Chapter 3: School Supplies
The owl had come with breakfast, managing to deposit both letters in front of Narcissa before leaving again. Narcissa smiled, the boys were sitting across from her, but they weren’t paying attention, they were talking to each other in whispers in a language only they could understand. Narcissa cleared her throat and both boys automatically sat up straighter and looked over at their Mother. In lieu of saying anything Narcissa held up the envelopes. Lucius gave a small smile as the boys eyes widened and they reached for their first Hogwarts letters. Both of them were so excited to be going, it even overrode their 11^th birthday from just a couple weeks ago. Narcissa handed the boys their letters and allowed them to open them.
Draco and Cygnus gleefully tore into the envelopes and pulled out the letters and started poring over their supply lists.
“Mum, Dad, can we please go to Diagon Alley?” The boys asked in concert, looking between their parents.
“We’ll see. For now, finish your breakfast.” Their mother said, going back to her book. Lucius smiled, he wondered if they practiced or if their belief of their twin status made these things possible. The boys pulled long faces.
“Don’t pout.” Lucius said, carefully making it look like he had never looked up from the Daily Prophet. The boys schooled their features and went back to eating their breakfasts. Both boys didn’t even have to think about it to use their ‘best’ manners as they had been raised to behave just so even inside their own home.
“May we be excused Father?” The boys asked together after they had finished eating.
Lucius nodded absently, he was reading an article about another Law against Dark Magic that was before the Wizenmagot.
The boys gleefully left the table and ran upstairs, talking the whole time about the content of their school letters. Narcissa stayed silent, she had already set the book down beside her plate, until the sound of their feet had made it all the way upstairs. “Do we have the ability to take them today, or will it have to wait until tomorrow?”
“We can take them this afternoon.” Lucius answered, setting the Daily Prophet aside. “They really act like twins.” Lucius observed with a soft voice.
“We’ve been telling them since they were just over a year old that they are twins.” Narcissa replied, one eyebrow slightly raised as if wondering how her husband hadn’t come to the same logical conclusion. “And the boys have been good for one another. They’re so busy teaching each other their natural talents they don’t get into any trouble.” Narcissa smiled at her husband.
“True.” He admitted. Strains of piano music were reaching them, it sounded like both boys were playing together. They could tell Cygnus’ sure hand on the keys, and Draco’s slightly hesitant hand trailing half a beat behind his brother. “We can go after lunch.” Lucius said, standing and giving his wife a quick kiss before heading off to the Ministry.
Narcissa smiled and decided to hold onto the decision until after Lucius got home.

Lucius came home for lunch as usual and noticed that his boys were cautious to keep their faces neutral.
He saw the mischievous glint in his wife’s eyes and figured she had yet to tell the boys they were going shopping this afternoon.
Lucius sat down with them at the table, exchanging a glance with his wife and small smile. Narcissa and Lucius kept up a steady stream of small talk about what was going on at the Ministry, Narcissa’s plans for a small party around Christmas, so on and so forth. They ignored the boys as they fidgeted in their seats. After everyone had finished eating their lunch, Lucius looked at his family.
“So, is everyone ready?” He asked with a smile.
The boys exchanged confused, slightly hopeful glances. “For what Father?” Cygnus asked.
“I thought we were going to Diagon Alley today?” Lucius asked, faking confusion.
Both boys whooped in excitement and dashed out of their seats and up the stairs to make sure they were dressed properly and ready to go.
Lucius and Narcissa chuckled. Lucius reached over and held his wife’s hand. “Our boys.” He said with a shake of his head. Narcissa smiled and leaned towards her husband and gently kissed him on the lips. Lucius pulled her closer and the two shared an intimate kiss. They untangled themselves when they heard the boys headed back for the dining room.
“We’re ready!” They exclaimed as they barged into the room.
Lucius side-along Apparated Cygnus, while Narcissa took Draco. They landed in the Appration point in the Alley, preventing them from having to go through the Leaky Cauldron.
