As Alexander grew older, Draco's protective instincts kicked in with renewed vigor. He had always been fiercely loyal to his family, but his role as a big brother to Alexander brought out a side of him that was both nurturing and fiercely protective.
One afternoon, as they wandered the grounds of Hogwarts, Draco kept a watchful eye on Alexander, who was exploring a patch of wildflowers with boundless curiosity. Draco's gaze followed his every move, his posture tense yet filled with a deep sense of affection.
"Be careful, Alexander," Draco called out, his voice carrying a hint of concern. "Those flowers can be tricky if you're not careful."
Alexander looked up, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I know, Draco. I'll be careful, I promise."
Draco couldn't help but smile at his brother's determination, but his protective instincts remained on high alert. He had seen firsthand the dangers that lurked in the wizarding world, and he was determined to shield Alexander from harm.
As they continued their stroll, Draco subtly positioned himself between Alexander and any potential hazards, his senses attuned to every sound and movement around them. His protective stance didn't go unnoticed by Harry and Lucius, who exchanged amused glances at Draco's overprotective tendencies.
Later that evening, as they gathered for dinner in the Great Hall, Draco kept a vigilant eye on Alexander, ensuring that he ate well and stayed out of trouble. His watchful presence didn't go unnoticed by Alexander, who looked up at Draco with a mixture of admiration and exasperation.
"Draco, I can take care of myself, you know," Alexander said, a hint of teasing in his tone.
Draco chuckled, ruffling Alexander's hair affectionately. "I know, little brother. But it's my job to look out for you."
Harry and Lucius watched the exchange with fondness, grateful for Draco's protective nature and the bond that had grown between their sons. They knew that Draco's overprotectiveness stemmed from a place of love and devotion—a desire to keep his family safe in a world filled with uncertainties.
As the evening wore on and laughter filled the air, Draco's protective stance softened slightly, replaced by a sense of warmth and contentment. He knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, he would always stand by Alexander's side, a guardian of his heart and a steadfast pillar of support.
And as they bid farewell to another day at Hogwarts, Harry, Lucius, Draco, and Alexander walked together, united by the unbreakable bonds of family and the unwavering love that bound them together.
