Draco stared out the window at the snow drifts on the school grounds.
Another year of staying at school for Christmas. His fifth year at
Hogwarts and still he had no girlfriend. He missed his home at times like
this, and wanted to be there more than anything. He stood and paced his
room, the large room with five four-poster beds, then sat down at the
window again.
As he watched, three figures spun into view, one green and black, one red, and one brown. Potter and his friends, Draco thought. He wished he could have that much fun. He was so lonely. He brushed his blonde hair out of his eyes and sighed. His father's old school books lay on the bed in a careless heap next to his bear, his old bear given to him by his dad's best friend when he was little. It was brown with the Slytherin symbol on its chest like a sweater.
He hugged the bear and remembered his home. His dad didn't want him to come home because Voldemort was out to get them. He was safe at Hogwarts. No one could get him here.
A puff of smoke in the distance caught his attention. The train was arriving, bringing the students back from the holidays. He stood and marched off to the bathroom to fix his robes and hair, he had to make an impression on the first years as a rich young man, not a sloppy school boy. He stared at his reflection in the mirror for a few minutes. He was handsome, pale with ice blue eyes and blonde hair. He smiled to himself and strode out of the bathroom to the great hall.
The Christmas feast was early this year. The teachers seemed rattled and the sorting hat was out. New students didn't arrive after Christmas, Draco thought. When the feast was over, Dumbledore stood to address the students and teachers.
"For the remainder of this year, because of safety matters, we have ordered a new protection system for the school. No, it is not the Demontors again, it is a different type of protection. We had this when I was in school here and when some of your parents were here. It is a four person army. They are called the Angels. Treat them with respect, they will be sorted into houses. Also, we will have a new Quidditch game. It will be teacher games, teachers from each house are needed. We already have the seekers and the Slytherin keeper, Professor Snape." At this, the Slytherin's applause erupted in the hall. Dumbledore waved his hand when the applause stopped, and the doors were opened.
The new protectors were an amazing sight. The girls were strikingly beautiful and the boy was just as handsome. Draco could see Harry and Ron's eyes grow at the sight of them. They marched in single file, first a girl with short, black hair and red robes, followed by a girl with long, red hair and green robes. Then, the boy with shoulder-length blonde hair and blue robes, then a girl with long blonde hair and black robes. They marched to the teachers' table shaking hands with each as they went along. The blonde girl seemed not to care about the teachers that much and moved along at a slower rate than the others.
After shaking hands, the protectors were lined up in front of the hall. Professor McGonagall stepped up to the sorting hat._____
