Caledonia had seen the look in Reid's eyes and her mothers and knew that something was wrong. She knew that her mother seemed to be controlled as Reid's eyes turned black she knew that he had bewitched her.
She knew that Reid had done so in the past to random people when they had something he wanted. She knew it. She knew that this time her mother would have to believe her. She saw Draco's face and she knew she had to tell her Father.
Caledonia ran out of the Great Hall to find her dad, She had an ominous feeling something really bad was going to happen. She remembered the last time she had seen Reid's eyes that color a man had died.
She placed a hand on the locket her uncle Caleb had given her and as she saw her Father she grabbed his arm. She knew that it was a port-key and she said the incantation.
Draco was surprised when Caledonia had grabbed his arm in a vice grip and then the world swirled around him as he clutched on her tighter. He looked at his daughter as they landed in what looked like a wooded area. Caledonia was shaking as she looked at her Father.
"I'll explain in a moment trust me dad,mum isn't in her right 's not her fault though."
That was all Caledonia said as she took his hand and Caledonia saw Draco's expression as they walked to a Manor.Callie didn't hesitate as she opened the gate and walked into the door,not bothering to knock.
Draco looked at the house and for some reason he felt drawn to it. As he stepped over the threshold something inside him began to feel different. He could not put his finger on it as of yet but it wasn't a bad feeling really. It was almost as if he felt like coming home.
He knew that was ridiculous as even at Malfoy Manor he had never received this feeling. He wondered if he was going mad.
"Uncle Caleb!"
She shouted as Draco looked around. He wondered where they were. He saw a man approached who was looking at Caledonia with concern in his eyes.
"Callie,what are you doing here? Does your mother know you are here?"
Caleb came down the stairs and was holding his son Alexander in his arms. He was surprised of course by the looked at Draco a moment and shook his head.
"Who is this man?"
Caleb placed his son's head on his shoulder as he took in the scene before him. He knew that from his niece's expression that something was wrong.
He called to his wife Sarah who walked in from the kitchen with a smile. She went over and hugged Caledonia and took the baby from her husband's arms.
"Come play with Xander while the men talk"
Sarah said as Caledonia shook her head and looked at her Father. She nodded as he raised an eyebrow.
"Aunt Sarah,Uncle Caleb I would like you to meet my Father,Draco Malfoy. Dad this is Mum's brother Caleb Danvers and his wife Sarah and their son Alexander."
Draco still was a bit confused as Caledonia took a breath then said in a clear voice much mature than her actual age.
"Uncle Caleb, It's Reid,he is up to no good and he has bewitched mum with his power."
Caleb went still as he looked at his niece and to the man she called her father a moment. He knew that he had felt someone use the power but he himself had bounded Reid's full power after the ascension for the man.
He knew that Reid was dangerous He was bound because of the addiction he had for the power.
Reid had killed a woman and his unborn child eleven years previously as he had lost control of those powers.
"Are you sure I bounded him Callie? I myself put the curse on him."
Caleb asked as he went and grabbed the book of shadows. It came alive as he summoned his bretheren. He tried to place what Reid was doing and he knew it was nothing was right as he felt the energy Reid was exuding and wondered what had caused the man to regain his power. What had happened?
Caledonia just looked at her Uncle a moment and smiled. She knew that Caleb would believe her as would Tyler and Pogue. She knew that her Father was out of his element however..
"This is very bad Uncle,really bad. His eyes were so dark, so cold and empty and I saw him. I felt the power coming off of him. I know that mum did not believe me because he was suppose to be bound,how could this happen?"
Draco did not understand and the confusion showed as Caledonia stepped forward to take a seat on the chair in front of what looked to Draco a fire pit. He wondered if he should sit as well. He stepped forward as he did he felt like he was warm, for a second his eyes flashed black as he sat.
This made Caleb look more interestingly at Draco as he placed the book in the middle of the fire pit on a make shift cradle. Sarah had placed the baby in his nursery and came down. She saw the way that Draco's eyes had flashed and she looked at her husband.
Caleb saw the book react and knew. Somehow there was another. Another Son of Ipswitch. He wondered however from which line was this man, Draco Malfoy descended?
"Welcome brother, It all makes sense now you see. We wait for our fellow brethren and I will explain what we are and what you what I can in such a short time. Ahh here they are now good timing gentlemen."
