It had been weeks and Draco still wasn't use to this new world. Everything was just off, and he wasn't getting memories of what the old him had been like. It was starting to frustrate him. Pansy was still basically the same person, but the history was different, and Draco didn't like being around people who looked at him and expected him to be someone he wasn't. When he talked to Merlin he could see the disappointment in his eyes, even though Merlin was the one who'd fucked and impregnated his mother, and Charlie Weasley's face when he looked at him was currently making Draco skip Care of Magical Creatures.

He looked up at the ceiling of the Slytherin common room and contemplated the possibility of trying to go back again to change things and see what happened. Or maybe he could send someone else back and then he'd at least remember whatever new reality was created. As long as it wasn't really multiple realities. This was making his brain hurt. Draco looked up from sulking at the ceiling and spotted Rex Lestrange. Someone who didn't know him, who he didn't know, who he'd gotten along with in Hogsmede before he'd disappeared with Rider Macnair. Draco got up and moved to sit beside the other boy. Fuck it. "Running away from school for a week sounds like heaven. Did you have fun?"

Draco looked at Rex for a moment and then laughed. "I wish," he said. "You have no idea how much I wish I could. I really don't think anyone would be very happy with me if I did. I'd probably have to file a report first or something."

He ran a hand through his hair. "I miss France," he said. "You must too. You went to Beauxbatons. The food and the art and the clothes." Draco shook his head. "It's been a long time since I went." He didn't know if that was true for him here, or if he'd ever been at all, but in his reality it had been a couple of years. Since his father started getting obsessed with the Dark Lord.

	"I'm going to move there as soon as I can." Rex admitted as he looked at Draco. He smiled. "I turn seventeen in four months. I'm going to quit Hogwarts and move back to France. Get a real job. Not one being a whore for the Dark Lord." He paused. "Do you always do everything you're told?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco laughed at that. "Only recently," he said. "It's a bad habit I've gotten into." He shrugged and pulled his feet up onto the furniture to feel a bit more rebellious. "Maybe I should change that. Everyone else seems to be breaking the rules, even my mother."

He glanced at Rex. Draco loved his mother, even this version of her, but the news of Winter's uncertain parentage was spreading fast anyway. "My new sister doesn't belong to the father everyone thought she did, or my father, or even my father's lover."

	Rex arched a brow at that. Was Draco Malfoy opening up to him? It was kind of odd, but not unwelcome. He kind of wanted to make friends while he was here and Draco was probably a good ally to have. "Seriously?" Rex shook his head and sighed. "People can't get their shit together. It's fine, though. Yeah? You have a sister." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Draco just wanted to have someone to talk to who didn't have a bunch of assumptions about him built up in their heads already. He and Rex could be friends. They could be good friends. "Yeah, I have a sister. And a little brother," Draco said. He looked at Rex for a moment. "Do you have any siblings?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohrexy 2012-11-21 05:34 am UTC (link)
	"No. My father is gay and my mother is bitter." Rex assured Draco with a laugh. He pulled out a pack of fags and smirked, thinking about it. "However, if my father was a woman, I'd probably have tons of siblings. My father is a bit of a whore, if I'm honest. And he does it all in the name of the dark lord."

Draco wrinkled his nose at that. "My father is gay as well, but I don't think my mother is bitter about it. Apparently she just sleeps around." And cried, but talking about his mother crying in front of his younger brother seemed more personal than he sleeping with men who weren't her boyfriend. "I'm still not sure what the Dark Lord wants me to do, besides marry his son."

	"That's all he wants you to do." Rex replied with a shrug, looking at Draco. "I mean.. it's just kind of what happens. You're a high priority pureblood. Everyone wanted you. Pansy certainly wanted you for a while. I heard she's going to get stuck with Thoreau." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco made a face at that. "Maybe," he said. "She's maybe going to get stuck with him. I'd rather she was with someone else, even if he is pretty." Draco would rather marry Pansy than Merlin, but it wasn't like he could change that now.

"I don't object to marrying well to keep blood pure." Although he was a little worried about what two men were supposed to do for children. "I'd just want Pansy to be happy."

	Rex laughed at that and shook his head. "That sounds a bit ridiculous, doesn't it? Especially considering we all know you're going to be the woman in the relationship. You'll probably be taking his name and everything." He shook his head. "I don't envy you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco made a face at what Rex was saying. "I'd call it awful, not ridiculous. I don't want to think about how the children are going to be produced. And I'm meant to be the Malfoy heir. If they make me take the name Riddle it's going to be hard to continue the family line."

