It was Christmas morning of 1996. The whole of Hogwarts was covered in beautiful white snow. The few students and teachers were stayed for Christmas were busy opening their parents with their friends and fun with their friends. Well, everyone but 2 boys. Down at the bottom of Hogwarts in the Hogwarts dungeons lays the Slytherin common room. The common room is quite cosy despite it having a feeling of a mysterious, underwater shipwreck. The room was decorated with things of green and black. And at the very end of the hall was a big glass with window looking into the black window.
Sat one of the dark green sofas in front of the blaring fireplace was the two boys. One boy, on the left, was slender with sleek white-blond hair, cold grey eyes, a pale but greyish complexion and rather sharp, pointed features. He is quite thin, with dark shadows under his eyes. He was currently wearing a white button shirt and black short trousers. On his lap was a woolly Slytherin jumper. His left arm had a mark on it that was a glittering green skull with a snake protruding from its mouth. The boy on the right, who was holding a wand to the first boy’s arm. The boy had a very pale white complexion (he looked ill he was that pale) with green eyes under black round glasses. He had dyed his natural brown hair into spikey light blue with a skin fade. He had several piercings and several chains around his neck. The boy was wearing black leather trousers, a white blouse and black doc Martins. Next to him was a black leather jacket covered in spikes. This boy also had the dark mark on his left arm.
“Apollo are you sure it’s safe for us to visit Harry’s family?” the blond asked as the other, Apollo, tapped his wand on the mark on the blond’s arm causing it to disappear. “Yeah, it’s safe Draco. We are just meeting our boyfriends’ parents, his godfather, his Godfather’s boyfriend and his adopted cousins. No biggie”. Draco pulls his arm back and puts the jumper on “stop joking about. I’m serious. What about the ma-” Draco was quickly cut off by hospital boyfriend “bane, we will be fine. I said I’d protect you so I will. We are just going to have Christmas dinner with our very hot boyfriend and his family” Draco nods and sat in silence as he watched Apollo wrapped tight bandages around his arm to hide the mark, making his arm slightly paler before putting in his leather jacket.
“You really need to stop doing that. You could hurt yourself”
“Aww is draky waky worried about me?”
“Apollo”
“I’ll be fine Babe.”
Draco was about to say something else when a face appeared through the fire. It was the face of their third boyfriend. He had dark raven coloured messy hair, green eyes, a lighting scar and round black glasses. “Come on through you two. Come meet me family” The face said before disappearing. The two Boys got up, took a deep breath (downed a bottle of fire whiskey in Apollo's case) and went through the fire.
On the other end of the fire, the two boys arrived in a living room full of people. Stood closest to them was the boy who was the fireplace. He was wearing a red jumper with a H on the front and black trousers. He was the famous Harry Potter. Sat on the sofa closest to Harry was his parents James and Lily Potter. James look like an older version on Harry but with rectangular glasses. He was wearing a Christmas jumper, a Christmas hat and black trousers. Lily was wearing a dress that was covered in Christmas things as well as green tights and a cooking apron. She had ginger hair that flowed down to mid chest and emerald, green eyes.
“Wow Harry, you didn’t tell me ya dad was hot”
“Apollo!”
“What! I think I have gone for the wrong Potter”
“We are identical!”
On the other sofa was a couple and a girl. The first man of the couple had light brown hair and brown eyes. His face was covered in his scars. The man was wearing a brown jumper with patches on the elbows and black trousers with black shoes. The man was trying to read a book, but it was very hard with his boyfriend cuddled so close that he was practically sat on his lap. Draco and Apollo recognised this man as the man who taught them a few years ago, Remus Lupin. Remus boyfriend had wavy shoulder length black hair and grey eyes. He was wearing a black, band t-shirt, a leather jacket, ripped black jeans and black doc Martins. Draco knew who he was straight away. He was his mother cousin, Sirius black. The woman at the end of the sofa had long curly black hair, brown eyes and olive toned skin. She was wearing a black top with a black leather jacket and dark jeans. Neither Draco nor Apollo could recognise her at all. Sat on a wooden chair that didn’t seem to belong to the room was a boy the boys recognised from their classes, Orpheus Thornton. Orpheus had short curly brown hair and brown eye. He was currently wearing a knitted blue jumper and black jeans.
Once he took everyone in, Draco quickly used his pureblood training to greet everything “hello everyone. Merry Christmas. Thank you for invi-” however he got cut off by a woman welking into the room and saying “oh shut up with the pureblood training, Draco. No one here cares about that stuff” the woman says before turning to Sirius black and saying “Sorry I'm late Uncle Sirius. Celine’s family threw a big party last night for Christmas” before sitting on the arm of the chair next to the woman Draco and Apollo couldn’t recognise. The woman had light blonde hair that flowered just past her shoulders and light blue eyes. She was wearing a black shirt that had no sleeves that was tucked into black jeans. She also had black boots on. On her left arm was the dark mark that had been covered up with a bunch of tattooed flowers.
“SERAN! WHAT .... what are you doing here? What did you do to the....”
“To the dark mark? Uncle Sirius helped me cover it up with tattoos.”
“How are you here though? He...”
“Oh, Morana here worked out I was under the impro curse. Got uncle Sirius here to save me and now I’m free.”
“that’s....”
“I’m missed you to little bro.”
The room quickly fell into an awkward silence as the two death eaters rubbed their arms where the death eater mark was. Suddenly Lily stood up “Draco, Apollo would you be a dear and help me and James in the kitchen please?” James goes to complain but with the look Lily gave him, he quickly stood up and said, “yeah would ya.” The two boys nodded and quickly followed the couple to the kitchen.
“I’m more of a party boi then a coo-”
“Sit down boys.... not you James”
Draco and Apollo quickly sit down and look up at the scary red head.
“Coats and Jumpers off. And give me your arms”.
The boys try to argue but Lily gave them a look and they quickly did she says.
“Take the bangers off their restricting your blood flow and took off the glamour”
They look down to the floor as the bandages and glamour is removed. Noise was heard around them and suddenly James and Lily were nearly in front of them.
“Boys look at me”
They quickly do so.
“Seran doesn’t have any memories of you two getting the mark, but she said you might have got it. I had to check. She also told me, Apollo, that you are the son of he who must not be named. Is this correct?”
“yes”
“Okay. please tell me honestly, both of you, did you want the mark?”
“No Mrs” / “fuck no. I never wanted to be his fucking heir or one of fucking death eaters”
“Okay thank you boys. Now heres what we are going to do. You two are either going to move in here or with your uncle Sirius and his family. You aren’t going to do anything else for him. You are going to be the happy children you are meant to be. Do you understand?”
“Yes Mrs. Thank you Mrs” / “I can’t”
“Abd why on earth can’t you, Apollo? Why can’t you leave the guy who is trying to kill your boyfriend?”
“Because I made a deal with Dumbledore”
“You what?!”
“I made a deal with Dumbledore that if he protected my sister, I would be a spy for him. Be a death eater. Give him any information. Realise the prisoners”
“That son of a..... ok here’s a new deal. You stay here. You stay safe and free. Your sister will stay here too, and we’ll protect her”
“Thank you”
“you’re welcome. Where is your sister now?”
“At her boyfriend’s house. Neville Longbottom”
“Thank you, now both of you go tell Harry everything”
“Yes Mrs”
The boys get up and quickly run off but as they do Apollo yells “she’s scarier than my dad”
“I HEARD THAT”
The rest of the day was spent by partying, eating Christmas food, writing letters to Cassie, exchanging presents and telling Harry everything. All and all it was an amazing day and the best Christmas, Draco and Apollo ever had.
