Chapter Four

Draco woke up early the next morning. It was only six. He got out of bed and looked over at his brother. He didn't hate Harry...it was just strange. Harry was...different. Harry was a lot like his father. Draco was sure his father thought he was going to be a death eater...a loyal one.

Draco would never become a death eater. He was nothing like them. It was all an act. He didn't hate half-bloods, Harry, or Dumbledore. He didn't like Crabbe and Goyle and most certainly not Pansy. His act was just very convincing, sometimes even convincing himself.

Draco walked down to breakfast and was about to start eating his pancakes when his father's black eagle-owl flew in. It dropped a letter wrapped in a single red ribbon. That signified anger...Draco shakingly opened it.

Draco,
You are really screwing up your chances. You need to straighten out your act and treat your brother with respect. He can make his own choices and Miss Granger, I have heard, is very smart. You are lucky that Kade only hexed you...if it had been me...

Your mother thinks I am too hard on you. I do not believe that. I think that you deserve punishment. Unless I hear some very good things, I think that you will be grounded over holiday.

Sincerely, Lucius.

Harry walked in to see his brother slowly eating his food. A letter clutched in his empty hand. He looked up at Harry and smiled. "Kade? Come sit with me, please?"

Kade walked over to Draco and sat down. "What do you want?"

"I wanted to apologize. I really don't have a problem with mudbloods. It's just an act. And dad doesn't care...I'm sorry." Harry nodded.

Then Hermione came in, waving a letter. "KADE!?"

Kade stood and looked at her. He gently kissed her lips and asked what she was wanting.

"My cousin...she is moving to Hogwarts. She lives in America and her mom and dad found out that I was a witch. She is moving to Hogwarts. She is getting here tomorrow!"

"Really? What is her name?" Harry asked.

"Her name is Felicia. She is really nice...even though she is from muggle parents." She said looking at Draco. Draco frowned.

Kade smiled. "I am sure she is. Well Draconis, I suppose I forgive you." He then walked offf with Hermione.

As they were leaving the Great Hall a letter dropped into his hands. Hedwig hooted and then flew off. Harry smiled and he and Hermione walked the rest of the way to the library.

Harry sat down at the table while Hermione went looking at books. He slowly opened the letter from his father.

Kade,
I wrote to your brother. I really hope he gets the picture. I am scared that he will become...unloyal...to what we believe in. I will have to be careful around him. If he does...my cover is blown and so is yours.

I have absolutely no problem with you dating Hermione. And I really think that you need to tell her the truth. It will be hard on her to not know. That is why I wrote to Albus. He has agreed to let us tell her as long as she allows us to us a fidelius charm. Ask her about this. If I am correct, you got this after leaving breakfast. Meaning I am in Albus's office right now. Ask her and if she agrees bring her up. Get your brother too.

I have to go and please hurry up. If she doesn't agree come up anyway.

Your father, ' Lucius

Harry smiled as Hermione sat down. "Hermione?"

"Yes?" She asked not looking up from the book in her hands.

"I need to tell you something. But it is imperative that you do not tell anyone. I will be required to put you under fidelius. You telling could cause people to die. If you will all it though, I would prefer not to lie to you anymore."

That got Hermione's attention. "What is it?"

"Come on...we have to go to Dumbledore's office." He grabbed her hand and they started the trek up to the headmasters office. In the hallway they met up with Draco who joined them silently. Harry simply said, "Father" and Draco knew they were going to meet him.

They walked into Dumbledore's office to see the smiling face of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. Harry smiled and went to hug Lucius. Hermione gasped. She then saw Dumbledore's face. He was smiling. She quickly relaxed. "Kaden?" She asked.

Kaden turned around when Hermione spoke his name. "Hermione? Can we put you under fidelius?"

Hermione nodded and then Dumbledore spoke quickly and a blue light circled those in the room. Then it was over. "Hermione, you can not tell anyone about this." Dumbledore said. She nodded.

"Harry, do you want to tell her?" Albus said, still looking at Hermione. Hermione smiled and said, "HARRY'S HERE?"

She then gasped when she heard her boyfriend say, "Sure I will."

Harry ushered Hermione to a chair. "Hermione, it is me...Harry. This is going to go really fast okay? I am not Lily and James Potter's son. I am actually their best friends' son. And Draco's twin brother. My birth name is Kaden Xavier Malfoy. This is my true appearance. Lucius is a spy. I was given to the James and Lily, they wanted a kid and were infertile. My father gave me to them not because of that though. He gave me to them until Voldemort was dead. You see...Voldemort only wanted one child, a son, to come of the Malfoy name. My dad was loyal then so he agreed...But my mother conceived twins. SO when I was born...I was given to Lily and James. The night they died, my father became a spy. He couldn't take me yet, because they were sure that Voldemort would arise again. But they had to take me in...Voldemort found out how to get through the Dursley's wards. This was where I was safe. I am sorry for lying to you, Hermione."

Hermione sat wide eyed. "You are DRACO'S brother?"

"Yes?"

