Family Portrait.

Chapter Seven.

(***)

It had been a week. Teagan had gotten a month detention for being rude to McGonagall, though Draco and Harry were surprised she hadn't been expelled.

The day was sunny, so Teagan, Harry and Draco all sat at the Quidditch pitch, either studying or in Teagan's case, charming rocks to go through the hoops in the goal posts.

Draco and Harry had made up (more like made out in Teagan's opinion) and were no longer arguing, much to Teagan's happiness.

She believed she was the one to set Harry and Draco up.

'We didn't need your help.' Harry said, chuckling at his sister.

'Yes you did, you guys were hopeless. You wouldn't have been able to figure out you liked each other without me. You two boys owe me big time!'

Draco looked up, one elegant eyebrow cocked up.

'Threesome?'

Both Harry and Teagan hit Draco's arms at the same time making him yelp.

It was a few days later when Harry got a letter through owl post.

Dear Harry, Teagan and Elizabeth.

You're probably wondering why this isn't addressed to Kody as well, he has been given a separate letter.

I need you all to keep an eye on that brother of yours. I got a letter yesterday morning that Kody had been acting strangely, out of the ordinary, in fact depressed. I want to make sure he is ok. You know what Kody is like.

I'll see you all at Christmas holidays. Tell Draco that he is welcome to come over for Christmas, for I heard from Narcissa that her and Lucius have a business trip they're going on.

Love, mum and dad.

Harry folded up the piece of parchment and stuck it in his pocket hurriedly when he noticed Kody coming their way.

'Mum sent a letter,' Kody said, passing Harry the letter.

Dear Harry, Teagan, Kody and Elizabeth.

All is well at home; Tina ended up breaking her arm the other day, but it's all fixed now.

Brent melted your iPod Teagan, accidental magic, so don't blame him for it. Besides, we brought you a new one.

I will see you all at Christmas holidays. Tell Draco that he is welcome to come over for Christmas, for I heard from Narcissa that her and Lucius have a business trip they're going on.

Love, mum and dad.

Harry resisted his urge to laugh and put the letter on the table.

'Anyways,' said Kody grabbing the letter and sticking it in his pocket, 'cya.'

Before Kody could walk away however, a hand grabbed the hood of his robes.

'What the-'

'Oh no you don't. You're going to sit here, eat breakfast, then you're going to talk to me.' Harry said, dragging Kody and making him sit next to him at the empty spot on his left side.

'You can't force me to do things!' was Kody's only retort.

'Yes and I'm Albus Dumbledore,' Harry retorted making the boy sit still finally with a sigh.

Kody ate in silence as the others talked and as Elizabeth got out her art book and began drawing.

After they all finished their breakfast, Harry dragged Kody to the Slytherin dungeons, ignoring the very few glares he got for brining a Gryffindor into their home and dragged him to the fifth year dormitories.

'Sit.'

Kody did as he was told, slightly worried about what was going on.

'Now, I'm not meant to tell you, but I'm pretty sure you're smart enough not to go running to mum and dad-' Harry turned when he heard the dormitory door open, but turned back to Kody when he realized it was only Teagan.

'Sorry,' she muttered.

'Now, mum and dad are saying you've been acting weirdly, the professor's told them. But they're not the only ones who realized this. What's going on Kody! Is someone hurting you-'

'No!'

'Is it school? Is there something you're failing in?' Teagan asked from behind.

'No, it isn't school-'

'Then what Kody! I need to know!'

'I think I'm like you!'

Harry stopped for a moment.

'What do you mean, you think "you're like me."?'

Kody squirmed a little on the bed.

'You're gay?' Teagan asked.

'I...I think so.'

Harry stood in shock, turning towards his twin who just shrugged her shoulders.

"Thanks for the help sis" Harry thought.

'What makes you think that?' Teagan asked.

'There's this boy, in my class...his names Aaron...and...do I really have to talk about this?'

'Yes!' Harry and Teagan said at the same time.

'Well...I have dreams about him...and...we're best friends...but I feel more...'

'Have you ever liked a girl before?' Harry asked.

'Yeah, her name was Lucy-'

'Then it's probably just teen hormones or you're bisexual...right Teagan?'

Teagan just nodded.

'Why did you hide it from us?' Harry asked.

'It was embarrassing. And I thought you would hate me. I thought all of you would hate me...even mum and dad.'

'They wouldn't-' Harry stopped for moment...wait a minute...how had Kody known that he was gay?

'Kody...how did you know I was gay?' Harry asked worriedly.

Kody paled.

'Kody! Tell me now!'

'I overheard you and Teagan talking, don't worry, nobody else knows!'

Harry sighed, relief flooding him.

'Ok. Well, if you have any other doubts. Let me know, come talk to me, otherwise me and Teagan will do this again.'

Teagan nodded to assure Kody that she would help.

Kody just nodded and sighed. Before getting up and leaving the dormitory with his brother and sisters gaze on him.

Harry sighed and sat down, but got up again when he heard uproars from the other Slytherins in the common room.

'I'll handle it,' Teagan said, standing up and walking out of the room. Harry heard her shouting at the others.

'Shut up the lot of you prats! If you lay a fucking hand on him you'll have to answer to me and my brother!'

Harry laughed.

Yep. He and Teagan were definitely Slytherins. Even if they lived in a family with mainly a bunch of Gryffindors.
