On the drive back home from the water park Harry was forced to listen to Uncle Vernon rave to Petunia about Draco and his Father "you should of seen this man Petunia he was definitely of noble birth" "but his son was wearing a dress" Dudley laughed "no he wasn't" harry snapped "they were robes and on top of that you called him a girl" "you… what!" Uncle Vernon yelled "whoever that man is he has quite a bit of money behind him you do not insult people who are more powerful than you" "but he look stupid" Dudley whined "well it was probably a foreign style people who have that money don't dress in common clothes" Uncle Vernon went on about how Harry and Dudley were invited to the Malfoy Manor, but Harry just stared out the window think of the boy he meet and how for the first time ever he had made a friend who was like him, though he said that Harry could do "magic" it was the first time someone had ever made him feel special, but he didn't realise that by the time he got home he would find an interesting letter at his doorstep.
Draco had spent the rest of his day in Diagon Alley buy everything he could need he was really looking for the perfect birthday gift for Harry. He finally decide that since Harry seemed to be behind on his knowledge of the magical world he got him "Hogwarts: A History" "Quidditch thought history" and a nice set of quills and inks along with a notebook for Harry. He still couldn't get over the fact that his father actually approved of Harry, his father almost never approved of anyone so if his father approved then he and Harry would be great friends. That night as he got ready for bed, packing up everything he need for school when he heard someone in the Drawing Room so he snuck down in his pyjamas to see his mother and father talking.
"Draco actually talked to the boy" his mother said …wait was she referring to Harry… "Yes when he was lost he found the Potter boy" "but are you sure it…" but she was cut off "of course I sure he had the scar from the Dark Lord" and that's when Draco remembered the name Potter… that boy was the legendary Harry Potter who destroyed the Dark Lord when he was only a baby. No wonder the boy had never heard of magic, his parents didn't escape the Dark Lord and there were rumors that the boy had been put into hiding after his parents were killed so that's why there was that hideous fat man as his guardian, but he didn't seem like the way Draco thought he would look. He always imaged the boy who killed the Dark Lord to be a Tall and Handsome boy, Happy, care-free person, popular with everyone, but instead he meet a small boy with black hair that never sat still in one place and those beautiful green eyes behind some broken glass in clothes that were too big for him, but he actually preferred the Harry he met because though he wouldn't admit it… he thought that Harry was cute. He was smaller than Draco and pleasant to be around and as Draco realised that Harry will be the first person he ever bought a gift for so as Draco snuck back up to his room he began to image what Harry would say when they meet each other again.
Draco was wait at platform 9 and ¾ for the Hogwarts express to take-off with his mother and father reassuring him he was going to be in Slytherin "everyone of are family are from that house Draco" his father said with pride "and so will you" Draco was already dressed in his uniform and under his cape he was holding the gifts he bought for Harry looking around for the boy "Oh Lucius" his mother said "look" as Draco turned to see the Weasley's family come near. Draco had always been taught that some wizarding families were better than others. There was Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley and there only daughter, the Weasley twins and the Strange Prefect that the family managed to produce then he saw something terrible. He saw the youngest Weasley with Harry Potter, his Harry. Harry and the twins quickly got ahead of them and stepped on to the train, but Draco noticed that the twins came off quickly and was telling the family that the boy they had help was Harry Potter. Draco couldn't help but be jealous "I wish I could have helped him" Draco thought, but then he noticed that Potter was hiding just out of view of the Weasleys. He seemed to be listening to the Weasleys "Come on Draco let go see how some of the lesser families are doing and help your new friend find out who the better families are" his father said with a smirk as his mother and father began to walk over to the Weasleys. Harry then noticed them coming over and said "Draco" with a smile and walked over to the Malfoys at the surprise of the Weasleys "it's good to see you again Harry" Draco said and then brought out the gifts he bought "I know your birthday was a few days ago but here" "oh wow" Harry said "I've never really gotten gift before… thank you" he said with a small smile "Arthur" Lucius said coldly "Lucius" Arthur said back "oh dearie you now this boy" Mrs. Weasley said as she walked over to Harry as she put a hand on his shoulder much to the hatred of Draco "yes I meet him over the summer" Harry said naively having no idea of the hatred between the Malfoys and the Weasleys. Then suddenly the whistle blew signalling to get on the train. "Come on Draco you need to get on" as his parents started walking over to other Slytherin families. "See you Potter" "Bye Draco" Harry said as the Weasleys help him and their children on to the train. Soon enough the train took off and Harry and Ron sat down in the same compartment. They sat down and introduced themselves to each other and then the candy trolley rolled over and Harry bought a whole bunch for him and Ron. "So how do you know the Malfoy" Ron asked and Harry explained about how they meet over the summer, then suddenly Ron burst out laughing "Malfoy got lost using the Floo network" "it doesn't seem that fun" harry said in a slightly cross tone "The Malfoys are always bragging about their son about how he mastered the Floo network at 4 years old, how he master broom stick flying at 7 years old" and for the rest of the ride they got to know each other and they meet Hermione Granger on the trip.
Soon they got to the station and they got off Harry noticed Draco was getting out a few compartments back as they caught each other's eyes. Harry tried to get to Draco, but Ron dragged him forward and on to a boat with Hermione and a boy named Neville which Draco noticed this "How dare he touch Harry, stupid Weasley you going pay for that" Draco thought as he sat in a boat with fellow child whose parents were from Slytherin. They then came across the lake to Hogwarts and entered the Great Dining Hall. Soon enough they were doing the Sorting Hat ceremony as the students were being sorted into their houses. "Malfoy, Draco" McGonagall called so Draco stepped on to the platform and sat on the chair, noticing that Harry was staring at him he sent a smirk in his direction make Harry blush slightly and look away much to Draco's pleasure. The Professor was about to place the hat on his head when it called out "Slytherin" and the Slytherin table cheered. He then started walking over when he heard faintly "there isn't a witch or wizard that didn't good bad that wasn't in Slytherin" he then noticed that the Weasley was telling Harry that. How dare he try and turn Harry against him. He sat down glaring at Weasley, but then stopped when McGonagall called out "Potter, Harry" and the whole room went silent, even DumbledoreHHHH sat up slightly higher to see the small, black hair boy nervously sit down on the chair and have the Sorting Hat place on his head as Draco waited with anticipation "Now that stupid Weasley will see that Potter was one of us" he thought as he hear the hat mention that Harry would fit in perfectly in Slytherin "we will get to have are classes together and at Christmas he'll bring him to the Manor" as Draco was thinking about all the fun he and potter would get into when he heard "better be…" "Slytherin" Draco thought "Gryffindor" the hat shout as the whole Gryffindor table burst out in cheering and clapping and chanting "we got potter, we got potter" Draco just sat there stunned "but how is that possible" he thought "he defeated the Dark Lord when he was a baby, he was probably one of the most powerful wizards to ever exist so he should of course be in Slytherin" but soon enough the ceremony ended and dinner started. But Draco spent the whole dinner still being slightly stunned as he noticed all of the Gryffindors introducing themselves to Harry and that stupid Weasley and mudblood all over him and for a few seconds when the introductions stopped Harry and Draco caught each other's eyes. Harry gave a small, sad smile in Draco's direction letting him know one important thing that made him very happy.
That Harry still considered Draco his only friend and if Draco had his way it would stay like that.
