A/N: I never used to think of myself as such, but... My dear, you make me feel as if I am the stars in the sky. And you help ground me, as well. Are we perhaps then Gaia and Uranus, forever destined?
AU Summary: Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy-Potter and Sirius Rubeus Malfoy-Potter are the sons of Draco Lucius Malfoy and Harry James Potter. While their fathers were distracted, the two peered into a magical object called a Looking Glass. The Looking Glass shows different worlds, so long as you don't touch it. The boys touched it.
Scorpius had known that there were some things that their parents never told them about growing up. But even the idea that his dad might have been a Death Eater… He knew that it was an alternate reality, and that none of it was real, but it felt real enough. "The Dark Lord will have fun with you, Potter," the Draco Malfoy of this reality said to Siri, causing Siri to curl up further as they waited in their… Their cell. What were they waiting for? The end? For some big rescue? Life wasn't some story. His dads wouldn't even realize they'd left, probably. There wasn't going to be some big rescue. "Oh, yes, he's been wanting to get his hands on you. Though I do have to wonder how you did it. You're so small. So weak."
Scorpius finally stood up, standing in front of Siri. "Leave him alone! He hasn't done anything to you! Just let us both leave!"
"No, no, I'm afraid not," he tsked, so much like Daddy. "That's not going to be happening, nameless accomplice. Now sit nicely and be quiet. You won't like it if I have to get upset with you."
Scorpius only felt like his cheeks were burning as he stamped his foot at him. "I'm not afraid of you!"
Now he was grinning, like this was all some game. If it was a game, Scorpius didn't want to play anymore. This wasn't a very fun game. "You should be."
Scorpius finally decided to ignore him and turn to Siri, putting his hands on Siri's shoulders. "Hey, Siri, hey."
Siri was shaking as he stared up at Scorpius. "I'm sorry- I know I'm a baby-"
"No, no, hey," Scorpius said, finally pulling Siri into a hug and whispering to him. "I'm scared too. I'm really scared. But hey, isn't this Dad's job? Stop the bad guys, and save people? It's the thing that he's the best at. He's gonna find us. He's gonna come get us, and stop the bad guys, and we'll go home.
"We're gonna go home, and we'll make Dad and Daddy feel so bad that they get us whatever we want," he continued as he pulled away to rub at Siri's arms and smile at him. "We'll make them get us a giant tower of ice cream for each of us, and lots of new toys. Like that giant teddy bear you've been wanting for ages?"
Siri stared at him before a wobbly smile slowly started to form on his face. "Or like that train track you've been asking Dad for?"
Scorpius grinned, relieved to see that Siri was really starting to feel a little bit better. "Exactly like that. They'll feel so bad, they'll have to get us whatever we ask them for."
"You can put on whatever acts you like, I know you're just pretending. You can give it up, now," the Draco behind them yawned. "You're trapped and the calvary is not on the way, Potter. You've finally lost, and honestly, it's about time."
Siri finally huffed and stood. "My dad never loses! You're stupid!"
"Your father? Oh, right, yes, because you're still pretending to be a child. Well then. You ought to know by now that my side? The Dark Lord? We always win. You won't be getting out of this one."
"That's what you think," Siri proclaimed loudly, his arms crossed as he lifted his head, looking like Daddy when he was about to win something. "My dad always wins. He's Harry Potter! He always wins!"
Scorpius realized too late exactly what it was that Siri said. He turned to his little brother with wide eyes, "Siri, no-"
"Your father… Oh, I see, now," Draco said with a smirk, looking them both over while his eyes seemed to shine. He looked like the kneazle that caught the owlet.
Oh no.
