Thank you all so much for your reviews! I treasure them all! Enjoy the story!
Dion was holding his breath timidly as the hat made his decision. Finally the hat spoke and it said into his ear "Well if that's where you want to go… there is only one house suited for Draco Malfoy, that I already know…so better be…SLYTHERIN!" Dion sighed with relief barely hearing the cheer of his new house as he walked dazedly by Draco. As he passed the young Malfoy reached out and took his hand and murmured "I'll be joining you soon."
Draco was true to his word as the hat had barely been lowered to his head before it announced Slytherin. Those at the table had quickly made a place for Dion and Draco knowing that the two would become the House Princes, though in Dion's case it would have to be Princess. Draco smiled proudly and claimed the seat at Dion's side. "Father will be proud."
Severus smiled slightly when he saw that Lucius's little loves would be in his house. He knew that this would make both his close friend and lover rest a little better at night. He wondered briefly what Frank would be up to, and then he almost felt the need to roll his eyes at his own question. He would be once again working on his little 'Rocky' project. He was fine with his lover being busy while he was gone, but he hoped that Rocky wouldn't be a problem when he returned. If he was…well then he'd simply have to be removed. Permanently.
Dion hardly ate during the opening feast, Draco put food on his plate but Dion would only push it around. He was still unused to being in this strange Wizarding World and he had never been away from his father before. He tried to hide his distress from Draco but only got a dark look for the effort. He sighed and took a few bites to appease his Dragon.
Draco's face remained perfectly impassive during dinner and he was happy to note that while Dion's face was not exactly emotionless it did have the aloof quality that was similar to that of an angel. Draco tried to show his concern in subtle ways, mainly by putting food on Dion's plate and waiting for him to eat before resuming what he was doing before. He would wait later to put his Princess at ease.
The meal passed quickly and they were led to their common rooms by the prefects. Dion noticed that the Headmaster seemed to be watching them closely but put it out of his mind. He reminded himself that Lucius said that Malfoy's naturally attracted attention and wondered if that could be it. He felt Draco's hand take his own gloved one and smiled as he knew that he only wanted to attract the attention of two special people.
Once they entered the Common Room Snape gave his own version of a 'Welcoming' Speech. Mainly reminding the Slytherins that they were no longer children but students of Hogwarts, and that as members of the Slytherin house they had certain standards to uphold. Dion held Draco's hand firmly through the whole speech. He was not immune to the curious stares that were directed at him and he needed the support of his Dragon.
Finally on brave student asked what was on all of their minds "Professor? Is it alright for a boy to be wearing a girl's uniform?" One of the first years asked, the gathered group went silent and all attention turned to Dion who was blushing brightly from this.
Snape cleared his throat and said "As long as a student is wearing a Hogwarts uniform I see no reason to trifle over the gender." He sneered and said "And whether you agree with a fellow student's choice of dress or not, you are all in the same house and I expect you to act like it." He looked at Dion and then made eye contact with everyone in the room to prove his point.
Draco was not going to let Snape defend Dion alone and made sure that it was also clear to the other students that if anyone had a problem with the way Dion dressed, they were going to have a problem with him, and thus his father, as well. The point was made crystally and there was no more discussion to be had.
Snape smirked, happy that the matter was settled and reminded the students to get to bed at a decent hour so that they would be presentable for the first day of classes. Dion turned to Draco and asked "Do you think we can…have beds next to each other?" He tried to avoid making eye contact but Draco would not be denied the sight of Dion's beautiful green eyes. He gently cupped Dion's cheek and pulled him close so that they were almost kissing. "Have a bed next to yours? Preposterous, we will be sharing one of course." He sealed this with a tender kiss, proving to the Slytherin house that the little beauty was his.
Dion smiled as they nestled down in bed, he laid his head against Draco's chest and smiled when Draco's arms wrapped around him. Soon Draco was carding his fingers through Dion's hair lulling the younger boy to sleep. Draco smiled when he saw that his little princess was asleep and soon joined him.
Lucius was looking up at the moon and remembered the way that Draco and Dion looked when they slept bathed in moonlight. He sighed and turned away from the window. Less than a day had gone by since his little dolls had left and he already missed them. He shook his head and wondered what he was going to do with himself. He looked down at the dark mark that marred his beautiful skin and remembered, he would be busy protecting both of his loves.
