James and Albus were their father’s sons. So, when late Christmas night they noticed their father slipping out of their rooms unexpectedly, they didn’t have to discuss it much before they decided on following him. Harry had been acting strange for a while now, always slipping off unexpectedly, and they were going to get to the bottom of it. It was harder than they thought to tail their father through the halls. Though Harry didn’t seem worried about being followed James and Albus were worried about being caught following him so they made sure to hang back.
While hanging back it was surprisingly easy to lose track of him for a few moments. Especially when they had to wait for ghosts to pass by. James had no question that the spectral residents of the castle would let Harry know he was being followed by his sons if they spotted them.
James and Albus were intensely confused when Harry went into the Girl’s Bathroom and waited outside for several moments. When he didn’t reappear, the two brothers exchanged a looked and sneaked forward to peer inside. Harry was still there talking to Moaning Myrtle. “You’ll tell him won’t you?” Myrtle asked, swaying some in the air.
Harry nodded. “I’ll be sure to tell him, Myrtle. Don’t worry.”
“Thank you, Harry,” Myrtle said before diving into one of the bathroom stalls. She was gushing about something but for once didn’t seem to be sobbing or flooding the toilets.
Harry sighed some and shook his head before going to the sinks. His sons watching from the doorway were amazed when Harry hissed at the faucet and the entire set of sinks shifted and opened up to expose a huge hole in the ground. Albus would have made some sort of exclamation about it but his brother was quick to slap a hand over his mouth. What was their father doing?
Harry barely waited before jumping into the hole. James and Albus stared in amazement. There was a… secret hole in the girls bathroom? That was… that was so weird. They continued to stare for a moment until the entrance started to close back up. “Come on, James,” Albus hissed before pulling his brother along. If the entrance closed they would have no way of finding out what their father was up to.
The two boys hurried forward and jumped into the dark pit before either of them could think about how bad an idea it could possibly be. They had no idea what was down the hole only that their father had gone into it. They landed entirely ungracefully at the bottom of what turned out to be a huge pipe. Thankfully their father had already seemed to move on and even more thankfully, there was only one way he could have gone.
The brothers crept through the tunnel, trying not to be nervous about following their father into a place where there was a mass of tiny rodent skeletons and… was that a giant snake skin? “What is this place?” James asked as they skirted the massive shed skin.
“I don’t know… but I don’t like it,” Albus whispered back.
It seemed, after a few minutes of walking, that there had been a cave in at some point but it had been cleared out. There were large rocks everywhere and a rather small passage had been made through it. The boys hesitated some but continued on since there was no indication that their father had stopped anywhere.
Suddenly, the two of them noticed a light up ahead and ducked down to hide behind some large carving of a snake. They weren’t terribly fond of this place and they were worried as to why their father would come here. Just then they spotted their father walking up ahead and heading towards a fire burning by the base of a shaft of light.
“Draco,” Harry called as he came into the Chamber of Secrets. “Draco?”
“I’m awake,” came the hissed reply.
The two Potter brother’s watched in shock as what they’d thought was just a very pale pile of rocks shifted and a pale human torso was pushed up. They hadn’t understood what the creature had hissed but they could just barely make out some of his features. If it weren’t for the strange lower body he probably would have been handsome. “It’s Christmas you know,” Harry said as he waved his wand and replenished the fire charm on the firepit.
“Oh joy, my favorite. Maybe I’ll get a rat…”
Harry sighed. “Don’t be like that. I actually brought you something.”
“What?” Draco asked suspiciously.
Harry pulled out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and carefully put them on Draco’s face. “There. Now you can see and not hurt anyone,” he announced. “I know you don’t want to use anything a muggle invented but it’s your best option.”
Draco made a face before reluctantly opening his eyes. “Everything’s all dark…”
“Well, yes, they are sunglasses and you’re wearing them inside. But can you see?” Harry asked.
Draco looked around before nodding. “I can see your sons spying on us.”
Harry’s eyes widened and he whipped around. “James! Albus!” The two boys jumped in surprise at suddenly being caught. Not only that but Harry’s voice had been at it’s harshest. “What in Merlin’s name are you two doing down here?” Harry demanded as he stormed over to where his sons were crouched in shock.
James and Albus struggled for an explanation and seemed to fail. Draco chuckled by the fire and Harry glared over his shoulder. “You be quiet!”
“Like father like sons, Harry.”
“Shut up, you big snake!” Harry snapped before glaring at his sons. “Well? What were you thinking coming down here?”
Finally, James seemed to find his voice beyond that of sputtering. “We were following you!” he said pointing at his father. “You’re always sneaking off to go somewhere and you never tell us where. We just wanted to know where you were going!”
“You are to never sneak off in the middle of the night again!” Harry decreed. “Even if you are following me it’s dangerous down here and you could have gotten hurt!”
“If it’s so dangerous why are you down here?” James demanded.
“I’m helping a friend,” Harry said shortly. “You are just being nosy.”
Albus peered around his father at the pale figure crossed with a snake that was still curled up by the fire. “Is that… what was in the forest?” he asked. He remembered that pale scaly tail from the time they’d gone in with Scorpius. Why was that monster in the school now? And why was his father calling it a friend?
“Don’t you worry about that. You two wait here. I’m taking you back up to the room,” Harry said before heading back over to where Draco was sitting looking amused. “Shut up,” he muttered.
“I didn’t say anything.”
“You don’t have to. Why aren’t you freaked out about someone finding you?” Harry asked as he finished disappearing the dishes and summoning the hot bath for Draco to use.
“Nostalgia probably. Besides… I doubt they’ll tell anyone once you finish scolding them. And if they do nobody will believe them,” Draco reasoned.
Harry sighed and shook his head. “I’ll see you later, Dray,” Harry said before going back to grab his sons by an arm each and storm them back towards the beginning of the tunnel. He could hear Draco chuckling behind him but resisted the urge to snap at his ex again. This was not quite how he imagined his Christmas night going.
