A/N: Harry and Draco never met in Diagon Alley!
Vega sprinted into her twin brother's room yelling and laughing,"Draco Malfoy, you get up right now, you lazy bastard!".
Draco ducked under his blankets and moaned,"Get out, brat! I'm trying to sleep."
Vega rolled her golden eyes,"I can bloody well see that. We're going to Hogwartds today."
"Really? I hadn't realized. You've only been badgering me about it since the beginning of time."
"Sarcasm's not a good look for you, Dray." Draco peeked his eyes out of the blanket and muttered, "Thought we agreed you wouldn't call me that."
"Nope,", Vega shook her head,"You agreed to that, not me."
"Same difference."
Vega grinned," VĂ¡manos child! We've got places to go!"
"You do realize that we have to eat breakfast, get dressed, and then wait for the slightly less awesome part of the family", Draco said.
"Oh, I forgot about them," she replied sullen for a moment,"Get up anyway. I need someone to keep me company."
Draco rolled his eyes but got up anyway. The twins got dressed rapidly in casual robes. Draco sprinted down the steps while Vega slid down the bannister whooping the entire way.
Draco skidded to a stop at the bottom of the staircase causing Vega to slam into his back. The slightly less awesome part of the family sat in the dining room glaring at the twins. Kronos, their older brother, smirked maliciously at them, and they glared back. The siblings were not the best of friends with their brother.
Lucius fixed his icy glare on the twins,"Hurry up and finish your breakfast, so we can leave. Get your things Kronos and meet me in my study.", he looked at the twins," I trust you two have your things packed."
Draco nodded and nudged Vega into her seat. Alone, they ate breakfast in silence before racing back up the stairs to get their trunks. When, they got back downstairs Lucius, Narcissa, and Kronos were waiting impatiently.
Lucius grabbed his sons' shoulders before apparating to King's Cross station. Narcissa squeezed Vega's shoulder and apparated after the rest of the family. The Malfoys navigated the train station and stopped in front of platforms 9 and 10.
Narcissa smiled gently at her eldest son," Just run through the wall darling,", she glared at the twins," Even you two couldn't mess this up."
Draco and Vega rolled their eyes on unison. Draco offered Vega his arm and they sprinted through the barrier trunks rolling behind them. When Narcissa walked through they raised their eyebrows at her which she answered with a frown.
The twins saluted their parents mockingly and stepped onto the train. Neither of them saw any reasons to stay with their parents any longer. Vega threw the door to a random compartment open and threw herself inside. She grinned at Draco who rolled his eyes again.
"Have you always rolled your eyes this much, or am I just unobservant?", Vega asked.
Draco smiled as he lifted their trunks up," You're just unobservant." He sat down and opened Hogwarts: A History, and turned to his younger sister. Vega was curled up asleep on the seat. Her black curls spilled out wildly, and her eyes were closed peacefully. Draco affectionately stroked her hair before settling down to read.
The trainride passed quickly. Draco reread Hogwarts: A History for the second time while Vega slept. She woke up when the conductor stated that they were in Hogsmeade. Vega blinked the sleepiness out if her eyes and yawned. Draco grinned at her and pulled her out of the compartment.
They joined the flow of students getting of the train at the station.
"First years over here!" Hagrid called. The twins followed him and jumped into a boat with two children they didn't know. Draco whispered into Vega's ear, "Bloody hell, Vega! That man must be a giant!" Vega nodded in agreement and opened her mouth to respond but quickly closed it when the castle came into view.
The school rose into the night sky, tall and proud. Draco's eyes widened in wonder at the castle. Everyone else had similar reactions. Mouths hung open and eyes bulged at the gothic school.
The boats pulled into the school and the children dismounted; some more cautiously than others. A rather pudgy boy by the name of Neville Longbottom almost fell into the lake. He was only saved by a bushy haired girl and a scruffy haired boy grabbing his arms and pulling him back onto the boat.
Once they had all left the boats safely, Hagrid led them to the castle. A stern looking witch greeted them at the door. She introduced herself as Professor Mcgonagall, and explained that they were to be sorted. At that Draco muttered under his breath,"If you read Hogwarts: A History at all, you would already know that."
The professor led them inside where they waited in a line. The doors of the Great Hall opened and several ghosts rushed in. The older students were obviously used to this but the first years backed away in fright. Some of the ghosts offered encouragement, but Vega had zoned out by then.
She jumped in shock however when a hat began to sing.
Oh you may not think me pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!
The Sorting Hat finished it's song and called for the first student.
"Abbott, Hannah!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Bones, Susan!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Boot, Terry!"
"Ravenclaw!"
"Brocklehurst, Mandy!"
"Ravenclaw!"
"Brown, Lavender!"
"Gryffindor!"
"Bulstrode, Millicent!"
"Slytherin!"
Draco turned to Vega." This is taking forever!" Vega nodded in agreement and turned back to the Sorting.
"Finch-Fletchley, Justin!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Granger, Hermione!"
"Gryffindor!"
The Sorting progressed like that and nothing eventful happened. The twins shufgled next to each other in impatient boredom.
"Malfoy, Draco!"
Vega squeezed his hand and Draco walked up the steps. Draco stepped onto the stool and let Mcgonagall put the hat onto his head.
