This is not a drill, this is not an April Fools joke. I'm back y'all! I had an itch to write this for our favorite family. I do have several other little pieces to add to his chapter. I'm not promising a full story of anything of the sort. There might be a few one-shots that are a few chapters long, but I don't know how long I'll make this story. There is no timeline of updates, I don't even have concrete ideas for this but everything will flow accordingly. Having said that, do not fear, there will be more from your favorite family.

Note: If you have not read "My Dear Dragon", I highly suggest you do. Most of what happened in the previous will be touched on in this one, and I'm not one for doing complete restatements in a new story.

Memere - is pronounced "me-ma".

Authors Note: I do not own Harry Potter, that all goes to the lovely J.K Rowling. Anything that is not recognized from the books, movies, or just general knowledge is mine all mine.


"ARIES!" She shouted as she fell face first into the lake. The water was not all that cold, but it was the principle of the matter. Gathering her bearings, Aria pushed her way to the surface. When her head broke the surface, she took a deep breathe and turned to the shore. "I swear to Merlin I am going to kill you Aries Lucius Malfoy!" She swam to the sandy beach, when she caught her footing; Aria pushed down on the muddy sand and began her trudge to her friends.

"Oh come on Ar, it wasn't that terrible." Aries laughed from his place beside his cousins. Hugo was rolling around on the ground as Al snickered. Aria shot a glare her twins' way as she pulled her wet hair away from her face. She stomped towards her bag and pulled her wand from its side pocket. With a wave of her wand, she felt a soft warm tingle over her body as it began drying.

It was a surprisingly warm day for it being the spring. Every student was either by the lake or somewhere outside the castle. They were no different. The four of them decided to take a day off from studying and enjoy the day. They gathered up a large quilt that their grandmother had made for Aria when she complained how drafty it was in the Slytherin dorms. Hugo and Aries managed to grab from food from the kitchens and Al went to find them a spot before the shore got too full of other students who seemed to have the exact same idea.

"Well looks like we're not the only slackers in the family."

The four turned their heads to see Roxanne and Rose behind them. "Well hello there!" Aries shouted as he fake tipped his hat. "And how are you lovely ladies today?"

Roxanne rolled her eyes and she plopped down next to her cousin. Rose eased down next to Aries as Roxanne took an apple from Hugo. "Hey, have any of you heard how Vicky's doing? She's gonna pop any day now." Al asked.

"Naw, mom says that she's got another month to go before the baby gets here." Aries commented. His aunt was in the final stages of her pregnancy with Teddy's baby.

"So, is the baby gonna be your cousin or your uncle?" Both Aria and Aries shot Rose a dirty look. Yes, it was a little weird that their aunt was marrying their cousin, albeit that Teddy was like their third cousin or something like that. "He's still just going to be our cousin." Aria shot back.

"Oh please, like it's the first time the Blacks have dipped their hand into the Weasley honey pot. I mean come on, we are related to Draco in some off way, like his third uncle is our seventh cousin or some shit like that." Roxanne added as she laid back on the quilt with her hands behind her head.

"So does that mean that Aria and Aries are even more screwed than we are?" Al asked.

"Well little cousin, I'm going to have to say yes."

Aries threw a piece of banana at his older cousin. "Ass."

"Oh looky here boys, if it isn't the shame of the entire wizarding world."

"Go away Crowley." Aria shouted, not even bothering to turn around. Crowley Fletcher was possibly the worst person on the face of the Earth. He swore he was God's gift on Earth and that everyone should bow and obey him.

"Seriously, don't you have to go look in a mirror."

"Well, when you look this good, it's hard not to my dear." Crowley winked at Rose.

"Oh god." Aria muttered under her breath and rolled her eyes.

Crowley smirked and walked closer to Aria. "You know it love it when you say that." He ran his finger down her bare arm.

"Back off Fletcher." Aries growled as he stood up from the quilt.

"Oh?" Crowley turned to him, "and what exactly are you going to do if I don't?"

"The little lion is actually a lamb." One of Crowley's cronies sneered from the back.

"Come on Crowley, let's just go. I'd rather not deal with Scorpius with week just because you're an idiot who don't now when to quit."

"Oh please Tyler, and what is that bastard going to do?"

"Hey!" Aries and Aria shouted.

"You know, I actually heard that he slept with your mother once. I mean, how can he not? She is one fine piece of ass." Avery snickered.

By that point, everyone was standing and glaring at the group in front of them. Aries walked up to Avery, who had a good foot on the short sixth year. "What was that Avery?"

"Oh, did it I not enunciate enough for that little brain of yours to understand? Fine, let me reiterate. I would absolutely love nothing more to see her down on her…." Avery did not have a chance to finish his sentence before Avery sent a right hook to his face.


