Duo was very quiet during dinner that evening. He was thinking about his new family and what that ment for him. The other pilots noticed his unfamilar silence and it concerned them.
"Duo, Whats wrong?", Quatre asked.
"I don't know how to approach them Quatre. I mean look at them. They seem happy enough to me why should I ruin that for them" he said looking at the family scene on the other end of the table.
At the other end of the table sat Sirus, Severus, Remus, Luscious, Harry and Draco. Severus was comenting on something Harry had done stupidly in potions and Sirus was tell him to ignore Severus for he was a grump anyway while messing with Harry's hair. At Severus's look at outrage at the comment everyone laughed.
"I just dont see where I fit in.", Duo said getting up and leaving. Heero, Quatre, Wufei, and Trowa just watched him leave knowing that he needed some space. As the table noticed he wasn't there anymore Severus asked.
"Where did Duo go?"
"He needed to get away to think for awhile.", Quatre said.
"Do you know where he went?"
"No he'll explore then come tell us what he found.", Heero said.
"Your telling me that he is just wondering around in a castle, with a dark forest and giant squid surrounding it, that he doesn't even know where he's going?" Severus said his voice getting harsher as he continued.
"Let me tell you this. A boy who had seen death a hundred times over, been captured, tourtured, and piloted a killing machine, who is also one of the best bomb technician and slueth, You think a mere Castle, forest, and water creature are going to stop him. If you were so worrid you should have realized he'd be insecure about his place in your life and not flunt another in front of him", Heero told Severus standing to meet him on his own. "Now if you'll excuse me I must find my boyfriend before he discovers this 'dark forest' and males it a Dark Parking Lot.", He continued leaving the dinning hall.
Severus slumped onto the bench while he processed all that he had been told.
"Sir, Duo may be a joker but we know when he hurts and right now he just needs to be reassured.", Quatre told Severus.
"So Siri and Severus why don't you go help find him and I'll stay here." Harry told them.
After they left Harry took Heero's seat across from Trowa. He looked at Trowa. "We have the same eyes." Harry said.
"Yes."
"Can you tell me about you and Heero?"
"I was raised on L3 by Cathrine. She's a worker in a circus. I learned to not be afraid and just go with the flow while there. then found my self playing a key role in the war. Met others who were like me. Killed men. Saved the world and now find myself at a magic school and not only finding one but two brothers. Very exciting I must say. Tell me about you".
"Well I was raised in Surrey England by my aunt and uncle who despise me by the way, I also had a cousin who was just like my uncle. My room was a cupord under the stairs until I was 11. Found I was a wizard, a famous one at that. Later discovered that the same man who killed our parents is still alive somehow and wants to kill me. Now I have brothers and I'm excited to have family that I hope wont hate me"
Quatre looked at Harry with tears in his eyes.
"We could never hate you little one", Trowa said. "Come let us help find Duo, Shinigami only knows what he is getting into".
