Harry's POV

I sighed as I looked out the window of my godfather's Volvo. I will be starting a new school today. I just moved to Burbank, California from England. I don't really understand why he couldn't come out to England so i didn't have to lose all my friends. The car ride is silent. Neither of us have anything to say.

We pulled up to the school. I got out of the car and waved to Sirius. "Bye Harry!" He said as I shut the door. I started walking up to the front door. When I stepped inside the school building I looked around not sure where the office was. I sighed and started walking thinking that if I walked around long enough I would find the office. I didn't notice where I was going until I ran into someone.

"Oh my! I'm sorry!" I said quickly. "It's okay." The girl answered. " Are you lost?"

"Very" I said flushing. "Can you show me where the office is? By the way I'm Harry. Harry Potter." I held out my hand.

"It's a pleasure. I'm Hermione, Hemione Granger. And follow me." She shook my hand and than we sarted walking but were soon stopped by a red headed boy. "Oh Harry this is my friend Ron."

I shook hands with this Ron."Nice to meet you" I said.

"Nice to meet you too" He and Hermione started talking as we continued our walk to the office.

"We're here." Hermione said as she pulled me in. She walked up to the lady at the front desk and said"I need Harry Potter's class list please." The lady handed them over. "Oh Harry! You, Ron and I have all the same classes!" She said happily. "Come on before we're late." She lead us to class.

When we walked in the teacher said" Class we have a new student. Will you please come up here and tell us something about yourself."

I stood at the front of the class. I took a deep breath and said"Hi. My name is Harry Potter. I'm 16, I just moved here from England, and I'm gay." The class didn't say or do anything.

"Okay, that's nice Harry now take your seat." The teacher said. I sat down beside Ron and Hermione in the front of the class. The teacher started talking. I wasn't paying attention I didn't even know what class this was. Half way through class I felt eyes boring into the back of my head. I looked back and say a handsom guy with blonde hair and grey blue eyes glaring at me.

"Who is he?" I whispered to Ron.

"That is Draco Malfoy. Stay away from him. He is the worst kind." Ron spat his name.

I faced the front for the rest of class.

~Time Lapse~

Draco was in all my classes. I didn't talk to him though.

It was the end of the day. I was walking out to Sirius' Volvo. "See you guys tomorrow!" I called to Ron and Hermione.
"See you tomorrow!" They called back.

I got into the car."How was your first day?" Sirius asked me.

"Good. There's this boy I kind of like but my friends are telling me to stay away." I answered.

"Well it's good you made friends. Maybe you should talk to the boy before you judge if you should stay away or not." Sirius said.

"Alright I might do just that." The rest of the car ride was silent.
