He stood there waiting for the train to arrive.He leaned against his trolley.The young man was now in his seventh year of hogwarts ,in slytherian.He had grown taller and didn't keep his blonde hair slick back.He let his hair loose which came to his chin.He sighed remembering the last six years being mean and rude to Harry Ron and Hermione.He hoped that he could change that and become friends with them though he doubted it.He looked at his watch."Ten more minutes"he said to himself.He pushed his hair behind his ear.
"Come on children nine minutes till the train arrives."The women had four children trying to keep up.The boy turned around and recognized the women.She was Ron's mother.He notice that they have changed during the summer.Harry didn't have his glasses anymore and had cut his hair shorter making it less messy.Ron didn't have freckles and had brushed his hair back neatly.The blonde boy smirked.They sure have changed He said to himself.He glanced at the taller girl.Was that hermione?Her hair was not frizzy and had very few waves.Her eyebrows were thinner and were very attractive.Ginny was a bit taller and stayed the same except for the length of her hair which came to her waist.The train blew its whistle as it arrived.It slowly stopped.The boy straighten up as the luggage people grabbed his suit case and took them to the cart box where the suit cases were placed.He got on the train and looked around for a seat.There was no place for him to sit or either no one wanted him near them.The train was filled with people and so needed to find a seat before the train started moving.He heard laughter.The compartment door was opened and there was an empty seat.He sighed in relief but then groaned.Harry Hermione and Ron we in there.They stopped laughing and looked at him.Ron was the first to recognize him.He gave him a dirty look.
"What do you want Malfoy?"Harry and Hermione looked at each other."If your thinking on asking us to sit here the answer is no"Ron put his feet on the empty seat.
"Why don't you find another place to sit?"Harry stood up and pointed down the aisle.Hermione nodded her head.
"There isn't anywhere to sit and I've been up and down the aisle three times."Draco looked at Harry and then to Ron.Ron rolled his eyes.Harry folded his arms and turned to look at Hermione and Ron.There was complete silence.The train whistled to warn that the train was about to be leaving the station.Hermione broke the silence with a loud sigh.
"Fine Draco..we'll let you sit with us but when we come back home you better find another sit because we won't let you sit with us again."
"WHAT?!"Ron quickly stood up that he almost fell over.Harry looked at her in disbelief.
"Oh don't give me that look....listen it's just for right now its not like he will be sitting with us when we come back home."Hermione pushed her hair back and patted Ron's and Harry's shoulder before sitting down.Ron slowly sat down and scooted towards the window.Draco sat down near the edge of the seat.Harry looked at Ron and then to Hermione who was peacefully reading a book.Draco had his arms folded and was looking down at the ground.He wanted to say he was sorry for being mean and rude to them but the dirty look on Ron stooped him.Draco reposition himself.He felt very uncomfortable sitting with them.Hermione put her book down and stood up.
"W-where are you going?"Ron straighten himself up.
"I...need to use..the ladies room"Hermione gave ron a strange look and headed out shaking her head.Harry and Ron looked at each other and then glanced at Draco who had his eyes closed.His silky blonde hair covered his face.Ron took out his brand new wand and wanted to cast a spell on Draco but Harry stopped him.
"I know you want to get him back for making a fool out of you but right now isn't the chance so just drop it"Harry lowered Ron's arm.Draco opened his eyes and looked at them suspiciously.He sighed and pushed his hair back which slid back down into place.Ron coughed a few times.Draco gave him an angry and disgusted look.Harry new what Ron was thinking and bit his lower lip to keep himself from laughing.Hermione walked back in and took her seat.She had bought chocolate frogs for each of them including Draco.She handed Ron and Harry theirs.She handed Draco one but he shook his head and looked at the ground.Hermione shrugged and but the chocolate frog on her lap.The train whistled as it started to slow down.Draco was the first to stand up.Harry Hermione and Ron smiled at each other.They all got off the train and headed to the professor who called for all seventh years.They took wagons to the castle like school.Again Harry Ron and Hermione were stuck with Draco.He himself wasn't happy and was muttering unpleasant things.
"What was that malfoy?"Ron clenched his fist.Harry held on to his shoulder.
"Why would you care?It wasn't about you.Besides your not even worth to talk about."Draco folded his arms and smirked.Ron's face got red.Harry held tighter.Draco looked out of the window and sighed."And people will get bored if they talk or even hear about you"Draco looked at Ron.Damn.I did it again...damn it Draco your supposed to try and make friends with them.
"Listen Draco we were nice enough to let you sit with us on the train.....so why be so rude to us?Can't you just shut up for right now..we weren't happy with you sitting with us."Hermione looked at him with angry eyes.Draco looked at her and felt his cheeks get warm he looked quickly looked away.'The way she grew...wow....talk about fine.Wait but she's in gryffindor....and she's friends with Harry and Ron..and she hates me..so there is no way I can go out with her....damn if I wasn't so.....rude an mean to them'.He sighed.Hermione took that as an okay.She looked at Ron and Harry with a big smile.The wagons arrived to the school and all of the students got of.They all went to the great hall and sat at there assigned tables.They waited until the first years were sorted into there houses.Crabbe and Goyle sat on each side of Draco as they always did.Draco sat there and looked at the gryffindor table.He had his chance to apologize to them.
The sorting was finally over and the feast began.Draco didn't touch his food.Crabbe and Goyle looked at him and asked him what was wrong.Draco just shook his head.Soon all them went to find their common rooms.Harry Ron and Hermione walked slowly laughing and joking.Draco now had his chance.
"Harry!Wait!"Draco suddenly had second thoughts but it was to late.Harry Hermione and Ron turned and looked at him.
"Why should we.....so we can listen to another one of you smart rude remarks..well we don't have time for that."Harry grabbed Hermione's arm and walked away.Ron gave him another one of his dirty looks before walking after Harry and Hermione.
"Ron..wait....please"Draco stood there waiting if Ron would listen to him.Ron turned around slowly looking at him suspiciously."I have to tell you something...wish I could say it to all of you..."He took a deep breath.
"Well I don't have all night.What is it you wanted to say?"Ron folded his arms and looked at him waiting for an answer.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry...I'm sorry for being mean and rude to you for the last past six years....I was immature back then."Draco looked down at his feet his silky blonde hair falling over his face.Ron was shocked."I'm sorry"
