Been really into Fred/George/Draco recently
They first all meet after Ron gets hexed by Draco just days after they all get to hogwarts, he tells Fred and George and like good older brothers they go confront the brat to just scare him and maybe make him cry to only walk up to him and have Draco look them up and down with a disgust face and say "Ew there's more of them?" he goes to walk away but Fred gets in front of him and George says " there are four others too mate, all been at, going to, or will be attendin' school here, were everywhere." Draco just shrugs "I'm not surprised, weasels are like most rodents who over produce until one is successful, apparently you two weren't good enough." Owned by some fucking eleven year old, because they are far too good of people to fight a kid younger than them no matter how annoying, they just let him walk away.
They hardly interact from there on, only a few occasions. Once they got hold of the map they would spy on Draco and then plot to annoy him for messing with their brother again. They wouldn't do anything too big, not daring to get into more trouble than they already do, but they would try out multiple spells to make it sound like there was a fly by Draco, to always push his hair in front of his face, small things. None of which were ever successful, they soon realize well of course not, probably every person that has been at hogwarts has tried to pester Draco and he has become nearly numb to it.
The only other time they interacted at hogwarts was when Umbridge came. The twins were CONSTANTLY fucking around with potion materials and failing at the simplest shit and Severus stressed out of his fucking mind just pulled the twins after class and dragged them to a spare potion room where Draco was and simply stated "You will educate these imbeciles and you two will behave and listen otherwise all of you will lose more points than you will comprehend." and just leaves, knowing damn well the twins were only fucking up potions to plot against Umbridge and knowing Draco didn't like her either because it meant he had more eyes on him by his father, and because Snape wants that bitch out. Draco teaches them after constant bickering and name calling. The twins are also soon weirded out because time and time again, even if they lied, Draco always was able to tell them apart. "You're such a spoiled brat, no wonder you're an only child" "more like lonely child" Fred and George say one after another after a night of Draco constantly pointing out their faults, telling them that if they are not careful that someone will be killed or injured. "I enjoy my privacy and quiet." He tries to rebuttal only earning a scoff, the topic then changes to how its Bills birthday soon and how after that its Charlies which means back to back month birthdays and they let it slip the ages they are turning for only Draco to stare in horror. "Wot-" "I thought you were all about family and yet you let your father do that to her so soon? Seven times?" A SCREAMING match then ensues because now the twins are offended that Malfoy would even accuse their father of anything. Snape comes in, after Draco storms out suddenly when his eyes redden leaving the twins without a chance to see him cry much to their disappointment, to have them explain how they were in the right. "You're mad at him for caring about your mother?"
Twin.exe takes a moment to compute before shrugging it off, realizing that yeaaah no shit Draco doesn't know how families are supposed to be healthy and would assume everyone parents are just evil and abusive to each other, and cleaning up half of the mess, Draco comes back wobbling and exhausted, only after they leave , to clean the other half and be scolded by Snape for acting out and embarrassing him by letting his emotions get the best of him, but lets him know that he knows Molly and Arthur personally and they are very good people. They stop the tutoring, but its only a few days later when the twins pull the massive prank on Umbridge and also Draco as payback for insulting their father.
They don't see each other again until the war were Draco after the war. Dracos father is locked up, his mother fled to somewhere he doesn't even know. He hasn't been back in the mansion in ages. He catches wind of an explosion that happened at Weasleys Wizard Wheezes the first month it opened, causing the paper to spark controversy over such a store and how many are concerned about it and that it is at risk to shut down. Draco wonders into the mess one late evening, taking note of the items around the area of impact. "Who let you in?" One says, Draco looks up at Fred, then back at the hole in the wall that leads to the street, then back at Fred again, then back at the h-"Right well what you doin here, Malfoy?" he suddenly cuts in. Draco then goes on a tangent about how he specifically explained to the twins before that they cant put certain ingredients next to each other due to needing different temperatures and if the aroma of one gets into another it can lead to an explosion. "Well its not like we can do that with such small a space." George then walks in. Draco then explains that yes, you can if you just dilute one of them and add a simple ingredient causing the components of the potion itself to be not only just as potent, but explosion free as well. Fred and George just stare at Malfoy, it didn't hit them how much of a nerd he was about potions until right this moment. The twins ask him to prove it, and so he does, waltzing right into their 'mind lab' and doing just as he said. Draco leaves without another word. The fix up the hole in the wall and continue business with the new improved potions.
Draco then accidentally makes a habit of randomly dropping in to do quality checks on the items. He points out faults in them all and goes back into the workspace to prefect it. Very quickly the store doubles in clientele and size itself. Draco is more often than not now just brewing in the back or in the upstairs apartment attached to WWW reading when the noise gets too much for him. After closing the twins go up to only find that Draco cooked them all dinner. Twins are suspicious at first but it is fucking incredible, no duh the god son of a potions master is good at potions and thus good in the kitchen, its basically the same thing. They eat peacefully and even break out some wine. Sooner or later after a second bottle was opened they all end up in bed and fuck to the point that the twins swear Draco passes out on them after the second time coming due to how much it is.
