"Speech"

'Thoughts'

Tele-talk

After the feast, all four of the Malfoys stood in the Main hall saying their good-byes. The students filing out of the Great Hall stared as they passed.

"Now, Damion, Draco, We'll see you both in a few weeks for Christmas." Narcissa brushed Damion's hair out of his eyes and fixed Draco's already perfect collar.

"Yes, Mother."

"Yes, Mum."

"Both of you try to stay out of trouble. I don't want to get any letters from your teachers saying that your causing trouble." Lucius stated standing tall, looking down on his two sons.

"Yes, sir" The Twins stated together.

"Now, give me a hug, your Father and I have to be getting home." Narcissa held her arms out to her boys. Damion grinned and eagerly hugged his mother, Draco stepped into the hug reluctantly.

There was a set of 'Crack's announcing Dobby and Tink's arrival.

"Master Damion's trunk is being in his new dorm. We made sure that it was the bed near the wall, for the Young Master, next to his brother." Tink stated happily.

"Thank you Tink, Dobby." Damion smiled at the elf.

"Young Master is very welcome. Dobby will be looking after Young Masters while you are being here at school. Should I prepare a room for the Young Master for Christmas when we get home?" Tink asked eagerly.

Share my room for the Holidays? Draco asked looking at Damion.

You'd be willing to 'share'? With 'Me'? Damion asked in surprise. It wasn't like Draco to share anything.

Why not? We did share a crib. For a week anyway. Damion grinned and nodded slightly.

"No, Tink. Dami'll share my room for the holidays. We can set him up a room when we get home for the summer." Draco answered the elf. Tink squeaked excitedly, nodding her head.

"All right boys. We'll see you Christmas. Come Narcissa, the boys need to get to bed." Lucius started to turn toward the doors but was stopped by Damion wrapping his arms around him.

"Thanks, Dad. See you in a few weeks." Damion let go. He gave his Mum another hug and a kiss and made for the stares toward the dungeons and waited for Draco.

"Er- Good-bye, Father, Mother." Draco inclined his head toward them and followed his brother. He was a bit shocked when Damion had 'hugged' Lucius. In public. He had the feeling that his brother was going to turn their lives upside down. And he wasn't too certain he liked that idea.

The boys made their way down to the Slytherin common room each lost in their own thoughts. When they came to the stone snake protruding from the wall Damion snapped his fingers in front of Draco's face to pull him from his thoughts.

Draco blinked in surprise, "What? Oh. Arx Serpents." He led the way into the common room. The entire Slytherin house was sitting there waiting for them. Blaise, Pansy, Crabbe, and Goyle stepped forward.

"So it's true?" Pansy looked from one to the other.

"Your really Twins?" Blaise looked interested at the news. She was Draco's best friend so this news really caught her off guard.

"Apparently. I'm wiped, that little show of ours took a lot out of me. I'm wanna go to bed." He raised his eyebrow at his brother. Draco nodded toward the staircase to the boys dorms. "G'Night Dra." Damion made his way down the stairs and out of sight.

As soon as he was gone, Draco took a deep breathe and dropped into 'his' chair in front of the fire. His friends surrounding him. "Well. This has been one hell of a day. I find a Twin that I didn't know I had. We get along pretty well where the two of us are concerned. Yet..." Draco paused, not feeling right voicing his thoughts aloud.

"Yet, now you realize this is gonna be a big change?" Blaise finished his sentence.

"Well... Yeah." Draco looked at the floor. He was feeling a bit odd.

"When did this come on? I mean you seamed perfectly fitted with him when we saw you at dinner." Pansy looked at him confused.

"Well, It happened when we were saying good-bye to Mother and Father. I realized exactly how weird this is going to be. Were so different." He frowned, "He calls them Mum and Dad. He loves being babied by Mother. He HUGGED Father! In the front hall! In front of everyone. That's not normal for a Malfoy."

Blaise chuckled, "Well, he wasn't raised a Malfoy. I gotta say, even if he was I don't think he would be any different. A word of advice, don't let the differences get to you. Within time those differences will seem normal. Just be thankful he 'isn't' exactly like you." She chuckled again, "I don't think Hogwarts could take two Draco Malfoys." Everyone laughed at that, even Draco chuckled slightly.

"I suppose. But it's still going to take some adjusting. Now, I'll have to share everything. I'm not use to sharing my parents and to be honest I'm not sure I want to." Draco felt ashamed of himself for feeling this way. Damion was his brother, he needed family, yet Draco almost felt as though he was trespassing on his life.

"I understand, believe me. Your parents are expecting a lot of you. I wouldn't have taken it so calmly if it had been me." Pansy contributed.

"Oh, go stuff yourself Pans. Draco isn't as heartless as you are. He just needs time to adjust to Damion." Blaise retorted.

Damion sat on his bed in the Slytherin boy's dorm thinking about how his life had changed. Draco went from his worst enemy to his Twin brother in less then 24 hours. It was a bit too much for him. He felt his heart swell at the thought that he had parents that loved him. Then there was Draco.

He enjoyed his brother's company, yet... They were different. Draco seemed so stiff, so formal. It didn't seem normal. He felt odd, he knew he'd startled his brother by hugging their father, yet, it had felt right to him and Lucius hadn't objected.

He knew they had a long way to go before they were completely comfortable with each other, if ever. Draco had had their parents all to himself for 15 years, while he hadn't had any parents. It was going to take a lot of work to adjust. He wanted to feel at home with his brother, but 15 years worth of feuding was a bit hard to get over. he'd have to talk to Ron and Hermione as soon as possible Maybe they could help him sort out his feelings.

Damion smiled to himself as he changed into his favorite green PJs and crawled into bed. Just as he was pulling the covers over himself Draco entered the room. Draco looked at him in surprise.

