Beyond all expectations
Draco was lying on his bed thinking about the soon coming first day of the new school year.
'These holidays passed too fast. Although I haven't been doing anything lately…if I think about it they have been pretty boring. In the end…I don't have friends. Crabbe and Goyle…they are such idiots. I wouldn't call them friends. They're rather some guys following me around. I've never been able to really talk to them. Potter…yes he has got friends. This Granger nerd and Ron the read headed idiot. Well at least he has friends. Maybe I should try to find friends…should I try to become friends with them? How weird would that be? He hates me. They hate me. I even can understand why. I've always been an asshole to them…' he got up being full of dynamism 'Yes! I will change. I'll show them that I can be a better guy and a friend. Oh my how I wished to have friends…'
First day of school came and Draco was pretty excited though he was a little bit frightened of how Harry would react. He planned to sit with them in their compartment and try to talk to them. He was fully aware though that they might don't want him to sit with them, he was willed to take the risk.
At the train station he would say good buy to his parents in order to get into the train. He avoided bumping into one of his so called friends. He knew that they would keep him from sitting with other people.
He wandered through the train looking for Harry, Ron and Hermione. As he finally spot them in one of the compartments he suddenly stopped, having an awkward feeling in his stomach…
'What am I doing? What am I trying to proof here? That I actually can find friends? I can't really be thinking that it's going to work. Why them? They hate me…' he was leaning against the compartment wall as suddenly the door next to him opened.
"Yes I'll go look for Ginny…I wonder where she's sitting…oh Draco?" Hermione stepped out of the compartment, almost running into Draco.
Draco was taken by surprise and didn't know what to say at first. He stuttered: "Erm, ja well sorry…I was wondering…erm…if I could sit with you."
Hermione, obviously wondering about Draco's words gave him a funny look: "Seriously? You…want to sit with…us?"
Draco – nodding his head reassuringly: "Yes I would like too."
Hermione: "What about your friends…don't you want to sit with them?"
Draco: "They aren't really my friends…long story."
Hermione: "Hmm alright. Just go inside I'll be right there." Then she left, looking for Ginny.
Draco was startled… 'Did she just say I can sit with them?' a warm feeling overcame him while he was thinking about it. Then he stepped into the compartment and the feeling rushed away as soon as it came. Two faces where staring at him.
"What do you want?" Ron spit out as if he didn't want Draco to be there – which indeed was true.
The feeling of being in the wrong place fully replaced the warm feeling from before. "I…I…well Hermione said I could sit with you." He said while his hands were actually shaking. He wasn't used to be so confused in their presence. Normally he would be able to totally control the situation.
Harry – giving him a weird look: "Seriously? Interesting…I wonder why she would say something like that."
Draco – pushing himself to say: "Alright now…I am really sorry what has happened in the past. I really would like to take those things back but I can't. What I actually can do is apologize. And I do apologize…I'm sorry for what I've done, I'm sorry for what I've said. Could you please forgive me and give me another chance?"
Harry and Ron just stared at him. That was the last thing they would ever expect Draco to tell them. They were mere speechless.
In that moment Hermione came back having Ginny in tow. She said: "Oh yeah…I forgot to tell you. I've invited Draco to sit with us. Is that a problem?"
Ron and Harry almost responded at the same time: "No it's not…"
The wonderful feeling came back. Draco felt terribly relieved… "Thank you guys." He said and sat down next to the window, facing Ron and Harry.
Ginny sat down next to Harry and Hermione next to Draco.
"So what have you done during holidays?" Hermione asked Draco.
Draco: "Well…not much. Since my father is working so much we can't go on vacation and since I don't really have any friends I couldn't meet up with anybody. Pretty sad huh?" he smiled…though he felt sad while actually saying out loud what bugs him so much.
Hermione noticed that she hit him and tried to feel him up… "I haven't done anything special either. My parents have to work a lot too and they can't even afford going on vacations…so you're not the only one whose holidays have been boring."
Draco indeed felt a little bit better.
During the trip he noticed that Ginny was obviously flirting with Harry. He recognized that she touched him a lot while talking to him.
'Hmm are they a couple?' he thought but then he didn't pay attention anymore.
"Why does it always on me…" Hermione suddenly started to sing after a period of nobody saying anything.
The others started to laugh but Ginny "Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?"
Draco – smiling: "You've got a good voice. Both of you have."
Hermione - laughing: "Bullshit. Haha I suck in singing. But anyways I just love the song."
Ginny: "Ya me too! Travis is awesome I really do like their songs."
Ron: "Dunno I don't like them that much. I'm more into the rock thing you know."
Hermione – giving him a funny look: "The rock thing…right…"
As they train reached Hogs Mead, they made their way to the carriages that would take them to the school. Draco was walking with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Luna who met them outside of the train. As they passed Grabbe and Goyle - Draco was just talking with Ron – they shouted: "Hey Malfoy! Where the hell have you been??"
Draco: "Oh yeah…sorry…I've been sitting with them."
Grabbe – looking at him with disgrace: "Are you serious? What made you sit with this mud-blood?"
Harry and Ron got angry and were about to confront them…Draco was faster than them.
Draco: "Oh you shut the fuck up and never even dare to say that again!"
Grabbe and Goyle stared at him with astonishment but didn't dare to respond anything.
Draco raised his fist but then walked away with the others.
Draco – addressing Hermione: "I'm so sorry about that. They don't even know how stupid they are…"
Hermione: "It's alright, after some time you learn how to live with idiots like that."
After the annual welcome dinner Draco went up the stairs to the Slytherin dorms. After saying the password and stepping in to the common room all the eyes were upon him.
Grabbe: "There he comes, the new Gryffindor bitch!"
As Draco heard him saying that, he lost his temper. He grabbed his wand out of his pocket and threatened Grabbe by placing the wand right underneath his chin. "What did you say, you filthy son of a whore?"
Grabbe just stared at him with a scared expression on his face.
There was mere silence in the common room. No one dared to say anything and some started to leave heading the bedrooms.
"Don't dare it…" Draco whispered and left also.
In his room Draco sat down on a couch right next to the window. As he stared out of the window he thought…
'Those stupid idiots…I wonder what Harry's doing right now. They're probably having fun…though I think I made a huge step today. That's the first time ever I really talked to them. Today was a good one.'
He continued looking out of the window for a while and then changed into his pyjamas in order to go to bed.
'A good one…'
