A/N: Hallo tharr! Welcome to my story. I hope you enjoy it...and...stuff. I also hope you review. I really love reviews!

Disclaimer: I own nothing here. Which I don't love, but what can you do? Even if I did own Harry Potter I wouldn't be able to do it justice. Not like J.K.


"You'll find out some wizards are better than others, Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there."

Staring at Draco Malfoy's hand, Harry's mind whirled. What were the "wrong sort"? Everyone he had met so far seemed all right. But then again who did he meet? No one, except Hagrid who'd come to pick him up, and Draco who was in Madam Malkin's that day. Now sitting across from him in the train compartment.

Staring at him.

Harry started, coming from his daze to realize Draco was holding his hand out, all the while eyeing him expectantly. He reached out, hesitantly, giving it a shake, not even realizing what it might mean in the long run.

Draco smirked. "Good man." he said, giving Harry's hand one last squeeze. He quickly let go, crossing his arms over his chest. In a low, important sort of voice, he said, "There are four houses at Hogwarts. Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor. You don't want to find yourself in Gryffindor -- they're all thick. No, Slytherin is your best choice. But if you're not cut out for it then Ravenclaw is alright."

Harry nodded. Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor, he thought to himself. "Er...what about Hufflepuff?" he asked.

"Hufflepuff?" Draco scoffed. "You don't want to go there either. They're almost as bad as the Gryffindors..."

"Ah."

"Yes...and -- "

Harry was looking out the window, watching the wild scenery flicker by.

"And..." Draco seemed to be having trouble speaking.

"And?" he prompted, raising his eyebrows.

"And...what's happening to your hair?"

His heart beat faster. "Huh?" he asked, raising a hand to instinctively flatten the untidy mane.

"It's gone blonde!" Draco exclaimed.


A/N: Cliffhanger! Sort of. Kind of? Maybe! Leave a review if you can. It makes my day.
