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."

Scorpius wanted to point out that he didn't exist to entertain Cepheus, but he was pretty bored too. He'd finished all his holiday homework and now he was just reading Ancient Runes textbooks for fun. Kind of fun. Not really all that fun.

Still. He stared balefully at Cepheus for a moment before responding. "As long as you don't decide fighting is the fun thing to do." Scorpius glanced down at the textbook he was reading, then back at his brother. "I was thinking of doing something. You can come, but you can't tell anyone."

	Cepheus arched a brow at his brother. This was going to be fun, especially if his brother didn't want him to tell anyone. He grinned to himself and crossed his arms over his chest, examining his brother. "Really?" Cepheus asked, unable to stop grinning. "What kind of bad things are we going to do, Scorpi?"

"It's not bad," Scorpius said. "Not really. Just..." He wasn't sure he should tell Cepheus now. He looked like he was thinking about running off and telling as soon as Scorpius offered a suggestion.

"I've been reading ahead in Ancient Runes. I think I can get rid of the spells Bill put up to stop people going in the wing we're not allowed in," he said. "I've always been curious about what's back there."

	"Really? This doesn't seem like something you'd normally do." But, of course Cepheus was intrigued by it. He bit his bottom lip and then grinned from ear to ear. It was perfect. "I want to go." Cepheus nodded. "I'm not any good at that runes shit. But, I can help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's not," Scorpius said. "I just want to see if I can break the wards Bill put up. I think I can." He eyed his brother for a moment. If Cepheus was excited, he probably woulnd't tell. This seemed to appeal to his Gryffindor sensibilities.

Scorpius got off the bed, bringing his textbook with him. "Let's go. As long as you stay quiet when I need to concentrate this will be fine."

	"Well. As long as we can keep it a secret from our sister." Cepheus rolled his eyes and then walked with his brother. "I've always wondered what was back there as well. Dad is always saying it's dangerous or something, but I've never realy believed that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2012-07-03 04:19 am UTC (link)
	"It might be dangerous," Scorpius said, willing to give their father the benefit of the doubt. "The manor's very old. I just don't know why they wouldn't do something to fix it if that was the problem. We have enough money." He looked around the hall to make sure there were no elves about either. "Rory would tell Dad for sure, and he'd feel obliged to tell Mum." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've always assumed they've been hiding something. Sure, the manor is old, but a few spells would protect it. Rather than hiding it from us. It's our house. We should be able to do whatever we want." He stopped outside the spells. "What kind do you think are around it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Nothing dangerous," Scorpius said, opening his textbook and then tapping his temple so the runes showed up when he looked at them. "It's just like... alarm spells and wards and a couple to make you not want to keep trying to break in. They're not very strong. It just makes it so you can't get in without taking them down."

He looked in his textbook again, then made a few motions with his wand, taking the alarm spells down and smiling to himself when they folded away easily. "Bill probably didn't expect anyone to try that hard to break in."

	Cepheus couldn't believe what his brother had done. He'd made a portrait come back to life. He stared up at the man moving in the portrait, but didn't step back like his brother did. He wasn't a pussy. "I'm Cepheus Malfoy." He informed the man. "And this is my brother Scorpius. We're your grandchildren." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really bored. And we'll get in trouble if Mum finds out." Cepheus pointed out as he looked up at the portrait. He frowned for a moment, noticing how much Scorpius looked like his grandfather. He crossed his arms over his chest. "How come this is the first time we've ever seen you?" He asked. "Why haven't we been told much about you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Charlie is our Dad." Cepheus pointed out as he looked back up at the man. "He's with our father. Draco. They're very happy together." He informed the other man matter-of-factly. "And Mum is with Rider Macnair. I consider him more of my father than Scorpius does. Right, Scorpi?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pheus 2012-07-03 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	"That's not true, Scorpius. They like you. Rider definitely likes you." Cepheus pointed out with a deep frown. "Don't talk like that. I've never understood why you think Mum hates you so much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pheus 2012-07-04 05:08 am UTC (link)
	Cepheus frowned at his brother and grabbed his arm, pulling him out of the room. He shut the door and looked at Scorpius. "I don't like him. We should start asking our parents questions about why they wanted to keep him a secret from us. Or do.. some kind of research. I bet Rider would tell us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2012-07-04 05:10 am UTC (link)
	"Rider would probably tell you," Scorpius agreed, after thinking about it for a moment. "He is kind of... racist and stuck up, isn't he?" Scorpius made a face. "I'm really glad Dad's not like that. I'll ask Charlie and Dad if you do Mum and Rider." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He wants you to get married and have pureblood babies. Too bad you're a fag." Cepheus pointed out and shook his head. "It's stupid. I can't believe people used to think like that. You know? Grandmum doesn't seem to think like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2012-07-04 05:36 am UTC (link)
	"I can't believe grandmum was married to him. All she does is charity work and gardening. He doesn't seem like he likes charity or dirt," Scorpius said, glancing back at the room as he ran a hand through his hair. "I should probably try and lock it again, right? So Rory doesn't wander in and tell on us?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pheus 2012-07-04 05:43 am UTC (link)
	"No. No one ever comes down this way because we're not allowed." Cepheus replied with a casual shrug. "And if Rory went in on her own, she'd be the one getting in trouble. So not our problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2012-07-04 05:55 am UTC (link)
	Scorpius was pretty sure locking it would be a good idea, but he let it go. "As long as Bill doesn't come over and notice the spells are missing," he said, glancing back at the door. "I felt kind of sorry for him. Even if it was racist and old-fashioned. Paintings that are still like that are creepy." (Reply to this)(Parent)
