Five years had passed since that night and Chance was now a fifth year Slytherin with passwords to all the houses and the only person to ever achieve friends in all houses and finally dissolve the house rivalry. Sure every now and again a prank war would ensue but no one ever tried to actually physically or verbally hurt someone and it was all thanks to a little boy who couldn't speak and was wise beyond his years, but acted like that of a child. Plus it was found out that Professor Snape was one of the best pranksters in the world to have on your side, which made for many eventful pranks between him and his husband.
Chance giggled silently with his friends and was writing furiously on a pad of paper at dinner in the Great Hall when the doors suddenly flew open and beautiful cello music filled the music as well as the voice of an angel. The whole Hall quieted and many closed their eyes to listen and just be drawn in by the music. Out of the music came a swirl of rainbow colored lights that glittered and surrounded a floating figure.
The figure had beautiful blond hair, almost white with pale white skin and was playing on a white Cello with a black rose engraved on it. His hands were large and moving over the strings with grace only someone who had been playing for years could have, as he slowly played and sang his song he floated to the front of the hall on what seemed like only air and landed just in front of Headmistress McGonagall's and Professor Riddle's chair before standing and bowing slightly with a smirk that could knock the gods dead in place.
"Good evening Madam, I was told to enter the Hall tonight, I hope you don't mind I figured I'd show off just a little of the only thing the teachers at my old school were good at teaching." The young man said, with the voice of an angel.
The headmistress grinned a very proud grin and nodded. "Of course Mr. Malfoy, that was quite an entrance. I am very happy to have you here though you are a bit early. I hadn't yet made the announcement of our transfer student," she said with a bit of a laugh.
Everyone stared at Draco as if he had just announced he was he prince from a different planet come to marry every women on earth. Transfer student? No one ever transferred schools, at least not in any record the students knew of.
Professor Riddle stood and chuckled before putting his wand to his throat and saying, "Alright everyone don't get your knickers in a twist. Yes we have a new 5th year student transferring in today. This is Draco Malfoy and he will be finishing off his school year here as he did not like the school he was previously at."
You see after Tom Riddle had been cleared of being the dark lord, he came to work at Hogwarts under his favorite professor, now headmaster. It was he who taught singing and dueling and it was also he who helped with some of the best pranks in the whole School. He also took on any students who had a form of beast speak or Parseltongue, but on top of all of this he also had one very important role that topped all of them. He was Chance and Zayden's Godfather.
Draco smiled at the intro and turned, then bowed low to the crowd. "It's a pleasure to be at a school that focuses more on the magic behind the music, instead of what you are going to wear the next day," he said with a teasing grin on his face, making half the hall swoon. Mainly the female half with a few males mixed in and a set of twins roll their eyes.
The Headmistress gave a girlish giggle and pulled out the Sorting hat and offered it to the new student, before hearing a voice call out, "This isn't allowed. It says so in Hogwarts a History."
The voice was a snooty know it all, I'm better than you at everything voice and could only belong to one person. The garish Gryffindor Hermione Granger. A young muggleborn with an attitude that could make anyone hate her. She had frizzy brown hair that even she couldn't tame and still referred to Chance as Harry, just because she knew it hurt and scared him.
Beside her stood two even more garish young Gryffindor, Ronald and Ginevra Weasley. It had been found out that a marriage contract had been set up with both of those to Harry Potter depending on his preferences and had been paid 100,000 galleons in advance for a year in school being friends with Chance; though just after Dumbledor was kissed the contracts had been nullified and money taken back.
For a while Ron had tried to play it off as he didn't know and Chance had given him the benefit of the doubt, only to be used yet again. Ever since then Ron had hated Chance and Ginny even worse so they tried everything they could to discredit him and make his life a living hell.
"Ms. Granger what are you referring to?" Professor Riddle asked, not to happy with her tone and just plain not liking her.
"He can't join Hogwarts as he wasn't on the list during the first school year. A student who wasn't on the list is not allowed into the school under any circumstances." She quoted with an "I am holier than thou' voice.
"Well as you having seen the list I guess I shall have to inform you. Mr. Malfoy's name has been on the list since before he was born and he has more right to be here then you. You were only accepted as there was extra space." Professor Snape said, with his signature glare.
Hermione stared at the professors for a second in disbelieve then took off out of the hall with tears in her eyes.
"I apologize for that Mr. Malfoy but not all of the students are as polite as they should be. Now on with the sorting," Professor Riddle said with a smile and plopped the hat onto the young boys head, which caused a bit of a laugh to come from the hat.
"Well now that my ride is over let's have a look. Hmm yes you are very loyal but only when your trust is earned, you like to learn but you are in no way devoted to learning for learning's sake and I can see that Griffindor is just a no so.."
"Slytherin!" the hat shouted with a grin, before whispering into Draco's head. "The young mute one; he will be someone you will have to work to get to trust you."
