How do these things happen? Ch. 6

***Harry's POV***
I awoke at precisely nine o'clock. Today is July twenty fourth, I still have six days until my mother comes and gives my father a heart attack. I'm betting on that happening. I have absolutely no plans for today.
I wanted to spend today with Draco. You know getting to know him better. All I know about him is that he's in slytherin, he spent the last four years of his life bugging me and he's my newly found twin brother. We don't know anything about one another so that's what I want to do today.
I walked into his room at about ten to see him sitting on his bed doing his homework. He looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back.
"Hey Draco I was wondering if I could talk with you."
"What about?"
"I just thought it would be a good Idea for us to get to know each other better that's all."
"Um sure, come sit down." I went and sat on his chair which was at his desk. "So what do you want to talk about?"
"About us. You know we're going to have to act civilly so we might as well try to become friends. Man this is so weird."
"What is?"
"This, this whole situation. I would have never guessed that something like this would happen to me. Even with all the weird things that I've gone through. This takes the cake. Especially the whole thing with us actually looking alike."
"Yeah I know what you're talking about. When my 'parents' died I never would have guessed that Sev was actually my birth father and that you were my twin."
"Do you think you'll ever be able to call him dad or even father? I mean I've only known for two days and it just comes so naturally." It really did come naturally for me it kind of scared me at first.
"I'm not sure Harry. I'm really not sure. The difference between you and me is that I lived my whole life being raised with a father. You haven't. I think that eventually I will be able to call him father but I'm not sure when that is going to happen."
"It's weird I've known you for four years and I never even knew we had the same birthday. It's not like if I did I would have suspected something but still." It's so weird how things work out sometimes.
"Yeah I know what you're talking about. It was probably the glamourie which was on us."
"Hey Draco? How did dad know my favorite color?"
"I'm not sure. He just has his way of figuring things out." I looked at Draco and noticed he was holding the twin to my stuffed tiger.
"So he really kept those this whole time? It must have been really hard for him to do that, you know having things around which were reminders of us."
"Yeah I used to see them when I went down here for extra help. Don't ask. He kept them on a book shelf. He never even did anything to make me suspect that there was more to them then just a decoration."
"It must have been so hard for him to see his own children look like someone else's for so long." I was starting to feel sorry for him.
"Yeah especially you."
"What are you talking about?"
"You know because of your house he had to be mean to you?"
"Oh that."
***Draco's POV***
This is actually pretty nice having a decent conversation with Harry. I mean he is my brother after all.
"Draco? Out of everything you own what is your favorite?"
"The golden tiger by far. It represents so much to me."
"Yeah same here." That wasn't really surprising that it was his favorite too. "It gives me a sense of family. Of being loved."
You know what Harry? I'm actually glad that you're my brother. I mean we are actually getting along." If someone would have told me a year ago that I would be sitting in my bedroom talking with Harry potter about how much I like him being my brother I would have told them to get some mental help.
This is the best thing to ever happen to me. Not that I had a problem with being a Malfoy it's just different. Maybe it's because I have a brother now. Or maybe it's because it feels so right to be here with these people.
"Harry? I just realized I haven't seen father all morning." He smiled at me.
"Oh so you're calling him father now?" He's right I did and I didn't even notice. I smiled.
"Yeah I guess so let's go look for him." We didn't have to go far because we realized our father was right outside my bedroom door listening to our entire conversation. He had a wide smile spread across his face.
***Severus' POV***
I had listened to my son's conversation. I was so glad they were getting along. That's what I was originally afraid of, that they wouldn't accept each other as their brothers.
Sometimes I look at them and wonder how different our lives would be if Angelique never would have disappeared. What it would be like if they were raised brothers. What they would be like if they knew how wonderful Angelique was.
I jumped when I noticed that they were staring at me. I was caught.
"Did you listen to our entire conversation?" asked Harry looking a little annoyed.
"Umm, I guess." I was at a loss. "You know what. I'm really proud of you two. I never would have guessed you would have gotten along this well especially only a few days after you both knew." They both smiled.
"Dad are you doing anything today?" I was a little shocked with Draco calling me that. It was the first time he called me that.
"I can honestly tell you I have no plans for today."
"Can you tell us about our mother?" If that shocked me I wouldn't be able to tell you what Harry said did to me.
"No," that was all he said. Simple as that. Once he saw our face he continued. "I think we should wait until our birthday. Why would he want to wait until their birthday?
"Ok Harry if that's what you want." That was all Draco had to say. Harry looked a little mischievous.
"Yes it is, you'll understand why in six days." What was going on in six days? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
"Harry, Draco, there are some things I need to explain to the two of you."
"What is it?" They both said at the same time. Must be a twin thing.
"I need to explain to you two about what's going to happen this school." They both looked at me expectantly. "Let's go sit in the living room alright?" They followed me into the room.
"What is it dad?"
"Next year you two will have to acquire new identities."
