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."

Cepheus didn't like being back in school. It was kind of a bother, really. But, James was busy with Quidditch and he didn't want to be the girlfriend who sat in on practices. So here he was.

He laughed at Xavier and rolled his eyes. "We're both. Very hot and very romantic. That's what you can tell them next time." He arched a brow. "Two whole cakes? That sounds delicious. Mum can put away two cheesecakes."

Xavier made a face. "I know she can. I've seen her attempt it. Apparently Ana isn't as talented as Mum because she failed completely. Caspar said there was a lot of puke. I don't really want to think about it. I mean, if she really wanted to put on weight there are special bars and things for that. She's just making up excuses for gluttony. Just don't tell Brutus I said so."

He looked at Cepheus. "I'm not encouraging your fans, by the way. They're only bugging me and not Scorpius because Scorpius has his head up Albus's arse and they all think that's adorable too. What's wrong with me and Caspar? No one makes up names for me and Caspar. We could be called Cavier. I've thought about it."

	"Oh, right. She's seeing Brutus now." Cepheus wrinkled his nose at the thought. Brutus was kind of gross, even if Cepheus liked the Macnair boys. He snorted. "Cavier is disgusting and you should be ashamed if yourself for even thinking of it." Cepheus sighed softly. "I really need to tell you something. About Father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Xavier laughed. "I'm not going to apologise for thinking of Cavier. People go around smashing everyone else's names together. Why shouldn't I do it too?" He thought he'd done well. It sounded much better than Cames or Jameus.

But Cepheus looked a bit serious now, so Xavier calmed himself. "What about him?" he asked. "I know you stayed with James pretty much the entire time you were gone. Is this about that?"

	"Your name is not as good as Cames. Mine implies orgasms." Cepheus informd his brother with a grin and shook his head. "But, it's nice that you at least tried to sound like Caviar." "It's about that. Yeah." Cepheus sighed softly and glanced around. "Can we go somewhere more private?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Xavier made a face. "Ugh. Don't remind me. It's bad enough those pictures of you were everywhere. And by the way, why weren't Caspar and I invited to the club? Just because Caspar and Scorpius used to date? Caspar's over him now." Xavier was ninety-eight percent sure.

He got to his feet. "Yeah, of course. We can go to the dorms. You're going to tell me what happened?"

	"Uh, yeah. It would be really awkward to get ex boyfriends together for a club experience." Cepheus pointed out and shook his head. "I didn't even want to invite Scorpius, but I thought I'd be a good brother." "Yeah. I'll tell you what happened." Cepheus promised. "But, we need to be somewhere where gossip won't spread."

	"I guess Scorpius is the boring one," Xavier said, smiling at Cepheus. He shrugged. "It's fine. It means Caspar and I didn't get photographed doing anything bad. Caspar makes me lose my head sometimes." He led the way to the Slytherin dorms and sat on his bed. "Right. Gossip free zone. What happened?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're a Macnair. When you find someone you love, they make you cray-cray." Cepheus pointed out and shook his head. "Like grandad and Rabastan. And Dad with Mum." Cepheus looked around the room for a moment, then nodded, putting up a silencing spell around them. "I found out something that's kind of major." He told him, letting out a sigh. "About Draco."

"I'm not that crazy," Xavier said, shaking his head. "I'm just... a little bit obsessed. Whatever. It's fine. I got all the crazy out when I was making Caspar cheat on Scorpius with me, but it turns out Scorpius didn't deserve him anyway so I don't feel bad about it."

He gave Cepheus a slightly worried look. The silencing spell made this seem... more serious than Xavier had thought it would be. "What is it?" he asked. "Is everyone okay at home?"

	Cepheus sighed dramatically and laid back on the pillows in the bed. He shook his head and looked at Xavier for a moment, trying to figure out how he wanted to phrase what he was going to say. "Over the summer, Scorpius and I snuck into the forbidden part of the house." He told him. "And we found a portrait of our grandfather. The one who was murdered." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	xav 2012-11-19 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	Xavier nodded. So far it sounded creepy, but not like something you had to silence the room to talk about. "Right," he said. "I'm a bit annoyed I didn't get invited along on your twin adventure, but okay. I assume he told you something about Draco?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No. He didn't tell us anything, really." Cepheus admitted, then sighed. "But, apparently Scorpius found out something months ago. That he didn't mention to me. Which really still bothers me, if I'm being honest."

He ran a hand through his hair. "So, when the pictures surfaced, mum was livid. And I found out that the same thing happened to her when she was our age. Her and Rider." He told him. "And that our grandfather had her betrothal with Draco called off and she was disowned."

	"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."

(Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pheus 2012-11-20 02:35 am UTC (link)
	"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)

"I don't know if he hated you, Cepheus. I think he just resented you," Xavier said. He shook his head. "Maybe you're right. Maybe if she'd been honest this wouldn't have happened, but we can't do anything to change it now. I'm terrible at this. I know I'm pretty gay and all, but I'm not sure I'm gay enough."

He ruffled Cepheus's curly hair. "Maybe you and Scorpius can be closer now."

	"You are pretty awful at this." Cepheus informed his brother, grumbling to himself. He looked back at Xavier for a moment, then shook his hair and snorted. "Your hair is a mess, Xavier. You're going to have to fix it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know I don't say this often, but fuck my hair," Xavier said, reaching up and touching it and then getting to his hair to look in a mirror. He made a face. "This is how you know I'm taking note of your situation and I'm stressed out by it. Fuck." He picked up his comb, trying to fix his hair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pheus 2012-11-20 04:23 am UTC (link)
	"Didn't you just say fuck you to your hair?" Cepheus asked with a small grin as he sat on his brother's bed, watching him fiddle with his hair. He stood up and wrapped his arms around Xavier, hugging him for a moment, then pulled back. "I'm sorry I turned your day to shite." He told him quietly. "I didn't mean to ruin it. Or your hair."

	xav 2012-11-20 04:26 am UTC (link)
	"I can say fuck you to my hair and still want to fix it," Xavier informed Cepheus. "There's no feed for me to walk around like I'm homeless or something." He looked down at Cepheus and smiled, reaching out and tweaking his hair a little too. "Don't worry about it. My hair will recover and you're more important than my hair." (Reply to this)(Parent)
