The life of Madeline Malfoy- The only Gryffindor Malfoy
The first Chapter- New Beginnings
"Goodbye, Mother, goodbye, Father" chorused Madeline as she swung one leg over her brother's Nimbus 2001. Draco did the same as she shrunk Madeline's and his own trunks and dropped them into his robe pocket. "I bid you goodbye, Mother and Father" stated Draco, solemnly and kicked off from the ground.
Soon they where off, through the clouds heading to Kings Cross Train Station to catch the Hogwarts Express. For Madeline, this was her very first year in Hogwarts but you wouldn't be surprised if she was a Beauxbâtons student. She had silvery blond hair which was now plaited into two neat braids and her face had a soft side to it but with the usual Malfoy look to it. But her most elegant feature was her metallic turquoise eyes which were added with thick long eyelashes that gave her a quite cute look.
In a while, Draco spotted the station and started to head downwards and landed softly. He shrunk his broom and dropped it into his pocket and fished out Madeline's trunk. "There, go find some friends but if you need me I'll be in the carriage with Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise and Pansy, okay?" Draco said to his only sister with a soft tone to his voice. In real life, he did care a whole lot about his sister but as a Malfoy he was too prudent to admit that directly.
Draco had run through to Platform 9 3/4 to his friends to leave Madeline nervously at the wall. With a heave of pure courage she ran through the wall to find herself on the platform. She looked around to see many wizards and witches around her age saying goodbye to their parents before boarding the grand steam train.
Madeline just swished her cloak Malfoy-style and boarded the scarlet train with her nose high. She peeked through the small windows in the doors of each compartment; curiously, she saw a few Slytherins and familiar faces included her father's-much-hated Harry Potter but Madeline wasn't the person that judged people on other's opinions. Soon she found a empty compartment, Madeline was used to being alone or being away from other girls' company.
Madeline found a book and tucked her feet under herself and right away she was fully absorbed into the story.
"Umm. Could we sit here?" asked a strangely familiar red-head girl who was accompanied by a blond girl who too looked familiar.
"Sure.", Madeline replied quietly glancing from her book, "I'm Madeline Malfoy, Draco's younger sister. I'm in my first year."
The two friends exchanged nervous and angry looks before introducing themselves as Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood in their third year. Madeline noticed the uncomfortable tone in their voices so returned to the comfort of her book. In a bit, the train slowed down to stop and you could hear the loud thunder of Hagrid yelling "First Years! First Years to me!"
Ginny and Luna left with a quick "See you around" from Ginny. With a deep sigh, Madeline picked herself up and dragged herself off the train towards the great-big figure called Hagrid. Once Hagrid gathered all of the first years he lead them to about a hundred small row boats floating on the water facing the grand castle of Hogwarts.
Quickly she found a boat with Violet Brown and Alice Chang which both had a brother or sister already in their fifth year like Draco. They were also a bit cold towards her but much warmer than Ginny and Luna. They found that she was nothing like a death eater but actually caring and nice towards them, even if they were muggle born or half blood. By the time they arrived at the doors of the castle, they were strong friends.
From there Professor McGonall took over to take them for the Feast and the Sorting Hat.
"The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The sorting is a very important ceremony because your own house will be like a family at school. You'll share your common room, dormitories and classes with the same house." Announced Professor McGonall to the first graders when they arrived at the door. "The Houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin and each house has produced many famous witches and wizards. So your achievements and mistakes with are paid with house points. I hope you are a credit to which ever house you are placed into by the Sorting Hat."
The doors swung open showing the four long tables of students and high table with the Professors sitting. The ceiling wasn't visible, only a stormy sky, decorated with lit candles. Dumbledore announced the sorting ceremony and the sorting began. Violet was first to be put into Gryffindor causing a polite applaud. Soon it was Madeline's turn.
"Malfoy, Madeline."
Madeline quickly ran up to the stool with a flick of a braid and the raggy hat was placed on her head. "Ssss- no, you are rather smart and brave too. But better to put you in-! "
