Title: Happenstance

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Authors Note: Ok here is chapter two, if you didn't see my repost of chapter one, I've decided not to keep BTVS in this story, because not enough people wanted it, and I don't want to confuse people who haven't seen Buffy. Also I have decided on the pairings, they're not exactly what you all wanted, but I thought it over, and I think this will work best for the fic. These are the definite couples:

Draco/Hermione

Harry/Ginny

Ron/Katie(from SoR not from HP)

Now for Freddy and Zach I am still not sure, I have never written slash before, and several people said no slash, so I'm not sure what I want to do, I'm going to give you all some options.

Vote either slash, or no slash.

If you vote no slash then the pairings will be Zach/Luna, and you have to pick between two of my own characters for Freddy:

Emma Lupin – Lupins ex had twins Emma and Daniel, who grew up with their mother, and stepfather. Lupin never knew about them, and they are reunited when the twins transfer from a muggle school in Chicago to Hogwarts, after their mother finds out that Voldemort has returned, and wants them to be able to protect themselves.

OR

Charlotte Granger – Hermione's cousin who attends Bauxbatons, and never realized that her cousin was also a witch. Charlotte transfers to Hogwarts when her family moves to England, because a company called the watchers council recruits her father. (Note: Charlotte will not be in the fic if you do not choose her for Freddy, where as Emma will be either way)

If you vote slash then the pairings will be Freddy/Zach, and Luna will be with the aforementioned Daniel Lupin.

Ok I think that's it, please review, and vote on the pairings, I want to be able to start working relationships into the fic, and I can't until I have these last few decided on. Ok thanks so much to everyone who reviewed, thank you's are at the bottom. Oh and sorry this chapter seems to have a lot of pointless chit chat, but I just wrote whatever popped into my head, and if it's boring I apologize.

Chapter 1: Parents of the Good, Bad, and Insane:

Freddy waved goodbye to Zach, and walked into his house, slamming the door as loud as he could to alert his 'parents' to the fact that he was home. He stomped through the front hall, and when he was sure they had heard him he walked into the living room and sat down on the couch to wait for them. Moments later they came down the stairs, and through the living room door.

"Ah, Freddy dear, your home already." Mrs. Jones said in a sweat voice.

"Enough with the pleasantries Joanne, lets tell him and get the hell out of here." Mr. Jones said sternly.

"It's ok Charles," Freddy said icily, purposely not calling him father, or sir, as he had been instructed to as I child. "I already know." Mr. Jones shared a look with his wife, before responding.

"What do you know?" He practically growled, not liking the fact that Freddy had called him by his first name.

"Charles please, calm down, he doesn't know, how could he possibly" Mrs. Jones put a hand on her husbands shoulder to calm him.

"Fine," Mr. Jones calmed down a bit, and turned back to Freddy. "Freddy, your mother and I have a plane to catch, so you better sit still and listen to what I've got to say."

"I already know!" Freddy growled, raising his voice a little.

"Don't be stupid Frederick, you don't know what you're talking about." Mrs. Jones said calmly. "Charles will you please just tell him so we can leave."

"How many times do I have to tell you, I already know what you're going to say?" Freddy growled, his voice full of hatred, the Jones's were now backing away from the angry teen. "Your going to say that your not really my parents, well I've got news for you, I always knew you weren't my parents, even before I found out I was adopted. Ever since the first summer you left me with the Moonyhams when I was six!"

"You sneaky little basterd," Mr. Jones hissed, "You've been spying on us?"

"I wouldn't have had to if you would've just told me that I was adopted in the first place!" Freddy yelled. "Maybe then I could have left and found my real parents, even if they gave me up, they would still be better parents then you ever were!"

Mr. And Mrs. Jones were now backed up against the living room door, as they watched Freddy yell at them, they could practically see the anger rolling off his body. It was pure and utter hatred, and the Jones found they were regretting the day they ever took him in. As Freddy stood there in the middle of the living room he didn't notice that it had started to rain, actually it was more then just raining, there was a full out thunderstorm going on.

As Freddy's anger grew the lights in the large house began to flicker, as the storm raged outside, and flashes of lightning lit up the sky. Just as Freddy's anger was reaching its peak a thundering clap of lightning crashed into the large oak tree just outside the living room window. Mrs. Jones screamed, as the tree burst into flames.

"What the hell do you think your playing at?" Mr. Jones yelled at Freddy, who was obviously confused and hadn't even noticed that it had started raining.

"I d-didn't do anything," Freddy practically whimpered, flashing back to the many times his so called father had yelled at him as a child.

