Chapter Nineteen: That�s My Brother

Where Elias meets his big brother.

Hermione sat in her small office, a large shopping bag at her feet and an iced coffee in her hand. Jessa was sitting on top of her desk, her leg extended as she stared at her brand new shoes, a pair of ice pick heels that looked deadly. Jessa was still a mystery to Hermione in many ways. She never seemed to question the fact that she never went to Hermione�s home though Hermione had been to Jessa�s flat several times. She didn�t wonder about Hermione�s friends, especially Ron who often forgot himself in muggle places and would say something that sounded odd to anyone outside of the magical world.

What she found especially odd was that Jessa didn�t question her about Lucius�s background. He was obviously wealthy; he flaunted that in ways that were unmistakable to both wizard and muggle. But she never asked what it was he did or where he had been for those first years of Elias�s life. Most people asked those sorts of things.

�You know, you never talk about your family, Jessa.� Hermione observed. She noticed that there weren�t photos in her flat of family, only a few of her with friends.

�That�s because there is nothing to talk about.� Jessa shrugged and reached into the box for the other shoe. �Mum was young when she had me. Dad was from a pur�an aristocratic family who thought she was good enough to share his bed but not his name so he hightailed it out of town as soon as he found out she was pregnant. Mum died when I was twenty and�.well, Dad�s family is better not spoken of.�

�I didn�t mean to upset you.� Hermione said softly. Jessa looked sad and a bit nervous as she slipped the other stiletto onto her foot and fastened the buckle.

�It�s alright, Dearest, just suffice it to say that I don�t come from the best place. I would rather forget it.� She said, smiling softly.

�Fair enough.� Hermione looked down at her bags and felt the wave of buyer�s remorse. �You are a bad influence on me.�

�Nonsense, you bought yourself two outfits and a nightie and spent the rest of the money on new clothes for Elias. That�s hardly overindulging.� Jessa laughed. �Are you excited?�

�I�m nervous. Elias is meeting his older brother for the first time and I haven�t stepped foot in that house in a long, long time. I don�t know what to expect.� She said softly.

�Lucius asked you to sleep over?� Jessa waggled her brows.

�Yes, he did, he wants Elias to get familiar with his heritage.� She said, drumming her fingers on the desk.

�Nonsense, he wants you in his house because he has servants to take care of Elias so that you are comfortable that he is being tended to, close by, and he can have you all to himself without worrying that the little man is going to cock block him again!� Jessa was laughing hysterically.

�Very funny.� Hermione rolled her eyes and grabbed her bags. �I need to get home, I have to get ready and I have to get Elias ready, Lucius likes to dress for dinner.�

�And I�m sure he plans to undress for dessert.� Jessa winked and jumped down off the desk. �Go on, enjoy your weekend, I�ll lock up.�

�I�ll see you Monday.� Hermione said, one arm thrown around her friends shoulders as she hugged her.

�Don�t do anything I wouldn�t do.� Jessa called. Hermione stopped in the doorway and looked back over her shoulder.

�Is there anything you wouldn�t do?� She asked.

�No�I do it all and if I had a man like yours I�d do it again and again.�

�You know, that rug you are pacing a hole into is about two hundred years old and irreplaceable.� Draco quipped as he watched his father move nervously from one end of the room to the other. He hadn�t seen his father so agitated since the war when every moment was lived in fear of the Dark Lord. It seemed the he had it pretty bad for the little muggle witch and their half-blood progeny.

�Hush, Draco. Your poking fun at me isn�t helping matters.� Lucius sniped, fidgeting with his robes. He knew he was amusing his son and had their roles been reversed he would probably be taking the piss out of Draco, but none the less, it wasn�t easing his nerves in the slightest bit.

�I don�t know why you are getting yourself all worked up, you spend almost every night with them, why is tonight so different?� Draco also felt a bit nervous. He and Hermione didn�t exactly have a past that was all rainbows and daisies. Add that to the fact that he was meeting his brother for the first time and he too could lay claim to a bit of the bubble guts.

