'Then it's settled,' McGonagall answered to my silence, 'We will find you a place to stay in the muggle world.'

'Is that really the only way?' I asked with disgust.

'Oh, put a sock in it, Malfoy.' Weasly said.

We all stayed silent as McGonagall paced the space in front of the desk. She mumbled to herself as to which muggles I could stay with. '… No, they refuse contact now… they… no… the Ad… no…'

'Excuse me, Professor?' Granger piped up after a few minutes. 'I am terribly sorry that I broke the promise, but, my cousin knows I'm a witch and--'

'Ms. Granger, now is not the time for apologies.' McGonagall stopped pacing and turned to face Granger. 'Were does she live and would she be willing?'

'She lives in Australia with her parents- her parents know- and I'm sure it will take quit a bit of persuasion to get them to keep Draco.'

'I guess they know all about Malfoy then, eh?' Potter snickered to Weasly,

'Yeah, if it'll take quit a bit of persuasion…'

'Shut it, Potter! Weasley!' I baled my fists and prepared to continue to threaten the two dung-beetles.

'Mr. Malfoy!' McGonagall said, 'That is no way, I assure you, to treat those who are aiding in saving your life.'

I mumbled my apologies as Granger and McGonagall made the arrangements. Potter, Weasly and the mud-blood were to bring me to Australia the following morning. Granger would ask her aunt to let me stay, and if all goes well, I will stay there for the time being. If not, then I will have to find somewhere else to stay.

'Aw, mate, don't tell me you mean that that dill bludger [Authors Note: Dill bludger = stupid lazy bum] is the one who calls you stupid names and picks a blue with Harry every other day?' an Australian girl was saying from inside.

I was sitting outside and the others went inside to convince Grangers family to let me stay. The girl talking was the mud-bloods cousins, Raae and Raace. They were our age and she was very, very loud. I hadn't met her yet, but Potter and Weasly have. They were joking about how boyish she was and they bet against each other if she grew since two years ago. Weasly bet that she's still flat as a board; Potter bet that she grew in. They bored me with details of how she looked. They described her as a boy really; short, dark hair, trousers and t-shirt all the time.

I was standing quite a ways outside the house, but I could hear the twins very clearly from inside. It seemed like their parents weren't home, and they were dead sure that they wouldn't let me stay, but they would ask them anyway. She didn't want me staying either. Looked like my chances of living were slowly dwindling…

~ Raaes P.O.V. & a few minutes ago… ~

I heard a strange popping sound coming from outside the house. I opened the curtain and I saw 'Mione, Harry, Ron and some other bloke standing outside. 'Mione turned to the bloke, said something, then she, Harry and Ron came up the porch. They knocked on the door and I hurried and opened it.

''Mione!' I launched my self into her arms. We exchanged our happy hellos then I turned to the others.

'G'day, Harry! Ron!' I gave them each a hug in turn. 'How yah been?' I said happily. Harry and Ron gawked at me. I pre-tended to be confused as to what they were doing and cocked my head to the side. Last time they saw me, I was pretty much identical to my twin, Raace, which wasn't very good, being I'm a sheila and him a bloke. I girl-ied up a bit in the past two years. Well, not really. I had boobs now. That was pretty much it. I still go way out to the Outback. Ride my dirt bike… fix'em too. I really only have one girlfriend… all the rest are blokes.

'Raace!' I called behind me, 'Get off your arse! 'Miones here! With Harry and Ron, too!'

Raace came from upstairs pretty quickly. He had a lazy smile on his face when he gave a hug to 'Mione. He 'man hugged' Ron and Harry in turn.

'So what brings you three down here?' He asked them, leaning on the wall. 'Not skipping school, are yah, 'Mione?' he teased.

''Course she's not skipping school yah, dill. 'Mione's a dux [Authors Note: Dux = smart ass] through and through.' I smiled widely at her.

She smiled at us but then wiped it off her face real quick. Raace and I looked at each other and we knew something was up. He straightened up, and we brought everyone to the living room at the front of the house. We sat in the living room and got comfortable.

'Dob us in [Authors Note: Means to inform].' we said together.

They explained everything about Voldemort coming back, the attack on Hogwarts and their headmaster being killed and how that other bloke who popped up with them almost killed him, and that that was why he was outside.

'He needs somewhere to stay; he can't stay with any other wizards. We have to hide him.'

'Hermione told McGonagall that you guys knew about us so she sent us here right away.' Ron piped in.

Raace and I went to the window and looked at him.

'He stands out like dog's balls…' he said

'…Everyone will know he's not from around here…'

'… He looks like a figjam…'

'… Just in the way he holds himself--'

'Yeah, he thinks his family is the best there is.' Harry said.

'Aw, mate,' I turned and looked a 'Mione, 'don't tell me that that dill bludger is the one who calls you names and picks a blue with Harry every other day?'

'The very one.' Ron said

Raace and I turned back to the window.

'The oldies won't like this…' I said

'… Their a bunch of knockers …'

'… They'll knock back right away…' [Authors Note: Knockers: those who criticize, Knock back: refuse]

'… Gotta give him a fairgo at least.'

'Alright,' I turned to 'Mione, 'We'll talk to the oldies.'

'We'll try to get them to let the pommy bastard stay here.' Raace went on, 'Let the dero in. He should be thankful for such a fine place as this to stay in.'

'Mione laughed at that.

'Malfoy will consider himself far from homeless [Authors Note: Raace calls Draco a dero. Dero=homeless person]. He'll keep his pain in the arse attitude, keep saying how he belonging to the best family in the world. He'll complain about every single little detail about this place. To him, living here is worse than living in a dump, and then being seen living in that dump. He's probably even having a hard time staying, outside, just in case someone sees him and thinks that he lives here. This is a muggle house. If he comes in here, his life will be ruined. He's a coward, though. He values living more than anything or anyone and that, I can promise you, will never change.'

Any advice is very much welcomed!!
