this is my first fan fic so please go easy on me plz :)
This year Draco Malfoy decided he was going to be different, his father was dead and his mother was finally happy.
He loved to see his mother happy it had been such a long time since he had seen her smile, and he only wished for her to stay happy. For that to happen, he needed to change, for when she looked at him her smile always faltered.
She tried to hide it from him, she still smiled and laughed when he was around, and for anyone else they would have thought she was always happy. But he knew his mother, and when he looked at her there was always a hint of hurt, a hint of sadness, and a hint of disappointment. At first he belived he was a lost cause, he viewed himself as a cruel, mean and emotionless man. However it took him awhile to realise he was wrong, yes he was cruel and mean, but he was not compleatly emotionless, he still cared about his mother.
And so he had decided he was going to change, for his mother.
He did not know how he was going to change, he knew it was going to be hard and it would take him a long time.
It was the first day back at Hogwarts. Draco was in his seventh year and he knew it was going to be hell. Not all the students were going back, and the ones that were returning, he knew they hated him, but it was for that reason that he was going back. If they couldn't change him then he believed no one could.
However when he got onto the Hogwarts express he found a compartment that was empty. A few people came in thinking it was empty however as they seen him they backed out and left him alone. After what seemed like forever the compartment door opened again, he didn't bother to look to see who had came in, he just stared out the window. However he heard the person sit down in the compartment and he turned to see who it was. It was Blaise Zabini. Maybe he wasn't as alone as he first thought. They looked at each other both as expressionless as the other and exchanged a short nod. They never said a word.
