The Seven and The Hidden Child

Chapter 14

"Morning mum," Blaise yawned dropping into his seat at the table.

"Morning darling," Annise smiled at her oldest son.

Annise placed two pancakes on his plate and a mug of tea in front of him before going back to the stove. She finished up cooking eggs before turning the burner off.

"Mum! Tell Marcus that he is not allowed to wear my clothes!" Maddie screamed walking in.

She was closely followed by Marcus. He was wearing a bright pink shirt that read 'I'm a princess' and had a huge smirk. Blaise quietly snickered into his tea while Annise sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"Marcus, give your sister her shirt back. Maddie, do not yell in the house. And Blaise, it is not okay to laugh," Annise scolded before muttering, "Even though it's hilarious."

Marcus huffed and left the room with Maddie fuming behind him. Just becuse they were twins, that didn't mean they got along well. Sometimes the twins acted more like James Potter and Severe Snape locked in a broom cupboard for hours.

"Are you all packed and ready?" Annise asked sliding into her seat next to Blaise.

"Yep," Blaise lied through a mouthful of pancake. He swallowed before adding, "You're not going to owl twice a day again, are you?"

"I suppose I can live with once a week," Annise laughed.

Blaise grinned at her. The floo suddenly chimed from the next room over. Blaise fist pumped the air and jumped up.

"Draco's here!"

"When did I get so popular?" The said boy asked quirking and eyebrow. His blonde hair was falling loosely around his eyes. He wore a fitted black shirt that complimented his skin perfectly, and a pair of blue jeans.

"Since you became my friend," Blaise explained with a smirk, tossing him a green apple. That's all Draco would eat in the mornings.

Draco caught it expertly with one hand. He brought the fruit to his mouth and took a bite while watching Blaise dance around the room. Blaise was trying to avoid the cold tiles floor. He really needed to wear socks more often. Annise smiled and rolled her eyes as she left the room.

"It's so cold!" Blaise squealed.

Draco laughed as juice ran down his chin. Blaise's family really did grow the best apples.

"Clean your face. There's juice running down it," Maddie demanded walking before mumbling, "Idiot."

"See, this is why I like your sister the best," Draco declared putting an arm around the younger girl, "Everyone else would start drooling. She insults me."

"What's there to drool about?" She asked slapping his arm away, "You're making a mess in my house. Clean up or get out."

"She's pretty great. Unless she's hexing you. Then its terrifying," Blaise shuddered.

"We leave in twenty minutes," Maddie reminded them before leaving.

"Twenty minutes?" Blaise exclaimed, "I didnt even pack yesterday!"

"Leave it to you to wait until the last possible moment," Draco muttered shaking his head.

Blaise dashed up the ivory stairs and into his room. Draco followed closely behind. The door was thrown opened to the messy room. Blaise began throwing things into piles of dirty clothes, clean clothes, books, important Hogwarts stuff, and I-have-no-idea-why-I-even-have-this. Draco sat back and watched in amusement. He found no need to remind Blaise that he was a wizard until the last possible moment.