�Because I want them to like it here.� Lucius answered, stopping in front of the window to stare out into the darkness. �This house is part of Elias�s heritage, it is where his history comes from, and I want it to be a home for him. And Hermione�well I just don�t want to hurt her with bad memories. You remember what happened the last time she was here don�t you?� Lucius closed his eyes as the horror of seeing her young body tortured flitted through his mind.

�I try not to think about those times if I can help it.� Draco said quietly, the merriment gone from his eyes.

�I don�t want you to either. I wish you had never seen the things you have. I don�t want this to be a place of evil; I don�t want this house to hurt those who dwell within.� He heard the soft rumble of the floo being accessed. Draco got to his feet and stood beside his father, both of them with shoulders back and nervous eyes trained on the hearth.

Those few seconds seemed to stretch on for hours before a head full of sandy curls poked out of the darkened hearth and looked around. Elias�s smile was broad when he saw his father and his body quickly followed his head as he darted out of the fireplace, his brand new robes billowing behind him as he ran full speed across the parlor and jumped into Lucius�s arms.

�Daddy!� Lucius swung the little boy up into his arms, laughing with joy to hear him calling him Daddy. Would he ever tire of it?

�Hello, Elias.� Lucius smiled, letting the little boy squeeze his neck.

�I got new robes!� He said when he pulled back.

�You look very handsome.� Lucius chuckled.

�He was very difficult actually in Madame Malkin�s shop. He kept telling her that her clothes made his bum itch so he now has robes lined with jersey knit quidditch pajamas.� Lucius looked over Elias�s shoulder to see Hermione walking towards him. She looked stunning in a set of deep purple robes and matching heels, her glossy curls pulled back from her face with a matching headband. �Good evening, Lucius.� She said quietly when she reached him.

He set Elias back onto the floor and without thinking he leaned down to kiss her lips gently.

�Hello, Darling.� He said.

�Ahem.� Draco cleared his throat, smirking all the while he watched his father.

�Good evening, Draco, how are you?� She blushed furiously and avoided making eye contact.

�Very good, thank you. You look nice, Granger.� He said politely. She visibly started in reaction to the first nice thing Draco Malfoy had ever said to her.

�Um�thank you.� She said, her flush deepening. Lucius laid his hand on Elias�s shoulder and steered him around until he was standing directly in front of Draco.

�Draco, this is Elias.� Lucius said hoarsely. He watched Draco�s face as he slowly squatted down to Elias�s level. He was staring at the little boy intensely, taking in every detail, every little feature, and every little recognizable trait and for a moment Lucius worried that he might reject him.

�Hello, Elias. I am Draco Malfoy; I�m your big brother.� He said, cocking his head to the side and smiling.

�Uncle Harry and Uncle Ron sometimes talk about Dildo Malfoy, do you know him?� Elias asked. Hermione groaned and closed her eyes tightly and Lucius chuckled.

�I see the Weasel and Pothead are just as funny as ever.� Draco drawled. �It�s a pleasure to finally meet you.� He said, choosing to ignore the prior inquiry.

�We came for dinner. Mum said I have to be on my best behavior.� Elias frowned a little. �Do you have a wife?�

�Uh�no, I don�t�.do you?� Draco asked.

�No!� Elias laughed loudly, his deep belly laugh so uncharacteristic of a small child that it had the adults smiling in amusement. �But Daddy slept in Mum�s bed.� The laughter stopped and Hermione covered her face.

�He did? Well, I�m not sure you should be telling people that, it�s a bit personal.� Draco said, arching a brow at his flushing father.

�Oh�like a secret?� Elias asked.

�Yes, something like that. Are you hungry?� Draco asked.

�YES! I�m so hungry I could eat a whore.� He said dramatically.