Scorpius was sitting in the courtyard, his nose shoved in a book as he sprawled out on top of a bench. His quiet was soon disrupted when a group of students ran past him, then another, and another.

He sat up and saw everyone heading in the direction of the lake. Most of the student body was out there today enjoying the weather. "Hey!" He shouted at a first year. The small girl looked up at him, "What's going on?"

"There's a huge fight going on down by the lake. Apparently it's a large group of Slytherins and Gryffindors." She answered before she took off again. Scorpius shook his head and went back to his book. It was nothing new for those two houses to get into some sort of brawl.

Not even a minute had passed before Millie Smith came running up to him. "You haven't heard yet!" She shouted at him as she started pulling on his shirt.

"About the fight, yeah."

"Oh…" Millie stopped her tugging, "so you know that your brother his getting his ass kicked by a couple of older students?"

Scorpius peeked over the top of his book, "what?"

He grabbed Millie's hand and raced down to the shore. He ran past the younger students and towards the large crowd that was gathering. He pushed his way through to the front to see his family in the middle of an all out brawl. Aries was currently walloping on Crowley with Rose and Roxanne trying to pry him off, Aria had Avery in a headlock as he tried to pull her down. Al and Hugo were barely fending off the attacks of two other boys.

"That's enough!" He shouted as he grabbed Aries by his shoulders and pulled away from his victim. Aria looked up to her older brother trying to calm down her twin and let go of Avery. The others stopped their assault and turned towards them. "Aries calm down!" Scorpius had his little brother in a light chokehold, trying to keep him from attacking the boy again.

Crowley stood up from the ground and wiped the blood from his nose. "You just wait Malfoy, this isn't over."

"What is going on here?" A deep voice came out among the crowd. Everyone turned to see where the voice was coming from, but could see nothing. A fourth year shrieked and jumped against the person next to her. "I won't ask again, what is going on?" It was feint, but Scorpius could make the ghostly shape of Severus Snape.

"Shit." He muttered under his breath.

"Professor Snape." Aria finally made out the figure.

"Miss Malfoy, I assume there's an explanation for this."

"He just attacked me Professor, I was simply defending myself." Crowley pleaded with their potions master.

"You're full of shit." Aries shouted as he shoved Scorpius off him.

"Mr. Malfoy, if I were you I'd refrain." Even though they couldn't see it, they could feel the glare the ghost was sending their way. "All of you follow me. Everyone else, don't you have studying to do?" Everyone that was watching the fight quickly grabbed their things and ran in all different directions.


Draco and Tori walked towards Hogwarts with a quick pace. They both received an owl from McGonagall to come straight to the school in matters of their children. "What do you supposed happened?" Tori looked at her husband.

"I'm not sure, but if all three of our kids are involved, then it probably can't be good."

"Great." Tori mumbled as they came to the gates. Both shocked when they saw others waiting there also.

"What are you lot doing here?" Ron asked when he saw the duo walking up to them.

"Probably the same we are Ronald." Hermione huffed.

Harry and George tried to contain their laughter while their wives just glared at them.

"It's wasn't my fault! I swear it Mother." Everyone turned towards the gates and Filch was escorting another group of people off the grounds.

"Priscilla?" Draco stared at the dark haired woman.

"Mr. Malfoy, I am so sorry for all of this and just know that Avery here is going to receive his just punishment."

Tori raised an eyebrow at the woman and stared at her husband.

"Yes, suck up to the man whose son possibly permanently disfigured my son."

"Be quiet Cassiopeia."

"Archie, what the hell is going on?" Ron asked his fellow Auror.

"I think it would be best if you let McGonagall explain it all. Now if you'll excuse us, we need to go." Archie grabbed his son by his arm, rather roughly, and dragged the boy away and his wife just stared down Tori and Draco.

As the group was out of sight, Filch motioned for all of them to follow. "Well, this can't be good." Harry commented.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS? I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU!" Aries and Aria simply shrunk down in their seats as their mother screamed at them. Their father did not look amused either.

"But mom, if you only knew what he was saying!" Aries shouted.

"I don't care; you don't EVER put your hands on another person, no matter what the reason may be."

"I have to agree with your mother on this one." He subconsciously rubbed his nose, earning a laugh from the Golden Trio across the room.

"Given the circumstances of things, I'm afraid that all students involved in the incident are being suspended." McGonagall stared at the family from behind her desk. "Three weeks of suspension and no work may be made up from those periods."

"You're joking?" Roxanne shouted, "I have N.E.W.T'S in two weeks!"

"I have O.W.L's coming too! I can't miss any classes!" Hugo agreed with his cousin.

Hermione put a hand her on her sons shoulder, "Surely Headmistress, there's something that can be done to prevent this."

