Ok. So I'm here to finish what I started yesterday.

Chapter 10
Raven POV
We stared into the fire for what seemed like hours before he spoke. "Please don't cry Raven." I touched my face and sure enough there were tears. I wiped them away and cuddled into Draco's chest. "I'll be back. I'll write to you. How is that?"
"It won't be the same." I knew I was being a spoiled brat. I could care less. My brother was leaving me.
"Raven, please don't be like this. You're going to make me cry." I looked up into his face and sure enough there were unshed tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry." He shook his head and hugged me to him. I started crying again. He rubbed soothing circles into my back. The sobs slowly turned into hiccups. I looked back up at him. "I-I'm go-gonna miss you Dr-Dray."
"I know. I'm gonna miss you too Raven." He lifted me up so I was standing on the floor. He got up and stretched. "Let's get dressed. I don't think father would like it much if we stayed in our pajamas all day." I was the only one actually in pajamas. Draco had stopped wearing them two years ago. He was only in a t-shirt and a pair of boxers. I still wore my dragon pajamas. More so because they reminded me of Draco than anything else.
I nodded and Draco took me back upstairs and stood in front his closet. He pulled out a white long sleeved button up shirt and a pair of designer jeans and handed them to me. I raised my eyebrow and held the shirt back out at him. He hit himself on the forehead and took the shirt back only to replace it with a blue one. Draco figured out why I wasn't allowed to wear white when after we had played in the pool in the back yard, I didn't have any clothes to wear and he gave me his favorite white shirt to wear. In about half an hour, it was stained beyond recognition.
I laughed at him and went into his bathroom to change.
Draco POV
I watched as Raven walked into my bathroom. I sat down on the bed and sighed. I'd miss the little booger while I was at school. He was more like my little brother than my friend. With a friend, I could stand to be away from them for more than a few days. Raven was over here every day since the day by the piano except when he had dragon pox. He had kicked and screamed for four days until they said he wasn't contagious anymore and I was allowed to come over.
I was so close to begging father to bribe Dumbledore to let Raven come to school with me. But I knew that no amount of money could get the headmaster to let in a just now ten year old. He was barely letting me go and I turned eleven on October third.
Writing would never be the same but it would have to be enough until December. Hopefully Raven wouldn't put too much of a strain on his parents once I left. If I knew Raven, and I do, he would hole himself up in his room or even go as far as sneaking off to mine.
I heard the bathroom door open and saw Raven come out with my clothes on. The shirt was a little baggy along with the jeans but there wasn't much I could do about that. The sleeves were way too long along with the pants legs. I rolled them both up and gave him his spare tennis shoes we always kept over here. No matter how much we tried my shoes would not fit the other boy.
With the bathroom free, I grabbed an outfit and went to go change. Raven tried to follow me. I had to shut the door in his face to keep him out. I know I probably hurt his feelings, but the kid really didn't need to follow me to the bathroom. I heard him slam against the door in frustration. I shook my head. What was that kid going to do without me?
Lucius POV
I heard a slam coming from Draco's room. I rushed in without knocking to find Raven sitting against the bathroom door crying. I rushed over to him. He looked slightly dazed like he had just hit his head. That must have been the slam I heard. "Raven, where's Draco?" Panic started to set in. If Raven was crying then something must be wrong with Draco. He pointed behind him. I nodded and moved him away from the door. I burst into the bathroom to find a half-naked Draco. He turned around and used his shirt to cover up his private parts.
"Father! What are you doing here? Get out!" I quickly backed out and closed the door. I turned to raven. Surely I had a blush on my face.
"Why didn't you tell me he was getting dressed?" He started to giggle. At least he wasn't crying.
"You didn't give me time to. You just barged in there." I smiled down at him and picked him up.
"Then what had you so upset?" The smile seemed to be forced at this point. He shook his head.
"Nothing." I knew he was lying. It would have been obvious to a toddler. I set him down anyway.
"Well when Draco gets out, you two come down with me and Cissy. We need to talk anyways." He nodded to me. "Got that Draco?" I called through the door.
"Yes sir!" I chuckled and left the two boys to themselves. As I made my way down the stairs, I thought. Raven's dependence on Draco was a problem. Draco had to go to school this year without him. I could almost guarantee that he was crying because Draco was leaving. I had tried to get Albus to let Raven in a year early. It wasn't happening. That's what we needed to talk about. Raven being without Draco for a little over three months. The longest they had been apart in a very long time was one weekend when Sirius took Raven to see his friend Remus.
And there you have it! Hopefully it's more satisfying than last chapter. REVIEW! ^^
