Draco Black and Harry Snape had been friends forever, since birth. They were born just mere days apart with Draco being the older of the two. Lily had been in a relationship with Severus Snape since 3rd year at Hogwarts and they got married on their last day of school. Narcissa was married to Lucius but he had sadly passed away just before Draco was born. He was hit with a curse from behind and died from already being fairly weak due to him being ill. Narcissa had chosen for Draco to have her surname instead of Malfoy because Lucius was known for having done bad things in his passed and she didn't want that weight on Draco's shoulders.
Harry and Draco got along like brothers. Draco being the bigger of the two was fairly protective of Harry. Harry had his mother's thin frame, one green eye and nose much to his father's pleasure. He also had his father's hair however; it was cut short and one onyx eye. Harry was fairly short for his age but hopefully would grow up to be tall like his father. Draco was a spitting image of his deceased father; however he also like Harry had his mother's body frame. Both boys enjoyed the same two things; Quidditch and Potions. Although most of all they loved to prank each other and their mother's never Severus because they knew he was far too serious for his own good.
Both the boys were very good on a broom; they often played two against one with Severus at each other's houses. Harry was slightly better at Potions than Draco not that Draco was bad; Lily always thought this was because of Harry's blood with herself and Severus being very good at Potions. Draco was better at pranking people than Harry was, he was always the one to think of the ideas and Harry was the one to decide how and when to execute them.
The boys had both recently received their letter for Hogwarts. Even though both Narcissa and Lucius were in Slytherin, Narcissa had told Draco that she didn't mind what house he got into. The same also went for Harry with his parents, Lily being a Gryffindor and Severus a Slytherin. Both of the mother's knew that their little boys would be safe with Severus being there as Potions Master, yet they couldn't help but worry knowing they would always find trouble.
Severus had been Potions Master since he had left school with Lily occasionally staying during the school year when Harry was very young.
Later that night when Harry was asleep, Lily and Severus were having a conversation on the couch about Harry and him attending Hogwarts.
"Sev, I can't help but worry about my little boy going off to Hogwarts what if he gets into trouble, or gets picked on."
"Honey, Harry is tough he will never be bullied, plus I'm going to be there I can look out for him and if he gets in any trouble I will be punishing him accordingly. That goes for Draco too."
Lily just smiled, Severus kiss her forehead and told her he was going to bed.
September first rolled around too fast for everyone liking except for Harry and Draco. They were so excited about finally being able to go to Hogwarts, the place where both of their parents meet and where they were taught. The Snapes and Blacks had planned on meeting at the platform 15 minutes before the train left so they boys could get organised, knowing them they would be slow.
Harry had chosen a white Snowy Owl as his new pet and named her Hedwig and Draco had chosen a Barn Owl which surprised Severus who thought he would go for a more fierce bird like a Hawk. Draco had named his Owl, Athena; whom was the Greek goddess of Wisdom. This puzzled a few people because Draco was rarely wise, however, he simply explained that he liked the name.
The Snapes had arrived at the platform on time, although the Blacks were no-where to be found. Harry was a bit worried as to where his bestfriend could be. With just 5 minutes before the train left Draco and Narcissa had come through the barrier, both looking tired and puffed. This was very out of character with them both usually being beautifully groomed when in public. Narcissa quickly cast a few charms to fix her appearance as well as Draco's.
Harry let out a sigh of relieve that he didn't realize he had been holding. Severus briskly walked over to Draco and took his trunk and placed it on board. Both boys said quick good-bye's and promised to write. They both boarded the train with smiles on their faces. All three parents left with happy tears in their eyes. Severus would see them soon though at school where he was the most feared teacher at school. However, the boy's didn't know this yet, but would soon find out.
They boys found an empty compartment and sat down. Harry took out some cards for a game of exploding snap. After a few games they decided to get some food off the trolley then have a quick sleep before arriving. Boys being boys bought heaps of lollies off the trolley and stuffed themselves till they felt like they would burst. They decided to get changed just in-case they slept the rest of the way. It wouldn't look good if they were late and in Muggle clothing. Both boys soon fell asleep with smiles on their faces knowing they would soon be at Hogwarts.
