“Who are you?” As soon as Jewel answered the door, she was asked that question. The young man standing in the doorway did not seem at all familiar to her; and with his red hair she knew that had she met him before she would have remembered.
“I could be asking you the same question. I'm Jewel Whitley, Draco's younger half sister. And you are?”
“Oh, I'm Ron Weasley. Wait, Draco Malfoy's half sister?” Ron asked after a moment as what she said registered.
“Yes. It's complicated.” She laughed, and gestured for him to enter. “Are you friends with my brother?”
“Hardly; though I am here to see him, in a way, it's Harry who I'm friends with.”
“Ah I see. I only just met Draco a few days ago so I'm still learning who all he is friends with.” Just then Caelum starting crying, much to Ron's surprise. “There is a baby here? Since when?”
“Hang on.” Jewel rushed upstairs, and when she returned she was nursing Caelum using a cover. While she did not mind who saw her body, she wasn't sure if she should reveal to Ron just yet that her body was male. Somehow, he did not seem to her like the type who would be easily able to accept that she was transgender.
“This is Caelum. Have you read the paper recently?” She asked as she headed downstairs towards the kitchen.
Ron nodded, realization slowly dawning in his eyes. “Caelum's the missing Malfoy child, isn't he?”
“He's hardly missing, but yes. And don't worry, the Ministry has already been informed that Narcissa granted Draco custody of Caelum before she... well, you know.” Briefly she explained what had happened in the woods.
“Where is Mal- Draco?”
“Upstairs, with Harry.” Jewel shook her head as Ron went to look for them. “They want to be alone for the time being.”
“Alone? Oh...” Ron blushed hard as he sat back down. “So how did you find your brother?”
“I've known about Draco for most of my life, well that I had an older brother at any rate. But, for obvious reasons, Lucius wanted to keep quiet that he had more than one child, as I am only six months younger than Draco.”
“Six months? Then...?”
“Yeah, Lucius slept with my mom while his wife was pregnant. Talk about being impatient. And my natural hair color is dark brown, not blond. Plus, he never wanted a daughter anyway.”
“No, he didn't.” Ron started, turning towards the door. “He never reached out to the Twin's either. Father only ever acknowledged Caelum and myself as his.”
“What twins?”
“My Father has five children by four women; Caelum and Jewel, as well as Twin girls whose names I've never been told, and of course myself. No wait, it's actually six. I'm forgetting Rose.”
“Rose?”
“My older sister. You see, I'm actually my mother's second child; she had a girl first, who she named Rose. Rose died shortly after birth; her heart was simply too weak. Since roses are my mother's favorite flower Mother decided to name her Rose. She's buried in the private graveyard located behind Malfoy Manor and I sometimes go talk to her.” Draco commented, only the slight sadness in his voice indicated that he felt anything at all for his lost sister. “Had she lived, Rose would have been thirteen months my senior. My parents never liked talking about her though, and I can't say I blame them.”
“So he ended up with four girls and two boys?” Ron asked to make sure he had things straight.
Draco glanced over at Jewel, who shook her head minutely. “You could say that, yes.” Draco answered carefully. If Jewel didn't want everyone to know that her body was male, then who was he to say otherwise?
“Why did you come here today?” Draco turned back to Ron, trying to sound bored and keep his body relaxed.
“To apologize. I've thought hard about what I said to you last time, and... and I'm sorry. I did not realize how offensive that word really was. I've also researched homosexuality.” Ron swallowed hard, looking as though he had just been sucking on a lemon. “While I do not approve of you dating Harry, I will not ask you to break up. The emotions are real, aren't they?”
“Yes, they are. Love is love, regardless of whether it is between a man and a women, between two men, or between to women; it's all the same.”
Ron nodded. “You won't see me around much, but...” Ron shook his head, obviously thinking hard about what he was trying to say.
“You want Harry to be happy and, even though you don't like it or approve, you do think he can be happy with me, is that what your trying to say?” Ron nodded. “I understand, and apology accepted. Take all the time you need. If you want to hang out just with Harry, without me around, I can understand that as well. I will do my best to not end your friendship with Harry just because I am dating him.”
Ron stared at Draco in disbelief for a long moment, then laughed softly. “Harry was right, you really have changed since...” Ron broke off, shaking his head.
“I'll take that as a compliment. But know that I am not done changing. I've stopped trying to live as a clone of my father, but that does not mean that I know who I am yet. I don't, not really, and it may be a long time before I do.”
Ron nodded, then he turned to go. Halfway to the door though he paused and turned back.
“What do you know about the twin girls?”
Draco shrugged. “Not much, just that they are thirteen, were born on the third day of May, and have red hair, though I think theirs is auburn rather than the shade your hair is.”
Ron nodded, then; “I dunno if this will work, but why don't you put out an advertisement in the paper with that description? If they know that Lucius is their father then...”
Draco's jaw dropped and even Harry was looking at Ron in awe. “That's a brilliant idea!” Harry finally spoke up. “It may not work, but at least it will be a place to start as I know that Draco does wish to find them. He... he wants his family to be family and that means being together, knowing each other.”
Turning back towards Draco, Harry shrugged as he saw that Draco was already busy drafting the note to put in the paper.
“I'll see you out.” Harry walked out of the kitchen with Ron following. Neither spoke again until they reached the door.
“Thank you for apologizing directly to Draco. I know that you hate the idea of homosexuality, but thank you for backing off, even if you can't accept my feelings for Draco.”
“What Draco said is true, your my best friend and I do want you to be happy.” Ron slowly opened the door. “And I think it is a fair compromise, that we can hang out without him around.” Then he was gone, the door closing softly behind Ron. Smiling softly, Harry turned to walk back towards the kitchen, wondering if he should tell Ron how close he had come that very day to breaking up with Draco.
Deciding to confide in Hermione instead, Harry entered the kitchen just as Draco realized that he had no money to use to actually place the ad. Laughing he gifted Draco the cash, having known all along that he would end up being the one to pay for the ad.
He wanted to meet the twin girls as badly as Draco did, especially now that he knew how close Draco had come to having a true sister. But something about what Draco had said about Rose bugged him...
If her death had been natural, then why did no one know that there had been an older pure-blood Malfoy child? Why was her death so hushed up that he was only now hearing about her?
Pushing those thoughts away for the moment, he shooed everyone out of the kitchen and began prepping for lunch.