The twins wake up to no Draco and panic a bit, only to hear Draco coming out of the bathroom from a shower. "Tea?" he asks. "That would be great." "Good because you have some in the kitchen to make yourself, I'll be going now."
They don't really put a label on what they have become, Draco is more often than not at their place, working in the back. It isn't until Harry, who turns out to basically be Dracos patrol officer, stops by after he asked Draco what he has been up to. He checks the 'mind lab' that has essentially just been turned into Dracos brewing room and nods. "I think this is very good for all three of you, its a good...friendship you all have." After he leaves the twins ask Draco if he sees them as friends only. "I don't shag my friends, do you?" "no" "then we are not friends then." "then what are we-" "partners if you must label it." "Like boyfriends?" "Correct." "Well who is it then?" "Yes." "No , which of us are you picking to be your boyfriend." "Both of you have been my boyfriends." "Well you cant pick both- can he?" "You two share everything, and I am rather greedy, why cant I have both?" The relationship was established and agreed upon from there on.
Ron catches wind that Draco is working with his brothers and immediately assumes that he is plotting to ruin his brothers reputation. Ron looks all over the place and stalks Draco to find any evidence of this happening. He cant find anything, and the twins are frustrated having to hide their relationship with Draco from their own family. After a small fight Draco breaks down and starts to cry only to pass out. Turns out Lucius put a curse on him at a very young age that any time he cried, happy or sad, he would fall asleep so he wouldn't be bothered. After a long, long, long talk they agreed to slowly start to tell people about their relationship, starting with Harry. Harry only says "..I knew that already." "How?" the twins say in unison. "Mates your hair has never looked more shiny, You gotta be really close with another man to be using his shampoo." Draco is once again irrationally angry that Potter once again got the best of him somehow. Draco tells Hermione next after a very long apology. "For Merlins sake we are all going to be family now, cant wait to see you in a bright red jumper." "As if I would sink that low-"
They eventually tell the rest of the family, Ron is angry to high heaven, Ginny acted surprised and upset even though once Harry knew he debated it with her and once it was confirmed they talked about it until dawn just speculating. Molly is happy to have Draco into the family, mainly because that must mean if Draco can handle 'The most rambunctious of the family, then he can handle anyone.' and they start to bond over making sweets. Draco also gifts Harry some of Snapes old things, but gave Arthur some of Snapes muggle things as well. "I just cant believe it, I just don't understand." Ron says "I'm sure when your brothers saw on the map you were constantly sleeping with a man named Peter they didn't understand either, you don't have to understand. You can just accept it. Merlin knows I have been trying." Draco says after maybe a few too many shots of whiskey. Harry BUSTS out laughing at the mere thought of that, not ever realizing that.
Time goes on, the twins have taken time out of their day at points to mess in the ' mind lab ' without Draco, kicking him out and forcing him to socialize with strangers on the main store floor. It isn't until Harry also starts to join the twins in this secretive operation that Draco is finally getting worried. He finally brings it up with the twins over Dinner. "We arnt cheating on you we swear" "Obviously not I'm too attractive and smart." "We are just working on something you need to trust us with." Draco nods and he doesn't ask again. More time goes by and eventually they all head back to the burrow for a small spring vacation. Draco isn't shocked that everyone else is there too, might as well take vacation at the same time as your family and friends so you can hang out. One morning the twins wake Draco up early and sit in the kitchen with him and Harry. "I have to lift some...security spells that were placed on you...when you were you know...under investigation." Draco could hardly remember the blur that was, the constant waiting game in the cell drove him mad. He simply nodded and agreed to it. It was a bit painful, he felt his heart bounce in his chest and he swore he would puke but didn't.
The twins, and Harry, keep an eye on Draco all morning as when the afternoon came Hermione, Ginny, Fleur and Molly kidnap him for tea. They talk fondly until Ron comes over asking to join, he sits down and it surprisingly goes well. The two even playfully banter about how awful the twins taste in music is.
Down by the beach now as the sun sets the twins finally steal Draco away from their family and friends. They sit together on a small blanket, just listening to the waves until the twins exchange a glance and move to sit more in front of Draco. They explain their love for the blond, how they cant go on in life without having the best creation of all not have their name on it. They both propose to Draco and immediately he begins to tear up, he tries to calm himself down but sure enough he beings to cry not ever thinking he was worthy of actual love, always assuming he would be in a loveless marriage. It isn't until the tears fall onto his hand where two rings interlock magically and become one with two gems that he realizes that he isn't falling asleep. "I'm awake." "And engaged." "I'm awake" "It took us some time and Harries help, but we figured a way to reverse the spell...only for a day, but we swear we wont stop working on it until we can make it permanent because we-" "-DIdnt want our sleeping beauty miss his own future wedding-" "-so we figured we might as well test it when proposing." they explained. At that moment Draco felt loved, not only by his soon to be husbands, but by his new family and friends he has made now too. He wasn't lonely anymore, never will be.