Draco was confused but knew he had to listen. Hermione was in danger. He knew that he didn't trust Reid Garwin,that something about him had always seemed off. Now as he had heard his own daughter and her uncle speak of the man as if he was a threat,compelled him to rip the man to pieces.
Draco was curious why they were sitting even and for some reason as Tyler and Pogue entered the Manor house and stepped forward into the circle,Draco felt a oneness.
The others looked at him. They were surprised but Caleb just raised a hand. He knew they were thinking he was Reid. Caledonia put a hand on her father's bicep a moment and Draco's eyes seemed to come back to their grey hue.
The book opened and the pages that were seemingly blank began to fill with things. He was amazed that these muggles had magic and as he looked at his daughter he wondered how come Hermione had never mentioned her magical brother.
"Brethren? I am confused,What do you mean by brethren?"
Draco then heard a chuckle as Caleb walked over and put a hand on Draco's shoulder. He looked at Caledonia a moment.
"You really have no idea who you really are do you Draco Malfoy?"
Caleb sighed as he tried to explain. He knew that time was of the essence as he felt Reid trying to use his powers again.
"Well to give you the cliffs notes, There are,were five families Son's of Ipswitch. Five families of the original founders of this town and they are Putnam,Garwin,Danvers,Parry,And Simms.
We are the Son of Ipswich and so it seems so are you, however you are not the Putnam heir as I fought him about ten years ago now, No you see how do I put this without shocking you?"
Caleb thought a moment as Caledonia's eyes grew huge. She figured it out she knew she had as she opened her mouth to speak and as she did she wondered if she was correct. She took a breath.
"My dad is a Garwin isn't he?"
Caleb nodded as he looked at Draco.
"Yes Draco is a Garwin in fact you are the eldest son of our covenant and you are Reid's cousin."
Draco was confused as to how it was possible but he saw the words on the book explaining what had happened. He saw that his Father's family had split in two in history.
That Reid indeed was his cousin and he began to see the images. He saw that his life was being written in the book,saw his life from the moment he was born up until that very projected in the form of a beam of white relived some of the worst and happiest moments of his life.
Draco took this all in as Caleb wondered something. He looked at Draco curiously.
"Tell me Draco about your Father Lucius,You see he would have been in a sense the eldest of the Son's of Ipswich himself as well and therefore upon his death you would have received his powers?"
Draco shook his head as he said. "I am a pure blooded wizard, I use a wand I can't do wand-less magics,Father could however do them not many wizards have that unique ability or so I thought."
Caleb frowned but then had a thought as he stepped closer to needed to be sure that Draco knew the extent of what was to was a live wire and he knew if Reid was feeling power hungry he hatede to think that Reid's own humanity had faded. If what his niece said was true then Reid no longer cared for his sister.
"You realize that Reid is going to hurt Hermione, possibly kill you care? I can tell you that at the moment she is see her powers they come from within as do our own.
She had them bound when we were separated for her own safety. It won't take him much to kill my twin sister and I for one am not going to let that are you in?"
Draco glared hard at Caleb and as he did something broke inside of him. He felt it in his heart and through his body a electricity building with his anger. Caleb nodded as the other two,Tyler and Pogue looked on. They knew it too as Draco's dormant powers began to awaken inside he did not know how to channel that power.
Caleb walked to a door and pulled out a quarter staff. The head of the walking staff had a Dragon in silver. Draco looked at it a moment as it left Caleb's hands and flew to stand in front of Draco.
He was awed as he placed a hand out and the Dragon's head came alive and bit flinched but didn't cry out as the Dragon went back to inanimate state and Draco nodded. He knew that this staff was like his Fathers. He wondered now why it came to him.
"I love her,of course I'm in to his death or mine."
Was Draco's response as he felt power surge through him then he became calm as the cane seemed to relax.
Caleb watched the eyes change to a was more than satified with his answer and knew that only the staff would go to it's rightful owner.
"You are the rightful heir to this staff,Reid never could get it to call to him. Tell me Draco how does it feel in your hand now?"
Draco felt calm as he walked a moment with it. He knew that his Father's staff had always seemed to keep Lucius grounded and he looked at Caledonia. He knew that he needed to talk to his Father and knew that his portrait was at Malfoy Manor. He wondered why his Father had never divulged this information on their legacy to him.
Caleb and Pogue and Tyler all rose as they stepped turned to Sarah who was shaking her head.
