Chapter 1
"Harry, we're going to be late if you don't hurry up!" Draco said.
He was standing at the bottom of a set of stairs in a huge house out in the woods in the city of Forks, Washington. He was waiting for the last of his housemates to get ready for school. He stood at a manly height of 6' 1". He had a swimmer's build, lean but not lanky. His platinum blond hair, which was usually down to between his shoulder blades, was contained in a simple yet sophisticated braid. He was wearing a silver silk button up shirt with an emerald green polyester vest over it. His black jeans looked to be painted on. He was also wearing some very modern, but fashionable lace up boots.
Standing next to him was a petite blond. She stood at an elegant height of 5' 4". Her long curly hair reaching the small of her back was thrown over one shoulder. She was wearing a bright blue ankle length skirt that matched her eyes perfectly, unless she was having a vision. Then they were a stormy blue. She was wearing a pastel green button up shirt. To complete her ensemble she was wearing a pair of very sensible boots. They were wedges, not stilettos.
"Draco Daws, stop being impatient! He will be down in exactly one minute," she told him firmly, while her eyes were returning from their stormy blue to their usual bright blue.
"Are you sure, Luna? We're going to be late for our first day of Muggle high school," he whined.
"Draco, you should know by now that you need to trust Luna's sight," Harry said while walking down the stairs.
Draco looked up at him. He felt sorry for Harry, although he would never tell the brunette that. He didn't feel like getting hexed. Draco was 6' 1", whereas his 'twin' as they were pretending to be was only 5' 6". That came from his time spent at his relatives. There was nothing to be done.
"Did you have to copy my look on the first day of school?" complained Draco.
Harry was wearing on outfit very similar to his own. Harry's shirt was emerald green polyester while his vest was silver silk. His black jeans were the same as Draco's except in a smaller size. His boots though were a pair of very old fashioned lace ups. His hair was the same length as Draco's when down, but he too decided to wear it in a braid.
"Well we are supposed to pose as twins," Harry shot back while grabbing his bag that was at the bottom of the stairs.
"Whatever. What took you so long anyway?" Draco asked while looking at his 'twin'.
"Couldn't find my boots," Harry stated flatly.
"Well, boys, can we go now?" asked Luna.
"Yeah, I guess," they said.
--------Meanwhile-------
The Cullens were getting ready for school when Alice got a glimpse of three new students that would impact her family greatly.
"Alice, why are you going through the Greek alphabet?" asked Edward.
"Never you mind. If we don't hurry up we will be late for school," she told him extremely happy. She couldn't wait until after school.
"Bye, Esme!" Alice said while dragging Jasper out of the house and over to Edward's silver Volvo. "Rose and Emmett already left."
"Okay. Have a nice day, dears!" She said while walking up to her office to do some painting.
Alice and Jasper were already in the car by the time Edward got outside.
"Why are you so impatient today?" He asked her.
"I'm not telling. You'll just have to wait and see," she said in a sing – song voice while leaning into Jasper's side.
------- Back with the Daws--------
"So, whose car should we take?" asked Harry.
"We should take mine," said Luna. She was pointing to the light blue'76 Camero with the black stripe down the hood.
"Why? Can't we just take the Aston Martin?" asked Draco. He really wanted to drive and Luna wouldn't let anyone touch her car let alone drive it.
"No. We need to make an impression to one particular group of people," she said firmly. She knew why he wanted to take the Aston; she didn't like anyone to drive her baby.
"Luna, why do we need to make an impression on the first day of school?" asked Harry not really sure if he wanted to know the answer.
"I'm not telling. You'll just have to wait and see," she told him in a sing – song voice that drove her 'brothers' crazy.
"I hate it when you do that," Draco said while getting in to the passenger seat.
"Well let's go. We have like one minute to get to school," Harry said while getting comfortable in the backseat.
"Yes, let's go. Today is going to be some much fun," she giggled while peeling out of the drive way as soon as the garage door was up.
After a short half minute drive later, they found themselves pulling in to one of the few empty parking spots. Luna put the car in park and then all of them stepped out of the car simultaneously. Every student in the parking lot stopped what they were doing and just stared at the three new additions to the school's small population. All but one group of students were thinking the same thing, 'They are gorgeous. I wonder if they are related to the Cullens.'
When the crowd noticed that thee three were walking their way, they parted like the Red Sea to let them pass.
The three having noticed the stares, put on their pureblood personas and walked gracefully past the crowd like they weren't even there.
When they made it to the office, there was no one behind the desk, so they rang the bell.
"Yes, what is it?" called out this elderly woman's voice.
"We are here to pick up our schedules," Draco said.
"Oh, yes. Of course, I will be with you in a minute," they heard the voice say.
A few seconds later this elderly woman came out from a door behind the desk. Her already graying hair was starting to show white strand interwoven in it. From behind her librarian-like bi-focal glasses appeared kind hazel eyes. She looked to be about late 50's early 60's. She was wearing a sensible dress for this chilly November weather.
"What are your last names, dears?" she asked them.
"Daws," replied Draco. "My name is Draco Daws. This is my twin, Harry Daws. We are seniors. And this is our little sister, Luna Daws. She is a junior."
