Hello All! (or the four people that read this :P) This is my first DHr story so PLEASE bear with me. I'm still getting used to this. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT! R&R and tell me what you think! Bye~

"I totally agree! I mean what kind of person does that?!" Harry laughed as we got off the train.
"Well, him, for that matter!" I said. "I don't understand why he's even an auror!" I laughed at yet another pointless conversation about some dimwit we'd been discussing about in the ministry.
Harry and I have really got along quite well now. Harry. I can't even remember when we had gotten on a first name basis. Surprisingly, it didn't bother me one bit. We started working together in the ministry not long ago. I had some business with my company Malfoy Enterprises that I needed to discuss with him and he welcomed me with open arms. I was uneasy at first but I realized that if he could move past our differences, I could too. I was a complete idiot making fun of him, Weasley, and Granger. He was one of my closest friends now, apart from Blaise and Theo, and nothing was going to ruin that.
We got off the train and walked out of the station when I bumped into Harry as he suddenly stopped and looked up.
"Wow." He said. I looked up to see what he was staring at and 'wow' was right. There it stood magnificently and proud; Hogwarts.
"It never seems to disappoint me" I said overwhelmed.
A few months ago, Harry and I had both gotten letters that said we had gotten the honor of representing our houses along with four other alumni from our houses in a hunt to find the lost treasure of Hogwarts. I was puzzled at first when reading it. So was Harry. We didn't fully understand why they would pull us out of our careers to play in some stupid treasure hunt. To be honest however, I was getting quite bored of my current life as it is. Yes, I was a billionaire, was one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the wizarding world, had millions of girls swooning over me by day, had three close friends to truly rely on, and not to mention, I was a bloody Malfoy for crying out loud, but I never seemed to really get that 'wow' factor in my life. Therefore, I felt it would be a nice change to be a part of the silly game.
As Harry and I sat waiting, he started rambling about how he was "exceedingly energized"(as he put it) to see Granger, Weasley, and the Weaslette (they had gotten letters as well). It never fails to amaze me how well the three (well, four, counting weaslette) best friends maintain such a close relationship with one another without even meeting with each other during this past year. Harry had moved and therefore was not in touch with them and was too far away and busy with work to visit them. As a result, one could imagine the pain of standing next to someone about to piss their pants waiting for his friends to arrive.
I always wondered how all three of their lives turned out in these past 4 years. After the war, I had definitely changed. My morals, my business, and the people who I cared most about were the most important things in my life. So I was well out of my usual demeanor to hope and think that they had become dreadfully unsuccessful after Hogwarts and I was the only one to actually achieve something in life, but that wasn't me anymore. However, I was really intrigued at what their lives might be as of now.
It seemed like ages before a cab pulled up and out popped the ever so gracious, Ginny Weasley.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH! OH MY FREAKING GODS! HARRY IT'S YOU!"
She jumped out of her cab, dragged her things by the sidewalk and pounced on Harry like a clingy little gorilla.
"I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? I HEARD MALFOY'S WORKING WITH YOU NOW? HOW'S THAT LIKE? OH GOD. I'VE MISSED YOU! DON'T EVER LEAVE US AGAIN HARRY POTTER! DO YOU HEAR ME?"
Harry, now with an excited Weasley on top of him and a goofy smile spread across his face said, "I'VE MISSED YOU TOO GINNY! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW! And as for Malfoy, his name is 'Draco', he's a great guy and a better friend to me over the past couple of months, and he's standing right behind me."
I really loved that guy.
"Draco, this is Ginny. Ginny, this is Draco." He emphasized our first names.
I stepped out from behind Harry when Ginny looked me up and down and grinned. Did she approve?
I took her hand and kissed it like a gentleman and said, "Draco Malfoy. And how may I do you service, Miss. Weasley?" I winked at her. Harry rolled his eyes.
She blushed a deep shade of pink and said, "You can start by carrying my bags to my room!" She and Harry both laughed.
"Ah, assertive. I like that in a woman", I smirked. I've always had a way with the ladies.
We proceeded up the stairs and into the alumni common room. The rooms were aligned in a semi circle by house, the kitchen (and bar) up against the back of the wall, and a large lounge area in the middle of the room. There were already some Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws chatting up a conversation in the lounge. I was the only Slytherin so far and Ginny and Harry were the only Gryffindors. The two of them slumped down on one of the eight large sofas and started discussing about their plans for the holidays or something. I needed to take a shower and do a little reading. I'm not much of an introvert, but for some reason I felt like spending some time alone for a while, or until my fellow Slytherins showed up. I knew for a fact that Theo and Blaise got letters but I was still wondering who could have gotten the fourth.
I took my shower, changed in one of the dressing rooms (they really went over the top for us), and sat back and relaxed on one of the four queen size beds. After about ten minutes I was finally acquainted with the fourth Slytherin.
"DRAAAKKKIIIIEEE POOO!"
Oh god no. Please don't be. UGH. PANSY. FREAKING. PARKINSON.
Dammit.