Frank smiled as he rested next to Rocky, to keep his mind off of the fact that his little Harry was off at some strange school he had brought Rocky to life. Of course he didn't let himself realize that the real reason was because he didn't like to sleep alone at night. He turned to Rocky who was smiling dazedly after their vigorous round of sex. He frowned slightly and said "You're not one for conversation are you?" Rocky shook his head and ducked under the sheets shyly. Frank sighed and murmured to himself "He doesn't like pillow talk either…" But tried to put the thought of his far off lover to rest.
The next day Dion woke before anyone else. He smiled as he looked down at the slumbering Draco and kissed his beloved Dragon's cheek lightly. He slipped out of bed, his white lace nightgown brushing the floor as he slowly made his way to the bathroom.
The boys woke up slowly and stumbled about to get ready. It was then that they noticed the bathroom had a strangely flowery smell coming out of it. Everything made sense when Dion left the bathroom with a towel wrapped around him and his long hair flowing in little curls. Dion blushed and said "Sorry I didn't mean to take up the bathroom…." He hoped that would be the end of it and the other boy's would get back to dressing instead of staring at his damp body.
Draco woke because of the disturbance and it took the boy only a minute to realize what was going on. He growled as he sat up in bed and tiredly stormed over to Dion's side. He pulled the pretty boy forcibly over to their bed and urged him to get dressed quickly. While he was standing guard he glared daggers at those who had been staring.
Dion smiled as Draco carefully slid Dion's hand into his gloves. He looked up at Draco and saw that the blonde boy was blushing slightly. He smiled and leaned forward to kiss Draco softly, he gave a small 'mmph!' of surprise when Draco deepened the kiss with a slip of the tongue. Dion gave a little bit of a whimper as he was pulled towards Draco.
The other boys in the room watched with blushing cheeks, when Draco broke the kiss they quickly looked away and pretended to be extremely busy getting dressed. Dion blushed as he finished slipping into his white knee high stockings, Hogwarts skirt, shiny Mary Janes, and of course his top and little matching cloak.
Draco was only slightly ashamed to admit that he watched Dion get dressed. He told himself he was simply making sure that his princess was protected. Of course this gave him a little problem of his own, but his father had already told him what to do to take care of such problems. He told Draco that when introducing Dion to more sexual escapades it would be best to wait until they were all together, and not until they were a little older.
Lucius stirred his tea listlessly as he eyed the woman at the other end of the table. He planned to have her gone by Christmas. At first he was sure that he could wait at least a few years, but it would no longer do to have her around. He smiled darkly, hiding it behind a sip of tea. His plan was already set in action.
Down at the Great Hall they were eating breakfast when their schedules arrived; Dion looked over his with interest and wondered how he would do in all the classes. He had already read some of the more interesting books, and could only hope he wouldn't embarrass himself or the two Malfoys that he loved. He saw that Potions was first and smiled; glad to have a familiar face for starters. He looked over at Draco and saw that the characteristic smirk was in place. He smiled and brushed his fingers through his hair distractedly as he looked at the rest of his classes.
Draco was looking over his own schedule, though he knew it was the same as Dion's. He became a little distracted when Dion started to brush his fingers through his hair. Making his soft flowery scent float over to Draco. He smiled and leaned in to whisper to Dion's ear "Keep doing that and you'll be in trouble." He smirked as he left a little kiss on the shell of Dion's ear.
Dion blushed and pulled his hand away from his hair. It was soon captured by Draco's firm and reassuring grip. They made their way to class in comfortable silence until Draco gave a small groan signaling his dissatisfaction. Dion looked up at him curiously before he saw the Gryffendors who were also heading towards the Dungeons. Dion's face remained impassive despite his curiosity as to the reason of Draco's hostility towards the other house. He shrugged it off as one of the many things he had yet to grasp about the Wizarding World and sat down next to Draco at their desks.
Ron snickered to one of the students sitting next to him as he pointed over to Dion and murmured "That's the bloke who wears skirts…" This comment was swiftly ended by Snape who slammed his hands down on his desk and gave Ron a pointed look before clearing his throat and beginning his 'Welcoming' Speech.
Dion took out one of his leather notebooks and began to write down quickly every word that his professor was saying, or at least the points of key interest. This awarded the Slytherin house twenty points whereas Severus had deducted 30 points from Gryffindor when Hermione Granger had answered a question in the place of Ron without raising her hand. It was then that Dion understood Draco's reaction to the Gryffendors. The rivalry was obvious, but Dion had no interest in taking part in it.
Dion continued to dutifully take notes as Draco watched him with a lazy interest. They would exchange quiet looks and small smiles. The year had begun.
Thank you all so much! The next chapter will be up soon!
