3rd Year Starts
Cygnus smiled softly as his Mum fretted over him before they left for Platform 9 and 3/4. She checked his dress; his hair, which was braided; his trunk, and made sure he felt alright. All of which passed her test. Well, after Lucius calmed her.
"It's okay, Papa. It is my first time away at school since I came home." Cygnus says softly. "I have a feeling all will be well, however."
"I know, son," Lucius replies, kissing his son's forehead. "We must get going, however. Grab your trunks."
The boys were both dressed well. Although nothing less would be expected of the Malfoy twins.
Draco was wearing a black muggle pair of pants, a black turtleneck shirt, and a black blazer on top. His blonde hair was combed back but no longer gelled to the extreme.
Cygnus wore a black long-sleeved A-lined dress that went to his calves. His blonde hair was put into a fishtail braid and went down to his mid-back.
As the boys boarded the train, they were stopped by Ron and Hermione. The two former friends of Cygnus Malfoy looked pissed off. Their wands pointed at their faces were a good clue.
"Malfoy." Stated Ron with a sneer. "And the new Malfoy. What a pleasant surprise. I thought I would have to wait."
Cygnus felt himself move closer to Draco at the crazed look in Weasley's eyes. He couldn't believe he used to be friends with them. The way they apparently treated everyone, especially his new family and friends.
"RON!" Cried out the new head boy, Percy Weasley, as he moved between the group. "Go. Now. I want you with the prefects. Tell them I sent you both." He then turned to the Malfoy twins with a soft smile at Cygnus. "I'm happy for you, Malfoy. The twins are too. Let us know if you need anything. You're still our little brother."
Cygnus hugged Percy tightly. He needed those words. The Weasleys meant the world to him. To know that at least Percy and the twins still loved him. To know they had his back... It meant the world to him.
"Now, I have two third years to deal with. You both," he glances at Draco. "Take care. And remember, we will always be family. Even if you are a Malfoy now."
"Thank you, Percy." Cygnus whispers.
Upon arriving at their compartment, which already held Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe, and Daphne Greengrass.
Pansy, a girl with pitch-black hair that went just past her shoulders and tanned skin, quickly rose from her seat and hugged the twins.
"Are you ok? I overheard Weasley and Granger say something about almost getting you two!"
Cygnus hugged the girl, that was like a sister to him, tightly. "We are okay, Pans. Safe and sound. Percy Weasley helped us. He and the twins are on my side!"
"Good. We knew you were worried about losing them the most." Commented Blaise Zabini, Cygnus's future mate.
It was found out through the inheritance and birth certificate test. Both were requirements for Blood Adoption. Both reveal information none of the Malfoy were ready for.
Harry, soon-to-be Cygnus, watched as both Lucius and Narcissa gained tears in their eyes. They had just finished reading the birth certificate. He was told it would hold his name, date of birth, mother's name, father's name, any possible siblings, all four grandparents and immediate aunts and uncles, with his Godparent and god siblings.
He was slowly handed the papers:

Cygnus now understood the look in his Father's eyes back then. He was a child presumed to be dead. His eyes watered as he hugged his parents close. He wasn't an orphan! He didn't have to be adopted! He was a true Malfoy!
Cygnus smiled softly as he sat in Blaise's lap. The two had grown close over the summer. Well, the entire group grew closer. It was as if Cygnus was the missing piece of their friend group. It was well known Blaise was the Dad of the group, but Cygnus was definitely the Mum.
When they arrived at Hogwarts, Cygnus was ushered to the first years as he would be sorted directly after them. One of them was Astoria Greengrass, Daphne's little sister.
"We have a new student who will join our third year," began Headmaster Dumbledore. "Welcome, Cygnus Malfoy."
As it had with his brother, the hat barely touched his head before yelling out Slytherin for the world to hear. Smiling widely, he quickly made his way to his brother. Draco gave his brother a small hug and sat him in between him and Blaise.
"Uncle Sev!" cried Cygnus hugging his Godfather. "Percy helped us! I didn't lose him or the twins!"
"That is good, Cygnus. I am happy for you." smiled his Uncle softly.
They had gathered in Severus's quarters after introducing the first years, and Cygnus was happily telling his Godfather all about the train ride. The man, however, was also thinking of a letter he needed to write. He knew Remus Lupin would recognize the scent of his cub. That could cause problems later on.
"Lucius! Their letter's arrived!" Exclaimed Narcissa happily as she walked into her husband and mate's office. "Shall we read Cygnus's first?"
"I suppose. I can tell the anticipation is killing you, Love."
Lucius Malfoy did not squeal as he was hit with a stinging hex. He did not.
Dear Mum and Papa,
I got into Slytherin! I share a room with Dray and Blaise. I had a few friends come tell me they still support and care for me. The main ones, however, were the Weasley Twins, Percy Weasley and Neville Longbottom.
Weasley and Granger tried attacking me on the train but Percy handled it. He made sure they'll stay away from me.
Professor McGonagall also showed her support by taking points and giving them a months detention. I believe Granger thought she was brutally murdered the way she cried. She does have odd priorities.
Well, I am really tired so I am going to head to bed. Please keep Hedwig for a bit, I think she has been really tired lately.
Love,
Your Son,
Cygnus A. Malfoy
Remus John Lupin couldn't quite believe his wolf for the first time. He believed him with Sirius being his mate. He believed him when calling Prongs, Padfoot, Lily, and Harry his pack. He even believed him upon calling Harry his pseudo cub. Yet he could not believe that Harry was this Cygnus Malfoy kid. However, his nose could never lie.