�Horse, Elias, I am so hungry I could eat a HORSE.� Lucius corrected, shaking his head and using his eyes to tell Draco not to laugh.

�That�s what I said!� Elias looked around him at the adults as though they had all lost their minds. �Where is the kitchen?�

�I�I don�t really know.� Draco answered.

�We have a dining room where we take our meals, Elias. We don�t eat in the kitchen here.� Lucius explained.

�If you don�t know where the kitchen is how is Mum gonna make our dinner?� Elias asked.

�We have house elves for that.� Draco rose to his full height and shouted for a servant. A small elf wearing a bright red dishcloth wrapped around him appeared. �Bob, this is Elias, he wanted to see who was making our dinner.�

�Do you want to play trains?� Elias asked, excited to see a creature his own size. What he didn�t understand was why the creature squeaked and backed up several steps.

�Another young master!� Bob said, trembling as he lowered his head and backed away. �Bob will tell the others at once!� He popped out of sight as quickly as he came.

�He doesn�t like trains?� Elias asked.

�You named a house-elf Bob?� Hermione asked.

�It was a joke�his brother�s name is Neil.� Draco smirked. It took Hermione a moment to process it but finally it registered and she groaned.

�Shall we go to dinner?� Lucius asked.

�Yes! Where is the diving room?� Elias asked, sliding his hand into his father�s.

�The dining room is through here.� Lucius led Elias from the parlor. Draco offered Hermione his arm and followed them.

�He is a rather random little thing isn�t he? His topic changes make my head spin.� Draco said, watching his little brother as they walked down the hall. Every few steps he would see something that interested him and stop suddenly, jerking their father�s arm in that direction.

�You have no idea. You�ve only conversed with him for a few moments. Just wait.� Hermione said affectionately as she watched Lucius grab Elias around the waist before he could climb onto a hall table to try and get a sword off of the wall.

�I can�t wait. In the first half hour he called me a dildo, outed you and dad, said he wanted to eat a whore and asked a house elf to play trains. The kid is a riot!� Draco laughed as they turned into the small dining room.

Lucius held out a chair for Hermione, seating her beside him while Elias scrambled into a chair across from them beside Draco. He began to frown and fussed with his robes, shrugging out of his outer robe and shoving it onto the floor. Draco watched him in his little slacks and button down shirt as he brought his feet up and took off his shoes, dropping them on top of his robes before finally settling into his chair.

�That�s better!� He chirped, grinning across the table at his exasperated parents.

�This kid is bloody amazing!� Draco laughed. He wished with all his heart that he had been a child like Elias. The boy said and did whatever popped into his head.

�Uh oh!� Elias leaned towards Draco with a serious expression on his face. �You are going to get in trouble, you can�t say bad words at the table, Mum gets mad.� Draco grinned and bent his head towards Elias conspiratorially.

�She does? Are there other rules I need to be aware of? I�ve seen your Mum when she�s angry so I don�t want to make her mad, she scares me.� Draco replied.

�Don�t talk with food in your mouth, she says it�s gross.�

�Right, no talking with my mouth full. Anything else?� Draco asked.

�You should keep your penis to yourself. It�s private and Mum will get really mad if you don�t.� Elias said seriously.

�Keep my penis to myself�.okay�.I�ll try really hard.� Draco was trying to keep his laughter at bay but it was impossible. The child was just too precious and Draco was already taken with him. He understood now why his father hadn�t been able to walk away, he wouldn�t have either and suddenly wished that when he saw her years before in Diagon Alley that he had known the baby in the carriage was his little brother.

Dinner was, as it always was with Elias at the table, quite the event. He went on and on about trains for a bit before he began regaling Draco with tales of life at home. Such as the fact that his father was always snogging his mum and it was kind of gross, that Harry and Ginny got married because they were having six and she missed her parade and about Ron and his lobsters.