McGonagall pulled her glasses of her face and interlocked her hands. "Mrs. Weasley, I have just spent the better part of this afternoon keeping your children in this school. The other parents were just as upset as you are, however two of their children were injured in this and they were ready to press charges. So no, there is nothing that can be done. Given the circumstances of the end of the year exams, any student taking said exams would be allowed to take the exam from their homes. A proctor from the Ministry will owl you with any further information and instructions." She picked her glasses up and placed them on her face. "Now if you'll excuse me, other things need my attention. You six have on hour to gather your things and then you'll be escorted off the grounds."

The group all stood and made their way out of her office. "We'll wait for you by the entrance." Harry told his son and Al nodded his head and walked towards the Gryffindor common room. Ron and George nodded to their children, Hugo followed after Al while Roxanne turned towards the Ravenclaw dormitory.

"You two have twenty minutes to get your things." Draco look at the twins and both just nodded their heads. Aries followed after Roxanne and Aria made her way downstairs.

"Dad!" Everyone turned to see James and Scorpius coming their way. "I just heard what happened, is Al okay?"

"Your bothers fine, he and everyone else are on a three week suspension, but fine." Harry told his son as they all made their way towards the entrance to wait for their children.

Scorpius fell into step with his father and stepmother. "So, I got an owl from Mom."

Draco groaned as he ran rubbed his forehead. "What now."

"Well, since I broke up the fight, I was called into the office and Professor McGonagall sent an owl to her and she's not too happy."

"Great." Tori mumbled as she walked away from the two and over to Hermione and Ginny.

Scorpius knew that things between his mother and stepmother were never okay. They always fought about something or other, most of the time it was over him. Tori wanted to throw him a birthday party, his mother would shoot her down. He would get into trouble with his siblings and it would just turn into an all out war over parenting skills. It was like the two were just determined to never get along.

Minutes went by as they all waited on the kids. Al was the first to show up and Harry and Ginny left with him in tow. Rose and Aria were next, followed by Hugo, then Roxanne. Everyone had left with the exception of the Malfoys. Aries had yet to show up and Draco was becoming increasingly irritated.

"What could possibly taking that boy so long?"

"He's probably making out with the awful hag." Aria told her parents.

"What…who…wha?" Tori stuttered as she looked at her daughter. Her son was only thirteen, way to young to be kissing anyone.

"Yeah, he's had this off and on thing with this complete and utter hag."

"Come on Ar, she's not that bad."

"Not that bad! She put snakes in my bed! Not to mention the blast-ended skrewrt business."

"Yeah, but you're eyebrows eventually grew back in." Aries laughed as he joined up with this family. A single pack was on his back as he walked up to them.

"That's not the point Aries!" Aria shouted at her twin as she smacked his arm with her book.

"Well I better get going; I have a study group I need to lead." Scorpius gave his little sister and Tori a hug and shook his fathers' hand.

"See you later." He ruffled Aries hair.

"Yeah yeah, whatever." Aries shook Scorpius off him and walked towards his father. The exchange didn't go unnoticed from either adult, but Scorpius simply sighed and walked away.

"Let's go." Draco commanded and walked out the castle doors.

"Oh great, he's sounding like Gramps."

Tori threw an unamused look at her son and followed after her husband.

"Why do you always do that?"

"Do what?" Aries asked slightly angry.

"You dismiss Scorpius like it's no problem and crack jokes whenever Dad is pissed."

"Well for starters, Dad is not going to do anything. I'm really looking forward to this three week vacation." He grinned and Aria just glared at him. "As for Scorpius, why should I like him?"

"Because he's our brother Aries."

"No, he's the son of someone that Dad knocked up a long time ago. That doesn't make him our brother." Aries told his sister as he followed after is parents.

Aria shook her head at her brother; since they started school, he and Scorpius might as well not even know each other. Nothing about it made sense. Sure they had different mothers and they didn't live together and Scorpius was in a completely different house than Aries, but they were still family. Weren't they?


Aries walked into the kitchen with a loud yawn. Not paying much attention, he sat down at the table and began grabbing what was ever insight to eat. When they got back home, his father lit into him. There was a screaming match that could be heard all throughout the house. Finally, Tori came in and told the two to calm down and sent Aries to his room. Most of the argument had been about what happened at school and how he let Aria get involved. Then the whole thing transferred over to his actions towards Scorpius, which opened a whole other can of worms.

"Nice to see you so awake." Aries paused scraping his jam onto his toast and looked down the table to see his grandfather staring at him.

"Grandpa, I didn't see you."

Lucius didn't say a word but instead went back to his paper. While his father did scare him a little, his grandfather was a completely different story. Lucius Malfoy put the fear of God in him. There are few people in this world that Aries was scared of, but his grandparents on the list of people that he is absolutely terrified of. Lucius being at the top of the list.

