Dear Mother and Father,
As you requested before I left, I will keep you updated about the events taking place in Hogwarts this year. So here is my first letter.
Today was the sorting of the new pupils. All were sorted as expected, except Javed's daughter Alyzabeth, who was placed in Gryffindor instead of Slytherin as expected. Not that there's anything wrong with being in Gryffindor.
"Not that you'd know that, anyway. But still, I can't write that." He flicked his wand at the parchment, making his last sentence disappear.
...as expected. I'm sure it would be best if you let her tell her father this herself. After all, some good may come of it, she may be useful for the cause. Slytherin is already ahead of Gryffindor in the race for house-points, due to some misplaced words from the Golden Boy himself. I'm in the Owlery at the moment, preparing a messenger owl to send this as soon as it is finished.
Dumbledore rambled on in his speech as normal, saying that we needed to "stand together" in these "troubled times". But when have these times ever troubled us?
How are you both? Is business going as planned? I will write again soon with more information.
Your son,
Draco
"There, done!" and he sent it on his way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the Gryffindor common room Draco retired to the boy's dorm.
Collapsing on his four-poster bed Draco pulled the curtains magically around himself blocking himself out from the rest of the Gryffindor household. It wasn't long before he had drifted off into an unpleasant memory.
It was warm in the Great Hall, probably due to the general crowd of disconcerted first years gathered around him. There was a hushed silence as a strange singing erupted from a hat on a stool. Father had told me about this moment, this was the sorting hat singing its yearly anthem. He said this should be the proudest moment of my life, being sorted into the house of our family, the house of Slytherin.
After the stupid song had finished, the sorting began. Students were being sorted into the four houses, one after another. The Longbottom kid was sorted into Gryffindor, no surprises there, but the dumb twit walked off with the hat on his head. Before I knew it, it was my turn. I waltzed up to the stool and proudly took the hat in two hands. It didn't take long before it had decided. And it wasn't the result I expected.
'GRYFFINDOR!!!!'
I nearly fainted. But Malfoys don't make a scene. I walked casually to the Gryffindor table pretending I didn't care.
Not that my disappointment was noticed for that long as none other than Harry Potter was sorted into - you guessed it - Gryffindor. Bah humbug to him. Like he would be put anywhere else!!!
Outside his terrible nightmare Draco Malfoy was squirming in his bed, but the privacy of his curtains secured this knowledge from his peers. He awoke with a start, pulling himself from the unconscious. Peering out of the crimson drapes he saw the rest of the guys were sleeping. The pale moonlight glinted on the golden rails of the central spiral staircase showing Malfoy the way down the main common area. The grand clock that stood in the corner told him that it was four in the morning. He'd only slept for three hours.
He slumped in one of the comfy armchairs thinking of the Slytherins. He still had the tendency to think of what their common room looked like, and the parties they might be having. Even after the previous four years at Hogwarts there was still a slight bemusement at why he placed here. His family's worst nightmare if they ever found out. He made a decision to go and see his godfather in the morning.
The End of Chapter One