Draco took the hat off with a curious look in his eye. "The mute one? Was there someone here who couldn't speak? How did he do magic?" were the questions that ran through Draco's head as he gently put his Cello away and with a wave of his hand it whooshed down to his new room and onto his bed.
Chance smiled at his friends before quickly writing,"I'm going to go introduce myself and welcome him. Since I'm in his house I'm going to offer to show him around." and gave his friends an adorable smile.
Just then another commotion was heard as the twins stood and started to play Entertainer to get everyone's attention and once everyone was staring, they linked arms and grinned. "We would like to be resorted," they announced and moved to the front of the hall.
The Headmistress laughed and nodded handing the hat over, which expanded itself to fit on both heads for two seconds before shouting out. "Slytherin!"
Chance was half way to his table when he heard this and was now frozen in the middle of the walk staring at the twins with wide eyes. His friends were going to be with him always now?
The twins saw the way he was imitating a fish and quickly hopped down and ran to him, both picking up half of him and running out of the great hall and to a corridor hidden from the others, gently checking him everywhere for injuries.
"Chance please tell us what's wrong," pleaded Fred worried about his none blood brother.
"Your gonna be with me all the time now?" Chance wrote with a hopeful look in his teared up eyes.
"But of course little brother. What sort of guardians would we be if we didn't do that." They asked with a smile as Fred put Chance on his back and piggy backed him back to the great hall, then sat him down next to Draco, for they knew he wanted to greet the new boy.
Chance quickly started to write down what he wanted to say, when a pale hand touched his shoulder and he tensed up and slowly looked up at Draco.
Draco smiled reassuringly and then, in sign language, said, "You must be the one everyone speaks about. I'm Draco what's your name?"
Chance stared at the other boy in pure shock then grinned happily. "I'm Chance and yeah people kinda tend to talk about me. Both my dad's work here and since I can't talk I do magic differently though wordless spells are really easy." He then blushed darkly when he realized he was rambling and looked at Draco curiously. "How come you know sign language? Not even my dad's know it fully yet."
Draco chuckled and quickly signed back, "My younger sister was born deaf. She is only 7 now and I learned it right beside her."
Chance smiled and nodded his head before signing, "I'm sorry about the whole debacle with the twins, Fred and George are a little different. But my brother Zayden keeps them under lock. I still don't understand how that one works. Any who if ya like I'll show you around and take you down to the common room. Plus I know a few good spots to practice if you don't want people watching." He blushed darkly when he realized what he just signed and got a confused look on his face. He never did that for people. What made this one different?
He quickly shook it off and smiled when Draco nodded and stood. "I'd really like to get down to the common room and just relax for a bit, maybe play for a little while. I haven't really had the chance to just let myself go. Is there by chance a sound proof music room in the common room?" He asked out loud as he knew there were six sets of eyes on him and three would probably follow.
Chance smiled and stood next to him bowing slightly before nodding his head toward the door and to Zayden, Fred and George who had stood as soon as Chance had. Chance let out a silent giggle and rolled his eyes. He was 15 he didn't need babysitters but he wouldn't change those he thought of as family for anything.
Chance quietly escorted Draco out into the hall and down into the dungeons, then blushed darkly and signed over to Draco, "Now if only we could teach portraits sign language we would be good." Before he wrote down," Slytherin rule Gryffindor drool" and showed it to the portrait.
The twins laughed when they saw the password, which made Chance blush dark red as they both grinned duel evil Cheshire grins.
"That's right, we drool, but only when we are pleasuring our beautiful love." They said then both kissed each of Zayden's cheeks, who promptly turned crimson red.
"Do you guys have to do that to me?" he wined and glared at his twin boyfriends.
The twins just grinned identical grins and nodded, then followed the other two into the room. All four of the boys were happy to see Harry smiling and rolling his eyes at their antics. He then grabbed Draco's arm and pulled him to an empty music room.
"This is one of our music rooms. My papa makes sure his snakes have places to practice their music in peace." Chance signed to Draco with a smile.
"This is much better than anything at Beauxbatons. Chance you never did say, what do you play?" Draco signed back to the other boy with a curious look in his eyes.
"I sing and play piano and guitar." Chance said with a smile and a bit of a mischievous look in his eyes.
Draco got a confused look in his eyes and stared at the other confused. "Wait..I thought you couldn't talk.."Draco signed with the confused look still in his eyes.
"I can't. But if you'd like I'll show you how I can sing." Chance signed back with a smile on his face.
Draco quickly nodded his head, eyes still full of curiosity and sat next to the twins in the corner.
Chance grinned and pulled out his wand before slowly and silently chanting a spell that projected him and thought out in a voice that sounded sweeter then bells and more beautiful then the most talented singer in the world.
