"That's impossible, you can't be that young if you were a friend of my
dad's."
"Are you sure of that? All four of the protectors are older than they look, they are all much older then even me." Draco's eyes were still wide, but they grew wider. He felt another presence in the room and turned, to see Lucky and Misty, holding Harry and Ron by one foot about a foot off the floor.
"Look who we found snooping around outside."
"Malfoy?" Ron asked as if he couldn't believe it.
"Starr was just about to tell us your real ages."
"Oh, be sure to get it right this time." Lucky demanded.
"Alright. Well, Misty was born in the year 1053 BC, that makes her 3053 years old; Lucky was born in.3752 BC, that makes her.5752 years old; Shiji and I were born in 5999 BC, that makes us 7999 years old." Draco felt his knees locking under him. Shiji was still on the floor, working to get his balance. Draco was loosing his balance and Shiji dived to grab him before he hit the hard stone. Draco felt Shiji hit the stone, then all was black.
Draco woke up in a strange room he had never seen before.
"Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?" Lucky's face filled his view.
"Get out of his face, he needs to breathe." Starr commanded, pushing Lucky onto the floor.
"You could ask instead of just pushing me over."
"Girls, please," Shiji stuck a hand between the two, "this is not the time to argue. We don't have the time. First, we have to make sure Mr. Malfoy will be alright with that bump on his head."
"Don't worry about him, I can handle it." Starr cut in. Shiji frowned at her.
"As I was saying.second, we need to make sure that Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley are alright. Then, we have to check on Voldemort's new accomplishments, let's hope there are not many." Lucky left the bed side where they were standing and went to another bed, where Draco saw Ron's red hair sticking out from under the covers. Misty walked to yet another bed, where Harry's glasses were on the night table. Shiji bowed to the girls and left the room.
"You'll be alright, just rest," Starr's voice was soothing to Draco's ears, like a song.
"Is it all true?" Starr smiled and nodded to him. She was sweet, and very pretty. She brushed his hair out of his eyes carefully. She really did seem only his age, by her looks and attitude. "How is it possible?"
"I'll tell you when you wake up, but for now, go to sleep." She ran her hand over his eyes softly. Her touch was enough to put him to sleep. "I'll be right here when you do," that was the last thing he heard before slipping into distant dreams.
