They stayed in each others arm for a long time before a strong silver glow lighted up the area, Draco looked upwards and gasped. On top of Nico's head there was what looked like the female gender sign with out the top of its circle with a smaller circle in the middle. "A child of Hades," he whispered. "Like the one you have on you?" Nico asked pointing up to Draco's own head. Draco looked up and there he saw it, the same sign that Nico had. That meant-

"We're siblings...?"

3rd Person P.O.V.

Draco sat in the train's seat he looked over at the window seeing the way parents kissed and hugged their children goodbye. He stared right ahead of him in spacing out. What happened during the winter was something that still bother him in many ways he wished it didn't. It opened old wounds he thought he got over, but guess he was wrong, he was wrong in many things.

Draco wondered how Nico was doing, did he feel okay with being out of his time? Would he still be able to adapt on his own? Will Hades even bother with being with him or will he leave Nico alone? Draco knew that he shouldn't think like this but recently its been hard to do things how he used to do them. Luckily, he gave Nico plenty of drachmas for him to contact him throughout the year. Nico still doesn't know the he's something more than just a demigod, he plans leaving it like that. Draco doesn't want Nico to be brought on all future bullshit the fates have planned on the wizarding world. Nico had his own stuff to worry about.

He sighed and closed his eyes, feeling tired all of the sudden. He glanced around the train's room no one that knew him was here, so he relaxed himself and made a makeshift pillow and relaxed. Soon falling asleep.

~~

Draco stared at the glowing symbol on top of him. He had been claimed? Nico had been as well... what was going to happen now? Did the prophecy applied to out of time demigods? Why did it took this long for him to get claimed. Before Draco could burry himself in more questions the shadows surrounded them and he felt himself dissolve in the familiar darkness.

Draco fell onto the ground alongside Nico who fell on top of him. "Are you okay?" He asked as they got themselves back up. "Yeah, I'm... good... where are we?" Nico asked looking at what appeared to be a castle. Now that Draco thought about it this castle looked familiar, "This is almost like Olympus..."

He glanced around the dark room, "Only edgier I guess.." he trailed off. He walked towards the endless hall Nico following right behind him. Draco spotted something on the end of the hall it looked human enough, "Maybe we could ask that person for directions to the nearest exit." He joked.

"Yeah, maybe..."

They walked towards the thing on the end of the hall getting closer to it made it clear that it was human, but the aura that surrounded it made Draco hesitate. "I see that you finally made it," the figure spoke and turned around to face them. Cold dark eyed focused on them, Draco froze them widen his eyes I recognization, "Lord Hades..."

"I'm glad one of my sons at least know who I am without telling them." The man- Hades, said looking satisfied at being recognized for who he was. "What are we doing here?" Draco asked getting to the point.

Hades narrowed his eyes, "Watched your tone, son. I will not accept being disrespected by a demigod son or not." He said coldly looking at Draco with a guarded expression. Draco looked aside submissively he didn't want to make the man mad while still being at his mercy on his territory. "So.." Nico interrupted the thick tension between both males. "You're our dad..right? Why did you made us come here?" He asked uncertainly.

Hades looked at Nico, "I wanted to meet you of course."

Draco stared at his father, "That's bull, what's the real reason we're here?" Hades scoffed, "Can't you believe your own father when he says he wanted to meet you?" He send Draco a unfamiliar look. Draco raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms, "Yeah cause that's what all gods always do right?" Hades scrolled, "At least be great full I even claimed you. I could just left you in the dark for the rest of your life."

"Yeah but you need us for something right? Besides I was unclaimed for so long it wouldn't of mattered if you didn't," Draco knew that he shouldn't be speaking to a god much less his own father like this but right now he simply couldn't care. This man had been absent when his mom left, he was gone his whole life and then suddenly showed up and demanded respect people would give to their parents. Pff, no Draco was tired and hurt from all of this nonsense, as if reading his thoughts Hades spoke ima strangely calm voice. "Something was keeping me from claiming you, Draconis. I knew where Nico was, and I'll admit I didn't know you were still alive," Draco would've almost explode from the anger he felt when his father, no Hades, used his full name like Lucius and in his mind people who are like Lucius are the worst.

