A/N: Thanks so much to all the reviewers!

EvilAngelOfDarkness: This probably won't be a B/S fic since it takes place when Spike is still bad.

WolfOfShadow: This takes place the summer before Draco's 7th year, even though this time in the 4th season is in the end of November-December, we're just going to pretend that Draco wouldn't be in school at this time. Sorry I didn't make that clear before.

Allen Pitt: I like the idea for Dru being a member of the Black family, but she probably won't be in this story because I've hated her ever since she killed Kendra. It's a nice idea, though!

Oh, and I know I said before that I wanted to make Riley and Buffy date in this story, but I changed my mind and they'll just be sort of friends or whatever, like they are at the actual time this episode takes place (close to the beginning of season 4).

Finally, to the story...

I can't even count all the things that were running through my brain at that moment. First of all, my father had sent me to a squib. I mean, I knew he was mad at me, but I didn't think he was that mad. Second, he was a VAMPIRE! Like the things we learn about in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Those creatures of the night that pop out at you and suck your blood.

"Can you please untie me?" my uncle/the squib/the vampire/Spike pleaded to the rest of the group. "I have a great nephew to take care of, here."

The other five exchanged glances, as though having a mental discussion about whether or not to untie him. Finally Giles sighed and gave in. He reluctantly untied Spike from the chair.

"Do I have to keep on reminding you all that I can't hurt you with this god-forsaken chip in my head?" Spike said, getting up and stretching out once Giles finished untying him.

There's a chip in his head? What kind of insane world do these people all live in?

"These weird military guys captured Spike and put a chip in his brain so he couldn't hurt anyone," Willow explained.

I nodded even though I was still puzzled beyond belief.

"Er... why don't I get you something to drink," Giles said, walking into the kitchen. "Tea? Water?"

"Water, please," I said.

"So, tell us a bit about yourself, Draco," Willow said. "It's not everyday that a wizard comes out of the fireplace." She grinned excitedly.

"Well, my name is Draco Malfoy and I go to Hogwarts School,"I explained. "I'm 17-years-old-"

"You're Lucius's kid, right?" Spike interrupted.

I nodded.

Spike laughed. "What'd you do to get him so mad that he would send you to a squib?".

I shrugged and could feel my cheeks starting to get hot. Spike laughed again.

"Not going to tell me, eh? All right, if that's how you want it..." he said.

Giles then approached me with my water. "Take a seat," he said. I sat down on an old and worn looking chair.

"You know what? I don't think I'll let you live with me unless you explain what you did to deserve it," Spike said.

I opened my mouth to talk but I was interrupted by Buffy, who hadn't really said much the whole time I'd been there.

"Wait, how can you live with Spike? One, he doesn't have a place to live, and two, he's hiding from the military people," Buffy said.

"Good point," Spike said, staring into the distance.

"Could he stay with you, Giles?" Buffy asked.

"Well, it's already hard enough with just Spike here, and... er..." Giles trailed off.

"Right, you already have enough to deal with," Buffy said. "How about you, Xander?" She asked, turning to him.

"Well, I think... Sometimes it- with Anya-"Xander tried to say.

"Oh, yes, that," Buffy said, glancing at Anya who was smirking at Xander. I didn't want to know what they were talking about. "Well, I guess the only place left would be Willow and my place".

'Willow and her place'? Like, I would have to be sleeping in the same room as a bunch of girls? No, they probably have some house and I could sleep on the couch... or something...

"Are you sure it would... er, be okay?" Giles asked, looking skeptical.

"Our only other option would be to try and send him back to his family," Buffy said, shrugging and looking hopeless.

Spike chuckled. "Once Lucius has made up his mind, his mind is made up. There's no going back for little Draco now." He laughed again, more menacingly.

I whimpered. This was horrible. First, I find out that my dad sent me to a squib/vampire, second, I find out that I have to stay with a bunch of girls? Okay, so Buffy was pretty hot, but that would make it all the more uncomfortable and she doesn't seem like the type of person that's easy to get into bed with. And now Spike's insulting my father!

I suddenly remembered something: School was starting soon! In less than a month! Yes! Thank you MERLIN!

"School starts for me soon, anyway," I said, trying to sound reassuring.

"That's good," Buffy said. "But you still need somewhere to stay until then. Get you're stuff, we'll go over now to drop your stuff off. We just have to make sure no one sees you going into our room."

What? I thought they lived in a house? I had a feeling that it was going to get even worse now...
