Disclaimer : All characters belongs to J. K. Rowlings. All were kidnapped in the dawn, and are not used to make money. They will be returned when I'm done.

See, don't own so don't sue, unless you're interested in my teddy bears collection...

Besides this work will contain people out of character since I am definitely not JK Rowlings, and some strange sentences since I'm French. Not to forget it's an AU... Still here?

So, on with the show...

I wrote this story as a whole so it is a little bit difficult to cut it into chapters. Feel free to tell me if there is any problems.

"No, why are they grounded?"

"Oh, they switched Nicholas' shampoo bottle with bright red dye. Muggle dye, of course." He raked his hand in his hair and was about to add something when...

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Get out of the way!" A silhouette with wild blond hair, its arms vawing madly and riding rollers appeared around a corner, in a direct collision course with the amber eyed man. He barely managed to avoid him and ended hanged by his knees on the bannister for his trouble.

He swinged for a few seconds before exclaiming "Fiu! That was close! It's good when it stops!"

"Ian, is that you?"

"Oops, didn't see you there, Aunt Narcissa! Coming down!" He swinged harder and released the grip his knees had on the bannister. Turning on himself in mid air, he fall back on his feet and skidded to a halt in front of Narcissa and Draco.

"May I be so bold as to ask of news of your health this day, fair lady?" He said after he had kissed Narcissa's hand, making her giggle.

He turned to Draco, a mischevious glint in his eyes. "Hello, and welcome to Grimmauld Place, also refered to as the Mad House, or the place from where all madness is drifting. Don't feed the beasts, and keep your hands to yourself at all time. Disregard this warning, and you're on your own. I'm Ian, and I am fourteen. You must be Draco, correct?"

Draco silently turned on his heels. He bumped into his father on his way out.

"Draco, where are you going?"

"And this is the place where you think I'll be safe? It's a real asylum."

"Well, I certainly warned you. By the way, shouldn't it make you one of the internee, hum?"

Everybody laughed at Ian's remark, and Draco's shocked expression. He noticed that even his father was wearing a small smile.

"Draco, follow the elf to your room." Draco turned to look at a House Elf who was tugging slightly on his sleeve. "This way, young master!"

"Luke, Alex, listen to your father" Both the twins shrugged and allowed the amber eyed man to herd them in the direction of their room.

"Ian, no skating in the house. Come to the library, there is something we need to discuss."

Ian nodded and skated to the library, smiling widely at Lucius all the while. Narcissa followed them and closed the door. Intrigued, Draco gave the House Elf the slip and ran back down the stairs. He tiptoed to the library's door and opened it a crack, just enough to see what was going on inside. It was an art he had perfected in Malefoy's manor, in order to always be informed. He was utterly shocked to see his parents hugging Ian, and said teen hugging them back with all his might.

Draco nearly jumped out of his skin when a hand glued itself on his mouth while an arm restrained him, and a laughing voice murmured in his ear. "You shouldn't spy on people, or at least if you do, try to pay attention to the rest of the world. What do you think would have happened, had I been a Death Eater?" a few chuckles, and the arm restraining him tugged him towards the stairs. "Come, I'll show you a better place to spy on them!" A hand grabbed his and forced him to climb the stairs two at a time. Whe he was finally released and able to catch his beath, he found he was faced with another teen with dark green eyes and brilliant red hair.

The other teen shrugged when he caught him staring at his hair. "The twins. Always check things they give you. Or your personal items. You can never tell what they will come up with if they are bored." He offered as explanation. "Anyway, I am Nicholas, as you must have heard. We are of the same age, which make us two of the three oldest members of our little menagerie. Tomorrow you'll get to know the last missing teen and the rest of the members of our group.

You are likely to get some stares and pranks, as we are all a little bit excited to get to know you. Even if we were aware of your existence, we have always been forbidden to approach you and this other one before. And now we get to!

As soon as the other adults arrive, everything will be explained, don't worry! Now, let's go to dinner!" He grabbed Draco's hand and tugged him towards the Dinning Hall.

Before eating Draco was introduced to Sirius and Remus Lupin-Black, the twins' parents. Dinner was a noisy affair, the adults speaking between themselves while Ian, Nicholas and the twins ganged up on Draco to grill him about life at Hogwards, the Hogsmead village and every thing they could think of.

Early in the next morning, they were awaken by a loud crash and cursing. Draco and Nicholas were the only ones awake, or caring, enough to bother getting out of bed to investigate. They were at the bottom of the stairs when they saw what, or better who, had caused this disturbance.

Harry slowly got up from his sprawled position on the floor and looked warily around. He sneered when his eyes landed on Draco, whose haircut nearly rivaled his. "Malefoy, I should have known! Is portkeying random people in your manor your idea of fun?

His eyes widened as he got a good look at the other teen. "I thought I had killed you in second year! So it is all a trap!" he drew his wand and aimed at the two others. "Proud of you Malefoy?"

Nicholas blinked "How cold you have killed me when it is the first time I meet you?" he pondered.

"Hey! Don't stand in the way of my breakfast!"

"Siri?" Harry was incredulous.

"Harry! Finally you're here!" Harry had only time to take a deep breath befre he was hugged so tightly he was nearly crushed. "You know you take after your mother, she prefered to do her homework in the morning, she claimed the common room was much more quieter at this time of the day without your father pestering her. And James, well he prefered to sleep till the last possible moment..." Sirius rambled on, not noticing Harry was off to la-la-land, his mind unable to add Malefoy and Sirius presence in the same room.

As soon as Sirius let him go, Nicholas extended his hand towards Harry. "Hello, I'm Nicholas. Welcome to Grimmauld Place. Let's get you some breakfast, come." Harry shook his hand and let himself be guided to the kitchen. "Lucius and Remus went to bring the last members of our group here. Everything will be explained then."

Harry nodded, a part of his brain still disconnected, but his stomach, who had growled with pleasure at the mention of food was, for it part, eager to follow the other.