"Not asleep yet?"

"Nope. Too much on my mind." Damion smiled. Draco nodded and pulled on his silver PJs. He climbed into his bed, drawing the curtains, but leaving the ones facing Damion's bed cracked so he could still see his brother. Damion had done the same. They lay there just watching each other. Finally Damion closed his eyes and sighed.

"G'Night, Dra. See you in the morning, brother." Damion muttered as he started to drift off.

Draco blinked in surprise, but smiled, "Sleep tight, Dami. See you at Breakfast." He closed his eyes and fell asleep facing his brother. While they slept both boys curled up as though to wrap around each other, and probably would have, had they been in the same bed. For the first time in 15 years, both boys slept soundly.

The next morning Draco shook Damion awake for breakfast, "Damion! Get up, it's time for breakfast."

"All right, all right, I'm up, I'm up!" Damion threw his blanket off and stood stretching. He gave his brother a look, which was answered by a smirk, before grabbing his robes and headed for the bathroom. After he showered and dressed he found Draco combing and gelling his hair into place.

"Ready to go yet?" Draco asked as he ran the comb through his hair one last time before setting it down and picking up his school bag from off his trunk.

"Yup." Damion snatched his own comb ran it through his now behaving hair a couple of times to get the knots out and tossed it back down. "Let's go."

The boys made their way up out of the dorms and into the common room where they were joined by Blaise, Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle. The group of six made their way out of the dungeons and toward the Great Hall. Blaise and Pansy were gossiping about some fashion they had seen in 'Witch Weakly', Crabbe and Goyle were practically salivating over the breakfast they were going to eat, and Damion and Draco were walking in comfortable silence.

They all entered the Hall and made their way toward the Slytherin table. Damion stopped when he spotted Ron and Hermione sitting with Ginny, Neville, Seamus, and Dean at the Gryffindor table.

Dami? Draco looked at his brother.

"I'll catch up with you guys in a few minutes, I need to talk to Ron and Hermione for a second." The Slytherins all looked at each other but Draco reluctantly nodded. He had had a feeling that just because Damion was a Slytherin didn't mean he would abandon his old friends.

Damion made his way across the hall toward his old table. Eyes from the other tables following him as he went. He stopped just behind Seamus.

"Hey guys." He smiled at his friends. They all turned to look at him but the only ones who looked pleased to see him were Hermione and Ginny.

"Well, if it isn't the long lost Malfoy Twin." Seamus said harshly.

"Come to mock us lowly Gryffindors?" Dean added glaring.

"What are you guys on about? All I said was 'Hey'." Damion looked at them in confusion, what had he done this time.

"Why didn't you tell us you were a Malfoy? You lied to us, you Slytherin Snake!" Ron glared at his once best friend.

"Ron!" Hermione snapped. Ginny glared at her brother.

"If you must know, 'Ron'. I just found out last night. Now if you excuse me, I get the feeling I'm not wanted here. Suddenly, I don't feel like breakfast." Damion turned away and headed for the Great Hall doors.

"Damion?" Draco called, standing up from the Slytherin table.

"Where's he going? He looked upset." Blaise asked standing next to Draco.

Draco felt a wave of protectiveness wash over him at the thought of his twin feeling upset, "I don't know, but I'm going to find out." He made his way to the Gryffindor table, Blaise following. The whole hall was watching to see what Draco would do.

"What the hell did you say to my brother, Weasley?" Draco demanded.

"Well, 'Ferret', I suppose the sneaking, lying Snake was upset that we cut him off before he could have his fun insulting us." Ron sneered at Draco.

Draco saw red. He knew Damion wasn't like that. 'He' was the one that insulted people. 'He' was the one they had a right to despise. His brother had never done anything more then be friends with the worthless idiots! He was furious.

Draco pulled his wand and pointed it at Ron's throat, "I'm afraid, Weasel, that your confusing my brother with me. I'm the one who enjoys tormenting your worthless hyde. Damion was your 'friend', though I have No idea why he would want to be. Word of advice. Stay away from him. If I hear you've said one cruel word to him, 'I'll' be the one your dealing with." He glared at Ron making certain he understood that he meant every word.

"How Dare you threaten me! He should get at least detention for that, right Hermione?" He turned to the frizzy haired girl to find her glaring at him.

"No, Ron. You'd deserve anything he gave you. How could you be so cruel to Har-" she glanced at Draco, "Excuse me, Damion! He was your best friend! Ronald Weasley you are an idiot!" With that she stood and left the Great Hall, Ginny on her heals throwing dirty looks at her brother.

Draco smirked in surprise, "Well, look at that, even your girlfriend agrees with me. Hell has frozen over. Remember what I said, Weasel." He put his wand away and went off in search of his brother. Blaise went back to the Slytherins to tell them what happened. When she finished the entire table was glaring at the three boys.

Ron, Seamus, and Dean gulped and grabbing their bags, fled the Great Hall under the piercing looks from the Slytherins and a few Ravenclaws.

GML: Ok, guys! For those of you who thought their acceptance of the truth happened to quickly, heres why. They were too in shock, I suppose you could say, reality hadn't hit them. Now they've had their first real interaction with their parents, and have had the chance to settle down into reality.

Draco: You talk too much.

GML: And your an annoying pain. As I was saying, I rather like this chapter. Don't worry, there's plenty of complications ahead. Next chapter, Damion's first interaction with Snape as a Slytherin, a little brother-brother scene from Damion and Draco, and double trouble for the school. evil grin mutters I just gotta figure out what that trouble is... grin Hey! I know! Anyone got any ideas? I'll take suggestions. I only ask that it includes both D&D. Now! REVIEW!!!!