"But he is such a jerk!!!" Hermione shouted. Lucius, Narcissa, Harry, and Albus laughed. Draco scowled. "It's an act, Granger. I have to keep up the appearances or my family will be killed. Don't get me wrong, I still don't really like you or Kade...you are a know-it-all and he is the golden boy...but it had nothing to do with you being born to muggles."

Hermione smiled. "Mr. Malfoy?"

"Yes?" Lucius asked.

"Are you okay with me and Kade....Harry...no, Kade being together?"

Lucius laughed. "I don't have a problem with it at all. I have to act like I do...but I don't."

"Mrs. Malfoy?"

"Are you kidding? I was best friends with Lily. I was a Gryffindor too...how did you think Harry was in Gryffindor in the first place. He got some of his mother's qualities. And I have to say, you are beautiful. He has good taste." Hermione blushed.

"Hermione?" Harry asked.

"Yes?"

"Are you mad at me?" Harry asked worriedly.

"No! But I do need to know what to call you."

"I am officially a Malfoy...call me Kade." Narcissa and Lucius smiled. Hermione ran over to Harry and kissed him. "This is so wonderful!"

Harry smiled. "So...you know why you can't tell anyone about this, don't you?"

"Of course, Kade, I am not stupid...Mr. Malfoy could be killed by Voldermot or Narcissa, Draco or you. And the order wouldn't have it's spy. Who all know that Mr. Malfoy is a spy anyway?"

Lucius smiled. "Albus, Narcissa, Draco, Kade and you. And please call me Lucius."

"Only if you call me Hermione."

"Deal." He said, smiling.

"You know, you don't look to bad when you aren't acting like an asshole."

Lucius chuckled. "I think I will take that as a compliment."

This is when Albus began to talked. "Hermione, your cousin in arriving tomorrow night. You are welcome to come up here and greet her. Be here at 2, Kade you are welcomed also."

Hermione smiled. "Okay. We will be here. Now I have a lot of work to do...I can't believe my boyfriend is the son of Lucius Malfoy. HA! Harry Potter, boy-who-lived son of Lucius Malfoy, death eater. That is rich!" She said laughing.

Harry mock glared. "Okay...Hermione can we go now?" She smiled and started to leave. She then turned around. "It was nice meeting you Lucius, Mrs. Malfoy."

"It was nice to meet you to, Hermione." Lucius said.

Hermione and Harry walked back to the library to finish their homework. They walked slowly and didn't speak. Once they were done, Harry walked Hermione back to Gryffindor Tower before setting off for the dungeons. He kissed her and started to walk away. He was about to walk down the dungeon stairs when someone pushed him. He tumbled down the stone steps but kept consciousness. Then he looked up into the face of Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan. Dean punched him. "What do you think you are doing, Malfoy?"

Seamus spoke up. "We don't need any death eater scum messing with us or Hermione. She doesn't need you. You already forced her friend into hiding and killed her other best friend. Why don't you just back off." Then the pain began. They punched, kicked, hexed, and cursed him. Harry was about to lose consciousness when a voice rang through the air.

"What are you doing!?" Snape's voice rang out before yelling expelliarmus. The two gryffindors wands flew to his hands as another voice joined in. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY BROTHER!!!" Draco yelled. The two boys then found themselves up against the wall, Draco's hands holding them there.

"B-BROTHER?!" Dean yelled. "I thought he was your cousin!" Draco yelled stupefy and the boys slumped down.

Snape came up behind him. "Mr. Malfoy, you have some explaining to do."

Draco sighed. "I was just defending my bro...cousin."

"Oh it is too late now...so Kaden is your brother...I should have known...he is the spitting image of your father...not much like your father's brother."

"Leave me alone, Snape?"

"Draco! We have been friends for a long time. Our friend will be very interested in knowing that there are two Malfoy boys...he shall reward me."

"Snape, I know your position..." Draco said, seriously. Severus's eyes grew wide. "We are going to see the headmaster."

Severus picked up the now unconscious Harry and he and Draco left, forgetting about the two gryffindor boys. None of the men noticed the blonde girl watching from the corner. "My master will be interested in this..." she said before leaving.

He walked briskly into the headmaster's office. "ALBUS!"

The headmaster looked up from his desk. "No need to should, Severus, I am right here."

"Kade is Draco's brother, he is a SPY! AND Draco knows that I am too."

"Calm, Severus. Draco we need to call your father. Maybe you should take Kade down to the hospital wing while we talk."

Draco nodded. "Yes sir." He then took his brother from Snape's arms and left.

An hour later, Draco returned to see Snape unconscious, his father laughing and Albus with that damned twinkle in his eye. "What happened here?"

Lucius turned to his son. "Draco...we told Snape, but do not tell him that Kaden is really..."

"I understand." Lucius looked at his son and smiled. "Draco, I want to say...I am proud of you. You really showed your true colors tonight. I was having my doubts I am sad to say...but I do believe your loyalties lie with me and Albus now. Thank you for that."

"I understand. But this is bad. I have really messed up. If this somehow got out..."

Albus smiled. "But it hasn't...we are okay. Professor McGonnagal is talking to Mr. Thomas and Mr. Finnegan right now. They are, of course, being expelled."

