Cepheus was always so miserable when he was bored. He'd read through all his comic books and he'd played through a few games. And then he'd listened to all his Queen and Adam Lambert albus. He really needed something to do. He grumbled and rolled around on his bed for a moment, then pushed himself up and walked into his brother's room.

"We need to find something to do." He informed his brother. "Or I'm literally going to die of boredom. And that's a shitty way to go."

	"Really?" They didn't have many pictures of their grandfather. One or two, in old albums, but nothing on display. Scorpius had always thought it was because there weren't any. He put down the book he was looking at and walked over to Cepheus, looking down at the photograph. "Dad looks miserable, doesn't he? Moody. Lucius looks really old-fashioned."

"They've never really talked much about him. I guess I kind of assumed he'd look like this because of that." Cepheus replied, looking his brother over. "Like not knowing about him makes him seem more ancient or something. I don't know."

He pushed over some more of the papers and found another picture laying loosely. He picked it up and arched a brow. "Is that Mum with him?"

Scorpius looked at the picture. "I -- yeah, it is," he said. "She doesn't look especially happy either. I guess we know why they don't talk about him much. They don't like him."

He picked up some of the papers on the desk, looking them over. "I'm not looking forward to having to do all this banking, are you? No wonder Dad's a solicitor." Scorpius wanted to be a curse-breaker and forget about all the Malfoy stuff.

	"I'm not looking forward to doing it either. You know, dad is lax about most things, but I can't help but feel like he still expects one of us to be an heir. You know?" Cepheus shrugged and looked up at the wall, where something was draped over. He frowned for a moment. "What do you think that is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm sure he does," Scorpius agreed. "Even if he doesn't want to force us to get married to someone or any of that. Victoire seems to think I'm going to have to do it, since I'm the oldest." He made a face, then looked at the draped thing Cepheus was staring at.

"I don't know," he said, stepping forward. He grabbed the edge of the drape and tugged, pulling it off the frame and jumping a little when there was a face there, frozen. A disturbingly still portrait. "That's... It's our grandfather, right?" He glanced at Cepheus, then leaned closer to the painting, frowning. "I think Bill put something on it too."

	"Well. Victoire wants to marry you and have your babies." Cepheus pointed out. "Her thought process is more wishful thinking than anything else. You know?" Cepheus's eyes went up to the portrait. Most portaits moved, so seeing a still one was odd. He frowned. "Why is it so still?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Spell, I think," Scorpius said, getting his wand out again. "Let's not talk about how Victoire wants to marry me. I love her, but not like that. We're just friends, and I know Mum and Dad are happy, but it's not... I'd rather just be with who I want to be with."

He tapped his temple again and grinned when the runes showed up. "It's some kind of stasis spell to freeze the picture. Should I take it off?"

	"Should you take it off? What kind of a question is that, half-wit? Of course you should take it off." Cepheus informed his brother and shook his head. "That's our grandfather. We've never gotten to talk to him before and if it's one of those portraits, I'd love to see it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