"Charles I think it was an accident, he doesn't know anything about it." Joanne Jones said in a shaky voice. "Just tell him and get it over with, or I'll tell him myself."

"Yeah," Freddy said, getting back his courage, "If you've got something to say then say it."

"Alright," Mr. Jones said in a manner that was all about business. "You guessed right you are adopted, we didn't want you, and we were only repaying a favor to an old friend, when we took you in." Freddy looked like a sad puppy when he heard that.

"Your real name if Frederick Malfoy, and your mother, Narcissa, has decided she wants you back. She will be sending someone to pick you up at some point during the next week, and where they take you after that, I have no idea, and to be honest I don't care." Freddy now looked like a sad puppy that had just been kicked.

"We expect you to have cleared out all of your possessions from the house, by the time we get back. You're to stay here at all times, because we don't know when you are being picked up. This means no trips to the Moonyhams, and no going to that stupid old mans house, beating on drums." Freddy growled at how Mr. Jones described Dewey, as he watched him leave the room.

"Oh, and we would appreciate it if you would refrain from contacting us." Mrs. Jones said as she followed her husband out the door. Within a few minutes they had gotten their luggage from upstairs, and were out the front door.

Freddy watched as the people he had believed to be his parents got in their car and drove away. As he looked out the window he noticed how it had suddenly gotten incredibly sunny out, and if he hadn't have witnessed it himself, he would not have believed that only a few minutes ago it had looked like a hurricane was passing through.

Freddy wiped at his wet eyes, refusing to let the tears fall, and kicked the side of a chair near the window, before pulling his drumsticks out of his pocket, and heading up the stairs to his bedroom. Once there he sat down behind his drum set and beat on them aggressively, until he couldn't stand it anymore, and he finally broke down and cried.

Zach was so absorbed in his thoughts he barely even realized that he had arrived at his house, until he heard his dad, who was mowing the lawn, call out to him as he passed. Zach stopped in his tracks and frowned slightly before taking a few steps back and going up the front walk of his house.

"Those must have been some pretty deep thoughts for you to completely pass the house." Mr. Moonyham pointed out, as he walked up the front walk with his son, seeing as he had finished mowing the front lawn, and was now taking the mower around to the back of the house.

"Oh, it was nothing," Zach replied, his mind still on the conversation Freddy's' parents had been having.

"Oh just nothing?" Mr. Moonyham said, "Well I'll be out back if you want to talk about it." Zach watched his dad walk down the path that went around the side of the house to the back, before he walked up the front steps, and entered the house.

Entering the kitchen he saw his mom unpacking several grocery bags, while talking on her cell phone, and being the nice guy that he was he put his stuff down on a chair and helped her put the groceries away. Once they had finished his mom was still on the phone apparently talking to one of her friends, who was having a crisis or something, but she smiled a thank you at him, before he grabbed an apple and a jar of peanut butter, and headed up to his room.

Mrs. Moonyham watched her son leave, realizing that there was very obviously something wrong, she shrugged it off and figured he would tell her if it were anything serious, that's just how Zach had always been. He was really way to mature for his age.

Up in his bedroom Zach sat on a beanbag eating peanut butter dipped apple slices, which always seemed to be his food of choice when he had important things to think about. Deep in thought about what was going on with Freddy, he just couldn't get over the weird feeling he had about the whole situation. Ever since Zach had been accepted to a witchcraft and wizardry school in Salem when he was 11, he had grown accustomed to weird things happening, but there was something about this that he just couldn't shake.

After finishing his apple, Zach put the top on the peanut butter jar, and went to put it away in the kitchen, where he grabbed the cordless phone, and headed back to his room. Quickly punching in the numbers he had memorized since he was 12, he flopped down on the beanbag chair once more, listening to the phone ringing on the other end. Just when he was about to hang up Katie answered.

"Hello?" Katie said slightly out of breath, obviously having just run to pick up the phone.

Zach sighed in relief, he knew if he could talk to anyone about this it would be Katie, seeing as she was the only person of the magical world that he had known before starting at the Salem institute, and also the only one who knew Freddy. Both Katie and Zach had been offered a place at the summer program in Salem after their parents had refused to let them move to the school full time during the school year.

Zach had decided to go right away, but Katie hadn't wanted to leave the band for a whole summer. Of course once she found out Zach was leaving for the summer she told the band she was going to a summer camp, and went off to learn magic. Needless to say the two band mates were rather surprised to run into each other on the magical train they had caught to Salem.

"Katie, it's Zach."

"Oh, hay Z, what's wrong, shouldn't you be at Freddy's house right now?" Katie asked, knowing that Zach and Freddy normally spent the last day of school packing Freddy's stuff for the summer at Zach's house.

