Sounds likea plan to me specially since so far you'llbe the only person I know." derek said

Alex smiled at Derek. "Don't worry, I'll introduce you to my friends, though maybe not Reese." She told him through her laughter. "Reese is my best friend, and she tends to like guys, though she is going out with someone already."

Mr. Randall looked up from where he sat at his desk writing a letter. Someone knocked. He had only been half expecting his son home the previous day and when he hadn't arrived it didn't surprise him. He went back to writing.

The door to the manor open and a sad looking house elf looked at the girl.
" May Jasper help you young Miss?" he asked.

" Jasper not know a Alex.. Jasper knows Young sir Talen. he is Jasper's young master." The elf seemed to hve perked up at the mention of Talen.

Having heard his youngest son's name mr.randall made his way to the door. " who is it Jasper?." he asked with slightly harsh tone.

" Miss.. is a friend of Master Talen's ."

" Oh, well what a surprise this is..." the man looked down at her as if judging her.

" A friend you say... " he arched his brow curiously. " seems to me a friend would know where he is ?

The elf's eyes wide as if he knew where talen could be found.

"master sir young sir went to visit...."

"Don't you have some chores jasper..." he spat at the elf.

"He is not here, the ungreatful brat is probably off mingliing with muggle trash like his disgrace of a brother." he gave the girl a disgusted look and slammed the door.

"psst...psst.."a soft voice whispered from behind the statue on her left. " Young miss.." jasper peeked from behind the statue. "

"Jasper knows where young master is. young sir is with master james, young master tell jasper before he go to school he not come back young sir tells Jasper not to say to master young sir trust Jasper... jasper misses both young sirs not seen master James for long time but jasper knows where he is and he's well. " Jasper looked nervously towards the house.then back to Reese. " master talen is in the cove other side of here in master james cabin. everyone know master james in town."he hinted then he jumped as if startled. " jasper must go or jasper be in trouble." the elf disappeared

Alex heard the knock and looked to see Talen and Derek's mother still talking. "I'll get it." She said as she walked back to the door a second that morning and looked out the window. When she saw the familiar face of her 'sister' she quickly opened the door. "Reese, hey, it's great to see you!" She said as she hugged her and then whispered into her ear. "Don't say anything about my father killing my mtoher, I haven't told Talen."

Talen looked from his Aunt towardsthe door when he heard someone else." 60miles Reese thats clean across the island? Why would you do that?"he asked offering her a seat on the sofa. As his aunt walked over her wand in hand to assist Reese with her sores and aches.

Alex watched as Reese sat down on the sofa. "Reese, why didn't you call for the knight bus?" She asked as she walked behind the sofa and turned to look at Derek. She smiled at him and motioned for him to come next to her. "This is Reese, the one that falls for guys all the time." She she said quietly to him but loud enough for Reese to hear.

Derek walked over to the sofa " Hi reese" he said " I'm Derek."

Derek laughed " cousin was right." he said.

there was a sudden crack and James appeared.he looked around the room " whoa." he said unableto remember the lasttimethere hadbeen that many people in his house at once. " Did you guys have fun?"

" we haven't went yet." Talen said.

Alex heard a slight pop and looked to find James had apparated into his home. Alex laughed at his expression, she couldn't help it, when he left there were only two people in his house and he comes back to find five, everyone would be shocked. "Hi, James, good day at work?"

james smiled and nodded at alex. " yeh." he lloked around the room " talk about a reunion...wait..."his eyes fell on the girl sitting on the sofa " I don't know you..."

Alex looked from James to Reese, of course he didn't know her. "Oh, this is Reese, my best friend from school she just showed up on the doorstep." She laughed slightly.

Hello," he said with a smile " I'm James. nice to meet you too." he looked athis brother
" are we expecting anymore guest?

Alex looked from James to Talen and back again, trying to hold in her laughter. She then turned to Derek and smiled. "Think he's a little shocked to see so many people here?"
