25 Getting Lost is Easy

" Louis! I'm finally going to be a big brother! " Draco frantically shakes his friend to express his delight of finally having another child in his family.

" Yes, I know. I was there when they announced it, now please stop shaking me. My breakfast is coming back up. " It was during the ball when Lucius and Narcissa announced that they'd be having a new addition to the family.

Draco at that time, was confused by what was said and thought that his parents meant getting another pet or something so he shrugged it off.

It was only after the ball, when he went up to his parents to verify what they meant did he understand he was getting a younger sibling.

The boy practically squealed in excitement and ran all around the Malfoy manor with a bright smile on his face. Louis, whom had stayed back after the ball, was happy for his best friend to have a younger sibling at last.

Though he did not expect Draco to violently shake him like a rag doll when the young Malfoy ran up to him.

Once the shaking stopped at last, Draco ran up to his parents and gave them a hug filled with happiness.

After years of being the only child, Draco was beyond excited to finally get a sibling he would most definitely spoil as much as he can.

The first week of school break went by smoothly. When the ball the Malfoys were hosting came to an end, the next few days would be relatively rushed for the Princetons.

Especially for Louis, he had forgot to inform his mystical friends that he'd be going overseas and was currently being swarmed by letters from them.

" I'm so sorry I forgot to tell you guys! I got too wrapped up in a matter that it slipped! I'll make it up to you guys okay? I'm sorry! " Was what Louis would write back for every letter sent to him.

" Having fun Louie? " Richard asks with epicaricacy clearly shown on his face.

" I was until you showed up. " Louis jokes. " Oh how you hurt my poor heart! " Richard feins putting a hand to his heart in a dramatic manner.

" So is Draco still coming with us for the holiday? " Justin asks to clarify to Natalia. " Don't know, I'll aks him the day before we head off. "

Cramming his clothes into his already stuffed suitcase, Louis decides it's time for a small break and check up and see if Draco's going to be going with them staying with his parents.

Writing his letter and sealing it up, Louis attaches it to their Dewy who in then flies off into the sky towards the Malfoy mansion.

" Only two days left before taking off. " He mumbles to himself as he watches Dewy fly off in the distance.

" Hey dad? " Louis calls from the living room. " Yeah son? What do you need? " Justin replies from the kitchen.

" When's the trip to Egypt? " The boy asks his father as he takes a seat on the couch, " During your second year Christmas break. " His father replies coming out from the kitchen with a cup of tea in hand.

" Then where are we going now? " Louis asks with confusion eminent on his face. Justin chuckles from Louis' expression.

" Why don't you ask your mother that? She's the one who planned it after all. " Ruffling Louis' hair, Justin rises from his seat and heads back into the kitchen for another cup of tea.

" Everyone got what they need? " Natalia asks the group at the airport.

Getting a collective response of ' Yes ' Natalia nods her head and asks again, " Did anyone forget anything important? Passport? Luggage? Your tickets I gave to you when we left the house? "

Another collective response of ' No ' and ' yes ' and everyone was ready. Now the Princeton family along with Draco were ready to head onto the plane for their vacation.

" So, we're going to Greece for the holidays. " Natalia casually says as everyone gets settled in their seats.

A sharp inhale of air comes from Annie, " Are you serious? " She squeaks out in excitement.

Draco sitting next to Louis - who was by the window - leans over and asks, " What's in Greece to make her like that? " Eyes shooting at the direction of Annie who can hardly control her squealing.

" She read on up on some stuff when we were younger, and she got hooked on the history and the inventions of Greece. It's the only thing aside from sword fighting that she really loves. "

Shrugging his shoulders, Louis slumps his head down onto the makeshift table and proceeds fall to sleep.

" It's a three and a half to four hour flight. Take a nap, trust me when I say you'll need it. " Richard Informs the confused boy as he too falls asleep with an sleeping mask over his eyes.

Heeding the advice of the young Princeton, Draco shuts his eyes to prep himself for a long day ahead after landing.

In the wee hours of the morning, the group of wizards have at last touched ground and are currently going to the luggage pick-up station for their luggage.

After fetching their luggage Natalia, Justin and Lyran brought the kids outside the airport to flag down a cab.

Lukas wasn't with them because he got caught up in some legal issues with the M.O.M from his last trip to France.

Getting off at the entrance of the hotel, the group of six head in to drop off their luggages and head out to explore Greece. First stop, Crete Region.

" No. " Natalia flat out refuses her son.

" Please? " Louis begs with big eyes. Lyran can be seen snickering in the background.

" Why in the name of Merlin's beard do you want to Samariá George? We've only been in Heraklion for an hour. " Natalia sent glares towards Lyran who was the reason why Louis wants to head of to Samariá George by himself.

" Ann and Richie have their own things to do here so I'm bored. And I've already explored every nook and cranny in this town. Please? " His eyes turned more pathetic.

Natalie's defenses are crumbling at the sight if her son, unable to resist, she can only sigh in defeat.

" Alright. You can go...." Louis' face lights up, " But on the condition that Lyran and Draco goes with you. " his face brightens even more while Lyran chokes along with.

" YES! YES! YES! " Louis celebrates happily while Lyran hysterically shakes Natalia, " Why?! I'll lose him five minutes in! " Being shaken like a shaker, Natalia laughs madly like a villain while Draco slumps to the ground in defeat.

" Bye! Have fun! " Richard and Annie wave off happily at Lyran as she gets dragged off by Louis with Draco in tow.

When night came at last, Lyran trudges into the hotel like the undead and slumps into the couch in the lobby.

" Had a nice day? " Natalia asks Evilly from behind the couch. " Hilarious, I lost him and Draco three minutes in and had to search every inch of Samariá George and I still couldn't find them. "

" Hi mom! Hi dad! " Louis happily greets as he licks his gelatin ice-cream at the entrance of the lobby. " Louis!? " Lyran exclaims in surprise at the sight of her nephew.

" Hi Aunt Lyran! I couldn't find you after a while so I gave up, but I did find some awesome things with the time I had! " Happily consuming his ice-cream completely oblivious to the state Lyran is in, he gives a small scoop to Bandit.

Draco who was behind him was eating his Gyro he managed to grab while Louis was dragging him all throughout Samariá George.

" Wait a minute, was Bandit with you two the whole time? " Lyran asks incredulous. " Yah, why? " Louis asks with a tilt of his head.

Staring at his expression, Lyran can only wave the matter off and lie back on the couch in defeat.

" What's the flavour of your ice-cream Louie? " Annie asks curiously as she takes note of the colourful colours, " cotton candy swirls. " Draco informs quickly, " You die from the sweetness, don't do it. "
