Chapter 3: Meeting The Sons And Drake Garwin

Draco wandered down the staircase following Reid's directions to the living room. He was wearing a pair of Reid's faded jeans and one of his t-shirts with a large hooded sweatshirt over it and had a pair of Reid's sneakers on his feet. Reaching the bottom of the stairs he looked around for a moment before turning to the right and heading through the open double doors near the base of the stairs. As he entered the room the four boys already in the room stopped talking and looked up at him.

Reid grinned up at him from his position sprawled out on one of the couches in the room. There was also a boy with long brown hair and brown eyes slouched down in one of the armchairs, a tall dark haired, brown-eyed boy who looked to be the oldest was sitting in the other armchair and another boy with dark hair, this time with blue eyes, was stretched out on the other couch.

Draco absently ran a hand through his wet hair as he suddenly became the center of attention. "Um, hi," He said a bit uncertainly.

Reid laughed at his cousin's discomfort. "Well, don't just stand in the door all day," He teased, "Come in and sit down."

Draco slowly made his way further into the room and looked around for somewhere to sit. He paused as he heard Reid speak up again, the other boy making introductions.

The dark haired boy on the other couch rolled his eyes when it became apparent that Reid wasn't going to move to give the other blonde space to sit. He shifted around so that he was only taking up half the couch and looked up and smiled at the newcomer, motioning to the now-empty half of the couch.

Draco smiled at the blue-eyed boy in thanks as he sat down. He looked around at the three unknown boys for a second before turning to Reid and raising an eyebrow at him.

Reid caught Draco's look and just looked at him innocently, "What?"

Draco rolled his eyes, as did the other three boys in the room.

"He's probably wondering if you're planning on introducing us," The dark haired boy in the armchair said with amusement.

Reid smirked at them and chuckled softly, "Fine, fine," He muttered. "Draco these are my friends, Caleb Danvers," He motioned to the dark-haired boy who had spoken, "Pogue Parry," The boy with long hair in the other arm chair, "And you're sitting with Baby Boy. Guys, this is my cousin, Draco Malfoy. He's gonna be living here for a while."

The blue-eyed teen that Reid had introduced as Baby Boy glared at the older blonde for a moment before turning to Draco, "Tyler Simms," He said introducing himself.

Draco smiled at him, amusement dancing in his eyes, "I have to ask; 'Baby Boy'?"

Tyler sighed, "It's a nickname I've had forever, because I'm the youngest. Actually, I guess that's not true anymore, you're what? Two years younger than us?" He looked a Draco curiously.

"If you're all about the same age, yeah. I just turned sixteen today," Draco replied with a nod.

Reid grinned at Tyler. "Don't worry, Ty, even with Draco here, you're still our Baby Boy."

"Yippee," Tyler replied dryly, though there was a small smile on his face.

Draco just laughed at the two of them, shaking his head in amusement. He looked up a moment later and noticed Caleb staring at him intently and his laughter slowly died off.

"So, how come you're going to be living here for a while? Does it have anything to do with the way you looked when we found you earlier?" Caleb asked as he sat forward in his chair a bit.

Draco stared back for a moment, trying to decide what to say before looking at Reid, a question in his eyes.

Reid nodded at his cousin, knowing what he was asking. "You can tell them," He said, "They're like me and they won't say anything, you can trust them."

