Chapter 6
Draco sat through the whole morning sermon with Ying. Ying hung on every word of it. Draco on the other hand kept his hood up, so he could sleep through it. Ying nudged him in the ribs. "It's over sleepy head." His soft voice snickered. Draco slipped out of his seat and followed after his new roomy.
As the two made their way out of the sanctuary, an old woman ran passed them, dragging a younger girl behind her. Draco could have sworn he knew the girl from somewhere, but shrugged it off as for he had that feeling two other times before.
"So what is there to do for fun around here?" Draco asked his new roommate. Hoping to the gods there was something other than reading. It was bad enough he had to hide in this muggle church, but to have to read for fun!
"We run, hang in the garden, read, write or even just tell story of our lives. Today we are supposed to be meeting a girl from a real home. Not a street rat, like us. She's supposed to help us feel accepted in today's world." Ying explained as the two walked down the hall.
"Gee, what kind of crap is that? Why would talking to someone with a home make us feel better? It's not like they even know what street life is like. Wouldn't talking to someone with a home, just make us feel worse?" Draco asked.
"Don't know really, most of us just like hanging out or even making out. No one really cares about this girl. She's just some old lady's granddaughter with nothing to do all summer. So they're making her our new friend. I am guessing if she's hot, no one will see her all summer. She'll be in someone's room doing the nasty."
Draco nodded in agreement, hot girls always ended up being whores it seemed. Sure there were some hot girls who didn't. Like Hermione Granger for example. That girl wouldn't dream of letting anyone but her two boyfriends touch her. She was too self conscious; she didn't act like she knew she even had a body either. Draco pushed that thought away. 'Where'd that come from?'
"So, where are you two little boy's off to?" A cool voice filled the air. It was coming from below them. Draco turned to see the one thing he never thought he'd see in a muggles church. It was a vampire, with out a doubt. He had curly black hair and wore all black; he looked just like the ones in the muggle movies. Draco backed up a few steps.
"Red; back off! You know we have to meet that girl today. So why don't you go back to the hell you came from." Ying snapped at the vampire. This only seemed to make the vampire look bored. He shrugged it off and turned his attention to Draco.
"Who's the new guy?" He asked plainly as if he didn't hear the requested for him to bugger off. Ying seemed to growl a little at being ignored. However he did step back as Red got up from the ground.
"I am D; I'm just hanging out till something better comes along." Draco answered hopping to keep the peace. There was no way he needed one more hunter of the night on his bad side. His father was more then enough in any means.
"So, your the one I am support to keep my eye's on. You've got the whole church in an uproar. Never would have though a mere wizard would send old pointy ear in an uproar, but then again." Red snarled as he moved a little closer to the boys.
"What are you talking about? I am not a wizard." Draco snapped, hoping his muggle roomy didn't catch on.
"You are as much a wizard as I am a vampire. And don't feel like you need to hide it from him." Red said simply pointing to Ying. "He's a werewolf. This whole damn church is filled with the world's magical garbage. We all have our little secrets, even me." With that said, Red left Draco with Ying.
"Is it true?" Draco asked, hoping that Red had been lying to him the whole time, but by the look on Ying's face it was true. This whole church was a hide away for the hidden world's trash. Draco was just another runaway.
It was funny somehow. He had been a runaway for a little more than a week, but he hadn't felt like it until just then. He hadn't felt the hatred of his world or the way the muggles looked at him with disgust. In some sad way Draco wished this was all just a dream.
"Come on D, we don't have to take that from him. He's been nothing for hundreds of years. That's why he acts like that, but we got hope. Something Red will never have." Ying gave a sad smile and patted Draco on the back. It made Draco wonder what Ying was doing out here. Was he a runaway? Because he was a werewolf or was there more to it?
"We've got to go meet that Granger girl." Draco eye's popped out of his head. His breath caught in his throw. GRANGER, equaled danger. She would write her friends and telling them what a pathetic sight Draco had become. If it was… "Hermione Granger?"
"Yeah I think that's what Elwood said her name was; you know her?" Ying inquired.
"Yea, I can't let her see me either. She'd blow my cover for sure." Draco coughed out. His body began to tremble a little and his hands were sweating. At this time he realized something else. Red had said he was supposed to be keeping an eye on him. Draco felt his head swim and his knees give way. What was going on, he thought as he fell to the ground.
'Two minutes ago I was just another runaway, with only my father out looking for me. Now I have a vampire watching my back, a werewolf by my side, an elf keeping me hidden and a meeting with Hermione Granger. In two minutes my world went from being under control, to being in a total mess.'
"D, pull yourself together, I can keep you hidden from her and you can meet her face to face." Ying said as he pulled Draco off the ground. "All you need is this." He said as he handed Draco a necklace of a cross. There was a stone in it that Draco had never seen before. Ying placed it around Draco neck and showed him, his reflection in the window.
He didn't look like Draco Malfoy, he looked like YING! But his hair was different it was white with a black spot. "This is the reflection of my twin brother Yang, You keep this on and she will never know the different." Draco looked at himself once more. It was a perfect disguise.
"Ok, I'll do it, but can I still be D? I think being called Yang would be strange to us both." Ying nodded and the two made their way to meet Miss Hermione Granger. As twin brothers and not newly found friends.
