Chapter 2: Some Unexpected Guests
Now that they were inside Draco could inspect the soaking children.
The boys looked about four or five. One -- the one that had spoken to him-- had hazel eyes, and black hair that reached down to his chin. It was slightly damp; intertwined with all the other separated locks.
The one next to him, however, had brown hair, also down to his chin, and -- at an angle-- red-ish highlight, with a pair of light brown eyes. Lastly, on the farther end there was a boy wearing a slightly dirty cap, his eyes were always on the floor, and his hair may have been blond, you couldn't tell, it was all in the cap.
"Here," Said Draco, as he conjured up three blankets. On the coffee table, three mugs off warm coco appeared. The boys took the blankets and the coco nonchalantly, as if they did it everyday. Draco was surprised, although he didn't let it show. 'At least I know how they got past the wards' He thought. 'They are obviously no ordinary children.'
The wards now need to be fixed. Most of them were cast by Bill, Ginny's older brother. Although, he didn't know his little sister would be staying with Malfoy. Draco was believed to be a deatheater on the run. Of course, with the ministry in chaos, they barley had time to find death eaters. 'FOCUS! The wards...'
Now, while Draco had been reminiscing, the three had been sipping coco, staring at him with fear.
'Do you think he hurt us?'
'There's always possibility, always be on guard'
'Right'
'I agree,'
"Constant Vigilance" Said the black-haired one, this snapped Draco out of his reverie. 'How does this kid know Moody's favourite saying?'
"Why did you say that?" Draco asked, successfully keeping the suspicion out of his voice.
"I-I d-d-don't k-know" Answered the black-haired boy, obviously startled.
'Why did you say that?'
'I don't know'
"Okay than, what are your names?" Draco asked, turning to look at the other two, but the same dark haired boy answered.
"This is Connor," He said, gesturing to the redhead.
"L" He said, pointing to the blond boy. Draco had to hold back a snort, 'L'? What kind of name is that?'
"And I'm Tom" he concluded.
"Well, To --" Draco was cut off when the door was flung open,
"ARGG! Draco! Where are the bloody keys I can't find them anywh --" Ginny stopped in her tracks, ogling at the frightened kids. "And, um, who are our guestsDraco" She asked, turning her eyes--which were furious—to said Slytherin.
"These are our... unexpected, guests"
A/N: Sorry about the shortness, I'll make up for it, promise!
