"I'm Draco!" He said excited.

"Harry!" He said equally as excited.

Draco grabbed him and pulled him away to go and play.

Chapter 5: Preparations

While the boys were playing in Draco's room Lucius was ordering supplies for a second child's bedroom to be set up in the family wing of the manor. Narcissa was sitting in the kitchen organizing and timing out everything for Draco and Hadrian's party. Making adjustments accordingly.

"Dear are you sure Hadrian isn't too close to harry's real name?" Cissy asked as she scribbled something down.

"We already agreed to call him Hadrian Lucius Malfoy since they are supposed to be twins. Besides you can't make Harry sound anymore pure blood than that...." Lucius replied.

"I know but what if they find out who he is and take him? He clearly ran for good reason." Cissy said concerned.

Lucius went behind his wife and rubbed her shoulders in comforting circles. "Cissy all will be fine, besides we are going to be blood adopting the boy. He will legally be ours, and he has Draco to protect him." Lucius soothed.

Cissy sighed. "I suppose your right...." she said scribbling on the papers again. She signed each paper before shoving them in a folder and handing it over to her husband.

"Let's go say goodnight to the boys." Lucius said taking the folder and walking away.

Cissy got up and followed behind running past him with a big smile as she spotted Draco's room. She opened the door to find both boys asleep on the floor in front of a big pile of Draco's toys. Lucius walked over and picked both boys up. He walked over to the bed to put them down but only got half way, when harry got startled awake and starting fighting Lucius' hold on him. Lucius had to put Draco down in fear of dropping him.

"Harry, calm down! It's just me!" Lucius said holding the struggling boy in front of him.

Harry stopped for a second to look at who was holding onto him. He had tears come to his eyes as he buried his head into Lucius' chest.
A shocked Lucius put his hand on the boys head and looked to his wife before mouthing 'help'. Narcissa walked over and took the boy from him and sat on Draco's bed while Lucius brought Draco over and tucked him in. She cradled the boy to her and spoke softly to calmly him down.

"Hadrian it's okay, we won't hurt you. No one is gonna hurt you. The bad people are gone now." She said as she rocked him slightly.

Harry just nodded before closing his eyes again. Narcissa tucked him in beside Draco and kissed both boys on the forehead. 'That has always worked in Draco when he had a nightmare' she thought. She stopped to stare when she noticed the small scar on his forehead. 

"Lucius harry has a scar..do you think the potters did it.." she whispered.

The elder Malfoy walked over to see and shook his head. "That must be from the night the dark lord attacked the potters." Lucius replied.

"I thought the other potter child was the prophecy child?" Cissa said a little louder.

"It appears not....we can ask him tomorrow, let him sleep." Lucius whispered.

Harry subconsciously smirked but no on saw him do it. The two elder Malfoy's turned away as they gave one last look toward the two nine year old children before softly closing the door and heading into Lucius' study. Lucius sat at his desk to finish the papers cissa had handed to him, while the other elder Malfoy sat on a day bed they used as a sitting couch.

"If we keep harry out of sight for the day tomorrow and get the blood adoption finished in time, could we take the boys out for their birthday?" Cissa asked.

"That sounds like a lovely idea, and it's a chance to let Harry do something fun." Lucius replied as he scribbled onto a parchment.

"I'll start planning tomorrow and w-" narcissa stopped as Lucius held his hand up.

"Why don't we let the boys decide? Give Harry a choice, and some freedom. It'll be good for him to learn." Lucius added signing his last parchment.

"Your right, the party can be planned but the boys time out shouldn't be. Let them choose and have some fun together. Good idea Lucius." Cissa said.

"We have to get some presents for harry tomorrow. We have all of Draco's. The boys can stay here with the house elves and play with their toys. I'm sure Draco will probably show harry how to fly a broom and teach him how to play quidditch. We both know how much he loves that sport. I'm sure Harry will like it too." Lucius said.

Cissa perked up at the sound of shopping. She, like most pureblood's, loved to shop and spend money. She was also worried about harry. She didn't want him flying without an adult around, the first time Draco had done it he fell and she had fussed over him for weeks before Draco threw a fit. He didn't like to be coddled. Her worries soon disappeared however as she fell asleep. Lucius put the file away and picked up his wife, who seemingly fell asleep.

**** ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *****  

The next morning proved to be tiresome. Draco wanted to go outside and play with harry, but he was still asleep. Neither adult wanted to wake the boy as it was clear he never got much to begin with. After a while Draco just huffed and went outside to play with his trainers broom. When Draco came back in his parents were having lunch so he sat down to join them. Draco didn't get to enjoy it very long as all three jumped at the sound of a loud thump coming from upstairs.

"HARRY!?" Cissa yelled as she bolted from her seat toward the stairs.

The other two Malfoy's were quick to follow, although Draco was running far faster. Draco being the first to arrive slammed his bedroom door open and ran over to the bundle that lay on the floor. His parents entered soon after. The three look at the boy and Cissa noticed his hand was over his scar almost as if he was in pain. He bent down and removed his hand before making him look into her worried eyes.

"Harry are you alright?" Came the whispered question of concern.

Harry sat up with a yawn and nodded his head. Before replying softly. "Nightmares...."

Draco ran and tackled him into a big hug. He was upset when harry pried him off but quickly got over it and began to drag the boy down to lunch. One of the house elves brought Harry his food and popped away. Harry quietly ate his food although it wasn't much.

"Harry is something wrong?" Cissa asked.

He shook his head. Before quietly saying, "Not hungry."

"It's okay if you aren't hungry dear. Why don't you and Draco go play? Lucius and I have a few errands to run anyway." Cissa replied.

Harry just nodded before being grabbed by his eager brother. The two elder Malfoy's laughed at how cute it was and then quickly left for diagon alley. Lucius went to the quidditch shop first to get another training broom for harry.

"Welcome mister Malfoy is there anything I can get for you today?" The shop keeper asked eagerly.

"I require a new training broom and a new set of quidditch gear in child size." Lucius replied.

"Did Draco break his already?" The shop keeper said astonished.

"No, they are for my second child." Lucius said in a stop asking questions tone before paying for the items.
