**Author's Note: This is just what it's called, an introduction. At first this will seem as though it doesn't fit but it is relevant to future chapters. Mostly this just introduces the main character. I'm sorry I haven't finished my other stories, but I haven't felt inspired to. I will have some time to finish them, though, so expect new chapters soon. For now, this is what I have to offer you. I hope you like it. If you do, please let me know!**
*Tap…tap…tap*There's a group of girls to her left giggling about some boy. She didn't catch the name. *Tap…tap…tap*The path between students narrowed making it harder for her to navigate through. Tap…tap…thunk…Her cane was jerked to the side and she heard someone miss stepping. She turned in the direction they went and was about to apologize when their voice interrupted her.
"Why don't you watch where you're going, you daft bint?" She could feel the heat of his anger coming off him.
"I'd love to." She smiled sweetly at him as she turned her blank eyes on him. "But as you can see that would be quite impossible. I'm sorry, we haven't met, your name is…" She reached her had out and he took it gingerly in his and the name was on the tip of her tongue and out of her mouth before he could speak. "Malfoy, Draco Malfoy. Am I correct?"
"Yes. Not surprising, though, everyone knows who I am." She hadn't let go of his hand which allowed her to see his haughty smile in her mind. In spite of his arrogance, he was still a bit troubled by her uncanny ability to make eye contact with out having sight.
"Well, far more surprising, considering I've been home schooled for the past two years and believe this is the longest conversation I've had since arriving. That's all right, though, I'm sure that you see many faces and remember only the few who fit into your perfect pure blood life. So it's really no surprise to you that you don't recall seeing me." He huffed. "I digress, my name is Adelina Burke, also pure blood, it that makes a difference to you."
"Burke? My mother's side of the family had a Burke. Do you think perhaps…"
"Yes." She interrupted. "I am distantly related to those Burkes. Now, if you don't mind, I would like to go to my dorm room. I'm afraid I may not be able to navigate through this mess on my own. Could you spare a moment?" Having been trained in strict manners, or perhaps because he feared the consequence of being rude to one of his own, He took the hand she was still holding him with and placed it on the crook of his arm. He carefully led her through the excited crowd in the main hallway to the stairs.
"Which house do you belong in?" he asked.
"Which house does the respectable pure blood belong in?" She chided.
"Of course." He slowly guided her down the stairs to the dungeons and into the Slytherin house. She pulled him to a stop and took his hands. As she was preparing to thank him, images flashed through her in a whirl wind. She was hardly able to catch most of the vision but she was disturbed none the less.
"You…I'm sorry. Thank-you for your time, but I'd appreciate if you not speak to me again. I have no desire to involve myself in the business your family is involved in. You'd do well to acquire some will power and make your own decisions before you find yourself in an undesirable place. Again, thank-you for your assistance. Please, forgive me." She quickly left him in his confusion before he could respond with the venom she knew he was capable of. She felt bad for the things she had said to him. He wouldn't understand. He was only thirteen and had yet to encounter the situations that would bring about life changing decisions. She was never as sure as she was at that moment that she should have just stayed home.
