He heard footsteps echo, he couldn't hold his anticipation. Breath came out in pants, white condensation exceeded his mouth as he let out a breath. A man with onix eyes looked down at the small boy. "What is it?"
"They kicked me out..." He spoke barely over a whisper. His voice shook more then he had anticipated it to. Cursing himself mentally, he sounded so weak and broken. He didn't want to sound that way even if he really was.
The man with onix eyes stood aside and let the little boy in. "What do you want from me Draco?"
"Nothing more than a place to sleep... I'll pay you back when I get money... I'll get a job, but that might be difficult due to my current perdicament." He walked past Snape, his eyes were covered by blond hair, hiding his tears.
He handed both warm bundles to the Snape who looked down at the small figure in it's folds. "Who's the mother." Draco looked up and pointed at himself, Severus shook his head. "Draco... who's the other parent." Draco walked out of the room into the living room where he sat down on the sofa."Draco! Tell me who the hell the other parent is!"
A cry errupted from one of the bundel, Snape looked down and saw all to familiar eyes. "I didn't think this could happen! I swear!" Draco looked down and let out a soft sob. He placed his head into his hands, silent sobs escaping his body.
"Draco look at me." Draco shook his head. "Look at me." Again he shook his head. "Look at me!" Severus grabbed Draco's chin and brought it up to face him. "You'll get through this. Does he know about it?" Draco shook his head once and then looked down not meeting the other man's gaze."You have to tell him.You have to... Draco..."
"He doesn't want it. We ended our relationship... He ended our relationship... I can't tell you... I... I can't... it hurt so much. So much... I was always a spoiled git." Draco let out a little laugh. "Of course he would play me a fool..." Draco looked away, "Gave myself away. That's all he wanted. He wanted sex."
"Sex?"
"Yes sex. And I was a fool blinded by what I thought was love. He laughed at me."Draco shook his head before looking down. "And I quote 'Bloody fool. Why would I ever love a Slytherin. Sure I was meant to be one, but your a whore. The Slytherin whore.' And that's what I am..."
The elder man shook his head, "No your not." He tilted the boy's face to look deep into those silver eyes. "Maybe that horrible pug faced girl is, but you most definitely are not. You gave yourself to him... he took it and then threw you away. You loved him, only love could create a baby. Only love." Snape couldn't believe he was saying this to the boy. For the first time he took a look at his face, it was marred with bruises... his face was greasy much like his blond locks. Deep dark circles were present under his eyes. "Did you just have them?" Draco nodded and looked down.
"His name is Becan , it means little one in Irish... I... I thought the name suit him... And he's Bari... it means son of Harry in Celtic. I...I love them..." Snape smirked and ruffled the boy's already messed up hair.
"You have to tell him though Draco."
"No. I'm not going to." Draco looked down "I'm not... I'm not even going to school next year why does it matter?" Snape looked at him, shocked.
And he didn't go to school. He went and got a job as a waiter, then moved to his own place struggling with his child and money.
Harry noticed when Draco didn't come back to school in seventh year, but he didn't think much of it.
"Draco! He was the first man in your life that was stable, not a hooker!" Snape yelled, "He was good for you, I thought that you finally found the one and you go and mess it up!" Draco started crying, Snape stopped and cradled the boy. Becan was at the door looking on.
"Shut up! You have no idea what he did, you have no idea!" Draco pushed Snape away. Snap touched the boy's shoulder in turn the younger man shrugged it off.
"Tell me Draco... tell me what he did."
"He... he... he cheated on me. He... I hate... I love him... but he cheated, he went to a strip club. Sure that's where I met him, but still." Draco took hold of his knees and started to sob.
"Draco... do you need any money? You look malnourished... you look like you need a good meal, a good nights sleep." Snape took Draco's chin into his hand and lifted his face up. "Let me help you Draco. You need it."
"Your not my father, I can do this on my own." Draco's voice shook, "So what I'm living off Ramon noodles, my children gets their nessisary food, sure that means all I get is these noodles, but they eat their vegetables and meats. I don't need you to tell me that I'm doing a bad job. I don't need you telling me how horrible I look. I know it, I know I look bad, but makeup cures the bags under my eyes. The men I work with like my skinny body. I'm working three jobs, but I'm not complaining because Becan is doing well. He's got top grades, he's healthy... it's good. My life is good. Not great, but good." Draco looked away, tears falling from his eyes. He looked over and saw Becan in the doorway. "Come here Becan ." The blond haired boy moved forward and smiled shyly at his father. "Becan ... do you know how much I love you?"
The green-eyed boy smiled and nodded, he then signed 'I love you too'. Becan is a mute, he can not talk due to a diformaty in his voice box. Draco never had it in his heart to call him dumb even though that is the correct term. Becan often complained to his father how fingerspelling hurt his fingers. He only knew how to fingerspell, he knew two languages asl, and bsl. He often used asl due to the easiness, that is until he couldn't stand the pain in his fingers.