"Is it working alright?" he asked, in a voice that was entirely his own. You see all though Chance couldn't speak, him and his fathers had made a spell that allowed him to make a projection of himself that when he thought something it came out as his voice.
Zayden nodded and grinned. He loved hearing his brother's voice and he contedidly leaned back against Gred's chest while Forge laid his head in Zayden's.
Chance smiled and pulled a guitar out of the corner of the room and slowly tuned it, his projection sitting next to him. Once the guitar was tuned he started to strum it and smiled, then started to sing:
Just like it's snowing the summer time
Something's different and i can't explain it
Its like I'm breathing in sunshine
Its taking over and I cant contain it
This love is changing me
It brought me to my knees
Now it teaching me to fly
That how it feels to be with you
Its like I'm finally alive
That how it feels to be with you
To be with you
I always thought I was invincible
I never knew that i was waiting on a break through
My heart was always only half full
Until the moment that i finally found you
Its everything i dreamed
even more it seems
to fall into your arms
That how it feels to be with you
Its like I'm finally alive
That how it feels to be with you
To be with you
How it feels
My heart can't deny
How it feels
Cuz how it feels to be with you
Its like I'm finally alive
That how it feels...to...be...with...you
dynamite my heart can't deny
how it feels to be with you(to be with you)
I can never get enough(enough)
I can never get enough(enough)
I can never get enough(enough)
To be with you…
At the end of the song the projection started to go fuzzy then dimmed out and Chance blushed darkly and smiled. He set the guitar back down in the corner and smiled over at the others.
He quickly wrote out,"What did you think?" and showed it to Draco and the others.
All at once all four of them started to clap and cheer while the twins shouted "Encore!"
Chance blushed darkly and quickly wrote out,"Your turn Draco. I want to hear you play something." Then showed it to the blond teen.
Draco smiled and nodded his head, saying in his deep beautiful voice, "I'll gladly play something for you, though I doubt anything I play will come close to how beautifully you sing."
"Accio Draco's Cello." He said, after pulling his wand out and quickly caught his cello, making sure it came to no harm, then quickly tuned it up.
"Alright I'm going to play a song called Sparrow. It was composed by Adam Hurst, who is one of my favorite composers." He said with a smile before closing his eyes and slowly playing the song. He allowed his magic to span out while he played and the music flooded the room pulling at the heart strings of each one there with every pull of the bow. His magic slowly formed pictures in front of each of the people, showing each of them something different while at the same time, showing them the same thing, the chance of falling in love and keeping that love through everything.
Chance looked through the magic and watched Draco, a slight blush on his face. He wasn't sure what it was but there was something different about Draco. He actually understood the music and melded his magic with it. His entire time at Hogwarts he hadn't met many people who could do that and the way Draco did it pulled at his heart in a different way. It made him feel safe. Once the song came to a slow end, Draco opened his eyes and smiled sweetly at just Chance, locking eyes with the other for a brief moment before blushing and bruising himself with putting his Cello away.
Once that was done, Draco stood up and put his cello in the corner before walking over to the others and offering his hand to Chance. "Shall we head to the dorms?" he asked in his deep but hypnotic voice.
Chance nodded and slowly stood, though once up didn't notice that neither of them let go of their hands. Chance smiled and lead their little group to a dorm with five beds, though four were pushed together.
Chance blushed darkly and looked at Zayden, begging him silently with his eyes to explain why the beds were together to Draco.
"I hope you don't mind Draco, but as you can feel it gets cold down here even with the charms and since me and the twins are in a sort of triad and we all love Harry like a little brother, we kinda well sleep together. You can join us if you like, helps heat up the place, while at the same time makes us all feel..well protected," Zayden said softly, with a blush of his own.
The twins chuckled and rolled their eyes, before going to the chest at the end of one of the beds and pulling out identical blue pajamas, a pair of green ones and a pair of light purple, tossing the green to Zayden and the purple to Chance.
Chance smiled and blushed a royal dark red before running into the bathroom and quickly changing, opening the door just a crack and glaring at the twins for a second, before having a white shirt chucked at him. Chance then grinned and disappeared again, only to reappear a moment later with purple pajamas on and a white long tshirt on.
Draco smiled at all four of the males before him. "Well if I'm invited to join this, I'll gladly do so if I can be in the middle." He said with a cheeky grin. He then went to the end of the fifth bed, the one not connected to the others, and pulled out a pair of silver silk pajamas, changing with the other three boys as Chance stared at his lap on the bed, trying not to peek up through his eye lashes and stare at Draco's beautifully perfect pale white chest, and horribly failing at that.
Once all the boys were changed, the twins pushed Draco's bed in with theirs and Fred and George hopped on the bed, cuddling Zayden in between them sleepily, while each slinging an arm over Chance, which ended with Draco on the other side of Chance, falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, with Chance cuddled against him, Chance's head against his chest, fast asleep and dreaming of beautiful pale skin and mercury eyes.