The man didn't even know where he was or if he was even alive! Wow, talking about father of the year. Draco took a deep breath he can't lose his cool now, not when Nico was here, not when they could be in danger from Hades. "What do you mean with that?" He asked his voice controlled and calm. "The gloves that you wore prevented me to even feel you," Hades replied snapping his fingered and showing Draco's gloves on his hand. Draco instantly grabbed his hands feeling the lack of gloves on them, he looked at Hades in panic.

Hades had pulled on one of the gloves fingers, "The only time I felt you was when this malfunctioned." He said showing the hole that was on the top of the gloves. From the hand that he pulled of the arrow from his thigh back on capture the flag. "Hephaestus might've made this for you but all things tear with time," Hades said snapping his fingers and fixing the gloves tossing it back to Draco. "Thanks..." he muttered, so that's why the branch fell. Draco curse himself for not being more careful when dealing with sharp objects but then realized that he couldn't have known as the gloves are supposed to stand the activities he did, it was made from a god for gods sake!

Nico suddenly grabbed him and said—

~~

"raco!"

"...co!"

"..ke up!"

"Wake up!"

Draco jumped slightly and hit himself on the head, "wha..?" He slurred not fully awake. "Ah, finally the dead comes back to us! Man we've been calling you for like twenty minutes now!" Draco rubbed his eyes taking the sleepiness away from them and opened them again, taking in the way his friends were looking at him. "Come on sleeping beauty we're almost at Hogwarts," Lucas said pointing at the jeans and hoodie Draco was still wearing. Draco rolled his eyes and just grabbed his robe that he had used as a blanket. He put it on, "There happy?" He said and sat back down placing his face towards the cold window. "Gee, someone got up at the wrong edge of the bed," Markus said looking at Draco with an eyebrow raised. "Sorry just tired," Draco mumbled closing his eyes once again. "It's fine wanna hear what we did during Christmas?" Blaise who was next to Lucas said. Draco nodded and let the sound of his friends voice distract him from his dream.

oOo

Draco day at the boat his eyes focused on the black skeletal horse pulling the boat towards the castle. "Hey, are you okay?" Theodore asked looking at Draco worriedly. "You've been spacing out more than usual..." he trailed of. Draco nodded and mentally cursed himself for making his friends worry, "Yeah I'm good just Christmas wasn't the best to be honest. Don't worry thought I'll be fine just give me a bit of time alright?" He said smiling at Theodore. Theodore nodded and went back to talking to Blaise content with Draco's answer. When he fully turned his attention off of him Draco continued looking back at the Thestral pulling the boat. It was just a painful reminder of what he did before he became a Malfoy, what happened this winter break, and most it reminded him of the fact that he'll never really fit in. Not with demigods nor wizards, he'll just be a freak of nature, something that was made in mistake...

Aaaaannnndddd done! Huh, what's this an update? Yeah sorry about how long in took to give you this chapter, I'm not proud of how short it is but it's something I suppose. Anyways, did you liked the little flashback Draco had? You finally got some answers in him and whatever you might've wondered happened with him and Hades. (I apologize if Hades was a bit too out of character he'll become better with Draco I promise.)

Now onto the comments.

MorpheusYulia: Yeah Draco being a son of Hades was planned before I even started typing the story, it was and idea I had while thinking of which godly parent Draco should be that was different to others fanfics about him being a demigod. (The one's in which he's a son of Athena in that case.)

aflores2005: :D (Not gonna lie I thought everybody already knew or at least suspected that Hades was Draco's father XD)

Done-With-People123: I'm glad that you liked that moment between Nico and Draco back in chapter 17! (I'm sorry I didn't mentioned/answered you in the other chapter ~)

Anyways feel free to tell me any kind of idea you might have on what I can do now that Draco is back on Hogwarts. The timeline made me have to set what happened with Tom Riddle a bit early than the book so it'll be different than what happened on the book. Thanks for reading and I'll see you at the next chapter bye!

-D.
