you Mr. Turner. Let's see, Cyrus would you like to go next?" Miss. Dove asked.
Cyrus nodded his head and stood up, making sure his brother also was standing. "Hello, my name is Cyrus Malfoy. And I brought my big brother Draco with me today." Cyrus stated.
A course of hellos were heard, with a few parents giving Draco a sorry look. Miss. Dove smiled then asked Cyrus what's a fun fact about Draco. Most of the kids said that their parents worked at the Ministry, or had a shop, some even said their parents worked in the muggle world.
"Draco, is captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team at Hogwarts!" Cyrus said.
Many of the boys, in class gasped saying how 'cool' and 'awesome' Cyrus's brother. After seating back down, Draco ruffled his brother hair and whispered that he did a good job.
~small timeskip~
As the day was coming to a end, Draco was shocked that his brother didn't have an episode. Even in the loud lunchroom, he also knew Lock's sister was going to be by his brother side the whole time.
By this point Miss. Dove announced that for the rest of the day the kids could go play on the playground, until it was time to go home. So classroom A4 went outside to play for the rest of the day.
As the two brothers were talking about whatever two teenage boys talk about (A/N: crying as a trans boy, who doesn't know what cis men talk about 🥲) Miss. Dove walked over, and explained to them that pick will start at around 2:00pm and 4:00pm. She also had them fill out a form saying who is allowed to pick up, and how they are related to the child.

When filling out Diana's pick up form, Andrew also put Draco's name. Just as the two boys handed over their forms Diana walked over, hand-and-hand, with a very tired looking Cyrus Malfoy.
Draco, who already had Cyrus backpack on him, bent down, "Tired bubs?".
Draco received a nod from the younger as he let go of his friends hand and went up to his brother, who picked him up. "We better get going."
"Yeah, same here. Think they both had a good day." Andrew said as he picked up his sister and placed her on his shoulders.
"You had fun?" Draco asked as they duo went to the Three Broomsticks, while the Lock's just apparition, to use floo back home.
Cyrus just nodded, even though he wasn't a baby anymore he really really just wanted to take a nap.
Draco hummed in response.
"Cy Cy. Do you want me to hold you or do you want to hold my hand while we use the floo?" Draco asked once they reached the fireplace.
After a few seconds, without a response, Draco looked down and saw that his brother in less than 10 minutes had fallen asleep.
With that the duo went into the fireplace with Draco calling out, "12 Grimmauld Place".
