The peace of a sleeping house in the morning, the sunlight streaming in, birds chirruping, and brrrring, brrrring "Ah crap!" Anna exclaims as she feels around for her cell phone. "Hello?"
"Good morning, Natasha. How are my boys?" King Lucius asked over the phone.
"Umm...they are just fine, not making any trouble. How are you?" Anna asked bewildered, thinking 'Is he not supposed to be in jail?'
"I'm fine, considering the fact that I am sitting in a jail cell right now in Azkaban, could you possibly stay a few more….months, and I will pay you extra." King Lucius replied.
"Sure, I'll new some more clothes but I'll manage, listen your son is waking up, I have to go" Anna said hurriedly as Draco started stirring.
"My son? You mean that…." King Lucius never finished his sentence because Anna hung up on him, as Draco rolled over.
"Mornin, beautiful, who was that?"
"Your dad, he says hello"
"MY DAD, did you tell him about..." Draco asked gesturing between him and Anna.
"Now what kind of person would I be if I told your dad about us, geez Draco I expected better of you!" Anna scolded.
"I'm sorry, I am kind of paranoid…long story" Draco said as he shrugged apologetically.
"Its k, we should go fix some breakfast and tell the others..."
"Tell them about what…?"
"Your dad is in Azkaban"
"Right… let's go eat!"
"Boys all they think about is food" Anna thought, shaking her head and following Draco down the stairs. When they got to the kitchen, Alli and Jesse were cooking, Brandon was slumped over at the table and Kat was gone.
"Good Morning! Did Kat leave?" Anna asked Alli.
"Yeah, Blaise looks soo sad; maybe we should try to cheer him up."
"Nah, the only thing that would cheer him up would be Kat, and obviously she's not here. Besides he'll get over it, he always does." Jesse whispered to the both of them, "Now, stop planning and help me with breakfast".
"Fine" Alli said sighing, but then Jesse grabbed her and dragged her over to the stove kissing her neck the whole way.
"I see that ya'll worked everything out" Anna said looking sadly at Alli; she had hoped that Alli would break it off with Jesse. Anna didn't want Alli's heart to be broken again.
"Now beautiful, why the sad face? You should be happy". Draco whispered in her ear, hugging Anna from behind.
"I'm just worried for her, that's all. She doesn't need another broken heart"
"Jesse will take good care of her…I promise; now what about this lovely breakfast they have cooked for us?"
"I'm not hungry, I have to call someone, you tell them about your dad" Anna whispered as she walked out to the terrace, dialing her cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Julie?"
"Anna!"
"Yeah its me, umm I need for you to come and talk some sense into Alli, she's fallen again."
"With who?"
"Jesse McPherson"
"Right and I'm the Queen of England, who's married to Orlando Bloom."
"Seriously, listen just go to the airport and some one will be waiting to take you here, tell no one….it's an assignment and Allison just had to tag along…oh and by the way, Alli is Kellie and I am Natasha, we are fraternal twins…make up a new name for yourself…cya in a few hours bye!" Anna hangs up goes back inside and eats breakfast. After breakfast the couples split up to go do things. Jesse and Alli went horseback riding and picnicking and Anna and Draco went to the pool and played tennis. Blaise mopped around the house until the door bell rang at noon.
"William, William, answer the door…fine then I will" Blaise yelled, stomping over to the door. "Kitty-Kat……….is that you? I thought you...oof" Blaise crashed onto the floor, Kat standing over him. "Alright boys, grab him and let's go" and with that order they were gone. When the couples got back they noticed that the house was particularly quiet. Anna, Allison, and Jesse all pulled out their wands and made a semi-circle around Draco who was looking quite bewildered. "What are you…" he started to say but Anna shushed him. They went into all the rooms and couldn't find Blaise anywhere, as they started to move toward the front door, they bumped in to Julie. "Ahh! Oh Jules, it's just you. Did you check down here?"
"Yeah, no one down here" Julie replied. With that everyone put their wands away and turned to Draco who demanded "Will someone please tell me why you all freaked out and where the hell is my brother!"
Allison and Jesse sighed, "Anna you want to tell him?"
"But her name is Natasha not Anna" Draco said slowly looking at Jesse.
"Yeah I will, go get Jules settled and then call Lucius, and Agent B." Jesse went to go call people and Allison took Julie upstairs to fill her in and start searching the grounds. Anna took Draco into his father's study and locked the doors.
"O.k. Dray, first of all my name is Annalsie Marie Granger, not Natasha. Second, after the incident in the club with your brother, your dad called his old friend in the Wizard Secret Agency in the U.S. Your dad wanted a trained W.S.A. agent, to bodyguard his children but it would look weird if this old man started following you around. So your father requested an agent your age…which would be me."
"You mean, you were paid to watch me and Blaise? So that explains your episodes but what about Jesse's and Kellie's?"
"O.k., Kellie's real name is Allison; she is my best friend and also a retired spy. Jesse works for the dark side as well as your father, which is the reason why he is in jail."
"Well, I knew he was doing that stuff, I mean he is my father but where is Brandon?"
"I do not know, we believe that a weapons deal of his went bad and now Voldemort wants him but also several other deals of his went bad to so many people want him right now…I fear I may lose my job because I was out with you instead of being with Blaise."
"Aww shit Nat-Anna, I'm really sorry, we'll find Blaise and you will keep your job…I promise" Draco finished grabbing Anna and pulling her in to a hug.
"Why are you being nice to me? I expected something along the lines of 'eww a mudblood, get away' from the descriptions my cousin gave me"
"What?"
"My cousin, Hermione Granger"
"Your related too the Mudblood Know it all?"
"The one and only"
"Oh, well that doesn't matter now, I've already fallen…I mean befriended you, your relatives are not going to change that"
"Aww, you're so sweet" Anna smiled and leaned over and kissed Draco on the cheek. He blushed and Jesse barged in.
"Hey Anna, I found something…"
"What Jesse?"
"Kat, you know that girl who came and stayed here, well it looks like she is part of the extremist group that Blaise was selling guns to."
"No way, really? damn she was one of my best friends, talk about betrayal, shit!"
"Hey guys? Jules is settled, I say we forget about this thing, we have an entire palace to ourselves let's have a party!" Alli called down leaning over the stairs.
"Yeah, we can invite all of Blaise's friends and try to find out more about this group, I think Chris would know something" Draco said to Jesse.
