Hi, my name is Draco Malfoy. I may be 11 years old but my life is pretty tough. To prove it, imagine that you are born to Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. You are born to be a follower of You-know-who. But then something happens to change all that.
Let me start from the beginning.
It all began when I got my Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry acceptance letter.
"Mom! Honestly, I can do my own shopping" I said annoyed.
"You are never to old-" my mother began before my father cut in.
"Stop whining, you incompetent fool!" he said before turning away.
The smirk that was once on my face dropped instantly and I looked at my mom's apologetic expression.
I followed them silently through Madame Malkins, Ollivanders and Borgin and Burkes waiting to go home.
Once I go there I walked up to my room, locked the door and cried. My father never was a fan of having a kid. He just married my mother for more money. It always was my mom who stood by me and I always thanked her for that. I cried till I fell asleep.
I was awoken by my mother telling me to get up or I'd miss the train.
I happily got out of bed and packed my things.
Before leaving, I took one look at the house, sighed and I shut the door behind me taking a deep breath and anticipated the moment I would step on the train.
The ride from the Malfoy Manor to the King cross station was long and I spent my time mostly talking to my mother and promising to write to her the second I got to Hogwarts. I was quite surprised when my father spoke to me.
"I suppose you know that you must be in Slytherin?" my father said.
I turned towards him and mumbled, "Yes, father".
The rest of the ride to the station was pretty quiet the rest of the way and when the car came to a stop my mother hugged me teary eyed and my father gave me a awkward pat on the back and I exited the car.
Dobby gave me my trunk and I charged to the wall between 9 and 10 and I stared at the sight before me.
There were children and parents everywhere but the thing that caught my eye was the sleek black and red train with the words Hogwarts Express engraved into the front of the train.
Suddenly, the whistle blew and the children began to board the train.
As I was boarding the train I heard a group of people gossiping about how the legendary Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts!
Of course I didn't believe any of that rubbish.
I searched through the entire train until I found a cart full of nice enough looking people. There was a girl with curly brown hair, light skin and deep almond shaped eyes. Then there was a boy with red hair, light skin, freckles and blue eyes. Lastly there was a boy with dark brown hair, glasses, light skin and emerald green eyes.
The second I opened the cart door all of their heads turned towards me and I could feel my face getting warm.
Stop it! I told my brain, out of all the times now you decide to get all fuzzy!
"Hi" I said weakly, my stomach turning into knots.
I suppose the girl saw that and she motioned me over with a smile.
"Hello!" she replied with a welcoming tone. I like her already I thought.
"I'm Hermoine Granger," she continued on, "that's Ron Weasley," she said pointing to the ginger, "And that's... Harry Potter" she finished pointing to the brown haired boy.
My eyes went up to the size of dinner plates. Merlin! The rumor is true!
Harry began a conversation and it was surprisingly easily to reply.
We were talking for a while when the train stopped.
We filed out into the Great Hall ready for the sorting hat.
I was taken aback when the sorting hat sang its song. And when it was finished Professor McGonagall began saying the names. I sort of dazed out until I heard my name.
"Draco Malfoy!" I stepped cautiously towards the hat, put it on my head and sat down.
Hmm... A lot of courage it whispered. And a thirst to prove yourself... Oh! I know!
"GRYFFINDOR!"
