-Simple Plan
Draco Narcissus Malfoy hated his life. Wait let's get it right Draco hated parts of his life. He loved being rich and gorgeous, he loved his mother and most of the time he loved his father. Except for when his father put him in to situations such as the one he found himself in now. The dark lord wanted him as some sort of pet! Malfoy's were not pets! Especially this Malfoy!
Draco had no plans of living out his life as some kind of sex pet to the dark lord. He was the Slytherin Prince, a leader, not a slave to a ugly power-mad freak. He was the Avatar of Earth. Yes he was vain and full of himself, only the best would do for Draco, but he had another side a side he kept hidden from everyone except his closest friend Blaise and his cousin Saki. Draco was...nice. While yes he had the ice cold bastard facade down pat, that wasn't the real him. The real Draco, while a spoilt brat to the extreme, was kind and fun-loving. He cherished his few close friends and family. Blaise was like a brother to him and Saki was the closest thing to a sister he had. He even loved his father dearly and tried everything in his power to make his father proud of him, even though he hated having to be so mean to everyone.
It was so against his true nature to be mean and cruel. He was a nurturer at heart, always taking care of the younger members of Slytherin house, trying to keep them safe and make sure they didn't become death eaters. They might not really like Muggles and muggle-born witches and wizards but they realized that they were a necessity for the continuation of their race. Pureblood families rarely had more than one child, the Weasley's being the only pureblooded family in England with more than three children, so they learned to accept the magic some of them, like Hermione Granger, possessed. If more Muggle-born's were like her, the Wizarding World would be just fine. Granger was without a doubt the smartest witch at Hogwarts and she always gave Draco a run for his money when they were in a class together. Though he would never admit it out loud he had always liked Granger and Potter, it was just Ron Weasley he couldn't stand. Weasley always acted like it was the Malfoy's fault his family was poor and Draco had always blamed Weasley for the fact that Harry and Hermione were not his friends. He thought that if Harry had never met Ron the Golden Trio would have been very different. It would have been Draco, Harry and Hermione but Draco never had a chance once Ron told them about how the he believed the Malfoy's were.
Contrary to popular belief, the Malfoy's were not evil. It was a just a mask they all wore to fool the Dark Lord into thinking that they were a loyal Death Eater family, when in fact that was hardly the truth. They were the farthest thing from cold and unfeeling.
In reality, they were a warm and loving family but because of the Dark Lord they never got to show that side of themselves to the world. It was just another reason to hate him. While they weren't on Dumbledork's side either as they thought he was a dithering old fool with delusions of grandeur. He thought he could use Harry to rule the Wizarding World after Harry defeated the Dark Lord but he was wrong about that, it seemed to Draco that Harry had a plan of his own. After 5 years Draco was an expert in Harry-watching and he could safely say he knew Potter better than anyone else except Hermione. He knew things about him that the Wizarding World could only dream of knowing, like the way his muggle aunt and uncle treated him. He had overheard Harry and Hermione talking about it one night in the old astronomy tower. It had made him so angry that those low-life muggle bastards treated his Harry like that, that he promised himself that one day he was going to hex them into another dimension
"Draco!" He was startled out of his thoughts by his mother's voice. He sighed and put down the book he had been trying to study, Narcissa Malfoy came into Draco's study. "Yes, Mother?" he answered getting up and gently hugging his Mum. "Saki is coming to live with us, my dragon" Draco's mouth dropped open. "What?!" his beloved cousin, his sister was coming to England "Why?" "Her father wants her to complete her schooling at Hogwarts, as he did"
Most people were so focused on his father that they forgot that he had a older brother who was a year ahead of him. His Uncle Damien had become a professor at MahōGakkō the number one magic school in Asia. He had married another professor there and his wife had given birth to his cousin Sakura Lucinda Malfoy on June 6th the day after Draco himself was born.
Saki and Draco had always been close, even though they lived so very far apart. They even looked alike. Like him Saki had white blonde hair and Grey eyes though Saki's had more blue in hers. Saki was the kindest, sweetest person he knew; she didn't have an evil bone in her body, but that didn't mean she couldn't be devious if the situation called for it. She was a Malfoy after all.
"That's wonderful Mum, When does she arrive?" Draco was truly excited. He could imagine the chaos him and his cousin could cause at Hogwarts and he would have someone else to help him protect and mentor the younger members of Slytherin house.
"She'll be here later today, my dragon" His Mum said leaving him alone once again.
Draco's thoughts turned to his true obsession- Harry Potter. Draco had one big secret about himself and there were only two people in the universe that knew that Draco Malfoy was completely head over heels in love with Harry Potter. Even Draco himself hadn't understood when it happened. He had gone from wanting Harry to be his friend to just wanting Harry period. He loved everything about him, from his messy black hair and beautiful green eyes to the sense of loyalty and doing what's right that he possessed despite having every reason to hate everyone.
