Draco stood outside Malfoy manor, the night cast strange shadows like creatures reaching for him from their layers. He turned toward the gates to leave but something caught his eye. Two dark shapes moved from the edge of the large house. A hooded figure half drug a blood covered Starri. Her brown eyes were clouded and he knew she couldn't see him. They stopped and a wand was pointed at Starri by the hooded figure. Draco tried to yell, to do something to stop what he knew was going to happen. Hands encircled his waist as green light blinded him; he heard a soft thud as Starri's dead body hit the ground and he finally found his voice. The tears streamed out of his grey eyes as he screamed his anguish to the night sky.
The arms around his waist reminded him of the person at his back. Breath stirred the hair near his ear and a familiar voice whispered to him, "I told you we would be together."
He whirled to see Pansy's pinched face. He did the only thing he could think of, he punched her, hard, and she fell backwards to the ground. Draco ran to Starri's lifeless body on the ground, the hooded figure had vanished but he knew who it had been. He didn't know how long he stayed there, clutching the dead girl to him, but when someone came up behind him he knew he had to face them. He placed Starri gently on the ground before he stood to see the horrified faces of Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Stormi.
"I knew it," Ron said. Stormi reach a hand toward her twin.
"No," she whispered as her eyes glazed over, Harry caught her before she hit the ground.
"You've killed them both," Harry told him, and Draco knew he was right.
Draco woke drenched in sweat, his sheets stuck to his bare chest and his boxers clung to his thighs. He threw the black duvet off and began to pace the room. Dawn was just turning the blue-black sky to a pale grey when he dressed and started up to the Great Hall.
~~*~~
Stormi sat with Harry in the Gryffindor common room. Neither of them had been able to sleep after the uproar the night before. They had sat together and talked about things; classes, music, Quidditch, anything to keep their minds off their most recent problem. They were about to get ready for the day when a 6th year named Colin Creevy came running up to Harry.
"Sorry to bother you Harry but McGonagall wants to see you right away." He said in one breath.
Harry was confused but turned to the girls and Ron, "I'll meet you there."
~~*~~
Harry walked into the Headmistress's office and found, to his horror, that Draco Malfoy occupied one of the two seats placed in front of the desk.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Harry snapped at the back of Draco's head.
"I didn't ask to be here!" Draco said, matching Harry's hostility as he turned his icy grey eyes to the angry Gryffindor behind him.
"Boys!" They both turned to the Headmistress. "Sit down, Mr. Potter. What we have to tell you both will be quite a shock." She took a deep breath and beckoned two people from the back of the room.
Tonks and Remus Lupin stepped into view and stood on the left side of the Headmistress. Tonks seemed to be on the verge of tears, her mousey brown hair falling into mud colored eyes, and Remus held her up with an arm around her waist.
"Well I'll get straight to it then," McGonagall began. "At eleven o'clock last night, there was an attempted breakout at Azkaban prison. The situation was eventually controlled but some known Death Eaters were killed." Draco, who was naturally pale, turned bone white and looked down. He could see what as coming. McGonagall continued, "Bellatrix Lestrange, Kale and Fala Parkinson," she paused for a moment, looking at Draco's stricken face.
"And Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy," he whispered into his lap. "…They were all I had left," he said numbly.
Tonks stepped forward and put her hand on Draco's shoulder. "That's not true darling," she told him.
Draco looked up slightly bewildered. "Yes they were the rest of my relatives are dead besides your mother."
"Actually Draco," this time Lupin's calm voice spoke, "your closest relation is sitting in the chair next to you."
Both boys looked at one another with shock. "What the hell are you talking about?" Harry's eyes were begging for an explanation.
"You are not the Malfoy's son Draco," McGonagall stated, "Your true name is Draco Luis Potter. You were taken from your home the night your parents, James and Lily, were killed."
"You mean," Harry said slowly, "that he and I are…"
"Brothers?" Draco asked.
"Twins actually," Tonks told them, "not identical but twins none the less."
"Draco would you mind telling us if you have any scars you do not remember receiving?" Lupin asked.
Draco scowled and thought for a moment, "Actually yes," his fingers grazed over his chest, "I've had it longer as I can remember."
"That would be the concealing charm Lucius put on you. He wouldn't have been able to change your natural looks much but he had to make you look like his child when Narcissa came back from the place of the Dark Lord's defeat with a baby in her arms."
Tonks held Lupin's hand as she explained that their parents had tried to hide them when they heard Voldemort was coming. "James hid you first, Draco, while Lily got Harry. He was on his way back to find Lily when the Dark Lord let himself in."
Tears made trails down Tonks' face as she continued. "Hagrid couldn't find you Draco, we thought Voldemort had found you first. When we realized the extent of Harry's power we knew it couldn't be true. Narcissa had waited until everything was clear before searching for any sign of her master. Instead she found a wailing baby boy in the basement."
The now black haired Tonks took a moment to wipe her eyes. "My friend Serina, Starri and Stormi's mother, had been friends with Cissa at school. She said she never had the heart of a killer. She must have taken you home and begged her husband to spare you. Lucius cared deeply for Narcissa at the time and would have done anything for her. They took you in, hoping they could use you if the Dark Lord returned."
McGonagall took over, telling them that when both boys had come to Hogwarts their first year the Order had know who they were. When the explanation was over, everyone sat in silence until Draco spoke.
"You mean you left me with that bastard of a father all those years and did nothing!"
"Oh yeah, I'm sure they were compelled to save a spoiled brat like you," Harry snapped. Within seconds they were a tangle of flying fists and kicking feet.
"Boys!" Tonks yelled as she and Lupin cast spells on them both. They rose from the floor and were pulled away from each other.
"Let me go, I'm not done with him yet!" Draco yelled, his eye already swelling from where Harry had landed a punch.
"Yeah I still want to break his nose!" Harry spat back, spewing droplets of blood from his split lip.
A silencing charm from McGonagall ended the flow of insults out of both young men. "You both are going to have to get along! You must forget that you were once enemies, you are brothers and therefore stronger together."
Tonks gave them both a stern look, "You two are likely to be one of the strongest set of wizards alive. The only ones that could possibly match you are Stormi and Starri and that is only because they have been together since birth. They will help you learn to use your powers together."
"But he tried to kill Starri!" Harry shouted as the charm was lifted.
"I did not!" Draco snarled, "One moment we're dancing and the next thing I know Starri's bleeding all over me, Pansy is on the floor laughing like she'd gone mental, and everyone is staring at me."
McGonagall sighed, "Harry you may leave now, we would like to speak to Draco." Harry stormed out of the office with a glare at his new found brother.
"Draco we would like to remove the concealment charm from you during the next Hogsmeade trip if you don't mind," Lupin told the agitated blonde teenager.
"That's fine can I just ask what…" Draco's anger slowly faded to anxiety that transformed his sharp face to almost child-like. "What will I look like?"
Tonks smiled at him, "Your hair was darker blond with some red like your mothers, and you also had James' eyes. Your features will more than likely soften a bit. Your skin might darken a little but that should be all of the change."
Draco nodded, stood and began out of the room but stopped at the door. "Thank you," he whispered, "I have family."