"Actually that's kind of why I called," Zach told her, "Something weird is going on."

"Do you mean weird for normal people, or weird for us?" Katie asked.

"Both, I think, I'm not really sure."

"Maybe you should tell me exactly what happened, and I'll see if I can help, I mean I am the top witch in our class next to you." Katie said proudly.

"Only because you threatened that Martin guy that if he scored higher then you on the O.W.L.'s then you would beat him up." Zach pointed out.

"Details, details," Katie replied, "Now on with the story." Zach grinned slightly remembering how very scared the guy, Martin, had been, and that guy was a rather large quiditch player, he could kill someone just by sitting on them.

"Ok," Zach sighed, "So here's what happened..." Zach proceeded to tell Katie all of what happened at Freddy's house, and when he had finished he waited for Katie's advice.

"Um..." Katie tried to think of something to say to the load of information Zach had just dropped into her lap. "That's just... whoa... and yeah, whoa"

"Katie, full sentences might be helpful here." Zach pointed out, "I was hoping you could help me decide what to do."

"Oh, yeah sorry Zach, but wow, that's pretty crazy, I mean I've heard all sorts of shit about how awful the Malfoy family is, I just can't believe Freddy could be related to them." Katie said.

"It's just a name," Zach said more to himself then to Katie, "It doesn't change who Freddy is."

"Of course not, but I think you should wait until you talk to Freddy, and stop jumping to conclusions." Katie pointed out.

"Yeah, yeah, I guess your right." The normally cool headed Zach replied.

"Of course I am."

"You don't have to gloat." Zach muttered.

"Oh but I want to!" Zach could hear the grin in Katie's voice.

"Whatever," Zach said grumpily, "Did you get your new course list yet?"

"Yup, I got it last week, I can't believe we don't have to buy a book for Defense class." Katie replied.

"As opposed to last year when we had 12 books," Zach remembered, "I swear that old man is going crazy."

"Going? He's already there, I heard he went ballistic after some council of watchers or something refused to hire him in 97, and he tried to kill a man." Katie said excitedly.

"Katie...." Zach groaned, he had had this conversation with her more times then he could remember, she always seemed to have some new bit of gossip about their defense against the darks arts teacher being crazy or a murderer. Zach and Katie talked on the phone for almost a half hour, until they noticed there was some sort of freak storm going on. But by the time they noticed the storm, it was over, and the sun was shining again.

"That was weird" Zach said after a while.

"Yeah," Katie replied, "That was definitely of the weird."

"And speaking of weird, I better see what's holding up Freddy." Zach sighed. After saying goodbye to Katie, and promising to call her if anything happened, he hung up the phone and dialed Freddy's phone number.

Zach let the phone ring until the machine picked up, then he tried Freddy's cell, but it went straight to voicemail. 'Damn' Zach thought, 'what's going on over there? Why isn't Freddy picking up?' He tried Freddy's house again, but still there was no answer. Throwing the phone on his bed he grabbed his cell phone, and slipped it into his pocket, before running down the stairs and into the kitchen, where he found his mom still on her cell phone, talking to the same friend.

"Mom?" he said trying to get her attention. "Mom?" Mrs. Moonyham looked up at her son, and smiled, before putting a finger up indicating that she would talk to him in a minute.

Zach, knowing his mother, realized that it would probably be more like an hour before his mom was able to get away from her chatty friend, So he searched around for some paper, and scribbled a quick message, saying he was going to Freddy's and would probably spend the night. He pushed the note in front of his mom, who scanned the note, while still listening as her friend rambled on.

Mrs. Moonyham looked up at her son and smiled, indicating that it was ok, and made a gesture for him to call later that night. Zach grinned in thanks, before running out of the house, and rushing to Freddys.

Zach couldn't help but think that something strange was going on, but he shrugged it off, as he turned up the front walk of the Jones's house, hoping that everything was all right, for the sake of his best friend, and for the sake of his sanity. Zach nervously stepped up to the front door and knocked.

'Knock, Knock, Knock.' Draco knocked on the door to his mother's bedroom for the third time, before she appeared at the door, pulling it open.

"Oh I'm sorry Draco dear, I must have fallen asleep." Narcissa Malfoy said slowly, practically looking through her son.

"It's ok mum," Draco said softly, "I've finished packing my stuff, how will I be getting there?"

"Oh..." She said sadly, "I hadn't thought of that." 'Great' Draco thought, 'what is she getting me into.'

"That's ok mum, why don't you just make me a portkey with this watch." Draco suggested, he would have done it himself, but he was not yet 17 and under aged wizards were not allowed to make portkeys themselves.

