Chapter 1: How Draco Saw it

Draco was very excited to finally be going to Hogwarts and maybe he could finally make some real friends, not just the ones his father gave him to play with, real friends.

The he heard Madam Malkin say something, "Hogwarts, dear? Got the lot here - another young man being fitted up just now in fact."

Draco saw the boy, he had messy black hair, bespectacled green eyes, and muggle clothes that were far to big for him. Draco decided right then that he was going to make this boy his friend.

"Hello," Draco said, "Hogwarts too?"

"Yes," said the boy. 'Good now just start a conversation,' Draco told himself.

"My fathers next door buying my books and mother's up the street looking at wands," Draco said, 'good place to start,' he complemented himself, "Then I'm going to drag them off to look at racing brooms. I don't see why first years can't have their own. I think I'll bully father into getting me one and I'll smuggle it in somehow," Oh no he didn't seem to like that. It's ok just change the subject, Draco.' "Have you got your own broom?" He continued, subtly changing the subject.

"No," said the boy.

"Play Quidditch at all?" Draco asked knowing this would be a great topic for anyone in the wizarding world.

"No," the boy answered, 'guess not'.

"I do - Father says it's a crime if I'm not picked to play for my house, and I must say I quite agree. Know what house you'll be in yet?" Draco asked trying to get the boy to tell Draco more about himself.

"No," Draco still couldn't get more than a one syllable answer out of the boy.

"Well, no one really knows until they get there, do they," Draco said trying to reassure the boy, "But I know I'll be in Slytherin, all of out family have been - imagine being in Hufflepuff, I think I would leave wouldn't you?"

"Mmm," said the boy, Draco was getting upset with these one syllable answers. Then he spotted a large man outside the window, and hoped it would get the boy to talk.

"I say look at that man!" Draco said pointing to the window.

"That's Hagrid. He works at Hogwarts."

"Oh," said Draco glad to finally get the boy to talk tried to keep it up, "I've heard of him. He's a sort of servant, isn't he?"

"He's the game keeper."

"Yes, exactly. I heard he's a sort of savage - lives on the school grounds and every now and then he gets drunk, tries to do magic and ends up setting fire to his bed."

"I think he's brilliant," The boy said defensively.

"Do you?" Draco said sneering a little to try and hide his distress, " Why is he with you? Where are your parents?"

"They're dead."

"Oh sorry," Draco said, very upset that he brought the boys dead parents into this, " But they were our kind, weren't they?"

"They were a witch and wizard, if that's what you mean."

"I really don't think they should let the other sort in, do you? They're just not the same, they've never been brought up to know our ways. Some of them have never heard of Hogwarts until they get the letter, imagine. I think they should just keep it in the old wizarding families," Draco said, repeating what his Father told him when he got his letter, "What's your surname, anyway?"

But before the boy could answer, Madam Malkin said, "That's you done, my dear," and the boy hopped down from the stool, much to Draco's disappointment.

"Well, I'll see you at Hogwarts, I suppose," Draco said, completely determined to meet the boy again and become his friend.

Every time Draco thought back to this moment Draco got an aching whole in his chest. Then there was the more resent moment when Harry saved his life, even though he hated it, it gave him a small warm feeling in his chest and he didn't know what this feeling was.
