i: In the blood
"SLYTHERIN!" the Sorting Hat roars before it's even touched his head, and Draco smiles, satisfied. It's not as if he wasn't expecting it - he's a Malfoy, after all, it's in his blood - but he's still proud that, without even needing consideration, the hat has declared him a member of the ancient house of his ancestors.
He takes in his new housemates as he walks up to take his place among them, and he can feel the ambition radiating from them, see the want and the hunger in their eyes. He knows immediately that this is an environment in which he will flourish.
A/N: So I signed up for the Your Favourite Hogwarts House Boot Camp on HPFC because I'm a Slytherin, but most of my fics seem to feature Gryffindors (probably something to do with Romione being my OTP ;)). I therefore decided to start this collection to give my house some love. This seemed like a logical place to start :) The prompt was "blood".
