Draco leaned against a wall in a dark alley. He was waiting for two people essential for his world to balance and function properly.

"Draco!" he heard a female voice call. Spinning quickly around, he saw the flaming red hair of his significant other, even in the shadow.

"Ginny.." Draco said softly, giving her a tight hug. A tall, skinny boy of around 13, with a kind face, gentle brown eyes, and strawberry blonde hair stood behind his mother.

"Ben." Draco acknowledged with a rare smile and a brief hug. (Authors Note: Ahhh! Too much lovey dovey crap!! Save meee!).

"Are we still waiting for Harry?" Ginny asked, her tone suddenly serious. Draco answered with a brief shake of his white haired head.

"Is Uncle Ron coming, too?" Ben asked in barely above a whisper.

"Harry didn't give me all that much information." Draco admitted. They heard footsteps coming down they alley. In a flash, all three of them had their wands drawn (although Ben could barely do anything above stunning).

The person walking down stopped dead in their tracks.

"Damn Draco, don't kill me before I give you the information!" a familiar voice said, with a lot of nervousness.

"Harry!?" Draco asked in a hoarse whisper.

"No, Voldemort." came back the sarcastic whisper. Draco hadn't seen Harry since we was 17, when he left Hogwarts. They were both 29.

"Good to see you, Harry." Ginny said, pocketing her wand.

"We wanted to meet because your last owl…troubled us. Sirius hasn't been caught yet, has he?" Ginny continued.

"No. Not yet. There was a close shave about a month ago, though. He allowed some Muggles to glimpse him, to lift security off our town square, and for once, the Ministry didn't bungle things up. At least they haven't found out he's an Animagus yet." Harry said tensely.

"How's your Quidditch going, Harry?" Ben asked excitedly. He had never met Harry before, and had been struggling for ten minutes whether to ask the question. Just last week, he had seen him playing for the Chudley Cannons.

"Great." Harry said, failing to squash a smile.

A few hours later, Draco, Ginny, Harry, and Ben sat around a warm, comfy fire. The heat from the fire helped to keep them awake.

"Ron and Hermione should be here any moment." Ginny said, her voice sounding extremely worried. They were thinking of hiding Draco in the closet, to save him from being beat up when Ron saw him. Ben sat calmly, his face etched with lines of worry beyond his years, illuminated by the fire.

A brisk knock was heard and echoed throughout the silent house.

"I'll get it." Ben offered, leaping up.

In the main hallway, Ben twisted the silver knob and the brown door opened. A very tall man, who had the exact same flaming hair as his mother, and a woman who's bushy brown hair and kind smile immediately comforted him.

"Ron and Hermione, right? Everyone else is down here. Follow me." Ben said quickly, then started to briskly walk through the twisting marble halls.

"Wow. How did Ginny get so much money?" Rom wondered aloud, only to get an elbow in the ribs from Hermione.

They had walked into the huge, circular living room and Ben resumed his seat quietly.

"Wow…DRACO!?" Ron bellowed, noticing the top of his hair.

"Told you we should have put him in the closet." Harry said, his words muffled by his hand over his face. Hermione already had a firm grip on the back of his robes.

Draco only managed a weak smile, remembering the time he ended up in the hospital wing at Hogwarts because of Ron's fury.

"Calm down. We have more important issues to discuss at the moment." Ginny snapped.