"You decided to grace us with your presence I see." His mother commented as she walked into the kitchen with Augustus trailing behind her. His little brother ran straight to his chair and claimed up on it.

"Hi Grandpa!" He beamed at his grandfather. Lucius smiled at his youngest grandchild and went back to his paper.

Aria was not far behind the bunch with Narcissa with her. The pair joined them at the table and began gathering their plates. Aria just glared at her brother as she stabbed into her pancakes.

"Am I missing something?" Aries asked as he filled his glass with orange juice.

"Oh shut up." Aria stabbed her pancakes again and shoved them into her mouth.

"Aria we talked about this."

"Yes grandmother, I'm sorry."

Aries was now even more confused. They never used formal names for their grandparents, ever. It has always been Gramps and Nana for their parental grandparents, and Pappy and Memere for their maternal grandparents.

"Your father and I discussed your punishment last night and we came to an agreement."

Aries and Aria looked over at their mother with terrified looks; their punishments were never good, never.

"Aria, under Narcissa's supervision you will be attending a grammar school." Aries snickered under his breath; Narcissa had been trying to get Aria to be a lady since she was born.

"Aries, you will be spending the entire three weeks with your grandparents. Cilly is packing your things as we speak."

"HA!" Aria laughed at her brother.

"Aria." Narcissa scolded her granddaughter.

"Three weeks with Gramps and Nana?" Aries squeaked out.

"Yes, and while your grandmother is with Aria, you will be spending your time with me. You are definitely old enough now to learn the responsibilities of this family. We'll be spending time my advisors and not to mentions the family accountants. You'll also accompany me to the various foundations and charities that this family runs."

"But…"

"Aria, you are also of age now. After your schooling, you will meet with potential suitors and once a formal contract has been drawn up, we'll begin the process of your courting." Narcissa dabbed her lip as she laid out her granddaughters' time.

"Suitors, courting? I'm not even old enough to start dating! Dad won't let me."

"Yeah! I'm not old enough to start taking over the family business! Besides, shouldn't you be training Scorpius, not me?"

"On the contrary, we have spoken on these matters at great length and we are all in agreement that Aria is to marry a well respected member of society and Aries, you will begin your training." Lucius folded his paper and placed it on the table. Taking a sip of his tea, he looked between both his grandchildren.

The kitchen door opened again and Draco came walking in with a stack of papers in his arms. "Have you told them yet?"

"We just finished dear." Narcissa stirred her tea as her son placed the stack of papers on the table.

"Perfect. Aries this is a list of all accounts that this family is in charge of. You need to have them memorized before the end of next week."

The twins stared wide eyed at their family. All this over a measly fight, well not a measly fight. This is probably the most trouble they've ever been in, but this was taking it to the extreme.

"Do you have any comments on this Gus?" Draco looked at his. "If Aries can't perform his duties, it'll be up to you to take on the family business."

"Hmm." Gus grabbed his chin and looked deep in thought. "Well Daddy, I have one thing to say."

"What is it honey?"

Gus looked at his older siblings, a Cheshire grin on his face. "APRIL FOOLS!"

"Huh…." Both Aries and Aria looked between their parents and grandparents. Tori was the first to break and started laughing. Draco soon followed as Narcissa started giggling. Lucius just smirked and picked his paper up again.

"Wait! So all of that was a joke?" Aria shouted.

"Of course it was." Tori said in-between laughs. "You didn't really think any of that was actually happening?"

"So I'm not taking over the family business?"

"I'm not getting married."

"No. No one is taking over any family matters and no is getting married."

"But the three weeks at Gramps house and the grammar school." Aria stared at her parents.

"Oh, those are still happening, but no further than that." Draco added as he stopped laughing.

"What you two did was certainly unacceptable, so you are still being punished for it. I have to head to Romania this week and your father has his clinical trials, we cannot be home to make sure you two don't cause any trouble during this suspension. Gus will be staying with Mrs. Cuthbert while your father is at work. So you two are staying your Lucius and Narcissa until I get back from Romania."

Aries went to interject but was shot down by one look from Lucius. Aria slumped down in her chair and poked at her pancakes. "Now, I suggest you two head up to your rooms and get your things together. After breakfast, you will be leaving." Draco told his children and pointed waved them to the door.

The duo stood up and walked away. Outside the door, they could hear Aria yelling at Aries, saying that it was his entire fault, that he never should have picked a fight with Crowley and Avery. Their voices drowned out as they moved further from the kitchen causing everyone to start laughing again.


Please please please, follow this story to receive any updates on when I post new chapters. Like I said before, I have no specific timeline for this. I'm back in school, and it's honestly kicking my ass. (three year time lapses are no fun). I am also fiddling around with other stories right now, but I just had the need to get this out today. Hope your enjoyed and stay tuned for more!