He ran a hand through his hair. "I don't envy you either," he told Rex. "Even if you're planning on getting out of what everyone's got planned for you."

	"My life will be my own, at least." Rex told him with a shrug. "I wish I could give you my life. I'd take yours if it meant you wouldn't have to put up with that prick Merlin. He tortured me when we were kids." He shook his head. "Let's talk about happier things. Like... How there's a sale on suits right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lordlyheir 2012-11-21 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Merlin tortured everyone except me, I think," Draco said, thinking of the memories Pansy had shown him. He shook his head. "He's not that bad when he's with me. He's just... not very happy about me losing some of my memories." Draco snorted, looking up at Rex. "Shopping is always a happier thing. Who's having a sale?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rex hadn't thought about that before he spoke. He looked at Draco for a moment and laughed. "They're a Muggle store. It's called Valentino. My father really loves his stuff and I need a new one." He shrugged. "I thought about trying to get Rider to get one. But, I think he'd kill me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A muggle store. That had the potential to be dangerous, but Draco wasn't going to sit around and be good all the time. He didn't want to be boring. He'd been listening to muggle music before, with Charlie Weasley, so why not wear muggle clothes?

"Let's go," he said, getting to his feet. "I can leave school whenever I want anyway. You can debate getting your boyfriend a suit when we get there."

	Rex laughed and stood up with Draco. "Sounds good." He told him and then glanced at Rider as he walked into the room. He walked over to him and flicked his wand to measure him for a suit, then leaned in and kissed him when the numbers came back to him. "See you later." He caught up with Draco again. "Let's get a suit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco glanced at Macnair, laughing at how confused he looked, and nodded. "Let's," he agreed. "You're going to have to tell me where we're going."

He led Rex out of the common room and headed towards his father's office. He always seemed to hang around Professor Rosier anyway. Less questions would be asked. "Are you going to take Macnair with you when you run away?"

	"I want to. I don't know if he's going to go." Rex told him honestly, glancing at Draco as they passed some giggling girls. "You know how relationships are. They rarely ever last. So, I'm not counting on him sticking around." Rex sighed softly. "His father is in love with my father, but refuses to acknowledge it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco had no idea how relationships were, but he nodded because Rex obviously had a lot of experience that he'd missed out on. Sort of. Charlie Weasley probably counted, but that hadn't been him and whatever had existed there was gone now. "Some relationships last," he pointed out. "My father's been with his boyfriend for a long time. My grandfather and Tom have been together even longer."

He gave Rex a shocked look. "Really?" he asked. "Walden Macnair is in love with Rabastan Lestrange? That's... I wouldn't have suspected it."

	ohrexy 2012-11-21 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Your grandfather is the only person who has ever been able to get Tom Riddle to listen to him." Rex pointed out with a snort, shaking his head. "That's why he's the minister and not the other way around." "Really?" Rex arched a brow at that. "He's a total fag. A self-hating one at that. His father would probably murder him if he knew."

"It's a good thing Tom's keeping them both young, then," Draco said. He knew what the Dark Lord was like with no one keeping him in check. Crazy and cruel and evil. "I wouldn't want to live in a world where there was no one he'd listen to."

Draco looked at Rex, shrugging. "I don't have a lot of contact with the Macnairs," he said. "I know he's an executioner." He opened the door to his father's office, glancing around it, but no one was there. "Come on. He's probably with Rosier."

	"Lestrange men have a curse with Macnairs. It goes back generations." Rex told him with a shrug. "And it looks like I've got my own now. I suppose." He shrugged and walked into Lucius Malfoy's office. "It's nice to have a shopping buddy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lordlyheir 2012-11-22 02:56 am UTC (link)
	"It's nice to get away from everyone who thinks they know me," Draco said, waving a wand to start a fire in the grate. "I'd just like to go somewhere where I'm not disappointing everyone I talk to." He looked up at Rex. "You've got to give the address. I don't know why where we're going or if Flooing is even the right way to get there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohrexy 2012-11-22 03:43 am UTC (link)
	Rex looked at the floo, then picked up a bit of floo powder. He tossed it into the fire and stepped inside, announcing the address as he held onto Draco's hand. Things spun for a moment, then he grinned and stepped out. "Here we are. This is my London home." (Reply to this)(Parent)
