CHAPTER ONE

      Draco Malfoy looked at himself in the mirror once again before he left. He knew he looked fine, but something was different, and he just couldn't put his finger on it.

      Just then, there came a knock on the door. 'Who is it now?' he thought to himself.

      "Draco! Mother wants you." Called the high-pitched voice of his sister, Michelle.

      "Ok, Michelle. Tell her I'll be right down," said Draco.

      "But she wants you now, Draco!" said Michelle.

      "Fine, fine! I'm coming." Draco said as he stepped towards the door and opened it.

      There was Michelle, standing there in the doorway, with her hands on her hips, glaring up at him.

      "Get out of the way!" He snapped at the little, seven-year-old, blonde-haired girl in front of him.

      "No, you've got to say 'please'." She said shaking her head, making her pigtails waver.

      "Fine! Please get out of the way." He said annoyed.

      "Ok!" She said. And she left, skipping down the hallway back to her room. He rolled his eyes. 'Little sisters, who needs them?"

      He went down stairs to the living room, where his mother was waiting for him.

      "Yes, Mother?" He said as he entered the room.

      "Are you packed, Draco? Your father is leaving in a few hours, with or without you." Narcissa said, adjusting his school robes.

      "Almost, Mother, I've just got a few things left to pack, and I'll be done."

      "Well you better hurry up, your father is waiting. You don't want to be late for the train."

      "Yes, Mother." With that, he turned around and left.

      After he had packed, he called his falcon, Shadow, and put her in her cage. Then he picked up his cats, Chips and Patches, and put them in their carrier and went down to the Entrance Hall of the Malfoy Manor, where his father was waiting. He shifted his hands so that he could carry the cage, carrier, and his trunk.

      "Are you forgetting something, Draco?" his father asked.

      "Oh! Almost forgot about that." Said Draco, as he pulled out his Prefect badge from his pocket and pinned it to the front of is robes.

      "Now are you ready, Draco?"

      "As ready as I'll ever be. Are we Apparating, Father?"

      "Yes, Draco. Now hold on." He grabbed a hold of Draco's right wrist and Apparated.