Lucius made some noise about needing to go check something out, saying he would meet them at Flourish and Blotts in an hour. Narcissa merely nodded and the three remaining Malfoys entered the crowd in Diagon Alley. The boys looked at their mother for guidance. “Wands first, I think.” Lady Malfoy said, leading her eager sons to Ollivanders.
“Ah, Mrs. Malfoy.” Ollivander said with a wide smile. “How is your wand doing?”
“Just fine, Mr. Ollivander.” Narcissa said, a light warmth infusing her voice.
“Cherry and Unicorn mane hair, correct?” Ollivander asked with a smile.
“Yes, but I’m actually here for my boys today.” Narcissa gestured to the boys who were looking around them, wonder evident in their eyes.
“Hmm…” Ollivander’s tape measure began to take measurements of the boys while the man himself moved around the store.
Soon the boys had tried what felt like hundreds of wands, finally one responded to Draco, spitting out green and silver fireworks. Ollivander looked at the younger Malfoy boy, and then retrieved a dusty box from the rear of the shop. As soon as it touched Cygnus’ hand it did the same as Draco’s and Cygnus’ face lit up.
“Curious, very curious indeed.” Ollivander muttered to himself.
“What is curious, Mr. Ollivander?” Cygnus asked, his eyes narrowing.
“Well, young Mr. Malfoy, I remember every wand I’ve ever sold and that particular wand has a twin. A twin that was used by You-Know-Who.” Ollivander said, ringing up the two wands.
Only Narcissa’s stern control prevented her from gasping aloud, showing her shock, as it was she paid for the boys’ wands and hurried them from the shop.
“Can we look at the brooms before we move on?” The boys pleaded with big eyes.
“Certainly.” Narcissa said with a small smile, following the boys over to Quality Quidditch Supply.
Half an hour later Narcissa dragged the boys away from the display of the new Nimbus Two Thousand with promises of ‘next year.’
As they were entering the Apothecary the boys spotted Severus.
“Uncle Severus!” Cygnus called happily. Draco sneered at his younger brother and pulled him away from the adults and chastised him. Severus saw the boys and gave the Malfoys the smirk that passed as his smile in public.
“Good afternoon Narcissa.”
Narcissa smiled at the Potions Master. “Hello Severus.” The boys rejoined the adults after Cygnus had schooled his features back into indifference.
“Good afternoon boys.” Severus said to Cygnus and Draco
“Good afternoon Uncle Severus.” The boys chorused.
“Picking up school supplies?” Severus asked Narcissa.
“Yes, but the boys waylaid us at Quality Quidditch Supplies.” Narcissa gave the boys a small teasing smile. “What brings you to Diagon Alley, Severus?”
“I needed to restock my personal stores as well as the student cabinet.” Severus looked the boys over with a critical eye and then listed off the ingredients they would need for his class and sent them scurrying to the Apothecary with strict orders to find the ingredients without help. Narcissa’s smile was small and fleeting.
“Do you have to turn everything into a lesson?” Narcissa asked playfully, helping Severus gather the things he came for.
“Of course Cissa. They can already perfectly make second-year potions, so I have to find other ways to test their knowledge.” Severus answered seriously.
Fifteen minutes later the boys showed their godfather what they had found and he praised them for finding everything.
“Alright boys, why don’t you go see Madam Malkin, me and Father will meet you in Flourish and Blotts.” Narcissa suggested, taking the potions ingredients.
The boys moved next door and entered the robe shop.
“Hello, young Malfoys, here for your school robes?” Madam Malkin greeted them warmly.
“Hello, Madam Malkin.” The boys chorused. “Yes, ma’am.” They answered her question in chorus again, smiling at each other and then at Madam Malkin.
“Alright, well, I have a couple of students in here already, so you’ll have to wait.” Madam Malkin said, moving to look at something.
The boys peered around the corner and saw red-hair. They sneered and moved into the room.
“Look what we have here, a couple of Weasels.” Draco drawled, as if he wasn’t truly interested.
“Malfoy.” The Weasley boy sneered.