"Yes, of course. Here you are. You and your brother share every class except biology. He has chemistry," she said with a kind smile while handing over the schedules.
"Thank you," he said while taking the schedules and handing them to the other two.
"You are quite welcome. My, you are so very polite. I wish I met more young adults like you three. My name is Mrs. Pierce. You can come to me at any time if you have any questions. Oh! Before I forget, here is a map of the school so you won't get lost."
"Thank you. I don't mean to be rude but we need to head to class or we will be late," Draco said.
"Yes, of course. Hurry up now!" she said while trying to shoo them of to class in a very motherly manner.
With that they all headed to their respective classes.
--------Back to when they first arrived---------
The Cullens were utterly bored out of their minds. If they could, they probably would have died of boredom by now. Rosalie was filing her nails while Alice was painting hers an odd color. Edward and Jasper were rereading a book each for what seemed to be the millionth time. Emmett was listening to a football game on the radio.
They didn't notice when the trio showed up but they did notice when all of the students stopped in their tracks to stare at something.
They found out that they were staring at a beautifully painted '76 light blue Camero. Rosalie stopped fiddling with her nails to admire the hard work that the owner must have put into the car to make it look like it just came of the assembly line.
Emmett, Jasper, and Edward were watching the three people that got out of the car and made a beeline for the office. And Alice was smirking, not even stopping what she was doing to look and the new comers.
"Why are you smirking? You didn't even see the new kids. Unless…..," Edward trailed off.
"I'm not telling. Just wait until biology," she told him while grabbing her bag and getting out of the car. Everyone followed to do the same. While doing this, Edward was trying to probe her mind but all he got was the Greek alphabet.
"Edward stop probing and go to class!" she told him while pushing him in the direction of his first class.
Edward scowled at her and walked off to biology.
--------- Back to Draco on his way to biology---------
When Draco got to the biology classroom, he saw that he was the last person to enter. He went straight up to the teacher's desk and handed him his schedule. The teacher looked at it and then up to Draco and then to the class.
"Well, class, it seems we have a new student. This is Draco Daws," he told the class. "Is there anything you would like to share with the class, Mr. Daws?"
"I'm from London. I moved here with my twin brother and younger sister," Draco said impassively.
"Okay, thank you for that. Well the only seat that is available is the one next to Mr. Cullen," the teacher pointed to the only empty seat while handing Draco back his schedule.
Draco took it and made his way to the seat next to the boy who looked like he could sleep for a year and it still wouldn't have been enough. When he sat down he noticed though he wasn't like other boys; this Cullen kid was just like him.
It seemed that Edward came to the same conclusion because he uttered one word, "Why?"
"Change of scenery. If you want to know more you are going to have to meet me and my siblings after school," Draco stated so softly that if Edward wasn't a vampire he wouldn't have heard it.
"Fine," Edward ground out.
"Fine," Draco said mockingly. They didn't say a word to the other for the rest of the period.
When the bell rang signaling the end of class, Edward grabbed his thing and practically ran out of the classroom. Draco just shook his head and got up and left with the rest of the class.
For the rest of the day none of the three saw any of the Cullens until lunch. The trio walked into the lunch room, got the exact same thing for lunch, and sat in the corner of the lunchroom. When they saw the Cullens walk in, Luna waved Alice over.
"Alice, it is so good to finally meet you," Luna said while giggling at her brothers' confused faces.
"I feel the same way, Luna," Alice said while also giggling at her siblings' confusion.
"Wait, back up! Luna, you knew that we were going to have this confrontation and you didn't warn us!" said Harry remembering what Draco told him after 1st period.
"You knew there were people like us coming here and you decided not to tell us?" Jasper asked his wife.
"Oh, don't get your knickers in a twist. I didn't tell you because I knew that as soon as you knew there were others here like us. His is going to be our only chance to make friends with people just like us," Luna said in the tone they both recognized all to well. It was her putting-her-foot-down-and-that's-that-and-no-room-for-argument tone. The boys knew that they weren't going to win so they just gave up.
"What Luna said is true for us except you lot would want to eliminate any possible threat to procure the safety of the family. You don't have to worry. They don't pose a threat," Alice said in the same kind of tone. Jasper knew that if he argued, he would be staying in the dog house for quite a long while.
"Okay, fine. We still need to talk after school," said Rosalie huffing in annoyance.
"I agree with blondie," said Draco smirking.
"Why are you calling me blondie when you yourself are blond?" she asked with a sneer.
Harry interrupted Draco just as he was about to answer, "That's just how he is. You get used to it after awhile," he said with a shrug.
Draco was about to make a comment to his twin, when the bell rang and they didn't hear the scurrying of the student's feet as they tried to make their way to class on time. The two groups looked up and they found out that the whole lunchroom was staring at them open-mouthed.
"I think we shocked their poor human brains at the way the infamous Cullens are just chatting away with the new kids," Emmett said letting loose a booming laugh that shocked everyone out of their daze. The students all rushed to class barely on time for the tardy bell.
"We will meet you in the parking lot after school," Alice and Luna said together. "Jinx!"
They both started to giggle again while walking off to the rest of their classes.
