Supper With the New Kid (Draco's POV)

I had always been an only child, not for my parents lack of trying to have others, so having a new younger brother felt weird. I wanted to teach him and mold him to be more like me, but father told me to give him time to adjust. Apparently living with the muggles had made him wary of other children. At least father assumed it would based off his reports. Seeing him come down the stairs I could better understand my parents worries. He was malnourished to the point his ribcage was prominent with no signs of a belly below it. I had thought maybe he was just scrawny when I saw him passed out at the muggles, but this was beyond scrawny.

"HarryIamDraco.IwillbeyourolderbrotherfromnowonIhopewecangetalong."

"Huh... What did you say?" I thought he was pulling my head till my father repeated my incoherent rambling.

"How can he understand you when you don't take time to breathe. You need to speak slowly. Now what was 'HarryIamDraco.IwillbeyourolderbrotherfromnowonIhopewecangetalong.' supposed to be?"

"Oh I am so sorry. I got a little nervous. What I was trying to say is I am Draco your new older brother. I hope we can get along well in the future Harry."

"I always wanted a brother or a sibling of any kind really. Let's skip formalities from now on we are brothers anyway. Also on as long as you don't bully me we can get along just fine."

"Alright boys calm down you both have a lifetime as brothers now let's eat." Mother walked in and heard them picking on me. I was glad I had her to help me in some way but also worried she wouldn't want to keep my new younger brother. My thoughts were pushed aside when Harry went and pulled her chair out for her. He even said for you mother. Right then I knew me and this younger brother would be competing for mothers love and affection.

"Why thank you Harry. It has been awhile since anyone has pulled the chair out for me. I think I see the Malfoy men learning manners in the near future."

"It's nothing mother. It is what a gentleman should do after all. I was just worried father and brother would beat me to it."

"Ha ha ha.... Harry dear they have never pulled a chair out for me. Now come sit next to mother I want to make sure you eat plenty tonight. Your too thin and it can affect your health in the future now listen to mother."

Watching mother place food on Harry's plate me and father share a look. We both know how she can be when she is too concerned about someone or something. It becomes an obsession for perfection. Both of share a silent laugh when father sends a mental image of Harry as fat as a pig. It quickly turns to fright though when Harry singers and says. "Please I wouldn't allow myself to get that big." We both stare in shock.

"Harry how did you see the picture I sent to Draco mentally?"

"Was that supposed to be private? Oh I forgot to mention I have a talent in sensing others thoughts. Oh and Draco we won't be competing for mothers affections. You as her natural born son will always have a higher spot in her heart then me or father. Ha ha ha."

"Harry this is serious if you are a gifted legilimens we need to start your occlumency lessons soon. Otherwise you could get in serious trouble with the ministry without trying."

"Occlumency is where you block your mind off right? If so I am already skilled in blocking it out but since I was so happy to be invited to eat dinner as a family I dropped my gaurd. Sorry if it caused you any discomfort father."

"Harry occlumency is indeed blocking it out and also preventing others from reading your mind. It doesn't cause me any discomfort in fact I am rather proud of you if you already know how to block it. I was just shocked so after supper you can join me and Draco in his lesson to strengthen your minds defense to prevent any unwanted legilimens from breaking through to read your mind."

"Yes Harry you must join us. Maybe then father will let me rest for a few minutes extra before starting on me again."

"Don't hold your breath Draco. If his defense is airtight I won't need to check beyond once. Meaning he will probably be excused before you are done."

Hearing this I can't help but wonder what kind of monster became my little brother. He is new to the magical world but already skilled in legilimency and occlumency. It seemed as if he had a confidence despite his current physical condition. As if his body was saying no matter what you throw at me I will not break. It caused Draco to respect him even more. 'With a talented little brother I can help the family soar. Me and him together could possibly make a mark in the Wizarding and muggle community alike.