�The kid would make a brilliant spy.� Draco said, in awe of the things Elias observed with no one the wiser. Hermione frowned and Lucius was thrilled to have someone else on his side in his assessment of Elias�s espionage potential. When dessert was over Draco offered to take Elias for a walk in manor gardens. Lucius took advantage of their moments alone and held her close to him, kissing her lips and whispering sweet seductive words in her ear. He released her only when he heard the sound of Elias running down the hall. He was becoming accustomed to the interruptions.

�Mummy! Daddy!� He cried, shoving open the large double doors to the back parlor and stumbling inside. �Draco took me for a ride on his broom!� Draco stepped up behind him, his hair windblown and tousled, his cheeks flushed.

�Did you enjoy your time with your brother then?� Lucius asked, overjoyed to see his sons taking to one another.

�Yes! We buzzed the owlery and made all the owls shriek and scatter! There were feathers and poop everywhere!� Elias said excitedly. �And Draco let me pee in the bushes!�

�I beg your pardon?� Lucius asked, not sure that he heard correctly.

�I had to pee so Draco told me I could go in the bushes! It was so cool!� Elias exclaimed as he crawled up onto the sofa to sit between his parents.

�What charming habits you teach your younger brother already.� Lucius said through clenched teeth. Draco, however, did not look in the slightest bit repentant.

�What was I to do? I know nothing of children! He said he had to go and had to go right then and we were out on the North side of the property!� Draco defended himself. �It wasn�t as though I let him do his business in public; it was on our property in private.�

�Draco peed in the bushes too!� Elias giggled. �And he taught me a new song! There once was a witch from Paris, and I wasn�t quite certain what color her hair is! I�d almost given up hope when the wind caught her robes�.�

�Elias!� Hermione clapped her hand over his mouth and stared wide eyed at a laughing Draco.

�Draco! You taught your little brother bawdy limericks? Are you insane?� Lucius asked, shaking his head in disbelief.

�I can�t help myself, Elias is the most amazing kid I have ever seen and as his big brother it is my duty to corrupt him as much as possible. That kid is definitely going to rule Slytherin house.� Draco laughed.

�He could be a Gryffindor.� Hermione interjected. Both Lucius and Draco gave her an incredulous look. �Okay, probably not.� She admitted.

�It�s late; I�ll show you where you will be sleeping.� Lucius said as he held out his hand to help Hermione from the sofa. The four of them slowly walked up the stairs together, Draco holding Elias by the hands and swinging him back and forth in front of him. Lucius was basking in the bonding of his children and trying very hard to reign in his own desires regarding the witch next to him.

They turned down a long corridor and stopped outside of a large wooden door.

�This is your room, Elias.� Lucius said softly. �Not just for tonight, but this is your room.� He turned the knob and pushed the door open, the fixtures on the walls immediately lighting and illuminating the room.

�Oh�my�.god! Lucius, what did you do!� Hermione gasped as she stepped inside. The room was a little boy�s fantasy come true. Trains decorated the wall and a track was magically suspended around the perimeter of the room with a little replica of the Hogwarts express making a trip around it in silence. The bed was covered in dark blue bedding with trains quilted into the coverlet and throw pillows. A toy chest sat at the foot of his bed, no doubt filled with toys. Near the window was a large, plush chair and flanking it were bookcases overflowing with children�s books, classics from both the muggle and wizarding world. There was a large area that had a desk, a small table and chairs, a small art easel and a cart overflowing with supplies and an enormous rectangular table with an elaborate track set up. It was complete with mountains, villages, castles and even an actual flowing river.

Elias screamed in delight and ran around the room from one area to the next in absolute glee. Lucius smiled as he watched, pleased that he had obviously gotten it right for his youngest son.

�You spoil him.� Hermione said softly, in awe of what he had done for their child. Part of her wanted to scold him, to chastise him for being overindulgent but she fought it back. This was how Lucius loved. This was how he showed love. It was what he knew and from the look of Elias�s suite he loved their son very much.