"Draco!" He was jarred out of his thoughts by his Mother calling his name. He left his study and went to the staircase.
"Yes Mother, what is it?"
"Saki's here, darling."
At that Draco ran down the stairs to the entrance hall as fast as he could. But, just as he got to the hall he was knocked to the floor by a blonde colored missile named Sakura Malfoy. Pushing up so that she was straddling her cousin's hips she smirked down at him.
"Hey Dray"
"Hi Saki"
Saki got up off her cousin and stood up. She turned and ran over to Lucius and Narcissa hugging them both.
"Hi Uncle Luci. Hi Aunt Cissa"
Lucius looked down at his niece and smiled, "How's my favorite niece today."
"I'm wonderful Uncle Luci. I'm so glad I'm going to Hogwarts tomorrow."
"Just don't forget what you're here for, darling." Narcissa cut in.
"I remember Aunt Cissa. I have to protect Harry Potter and make sure nothing stops him from defeating the Dark Lord."
"You are from this moment on Harry's guardian angel. Saki you must keep him and his friends from any kind of harm."
"Yes, Uncle Luci"
Narcissa spoke, "Also keep an eye on Dumbledore. We don't want that power hungry fool messing with our plans."
"Yes, Aunt Cissa."
"Now, why don't you go to your room and get settled."
"Okay, Uncle Luci. Come on Dray let's go get me settled"
Draco followed her to her room, which was right next door to his. As they entered Saki's pink and silver room Draco asked his cousin how life in Tokyo was going. "Mahō Gakkō is the same as always, I rule, everyone bows because I'm the headmaster's daughter and they talk about me behind my back. I think I'll like Hogwarts much more. Plus you, Sevvie and Blaise will be there. Speaking of Sevvie, does he know I'm coming to Hogwarts this year?"
"No, we didn't tell him you were staying with us or that you would be attending school with me this fall."
"Good, I want him to be surprised to see me."
"Don't you think the fact that you are planning to seduce your own Godfather is a bit twisted?"
"I know it's twisted Draco," she shook her head, "do you know how hard it was for me to realize that I didn't love Sev like a little girl loves her father but that I loved him like a woman loves her man and that all I wanted to do was shag him senseless and keep him forever?"
"Well you were always his favorite that should put your foot in the door."
"I hope so," Saki said, getting an almost morose look on her beautiful face.
"It'll be okay Saki, Sev always asks about you and about how your doing."
"Really, Dray?"
"Yes he does, so stop stressing about it. Sev's gonna fall completely in love with you, how could he not? You are brilliant, amazingly beautiful, and probably the most powerful witch in the world. You are the Avatar of Air and completely deserving of Severus' love. So I don't want to hear you doubt yourself ever again Sakura Malfoy or you will not like the consequences."
Saki reached over, hugged her cousin tightly and kissed him on the cheek, "You are the best brother a girl could have Dray. I really don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you in my life. I'd probably completely lose my mind without you. You are the one that keeps me grounded and mentally stable without you around I would be driven totally insane by the powers within me."
We may not be twins in birth but we are twins in our hearts and souls where it truly counts. Why wouldn't I we be there for you? You were there for me when I got my powers and made the ground shake every time I sneezed. When I didn't know what I was becoming you told me that I wasn't a freak but that I was special. Oh fuck it we're getting all maudlin and depressed" Draco pouted. "We have to get ready anyway, Father rented out Shadows tonight is the annual Slytherin back to school party and we have to look our best" Saki got up, sat in front of her vanity and began running a brush through her silver blonde curls. "Did you send our special guests their invitations?" "Yes two very special invites went to Harry Potter and Hermione Granger"
"We have to make sure Harry and Hermione are on our side as soon as possible."
"That should be relatively easy considering the rumors that are circling around about those two this summer."
"What rumors?"
"Well Mother and Father said the Ministry is trying to keep it a total secret but it seems that they both disappeared on Harry's birthday and have been seen going in and out of the Leaky Cauldron for the past month with some interesting new looks. They've even been using their wands without permission but the Ministry is letting them get away with it. They don't want their precious 'Savior' to get any bad press or worse get mad at them especially after the incident that took place at the Department of Mysteries a few months ago. " Draco said with a satisfied smirk, knowing deep down that this would be the year that Harry would finally be his in every single way known to wizard kind.
"Really?"
"Yes, it seems that the formerly goody two shoes Gryffindors have embraced their dark sides finally and seen the light."
"You mean seen the dark."
"Yes, yes still put it between you showing up there and Harry and Hermione's new attitudes Hogwarts is in for the ride of it's life."
