Chapter One- Arrival

Draco walked into the great hall well before it was even set UP for the first feast. His father had come to talk to Dumbledore so naturally he brought his son. The hall was dead quiet, all he heard was the slight clack of his shoes against the marble floor as he walked towards the teachers platform. He taped his fingers against his thigh in boredom. He stepped up to the sorting hat and ruffly hit it onto the ground to get to what it was siting on. He picked up the list of new students and started to quickly skim it. Draco then rolled the list up and stuffed it in his back pocket, knowing Professor McGonagall would have a spare in her room.

Draco noticed his dad, standing in the archway waiting for him, out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey dad… How'd it go?" Draco headed towards his father.

"It was fine. The care taker put your stuff in your room so if you would like to go change for tea," Lucius gripped his cane tightly and genitally hit it against Draco's ankle motioning him to go change, "We will be having tea with Dumbledore." Lucius snarled as he said the headmasters name.

Draco silently walked to the Slytherin Dungeon. As he got to the common room entry he slowed down to a stop then sighed, "Pure-Blood….," the wall opened up revealing the common room, Draco Glided in "I cant believe the passwo- No… you know I can actually… See Gryffindor changes their password almost every month. We…. well we never change. I'm getting kind of bored with this…" Draco found his bed and started to rummaging through his stuff looking for something to wear that his dad would be okay with.

Draco picked up the teacup that his father had just set down in front of him as Lucius set down Dumbledore's then his own. Draco sipped on his tea for a minute until his dad broke the silence.

" So Draco, Dumbledore tells me that last year your grades slipped compared to your previous two years…" Lucius slurped some tea down in an obnoxious way.

"Well my arm got broken and all you did was have them put it in a stupid muggle cast." Draco placed his cup on the table and sat up straight waiting for Lucius to do something.

"Excus-" Lucius started to stand up.

"No need for that now Lucius. We are having tea. Tea calms ones self." Dumbledore pulled Draco's father back down to his seat.

After that they all just sat silently drinking tea until Lucius got up and said goodbye to the others then left for Malfoy manor.

As Draco was about to leave Dumbledore's office when Dumbledore stopped him.

"So did any names catch your eye?"

Draco hesitated for a minute. " I-I don't know what your talking about… Sir…."

Dumbledore chuckled and stood up "The names on the missing list of new students.I know you took it. But that doesn't really matter we always have at least one spare. For some reason this year we have two… But alas. only McGonagall knows why, If you know what I mean." Dumbledore winked at Draco

Draco stopped at the door "I have no idea what you mean sir… Am i supposed to?"

Dumbledore simply waved Draco off "REMEMBER don't be late for the feast! There's something very important going on tonight at the feast!"

Draco walked out of Dumbledore's office wondering what he meant by that.'Something important? Like the feast or… He's just a crazy old bat. That's it….' Draco thought to himself but still couldn't shake the weird feeling that Dumbledore meant something more.

Draco didn't know what to do for the next three hours until he over heard McGonagall talking to Flitwick.

"Yes! I am sure we need to go down to Hogsmade to get them! Look. Dumbledore will NOT appreciate if we don't have everything perfect for his arrival!" McGonagall hissed quietly.

"B-but are you positive? we don't actually need those do we?" Flitwick stuttered nervously .

"Yes I'm positive. I'm never not. So you go down to Hogsmade and pick the items up." She stopped in front of the pillar that Draco was hiding behind

"B-but you know i hate going to Hogsmade alone…" He stopped since he was following Minerva.

"Bring the Malfoy boy. Since he has nothing better to do then eavesdrop on his teachers." Professor McGonagall turns and faces Draco. Then walks off towards the Transfiguration class room.

"For the record, I was NOT eavesdropping.," Malfoy said loudly to be sure McGonagall heard him. "But i will go with you if you want.. It's not how I'd like to spend my afternoon but. If it will get me to Hogsmade…"

Flitwick smiled happily and dragged Draco along with him to the carriages.

"Um… Sir… Can i get my Galleons?" Draco tried to pull away from Flitwick's grasp.

"No need! I'll pay for whatever you want. Just pay me back later!" Flitwick pushed Draco into the magic carriage.

"Sir… What is it exactly that you have to buy?" Draco struggled against him slightly.

"Well really we are just running errands for some teachers… Plus Dumbledore lost a bet to Mad-Eye Moody so we need to get Mad-Eye some stuff…" Flitwick pulled himself in.

"What kind of stuff?" Draco questioned as the carriage started.

Flitwick handed Draco a list with three items on it "I'll put you in charge of that since you seem so interested."