"Sarah it seems that we are going to England, Please take care of Alexander and I will return soon."
Sarah just nodded knowing fighting with her husband on the matter would do no good. She knew that what was going to happen was going to happen and no amount of her protest would do anything but delay their departure and return.
"Goddess speed you then love,return to me alive.I love you Caleb."
Caleb kissed his wife and held her a moment. He knew that he could not promise that, it was true Reid was his friend and up to the point where he had killed Michaela and their unborn child,had been loyal to him and the others. However, he knew that now for some reason he was power crazed again.
Caleb wondered if it had something to do with Draco. He knew that Draco's appearance here and now that he had the staff of power,The Garwin staff it meant that he was the head son of his family.
He knew that his twin was in danger and there was no time to waste. He smiled as he knew his wife was lucky to have her and married her out of Spencer. He was happy that Boston public had not challenged her and he had meet her all those years ago when she came to go to Spencer Prep.
"I Love you Sarah."
The other men looked away out of respect as Caledonia smiled and she said.
"Yes you look at each other like my mum and dad do,That's love"
Draco nodded as he knew what his smart daughter meant. He saw in Sarah's eyes the look that Hermione gave him. He knew now that she really still loved him. He knew and as he walked to the doorway, The others followed him.
"So how are we going to get back to Hogwarts? and if I might ask where in the world are we?"
Draco was still not sure as he knew the men had a American accent at grinned.
"Welcome to Ipswitch,Massachusetts and actually this place is my family's ancestral home. Hermione was born here. She was sent to Hogwarts however since she had magical abilities.
As the Son and Heir of our Fathers power I remained here. She of course to keep our secret had been adopted out to the actually are our God Parents and are of course non magical people. It was something about six years ago when she arrived here and we found out that she was my twin sister.
Till that point of course I had no knowledge of my sister existance even. That changed as our mother who had passed on as well as the Granger's,had modified our memories."
Caleb then went on to explain that his mother was actually Pogues's aunt and he and Pogue were cousins as well as best friends. He smiled and it reached his eyes as he looked at his niece and to Draco a moment.
"We'll floo of course Hermione made sure to have our fireplace installed in that network or whatever you British wizards call them. We aren't exactly wizards but do know that our Hermione is special. You see usually all the son's get the magical abilities and there aren't daughters born.
However in my and Hermione's case,Well she's special like is our Callie and I know that your son will at age thirteen come into some of our power through you and her. At that time he will have to be monitored and explained what that power is. It's a curse as well as a blessing."
He knew he would sit down with Draco and explain further but time was of the essence as he felt another tremor in the powers. This time Draco felt it also and he saw the looks on the other man's faces.
"Say very clearly The Potion Masters quarters Hogwarts" Draco said as he threw the powder in the fireplace and the flames glowed green. He saw the men look at it hesitantly all that was but Caleb who chuckled. "After you of course,ladies first pumpkin"
He said to Caledonia as she smirked and she went into the flames and said the words clearly and concise. Draco smirked and Caleb shook his head. He now knew where for sure his niece had gotten her favorite expression. Draco went next followed by Caleb,Pogue and Tyler.
The men all arrived in what they saw was a English castle and Draco smirked as he waved a hand around the room. He saw them all look surprised as it was magnificent in their eyes.
"Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Now that that pleasantry is given, Lets go make sure my cousin is taken cared of shall we? Caledonia go and find Scorpius and go to the Headmistress's office and wait for me there."
Caledonia nodded and turned to leave when she stopped and looked at her Father.
"Kick his bloody arse Daddy!"
Draco sighed and nodded as he knew that was exactly what he planned on doing. He saw the men look at Callie as if she was speaking a foreign language. Caleb chuckled as Draco muttered.
"Damn right I'm gonna kick his ass back to hell. Cousin or not,he picked the wrong woman to mess with,my woman."
Draco closed his eyes and concentrated on the power that he was feeling and he snapped his eyes open. He knew where Reid had taken her. He knew how that they had to rush. He had seen the familiar place and wondered how Reid had known of the place.
She knew that Reid had done so in the past to random people when they had something he wanted. She knew it. She knew that this time her mother would have to believe her. She saw Draco's face and she knew she had to tell her Father.
Caledonia ran out of the Great Hall to find her dad, She had an ominous feeling something really bad was going to happen. She remembered the last time she had seen Reid's eyes that color a man had died.
