Draco's POV.
As I boarded the Hogwarts Express for the first time, I quickly noticed the only available car was one with an obvious mudblood in it. Me, being a Malfoy, could never sit with a mudblood and not be picked on about it. Sitting with a Weasley might even be a better option…
NO, definitely not.
I could just ignore a mudblood. At least she isn't a traitor to her kind.
Although… she did look way more familiar then she should… maybe that is just me imagining things.
I pulled out my potions book to read on the trip to Hogwarts, but I was barely even able to read for 5 minutes before the dark haired mudblood interrupted my reading.
"My name is Lizzy Granger. I hope to end up in Slytherin, my personality fits it the best. What about you?" She asked without even an ounce of hesitation in her annoying voice.
"I don't talk to mudbloods like yourself," I snapped at her before returning to my reading. I got some more peace and quiet before it came to an abrupt end once again.
"I can tell that you are Slytherin. Just from your attitude," she stated. "And that is such an easy read. I've read it 5 times already."
"Why would you, a MUDBLOOD, think that you can get into Slytherin? If you've read so much, then you would know that mudbloods don't get sorted into Slytherin," I said, stating the obvious.
"You've called me mudblood a few times now, but what is it?" she asked, the question apparent in those still familiar eyes.
"A mudblood is someone like yourself,born to muggle-"
"What's a muggle?" she interrupted.
"As I was saying, muggle or non magical parents," I said, glaring at her. "Your kind is more commonly called muggleborn, but that's too nice of a term. We purebloods don't believe that you should have magic, you dirtied the magical bloodline, hence the reason you are called mudbloods."
"I don't have muggle parents… at least, I don't think that I do. I was left on the Granger's doorstep with a note saying that my mom is a pureblood and my dad is a very powerful halfblood. We have no clue who they are, just that they left me," she said, looking out the window, obviously avoiding my glance now. "I wish I knew who they were so that I could give them a piece of my mind, although I am glad that the Granger's raised me. I wouldn't want to be raised by people who had such a small heart that they couldn't even raise their own child."
"So there was no indication as to who they are?" I asked, genuinely wondering who would leave a halfblood with muggles.
"There was nothing else on the note that was still eligible. There was something else, but it had gotten ruined by the rain that we had gotten. There was also a necklace, and when I got my first letter, it was the only one made out to a different last name, so we figured it was a mistake. It said Lizzy Snape," she said, pulling out the necklace that was obviously a family heirloom from an old pureblood family.
End Draco's POV
Lizzy's POV
As soon as I said Snape, Draco's jaw hit the ground. He obviously recognized the name, but didn't know what to think about it.
"Snape… It's gotta be a more common name then I thought… It can't be… No… Definitely not…" Mumbled Draco. "He had no other children… his wife died a while ago, and their child didn't make it through birth… it can't be… it must have been a mistake…"
The rest of the train ride went in silence. Draco not knowing what else to say to me, and me not in the mood anymore. We arrived at Hogwarts a short while later, the castle absolutely stunning in the background, the towers rising up and touching the moon, i had never seen something that looked so magical.
"First years over here" came the booming voice of a giant man standing by what looked like a lake.
"Well, Lizzy, I'll see you later, I guess. By the way, my name is Draco Malfoy," said the blond haired boy. We crossed the lake on small boats, me and Hermione riding together.
"Good Luck, my sister." she whispered to me as we were led into the castle by an older lady who introduced herself as Professor McGonagall.
"Hermione, remember when my name showed up as 'Lizzy Snape' on my letter? I was telling the blond boy over there and he just about freaked out. I wonder what it was all about." I whispered quietly back to her.
"Nothing else showed up in that name, everything else was in Granger. It must have been a screw-" she halted mid sentence as we walked into the Great Hall. She was staring up at the Head Table. "L-L-Lizzy. Look at that man, to the right of the Headmaster. You look almost identical to him, the long dark straight hair and the eyes!" she whispered frantically.
"Hey Lizzy" came a shout from behind me that I was able to quickly identify as Draco's. "That man up there to the right of the Headmaster is Professor Snape."
We were then cut off from speaking to each other because the Headmaster had stood up and started his opening speech. I paid no attention because i was staring at the one called Professor Snape.
After the speech, the sorting began. It was alphabetical. Hermione was the first one that I knew to be called up, and she was almost instantly sorted into Gryffindor. She quickly got up and went to sit at her respective table. I should be next was all I could think, I have to be next, and I have to be sorted into Slytherin.
"Daphne Greengrass" was the next name called, skipping over me entirely. Me, Draco, and Hermione all shared a look, not knowing what had happened. As the list went on, Draco was sorted into Slytherin, a kid that everyone cheered for by the name of Harry Potter was sorted into Gryffindor.
Professor McGonagall suddenly ran up to the front table, obviously something had happened.
