Draco-

"Draco! Draco!" Someone was shouting, I stiffened my muscles tensing in the shower. I wasn't excepting guests, so who the hell is in my flat right now. I turned the water off and wrapped a towel around my waist. I stepped into my room, thankful that my bathroom and bedroom were connected. I threw on a pair of grey sweatpants and grabbed my wand. My hair was still dripping wet, I could feel the water sliding down my back and chest, leaving a trail of goosebumps in its wake.

I raised my wand, put my hand on the doorknob, I could hear him, right outside my bedroom door. I threw the door opened, shoving my wand in their face.

"Merlin Draco, calm down." Michael said, I let out a relived breath, dropping my arm.

"Why didn't you tell me you were here? I thought someone broke into my flat." I hissed, as my bathroom door open, Will walked out rubbing his wet hands on his jeans.

"Uncle Draco! Where's your shirt? Mummy says you have to wear your shirt at home, or you'll get cold."

"I'm sorry you're right, you guys go make yourselves at home, I'll be right out." I said, Will nodded, before they both walked back to my living room. I used a towel to dry the rest of my hair, before putting on a black sweater, it was only September, but I was freezing. When I got to my living room, Michael and Will were eating a bag of muggle chips I liked, usually I would have yelled at Michael but since Will was eating it, I didn't care.

"So why did you break into my house?" I asked sitting down on my recliner chair. Michael sat up, whipping his orange finger tips on a tissue, his face becoming serious.

"I came here on business. You do know how someone tried to kill Princess Madeline."

"That was scary," Will whispered,

"It turns out the threat might not still be present, there's people that might be coming after her." I looked down feeling my heart sinking into my chest, my muscles tense just at the thought of someone coming to try and kill Madeline. I ran a hand through my hair, clearing my throat.

"Why are you bringing this to me?" Michael pursed his lips looking down at his hands.

"This is the awkward part. The King wants you to be her bodyguard, just until the threat is gone." I shook my head scoffing.

"First he makes her end things with me, and now he wants me come save them?" I asked, leaning back in my chair.

"I know it's an awkward situation, but you are the best, and he even admits it. He's whiling to pay you double your salary."

"It's not about the money! It's about how ridiculous he is." Michael shrugged, resting his elbows on his knees. Will looked at his dad and did the same making me the chuckle.

"I know he is." Michael signed; I looked down at my hands. King William was another reason why my life turned out like this. He took away the only girl I've ever loved right after I had to serve Voldemort and go through a whole war. Now he comes back asking me to protect her and be forced to watch her fall in love with Prince of Scotland. Does he really have no care about how I might feel or how Madeline might feel?

"You still care about her, don't you? I've seen you two talking recently Draco." Will leaned towards his dad.

"Dad, are we talking about Princess Madeline?" He whispered,

"Yes," Michael whispered back not taking his eyes off me.

"Was Uncle Draco and the Princess in love? Like you and Mummy?"

"Can we talk about this later?" Michael asked, Will pouted but nodded.

"Fine,"

"Anyway Draco, you still care about her right?" He asked, I signed and grudgingly nodded. My brother knows me to well to when I lied and didn't.
