Xavier had missed his brother while Cepheus was hiding away from all the people who wanted to ask about him and James Potter. But Cepheus and James were back in school now and still together and Cepheus seemed happy, so Xavier was choosing to ignore the naked photo thing. He'd beat James up if Cepheus ever got his heart broken instead. "I'm glad you're back," he told his brother. "Girls keep coming up to me and talking about either how hot you and James are, or how romantic you are. It's annoying."

He ruffled his brother's hair, grinning at him. "And this means I don't have to visit Ana in the hospital wing with Caspar. Apparently she ate two whole cakes trying to gain weight for the musical and ended up making herself sick instead. Caspar can deal with her. I don't think I can."

	"Tell me what he told you," Xavier said. "Stop teasing me with it. I want to know what all the build up is about." Xavier frowned in concern. "Disowned?" he repeated. "She never said anything about that. But... things worked out, right? Mum and Draco still ended up getting married. They had you and Scorpius and then Aurora later. Everything's okay now."

"No. It's not... Nothing worked out right." Cepheus went out and sighed heavily. Talking about it was getting him upset all over again. He played with one of his curls for a moment, trying to calm down.

"Basically..." Cepheus chewed at his lip. "Because Mum was disowned, she literally had nowhere to go. So Lucius bought her and kept her as..." He teared up. "He raped her. A lot. And... He's mine and Scorpius's real father."

"He..." Xavier stared at Cepheus for a moment, then reached out and rubbed his back. "Fuck," he said. "No wonder they never talk about him. Except dad saying out much of a prick he was, and even then I don't think I've ever heard him mention Lucius around Mum."

He ran a hand through his hair. Some revelations deserved it getting messed up. "Just... fuck, Phe. Did you tell James all this stuff too?"

"Yes. It's why I stayed at his house." Cepheus told Xavier, feeling his shoulders begin to shake. He looked down at his lap for a moment, then took a deep breath to calm himself down. He couldn't get upset again.

"And it just added to the situation I was already in." He looked at Xavier. "The only good thing that came out of it is that Scorpi and I don't have to be heir anymore. Rory can do it."

"Have you told her yet?" Xavier asked. He pulled Cepheus close, hugging his brother tightly and squishing him for a second before letting him go. "She'll be thrilled. I think she's been secretly plotting on being the heir all along anyway."

He pulled a box of tissues out of his bedside table and handed them to Cepheus. "We could go tell her. That might cheer you up. If Scorpius didn't tell you when he first found out, why should you wait around for him to tell her?"

	"Mum asked me not to tell her." Cepheus told Xavier quietly, shaking his head. He took the tissues and wiped at his eyes with a quiet sigh, not sure how exactly he felt at that moment. Pouty, mostly. He chewed at his bottom lip. "And I'm not sure I'm ready for Rory to know she's my niece." He paused. "Niece sister." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well. I get that," Xavier said, after thinking about it for a moment. It was weird. He patted Cepheus on the back. "At least we're in the same place we've always been, right? Half-brothers."

He leaned back against his pillows, shaking his head. "Our family is so much more fucked up than I thought. I can't believe they kept this from you two. Me and Rory, yeah, I get that, but... I don't know."

	"It's why I was so furious. And why I disappeared for so long." Cepheus admitted with a sigh. "I would have come home earlier if I wasn't so pissed off. I mean... who keeps that from their kids?" He shook his head. "The man I thought was my father is actually my brother. It's so fucked. Right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah," Xavier said, frowning to himself. He ruffled his own hair again and then glanced at Cepheus. "Can I say something without you hating me?" he asked. "It's just... I would have lied to you about it too. I mean it's... the whole thing is really fucked up, you know?"

He shrugged. "If you were Mum, would you really want to tell your kids about the time your husband's father raped you and how you got these two kids out of it, but don't worry Mummy still loves you? I'd never want to talk about it either."

	"She's the reason that Scorpius resents me so much." Cepheus pointed out, shaking his head. "Because she couldn't look at him. Because he looks so much like our grand.... Our father." Cepheus felt grumpy. "I just... I don't know." He told him. "If he'd known, maybe we wouldn't have fought all those years." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Does he?" Xavier wanted to see a portrait of Lucius Malfoy now, but he thought it would probably be best not to bring that up to Cepheus. He was probably still feeling somewhat sensitive about it. "That's bizarre. This whole thing is bizarre."

He sighed. "You're still twins, though. And she still likes you best. Maybe it would have been a little better for you if Mum was more open, but who knows. It wouldn't mean she liked him more than she did."

	"But, at least he wouldn't have blamed it all on me." Cepheus tried to emphasize the point. He'd always hated how much Scorpius hated him. "Do you know how much he hated me growing up?" He asked. "For no other reason then Mum chose me." (Reply to this)(Parent)
