The Power Of Love
Chapter 11,
"We're back!" someone shouted gleefully as they arrived in Gryffindor Common room. It had been three years since the twin had found out that that was what they were, twins and they were now starting their fourth year.
In their second year Jason had slowly become Kai's friend, leading his other friends to follow his example. Of course Kai kept himself to himself, although his new found friends did keep him safe from the Slytherin's. That year Jason also got picked to be the Gryffindor Seeker, the only second year on the team. Draco and Harry had met when the boys were in their first year, agreeing that both boys deserved to know the absolute truth. In their second year Harry asked for permission to have a visit with his other son one day in the Easter Holiday's, Draco had agreed with fingers crossed that nothing would go wrong…
/Draco looked up from the book he was reading to Kai when the doorbell rang. That's be Harry and Jason. Slowly he closed the book and handed it to Kai who remarkably easily put the book back on the shelf, his hand feeling expertly for the gap where it had come from. Draco walked to the door and with a deep breath opened it.
"Hello," he said quietly to Harry who looked just as nervous as Draco felt. "Come in."
"Thank you," Harry said quietly as the front door was shut behind him and his son.
"Kai's in the lounge, go on through and I'll go sort out some drinks for us," Draco said quietly to Harry and Jason before going into the kitchen. From there he heard Kai greet the two politely, heard Jason say a loud Hi to his twin and friend. An awkward silence followed in which Draco poured the boiled water into the kettle, adding a tea bag.
"Have you done the History of Magic homework Jason?" Kai asked quietly.
"Um, no, not really no," Jason laughed slightly, "You?" Kai noted that his twins slur was getting better with time and practise, it was barely noticeable now.
"I've started it, maybe you can come over again and we'll help each other. He set a really hard essay this time," Kai suggested.
"Yeah that's why I haven't done it yet."
"Really? And here was me thinking you'd just been too lazy and was planning to do all your homework the night before we go back," Kai laughed genuinely.
"Well that too but it is too hard," Jason chuckled. Draco walked in now holding a tray with the kettle, a jug of milk and four cups and saucers on it.
"Tea up," he said with a smile. "Do either of you want sugar?"
"I wouldn't mind some," Harry said quietly. Draco quickly got the sugar bowl and handed it to his ex-husband.
"How strong do you want it Kai?" Draco asked after making Harry's and Jason's, Harry added his own sugar. Jason blew on his loudly before taking an equally loud sip.
"Sorry," he apologised.
"Not too strong please," Kai said with a smile, holding his hands out ready to take the cup. Another awkward silence settled as they drank.
"You look-you look well Kai," Harry said at last.
"Thank you," Kai said with a small smile, "I would say something similar but it wouldn't be accurate, I can't see that you look well. You sound it, well I mean." Kai's giggle was infectious and soon both boys were at it. Draco smiled at Harry who was blushing slightly.
"Is there-Is there anything you boys want to talk about?" Harry asked.
"Did you two love each other? Once I mean," Kai asked quietly. Harry and Draco looked quickly at each other, both longing to say that they still did but neither could.
"Yes we did."
"Then why? Why did us being disabled split you apart? Don't tell me it wasn't that, it was," Kai said quickly, holding his cup handle so tightly his fingers were white.
"Kai believe me when I tell you it wasn't that," Harry said passionately. "We were young and I didn't realise-didn't realise how much I loved Draco and needed him. I thought he would be fine with staying home and looking after you two, I forgot that he was a person as well as me."
"So you split?" Kai asked.
"Sadly."
"Are you going to be friends now?" It was Jason who asked that? "there's nothing stopping you from being friends." He watched as the adults glanced at each other sadly before looking away.
"Maybe in time we'll be proper friends again," Draco said quietly. Kai leaned close to Jason to whisper in his ear,
"Are they staring at each other?"
"Yes, like anything."
"Reckon they still love each other?"
"Maybe."
"What are you two whispering about?" It was Harry.
"Nothing." Both men frowned at the boys simultaneous response and guilty faces. "Can I show Jason my room Dad?"
"Course you can," Draco said with a smile, taking Kai's cup from him and placing it on the table, "Just don't destroy anything while you're up there you two." The two boys laughed as they went up the stairs, Jason pulling Kai up behind him at a faster pace than Kai usually ascended stairs.
"They're so alike," Harry said sadly once they were gone.
"They are twins after all," Draco sighed. "There's not even a chance we can try and keep them apart now." He started to clear up the boys tea things and his own, Harry was still drinking his. "Looks like you'll be visiting again."
"Yes and probably you me if those boys have anything to do with it."/
The adults had of course been right, the children often insisted on visits to one another or days out with the other family. Their third year was mainly an uneventful year although the bullying of Kai seemed to increase and now also included bullying of poor Ken who came back from the Summer Holiday's with his left arm in plaster and stitches over his eye. He'd claimed he'd fallen down the stairs. No one in Gryffindor believed him.
"Yes that we are," Kai said quietly to Jason who was already racing up the stairs, pulling Kai along behind him. "Jason not so fast! I'm not as familiar with these stairs as I was last term!" As if to prove his statement his foot caught on a stair and he stumbled. Jason luckily caught him.
"Sorry Kai. Hey what do you think Ken's story will be this year? That black eye and broken fingers, think he fell down the stairs again?" Jason asked as they continued at a slower pace.
"Is Ken's face that bad again?" Kai asked.
"Yeah, the deepest purple for a black eye I've ever seen. Must hurt like a bi-"
"Jason."
"A lot, must hurt a lot," Jason said quickly. Kai did not approve of swearing. They were soon at the dorm and Jason opened the door so powerfully it slammed against the wall. "Look just the same, well almost only my beds actually made. Better ruffle it up a bit, it doesn't look like my bed otherwise." Kai felt his way to his bed and sat down with a small smile, listening to Jason bustling around the room.
"Hello you two," Ken's voice came form the doorway as the quiet boy arrived.
"Hello Ken. So what happened to your eye? Your hand?" Good old Jason, always to be relied upon to be as blunt as bricks.
"I-I walked into the door at home, that's how I got the black eye and managed to shut a-another door on my fingers," Ken mumbled going to his own bed. Jason now noticed his slight limp but wisely did not comment. Maybe this year they'd get the truth out of their unfortunate friend.
A/N This chapter was long long long long LONG in coming but I've been so busy lately and it just got put in a to do pile. But here is an update for all those many people who wanted one. Hope it's ok. I can't decide on whether one of the twins should be gay. Any suggestions? Actually any suggestion about anything to do with the story?