Draco nodded. "Is that all you needed me for?"

"Yes." Albus said. "By the way, I think you might like to accompany Hermione and Kaden to meet Hermione's cousin...I think you might like her." Draco raised an eyebrow but said nothing to the twinkle in Albus' eye. Just nodded and left.

Draco walked down to the infirmary to check on his brother. All the way down he was nervous. What if Kade laughed in his face? What if he hated him? He opened the door to see Kade lying on his bed but most definitely not sleeping soundly. He was thrashing around and Draco didn't know what to do. He went over to his brother and sat on the bed. He grabbed Kade an shook him but that didn't help. So he lifted his brother into his arms and rocked him.

Soon Harry stopped jerking in his arms and crying. He pulled away from his brother and looked at him, confused. "What are you doing here?" Harry asked.

"You were having a nightmare, I was just trying to hel...well I suppose I'll go then...goodni..." Draco said.

"No...don't leave. Thank you."

"Listen, I know you don't like me, I can respect that, you make your own decisions. But I really do..."

"I don't not like you." Harry whispered.

Draco continued, "like you, and I am glad you are my brother....WHAT?!"

"I am happy you are my brother too...it's great to have a family who loves me...even if we did act rude to each other, I do not hate you Draco...I never have, you are my brother..."

Draco started to move before he was pulled into a hug my Kade. He was tense at first but then relaxed. "So do we have a truce?"

Kade smiled. "Of course...now what is happening? The last thing I remember was you yelling for them to get their hands off you brother. Does the whole school know?"

"No. Dumbledore already talked to the Gryffindorks...they are being expelled."

"Good...it wouldn't be a good thing if this got back to Voldemort."

"Definitely not." Draco said, laughing.

Lucius Malfoy strolled into the room with his wife behind him. Narcissa pushed her husband out of the way and ran to her eldest twin. "OH MY POOR BABY! Are you okay? Are you hurting?"

"MOM! I am okay! A little sore, but okay. It doesn't help with you squeezing me like this though!" Harry weezed.

Narcissa jumped back like hot water had been poured on her. "Oh, I am sorry..." She cried. Harry just signed. Lucius was laughing. He ruffled Kade's hair before asking how he was.

"As I just told mom...I AM FINE!"

"Well Albus says you'll be out in the morning...Draco can you help him down to breakfast in the morning without being a jerk...he is FAMILY!"

Draco nodded and smiled. Lucius furrowed his brow. "What is happening here? You aren't angry you have to come help him?"

Draco and Kade smiled. Kade spoke. "We have a truce. We have decided we are happy to be brothers and therefore, are not going to try to tear each other's throats out anymore."

Lucius nodded skeptically, Narcissa burst into tears of joy. Kade was about to ask where Hermione was when the door burst open and a tearful Hermione ran through and threw herself onto Harry.

"OH KADE! ARE YOU ALRIGHT? Dean and Seamus are packing now." Kade just hugged back. "I am fine."

Narcissa snorted. "You let her hug you as tight as she wants..."

Kade laughed. Lucius answered for him. "I think he would rather his girlfriend maul him with kisses than his mother...but you can maul me."

Narcissa glared and the three teenagers laughed.

The next two hours passed slowly. Lucius talked to his family and Hermone about his position and the luckiness that no one had found out of Kaden's identity or parentage. They all agreed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The death eater stood in front of it's master. Voldemort was looking down at her with a rarely seen smile, no matter how maniacal it looked. "You please me...I am always happy to root out a traitor."

"Thank you my lord." The death eater could barely hold her disgust in as she gazed upon her snake faced master. Power was sexy, though. She always thought that when she was appalled at how he looked at her...like a starving person eyeing fresh meat.

"Yes...this is very interesting...and you are sure that young Malfoy said that the other boy was his BROTHER."

"Yes, master." The girl said honestly.

"Well...apparently, Lucius has been keeping a secret from me for a very long time. What is this boy's name...what does he look like?"

"Well...his name is Kaden Malfoy...He has the traditional Malfoy looks and even looks more like Lucius than Draco...but they could be twins."

"Very possible that they are...they are in the same year?"

"Yes master."

"This is interesting...I think we might need to take care of Lucius...and find more out about this boy...I trust you are up for the job."

"What do you want to know about him?"

"Anything you deem useful..."

"Anything else, my lord?" The death eater asked.

"YES! FIND OUT WHERE HARRY POTTER IS!!!" Voldemort screeched.

"I will do my best, my lord." The death eater said during a bow.

"You will succeed or pay the consequences, Ms. Parkinson."

"Yes master."

"Something else...why don't we let Lucius find out that we know...tell people tomorrow...tell them that Kaden Malfoy is the son of Lucius. It will be great to see Lucius shake a little...Also keep and eye on Snape."

"Master, I believe Snape is loyal."

"I do not remeber asking what you think..." Voldemort warned, coldly.

"You didn't, I apologize..."

"No more excuses..." Voldemort said.

"Yes master, no more excuses. I apologize."

"NOW GO!!!" Voldemort screeched, holding back his amusement at watching the girl scurry away like cochroach from the light.