Draco nodded and turned back to Caleb. "I'm a Wizard," He started, "Not like Reid, and apparently you guys as well, I use a wand to do magic. My magic isn't addictive like yours and it doesn't hurt me to use it. There's a whole hidden community made up of Witches and Wizards like me. And in my world, there's a really bad Dark Wizard that wants to take over. He wants to kill all of the Muggles or non-magical people, and Muggle-borns, everyone who's not a pure-blood. My father is one of this guy's most loyal followers, though he managed to land himself in prison last month. Anyway, my mother decided that for my birthday, she'd take me to get my very own Dark Mark. The Dark Mark is a really ugly magical tattoo that all of Voldemort, the Dark Wizard's followers have; a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth, really ugly. Well, I told him no and that he could kiss my ass. He wasn't too happy about that. He tortured me and then tried to kill me and would have succeeded if I hadn't had an emergency port key on me. That's how I got here, the port key. If I go back, I'm dead. And I kind of like living, so I'm staying here." He glanced around at the others, trying to judge their reactions. Reid looked slightly bored since he already knew why Draco was there, Tyler was staring at him wide-eyed and both Caleb and Pogue were looking at him like they were trying to decide if he was dangerous.

"Will you being here put us in danger?" Pogue asked. "Won't they be looking for you?"

Draco shrugged slightly. "Yeah, they'll be looking for me," He replied, "But there's no way they'd think to look here. Nobody except my parents knows about Aunt Lilah and I doubt Mother even remembers about her. She's my father's younger sister, but she's what's called a Squib; someone born to a pure-blood family but doesn't have any magic. And since my father is all about Pure-blood Pride, he doesn't acknowledge her existence. The only reason I've ever met her or Reid is because they came to England when Reid's dad died years ago. So, it should be safe for me to hide here." He looked back and forth between Pogue and Caleb, knowing that they were the protectors of the group and that it was their okay that he'd need to stay.

Both of the older boys stared at him for a few more minutes before glancing at each other. Pogue nodded slightly and Caleb nodded back before turning back to Draco. "Alright," He said with a nodded and Draco sighed and nodded back in thanks.

"But you'll need to change your name," Pogue said, "Draco Malfoy is too unique and it would be too easy for them to find you."

Draco nodded in agreement. "Any suggestions, then?" He asked, "Though can wee keep my first name close to the way it is? Anything too different and I won't answer."

"How about Drake Garwin?" Tyler suggested. "It's close enough that you'll still answer and you won't have to lie about being related to Reid, just say its on his father's side or something."

Draco looked thoughtful for a moment. "Drake Garwin," he repeated then nodded, "I like it." He smiled at Tyler and looked at the other three, "What do you guys think?"

"It works," Caleb replied. "Plus, there's no way we could tell anyone you two weren't related, you look too much alike."

Pogue nodded. "You could probably even tell people that you're Reid's younger brother just to throw them off even more and get away with it," He added.

Reid looked over Draco with a scrutinizing eye and nodded. "He has a point," He said, "So it's settled then; we introduce you as Drake Garwin, my younger brother."

Draco snorted softly, "And how do you plan on explaining where I've been for the last sixteen years, Genius? Or how come no one's ever heard of me?"

Reid pouted, "Damn! You have a point there…"

Draco just snickered at the look on his cousin's face and shook his head.

"Okay, so you're Drake Garwin, Reid's younger cousin on his dad's side. And you're living here now because your parents recently died. That work?" Caleb asked glancing at the others to see if they saw any flaws with that story.

Draco nodded, "It's a good reason for me to have moved with out my parents and at the same time no one can expect me to talk about it so it will stay simple."

Reid grinned as he looked around at the other four boys. "Now that that's settled, what do you all say to a night at Nicky's? Drake here has a birthday to celebrate."

"Nicky's?" The newly-christened Drake asked, looking at his cousin curiously.

"You'll love it," Tyler said and smiled as Drake turned back to him, "It's a bar in town, the most popular place for everyone to hang out. There's good food, music, room to dance if you want, and a pool table. Do you play pool?"

Drake shook his head, not really sure what pool was.

Reid stared speechlessly at his cousin, his eyes wide.

Caleb grinned, "Don't worry, Reid will have you hustling games in no time." He laughed as Reid nodded his head emphatically.

Pogue joined in the laughter before standing up and stretching. "So, Nicky's then?" He asked.

The other four nodded and stood as well and the five of them headed toward the front door of the Garwin home.