"Alright dear," Narcissa said, walking back into her room, leaving the door partly open. She started sifting through papers and clothes that covered her bedroom floor, in search of her wand.

"Mum, why is it such a mess in here? What happened to the house elves?" Draco asked, and she just looked up at him confusedly, and he took in the mess of her room.

"I gave them some of your fathers clothes, and they all left, I don't know why though." Narcissa said, as she continued to search through her things.

"Oh," Draco looked at his mother like she had gone crazy, "Um...Did you lose your wand? You can't do the spell without a wand."

"My wand?" She looked around confusedly, "I lost my wand."

"That's ok mum." Draco said, sadly, "I'll figure something else out."

"Ok dear," She said absently, "You better go get ready Dumbledore is coming by soon."

"I've already gotten ready, when is Dumbledore coming?"

"Thursday." Narcissa replied.

"Mum, Thursday is tomorrow, not today," Draco said, sympathetically, "Why don't you go to sleep now, I'll wake you in the morning before he gets here."

"Ok Draco dear, but don't forget to wake me." Narcissa said as she let her son guide her to her bed, where she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

"Don't worry," Draco sighed as he pulled the large comforter up from the foot of the bed to cover his mothers sleeping body. He kissed her lightly on the cheek before blowing out a candle on her nightstand, and leaving the room.

He trudged around the large mansion gloomily, looking in and out of the large rooms filled with portraits of Malfoys that had come before him. All of which sneered at him as he passed, even the portraits could tell that despite all his trying Draco had failed to live up to his fathers expectations. Trying as best as he could to ignore the paintings of his ancestors Draco made his way to his room, where he lay for hours thinking about all that had happened since his father escaped from Azkaban, before sleep finally claimed him, and he drifted off.

Draco woke early the next morning feeling like he hadn't slept at all, he sat in his room, until an hour before Dumbledore was said to arrive. At which point he went to wake his mother, which proved more difficult then he had apprehended, but nevertheless he made sure she was awake, and ready when Dumbledore arrived around 10:00 am.

"Hello young Mr. Malfoy, Narcissa how good it is to see you again." Dumbledore greeted as he came through the fireplace.

"Hello Professor." Draco said, as his mother just smiled at the old man, before moving away from the two, and sitting at a desk a few feet away where she began playing with a chess set that had been set up there.

"I'm sure your mother has informed you of the situation with your younger brother?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes sir."

"Good, good." Dumbledore replied, "Now your mother and I have decided it would be best for you to stay with young Frederick as long as it is possible, but we don't want you to be in any danger, so I would like you to floo me immediately if you are contacted by your father, or one of his associates. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Draco replied.

"Do you have any questions?" Dumbledore asked. Draco thought on it for a moment.

"What happens if I do hear from my father?"

"Ahh, that is something I cannot tell you while we are under this roof," Dumbledore said, with a slight twinkle in his eye, "But I want you to know that I am moving your mother to a safe house, and if you are found, then your brother and yourself will be moved to the same house."

"Oh." Draco said.

"Is there anything else?"

"No, no, well actually..." Draco hesitated, "Do you.... Do you think your could make me a portkey, cause my mother seems to have lost her wand, and I..." Draco stopped talking as he saw that Dumbledore had pulled out an empty candy box and handed it to him.

"What's this?" Draco asked, looking down at the yellow box that read 'lemon heads'.

"It's a muggle candy I have become quite fond of over the years," Dumbledore replied, "Would you like to try one I'm sure I have another box around here somewhere."

"Errr...No thanks, but is this my portkey?" Draco questioned.

"Oh yes, did I forget to mention that?" Dumbledore grinned. "Now Mr. Malfoy this portkey is set to leave at exactly noon, so you better be sure to have your luggage with you and ready when the time comes."

"Yes sir, I will." Draco replied.

"Alright then if that is all I will be on my way, do tell your mother I will be sending someone to pick her up not long after you leave." Dumbledore said as he walked back over to the fireplace, and lifted threw some floo powder in.

"Oh and the address is inside the candy box, good luck." He said just as he disappeared.

Draco watched him go before looking at the clock that hung above where his mother was playing chess against herself. It was only 10:45; he still had over an hour left to go. Sighing deeply he walked over to his mother, and sat down next to her.

"Would you like me to play you?" Draco asked, his mother just nodded, so he quickly set up the board, and made his first move. For the next hour he sat and played chess with his slightly senile mother, while watching the time slowly pass by. He couldn't help but think,

'Gee, I feel like I'm in that muggle story, Psycho' at that thought he gave off a small laugh, and made his next move.

TBC...
