It wasn't easy for Draco to board the train to Hogwarts, he kept on looking back at his mother and father who stood on the station so proudly. He was so used to seeing the two of them smile but now they had scowls plastered on their immaculate faces, he gave them a smile and waved towards them but only his mother returned the gestures.

He turned his back on them and took a breath before climbing onto the train, he looked into the compartments as he passed, noticing one with only a dark haired boy inside who was dazed off into his own little world. He went to open the door but was called by Blaise who was waving from a compartment a few doors down.

"Dray! Come on, hurry up! Before the mudbloods start arriving!" Pansy's voice was heard from inside the compartment.

Draco paused and looked back at the compartment where the lone boy was sat and sighed before continuing to walk towards the compartment where his friends were sat. He was welcomed with opened arms when walking into the compartment but he was too busy thinking about the boy back in the other compartment. He had seemed familiar to him but he couldn't place it.

Turns out the boy was Harry Potter, the boy who had lived.

Draco summoned all of his courage and walked toward Harry, he ran his hand over his hair to make sure that not even one hair was out of place and let a smile spread out onto his face. He reached the boy and held out his hand.

"Hi, I'm Draco, Draco Malfoy" He greeted the boy warmly, not looking away from his emerald eyes.

"Oh, hello, I'm Harry, Harry Potter" The dark haired boy replied with a smile, shaking Draco's hand.

"By any chance would you care to be my friend? After all, this school is a large place and everyone needs a friend" Draco asked him hopefully.

"You want to be my friend?" Harry gasped out with a smile. "I would love to, I mean, I've never had a friend before..."

"Well Harry, you have me now" Draco told the smaller boy while grinning, slinging an arm around the boy's shoulder and leading him up the stairs where McGonagall was waiting.
