What could have happened if Voldemort had never been? Harry could have found a new house at Hogwarts, known his parents and godfather, and maybe even found love in the strangest of places…
I wrote this for my bestest friend in the whole wide world. This is my first Harry Potter ff, and my first guy/guy one, so be nice please! Even though only Stevie has an opinion that matters… :) Ahahah. Love you Charles! :)
Harry was making his way up the Hogwarts express as his parents, Lilly and James, and godfather, Sirius, started fading from sight. He didn't know anyone and was excited to finally start at the magical school to learn anything he could. He found a compartment with only three other boys in it and decided it was as good a place as any.
He sat down across from a boy with sleek blonde hair and a look of disgust on his face pointed, fine-boned face. He was looking at the other two boys, both thick-looking, with dark hair and rather plump, one of them a little taller than the other. If Harry wasn't mistaken the two boys were talking about when the lunch trolley would arrive. Harry was also sure that these three new boys were all first years; same as himself.
After about an hour of just looking out the window he heard movement and looked to see the two plump boys walk out in search of the elusive trolley. Harry turned his gaze to the blonde boy and was met with piercing grey eyes. "My name is Draco Malfoy," the boy said to Harry holding out his hand. Harry took the gesture happily. His hand was warm and soft in Harry's. "I'm Harry Potter."
"Is this your first year at Hogwarts?" Draco asked and smiled when Harry nodded. "Mine too."
"Do you know what house you want to be in?" Harry asked trying to make conversation now that Draco was acknowledging him. Harry had had a hard time not examining this new person in his life when he had been looking out the window to the rolling landscape.
"My whole family has been in Slytherin, but I'm not sure if I care much. It would be nice to keep the tradition alive though," he looked thoughtfully at Harry. "What about you? Do you have any ideas?"
"Hmmmm, I wouldn't mind being in Slytherin." This was a lie. Harry had never had a second thought about ever wanting to be in Slytherin. That is, until he met his steel-eyed love.
So, this isn't the end of the story I just wanted Stevie to be able to read some of it and tell me if she likes it. :)
