Tweak says, "mercury is in retrograde, bewa"

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, and Parvati had popped out to run some errands for an hour or so. Having wandered around Malfoy Manor aimlessly for about ten minutes, Draco finally decided to relax in the garden with an ice cold beer. Having just had his first sip, a house elf interrupted his train of thought with a tray of chicken salad sandwiches and an announcement.

"Sir, your brother is here to see you. Shall I send him to you?"

Nodding his assent, Draco straightened up slightly and instinctively combed his hand through his hair. It was really only Parvati who ever saw him in a truly relaxed state at this point in his life.

It was a bit weird sometimes, having the house-elves titter about to check with the man of manor seeing as Iggy still hadn't fully come to terms with Draco being the head of the family. It was odd seeing his older brother lording over the house they had grown up in, played in, and occasionally hid in (The latter from the previous man of the manor, their father). Draco was always so many steps ahead of him in life. Sometimes it sucked being the little brother.

Clearing his throat awkwardly as he walked through the house toward the garden, Iggy thought over the things he wanted to say to the elder Malfoy. He had rehearsed the words many times, but they still made his ears grow red. Emotion wasn't something Malfoys did on a regular basis. He had to admit, that seeing his brother with his wife had done leaps and bounds for their own relationship. Afterall, seeing stern Draco Malfoy bend to the cuddles of his bouncing Gryffindor had made him a little less fearsome overall.

Iggy had waited, watching from the Dowager house across their land, until said wife had left and then made his way over to the Manor. Outside, he found his brother sipping on some beer with impeccably groomed hair as always. For a moment Iggy felt awkward about his messy blonde locks and hurriedly tried to style it. Forever the youngest, always trying to copy the elder.

"Hey, Draco." He greeted. "What's up?"

"I have an hour of peace and quiet before the tornado returns," Draco smiled easily. "Did you want a drink or food?" he asked, reaching over to grab a sandwich for himself. This form of casual eating was foreign to the Malfoys-- every meal was very proper and ornate, served in the dining room with silver ware. But things were different now on the grand, sweeping property. It wasn't uncommon to see a jug of fresh squeezed lemonade sitting on around, a bag of chips on the coffee table, or the lady of the house curled up on the couch with a bowl of three sickle noodles from an instant packet.

An unannounced visit was also uncommon for the Malfoys, but Draco assumed that Iggy too was embracing a more open lifestyle. Not that Draco necessarily approved, in that respect... he still liked to send an owl over before dropping in on any one he knew.

	Draco's eyes immediately landed on Parvati's shopping. "Didn't you already reach your monthly limit?" Draco raised an eyebrow disapprovingly. "And nothing's going on. What on earth did you buy?" he removed Parvati from his back as if she was a child and moved towards her precious collection of paper carrier bags. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