“Getting more second-hand robes?” Cygnus asked derisively. “I would think that your family would have enough hand-me-downs to clothe an army of house-elves.” Draco snorted.
The Weasley up on the stool, they thought maybe it was Ron, since he appeared to be the youngest Weasley boy, made a move towards and the girl adjusting the bottom of his robes stuck him with a pin.
“Mr. Weasley, you need to hold still.” The girl said, glaring at the Malfoy twins.
Weasley’s face turned a dark red, and he looked to his brother. The other looked to be one of the Weasley twins.
“Just lay off Malfoy.” The twin growled at the blondes.
“Whatever Weasley, you aren’t worth my time anyways.” Draco sneered and moved away from them. Cygnus followed his brother. After about fifteen minutes it was their turn and they hopped up on the stools and held still while the girl adjusted the length of the new robes.
Half-an-hour later the boys ambled into the book store.
“Hello, boys, are we all set?” Narcissa asked the boys, looking through the selves for a book.
“Yes, Mother, Madam Malkin said it would only take a couple of hours to have anything ready.” Cygnus picked up a Musical theory book off the shelf.
“I told her that if we did not return to get them today then to please send them to the Manor.” Draco drawled, seeing a book on potions that looked interesting.
Before Narcissa could respond Arthur Weasley came around the corner. He froze at the sight of Lucius, who was perusing a book on blood-adoption and didn’t notice the redhead. Arthur’s face took on an expression eerily similar to Lucius’.
“Malfoy.” Arthur said evenly.
“Weasley.” Lucius sneered, looking up from his book.
“Come along, boys. Your father and I have already grabbed your school books… Oh, yes, you can have those books Cygnus, Draco.” Narcissa moved away from a possible confrontation. Cygnus and Draco were privately gleeful and hugged the books to their chest, following their mum. Lucius glared at Weasley before following his family.
“Last stop.” Narcissa said as they left the bookstore. She led them to the Owl Emporium.
“We want you each to have your own Owl. Now that you are going to school, it’s only appropriate.” Lucius said softly.
The boys eyes widened and they walked inside, keeping to the Malfoy stride.
Twenty minutes later the family was standing outside. Cygnus had a beautiful Snowy Owl that he had named Hedwig, and Draco had an Eagle Owl he had named Hermes. The family flooed home and the boys rushed upstairs chattering excitedly about everything they had seen.

Narcissa had a house-elf take the boys things to their rooms before turning to her husband.
“Narcissa, what’s wrong?” Lucius asked softly.
Narcissa cast a silencing spell that would prevent the boys from overhearing their conversation.
“I’m worried about Cygnus going to Hogwarts.” Narcissa said, trying to calm herself.
“What happened?” Lucius’ concern was evident.
“His wand is a twin to the Dark Lords.” Narcissa said softly. “And with Dumbledore at the school, he’s bound to figure out about the wands.”
“That can’t be good. If we aren’t careful he could be found out before any of us is ready.”
“Should we tell him?”
Lucius pulled Narcissa into a gentle embrace. “Not yet, I don’t think he’s ready yet. I don’t trust that fool of a Headmaster, but Severus will be there to keep an eye on him.” Lucius said, trying to soothe his wife’s fears.

A/N: So, I was going to make it longer and have this chapter end with them on the Hogwarts Express, but this felt like a better ending spot. Hopefully the next chapter will be up soon, we’ll see how writing it goes.
Also, yay, a little confrontation with the Weasleys. I’m going to try hard to not bash them too hard, but with the whole Malfoy/Weasley feud thing evident in the books, well, it’s hard to move away from that. And you didn’t think I’d leave Hedwig out, did you?! I love that bird!
Alright guys, more reviews!!! I love reading all of my reviews, and I do go through and reread them and sometimes use them for ideas, so don’t be surprised if you toss out an idea and then read it in a chapter!
Again, you can find me on Facebook: Fae Child. My e-mail is: faechild925@gmail.com. Feel free to ask questions, I’m always more than willing to answer them!
Starr: Unfortunately he is not free :(. But I'm gonna get into that when we get to book three.
