Draco had made it through the first day in this brand new world without much trouble, other than his best friends both thinking he was crazy and finding out that his father was a lot... He looked much happier. And he'd kept his hair shorter. Draco didn't know if it was his father not dying that had made the difference or what, but he seemed... good. Draco supposed he had to like that.

At least today he'd actually showered and taken the time to put himself together properly before leaving the dorm. He walked into the common room and stopped to wait for Pansy and Merlin to find him. Merlin. Getting to know someone he was supposed to have known since birth all over again was going to be a little weird, but he could handle it. Probably. Today couldn't be any weirder than the day before.

"A memory problem?" Narcissa turned to look at Draco, giving him a concerned look as she sat on the couch. "What kind of memory problem? Was there an accident in one of your classes?"

"It's nothing," Draco promised, holding Valentine's slightly sticky hand as he walked into the dining room. He frowned at Merlin a little as he passed him, then took a seat across from his mother. "I spent a long time with Merlin's father yesterday sorting things out and he thinks I'm fine. Don't worry about it."

"Tom is a very smart man." Augustus nodded as he walked into the room where Narcissa was. He smiled down at his girlfriend and kissed her forehead, then ruffled Draco's hair. "I didn't know you'd be coming home, Draco. Your mother misses you."

He sat down. "What kind of memory loss? Snape didn't have you test any potions, did he? I lost an entire week once when he had me test one in school."

Narcissa gave Augustus a fond smile, curling up against him on the couch. "I hope it's not a potion thing," she said. "You never know what the future side effects of something like that could be."

Draco found it... extremely weird, watching his mother cuddling up to some... man. At least Rookwood wasn't covered in pockmarks. He looked down at Valentine. It was obvious that his half-brother was Rookwood's son. "It wasn't a potion," he said. "I'm not sure what it was, but Tom seemed certain my memories would come back. It'll just take some time."

	"I'm sure that you'll get them back." Merlin nodded, trying not to watch Augustus and Narcissa on the couch. He kind of wanted that. Even if he didn't fully understand it yet, he wanted Draco to hold him like that. He shrugged. "You're the smartest man I know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco was a little surprised by Merlin saying he was the smartest man he knew. Even Pansy hadn't flattered him like that. She knew him too well to think something like that about him, probably. "I trust you father's opinion," Draco said. Probably. If they didn't come back, he'd just fake it. He looked down at his brother, smiling a little as cake appeared in front of all of them. "But after losing some memories it's nice to be home again."

	Valentine smiled at the cake when it arrived in front of them and grabbed a fork, shoving it into the cake. He looked up at Draco as he shoved it into his mouth, chewing. He loved his big brother. Augustus laughed at Valentine and reached over, ruffling his head. "He asks where you are all the time. He misses his big brother when you're gone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco looked down at his brand new half-brother and smiled a little. He'd always liked being an only child, but if his brother liked him then that was all right. "He's got good taste," he said.

Narcissa laughed too. "I make very good babies," she said, touching her rounded stomach. She looked at Merlin and smiled. "And they have excellent taste in best friends. If your father says we don't need to worry, I'm sure Draco will be okay, Merlin."