�I just want him to be happy here.� Lucius said, searching her face for a sign of how she was feeling.

�Oh, he is happy alright.� Hermione laughed, watching Elias jump up and down on the large, bouncy bed. A house elf appeared wearing a small nurses cap and full length apron and Hermione jumped, startled by its sudden appearance.

�I am Nonie, Mistress; I am Master Elias�s nanny-elf.� She said, dropping into a little curtsy.

�A nanny-elf?� She looked over at Lucius with a frown on her face. �Lucius��

�I know you disapprove, but Nonie is paid a wage. She isn�t a free elf and she doesn�t wish to be but she begrudgingly accepts a wage because she really wants to be Elias�s nanny.� Lucius hoped that would be enough to ease her mind on the subject.

�Alright then�hello, Nonie, I am Hermione.�

�I will take very good care of the young Master, Mistress. You can count on me.� She was obviously eager to please and Hermione knew that Lucius wouldn�t let her be responsible for Elias unless he trusted her completely. Hermione watched as she scurried over to the bureau and gathered up a pair of pajamas for Elias.

�Master Elias, it is time for your bath. Come with Nonie.� The elf said, gesturing towards the en suite bathroom. Elias lifted his legs and bounced off of the mattress on his bottom.

�Nonie, come get me when he is ready for bed, unless you are instructed otherwise I will be the one to read to Elias before bed when he is here.� Lucius directed.

�Yes, Master.� Nonie said, hiding a little smile of pleasure at seeing her master softer and so obviously loving towards his new family. Being a Malfoy servant after the war was a world different from being one prior, she was now very proud to serve the house of Malfoy and its softer, gentler masters.

�Elias, I want you to go take your bath and get ready for bed, I will be back shortly. If you need anything Draco�s room is next door and mine is at the end of the hall.� Lucius said.

�Where is mum sleeping?� He asked curiously. Draco snickered and waited to hear the answer as well.

�That is up to her.� He said hoarsely. �I know what I prefer.� He whispered so that only she could hear.

�I-I�ll be with your father, Elias. If you need me.� She said, her cheeks heating.

�In this house you knock before you enter a room, Elias, can you remember that?� Lucius asked.

�Knock�I can knock!� He said.

�Knock and wait for permission before you enter. Understand?�

�So I don�t catch you naked?� Elias quipped.

�Something like that.� Lucius smirked, shaking his head. �Oh, and Draco�.when Elias is in the house you are not allowed to have overnight guests. No exceptions.�

�Like I�d ever bring those women to where I actually live.� Draco snorted. �Goodnight, Elias, I will see you in the morning.� He wasn�t prepared for the tiny little bullet of a wizard that ran across the room and wrapped his arms around his waist.

�G�night, Draco. You are a cool big brother.� Elias said as he hugged Draco tightly. Draco laid his hands on top of Elias�s soft curls, feeling the little spirals shift and bounce beneath his touch. He swallowed hard, more choked up than he expected by the little boy�s easy, generous affections.

�And you are a pretty cool little brother, Elias.� He said softly, his voice hoarse. Elias tossed his head back and grinned before running off to join Nonie in the bathroom. Lucius smiled and laid his hand on Draco�s shoulder.

�Doesn�t take long does it?� He said softly.

�No, it doesn�t.� Draco answered, taking a deep breath and heading towards his own rooms.

�Would you like to go to my rooms? You can um�.get ready for bed or whatever while I read to Elias.� Lucius said. At her nod he led her to his rooms but he didn�t follow her in. If he went inside he wouldn�t come back out until he had sated himself completely on her body. So he let her inside and returned to Elias�s room to see to story detail, then the night was for them alone.

AN: I�ll just go ahead and give you a spoiler now�.there�s real smut coming�and Draco and Elias�s antics aren�t over either�he is enjoying the role of big brother too much =) well, its off to work for me!!!!!