He smiled at his son and pulled him to his chest. The boy knew that his father was a stripper, and that he was gay. He knew that his father was really his mother so to speak. The one thing the boy never asked was who his other father was. The little boy figured it wasn't important, if his other father didn't want to be part of his life then so be it. The little boy looked down and smiled.
"I love you so much... and eventually... eventually... we will... we will... get another parent."
Another child walked into the room, he smiled at his father Draco waved him over, he placed himself at his father's feet. Draco smiled at his twin boys and stroked their hair and smiled sweetly at his other son. The other son was deaf. They were almost identical twins, both with stunning green eyes and almost the same in weight and height.
The only difference was that Bari Vartan Malfoy had jet black hair, sharp facial features, and was deaf. While Becan Brishen Malfoy had light blond hair, wore glasses, had slightly less sharp facial features, and was a mute. The boys were both scarred from the birth, identical scars ran from the small amount of pubic hair to their hair line on their heads. Both boys were sixteen, they were enrolled at Hogwarts.
"Boys... it's time for us to have a talk..." He signed and said, "Sex..." Both boys shrunk and Bari let out a groan, Draco sniggered. "It's an act that I feel can be done with either gender, I myself as you are aware find the same gender quite attractive." Both boy's were squirming.
"Now I'm here to tell you that I don't care about your preference, but I do know what you have been looking at, Bari." Becan was shaking with silent laughter "No not porn Becan, just websites on coming out to your family. Sorry I was searching the history for my own... err... website... and well I found that." Bari was blushing bright red.
He signed and spoke, his words sounded foreign to his tongue as he couldn't hear what he was saying, "I am... searching for ways to find out if I am or not... I know that you won't mind, but I dunno." Draco smiled at his son and pulled him into a tight hug.
"Becan you came out to me last summer, does Bari know about this?" The boy shook his head and looked down, "Do you want to tell him?" Becan looked aprehensive before he started signing.
'Bari... there is something I need to tell you... I'm... well I'm not gay, or straight... or even bisexual... Over the summer last year I started to be... I started to... to realize that I found the act of love very off putting... I decided to... to... I don't quite know yet. I may become a priest of some kind, or even turn into a Eunuch... I have been getting help with it... I will think long and hard before I make my decision... but more then likely I will castrate myself at some point. I've decided to wait until I am at least twenty-one.'
The room was silent, "That does not bother me Becan." Bari said he stood up and placed his hand onto his brother's shoulder, he gave it a slight squeeze, "Not at all. It's your life Bec' live it the way you want." The mute smiled and placed his hand on his brother's.
"Now on with what I was saying, I'm allowing as a late birthday present both of you to compose a list of friends... not to big, we are struggling here... but as it is soon to be your last year... you should have a party." Draco looked at the shocked faces of both of his sons.
"Noo..." Bari said and Becan signed, Bari then spoke up, "We are struggling with money Dad, I don't want you to... to..."
'To spend your money on a party we don't need intead of food you need.'
Draco almost started to cry, "You both deserve this... I'm going to give it to you. Don't worry about me, I'm... I'm great my dears."
"No your not! You're malnourished! Come to Hogwarts for start of term, you'll get food there." Draco looked down, Bari continued, "Dad finish your last year, we aren't children anymore... we..."
'We think you deserve your deploma, we talked to our Headmaster about it, he said it's a good idea. I think it's an excellent idea. Finish your last year and we'll leave you alone.'
"I never want you to leave me alone..."
'Dad... we saved up our extra money we have gotten over the course of two years, we have enough for you to go back. Go back for us.'
This time Draco actually did start to cry as he took the envelop and felt the weight of many coins, he took his boys into his arms and hugged then his face going in between their shoulders. "I... I dunno what to say..." he said to Becan and signed against Bari's back.
"Say nothing. We understand." Bari said.
"Ah... you guys shouldn't see me like this." Draco wiped away his tears, and pushed them playfully towards their bedroom door. "Nighty night my loves." Draco whispered.
The envelope jingled as Draco walked to his room, he pulled off his clothing and stepped into bed without any clothes; he had always slept in the nude. Becan came to his door and knocked, his father woke up briskly and said to come in, luckily it was Becan not Bari.
'Dad?'Becan signed, 'I don't think Bari is okay with it... he says he is... but...' Draco lifted an eyebrow. 'Okay... I know he's okay with it... but... but... I want to start looking for a doctor... A good doctor... It's not an easy operation... and I want to see the procedures and stuff of it.'
"Is that all?" Draco asked, Becan nodded in reply. "Alright, of to bed, we'll start looking into it." Draco watched Becan's retreating back, Becan looked back at Draco and smirked. He mouthed a simple sentence that made his father blush, 'You sleep in the nude dad?' The boy's face lit up with silent laughter.
