1Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Draco Malfoy . . . yet.

Story talk: I'm not really sure where I am going to go with this nor am I sure that I am going to finish it so please do not become to attached. But I will try. This will probably be reasonably short. I hope enjoy it.

Authoress Ramble: I went to TeePee last night. TeePee is this like a dance club for the seventh and eighth graders in our school district and last night they hosted a dance for the highschool. I wasn't going to go then my friend called and beg me and I was all like 'fne if I must.' Well I went and I swear I was going to kill her. The place was full of freshmen. Sorry to any freshmen that may be reading this, but it was seriously scary. Our freshmen are completely insane. They were jumping all over the place and they did this Jewish dance thing, which I somehow got stuck doing as well. I was like you all are crazy.

Moral of this ramble: The class of 2008 is insane.

Chapter: 1

"Time to get up. Rise and shine. Come on wake up. . . . . The gods dammit get out of bed this instance." Draco woke to a loud thud. Upon opening his eyes his realized he was what made the loud thud. Draco looked up from the floor to find his mother standing over him hands on her hips.

"Bloody hell woman! What do you want? Have you not realized that it is Saturday?" Draco said as he stood up and brushed himself off.

"It is proper to wake up at six regardless of the day."

"We've already had this discussion. I don't care what you think is proper and I do what I want privately as long as I do what you want publicly. You know I am pretty sure that my room is a private place, so go away because I am going back to sleep."

"Yes that was the agreement we made. Damn your grandfather for giving his vast fortune to you. But that is not why I came to get you. Your father needs to speak with you."

"If he is going to try to convince me to go not go against Voldemort he is wasting his time."

"I believe he is through try to convince you to do that. I was lead to believe that he is going to talk with you about how you will keep your secret from the dark lord."

"Fine I will be down I a few minutes. Now leave."

A few months ago Draco was shown the sheer ignorance of all his beliefs. He had been 'in love' with a muggle. Of course he hadn't realized she was a muggle until after he got to know her, but when he did find out he could not see the sense in leaving her because she wasn't a witch. When that happened Draco began to question all the beliefs he was raised with. He questioned everything he had ever been taught. Draco realized that he didn't hate muggles and that he didn't want to follow Voldemort. He also realized that he never was physically attracted to the muggle that he had been 'in love' with. Or any other girl for that matter. He told his father all of those things and more. Lucius was perturbed to say the least.

However, as angry as Lucius was he couldn't do anything to Draco. You see Draco's grandfather loved Draco dearly and despised Lucius as well as Narcissa. When Draco was five his grandfather passed away, leaving his entire fortune to Draco. Since Draco was a minor though his parents were to tend to the money until Draco reached the age of seventeen. The only reason that Lucius and Narcissa had money was because they were using the money that Draco had received. And the manor they were staying in also belonged to Draco. As did everything in the manor.

There was no way around this for Draco's parents. If they disowned Draco ( like they had wanted to.) they lost the money and the house. If they killed Draco (like they wanted to.) they lost everything as well. The money and house would then go to a randomly chosen wizarding family. They had come to an agreement. Draco could act however he wanted to by privately, but when he made public appearances he must be the Malfoy he was raised to be. They decided that public appearances did not include how he acted around his peers, but Draco had to censor himself somewhat in their presence.

Draco finished getting dressed and walked down to see his father. Without knocking Draco opened the door. Lucius was sitting at his desk turned to the side. On the floor on the side of the desk there were a pair of feet, bottom up. Lucius's eyes widened for a moment before he quickly regained his composure.

"Thank you Bethany. I will call you again the next time I need my shoes shined" The tall red-headed maid stood up and brushed off her skirt, not that there was much material to brush off. That's what happens when Lucius is put in charge to uniforms.

Before the maid could walk out of the room Draco pointed the side of his mouth and said, "You missed some."

"Knock before you enter my room."

"Actually this is my room and as you told me before I educated myself on the true ownership of this house, 'This is my house I will knock if I want to.'. Now what did you so rudely wake me up for."

"We need to discuss how we are going to hide your betrayal."

"You cannot betray someone you were never loyal to."

"We are not have that argument right now. The fact is you have to make him think otherwise, because if you don't than he will kill you and neither of us want that. You plan to befriend the Granger girl and her friends correct?"

"I planned on befriending Granger and Potter. Why?"

"Well I think what would be best is if you try to befriend Potter before school is in session and you tell the dark lord that you are doing it to acquire information. '

"If I hear anything I will not tell you." Draco said angrily.

"No you misunderstand me. The information you give us does not have to be real."

"I see."

"We have Potter's address, I want you to go today. Now go get ready."

"Fine." Draco stood up and walked out, as soon as the door shut a smile spread across Lucius's face.

"My lord will be very pleased and Draco has no idea what's coming."
