DRACO MALFOY AND THE PERSECUTED YANK
chapter the first
It was a glorious spring morning at Hogwarts. The flowers were in bloom, bumble bees were buzzing around, stinging the less popular students, all was well.
(((EXCEPT!!!!))
"I have an important annoucement to announce", announced Dumbledore at breakfast.
The Hall swiftly fell silent, allowing Dumbledore to continue.
"We will be joined by a new student this afternoon. An American student by the name of...".
"Oh not another one!" came an angry voice.
"Who was that?", asked Dumbledore.
"It was i!". Draco stood up from his seat. "I don't think we should allow anymore Americans into this school! We've had so many over the last few years, it is getting ridiculous! Let's see now, we've had Mary-Sue Arbuckle, Gary-Stu Willkins, Buzz Gregory, Wilma Stone, Hans Moleman, Chris Columbus' thousands of offspring, Mary-Sue Arbuckle, and countless others!".
Murmurs of agreement sprang up from every table, and even a few of the teachers nodded.
"Well, nevertheless, the new student, Tiffany Brunswick, will be arriving at one o'clock...".
Angry sighs came from various directions, and Snape hit himself in the head and said "D'oh!".
"And", continued Dumbledore, not hearing the sighs because of his partial deafness, "I want everyone to give her a warm, Hogwarts welcome".
When everyone had finished breakfast, they all departed to their lessons.
That afternoon, at ten minutes to one, the school gathered in the entrance hall, ready to welcome Tiffany Brunswick, a ridiculously pretty girl from Alabama. Because she was so very special, and because she was allowed to start Hogwarts, even though it was against the many rules concerning new students, the sorting hat and stool had been set up in the Great Hall, ready to sort her into a house.
At five to one, a horseless carriage pulled up at the front of the school, and out stepped a slim, beautiful girl, with waist-length blonde hair. She smiled broadly, showing a mouthful of perfect straight white teeth, as she climbed the steps up to the main doors.
"Welcome! Welcome!", smiled Dumbledore, as she entered the entrance hall.
She smiled back, but, upon looking around at the rest of the students and teachers, her smile faded slightly, because it seemed that Dumbledore was the only person who was pleased to see her. Snape and Mcgonagall had exchanged dark glances at the sight of her, Draco, and indeed, the majority of the students were glowering at her, with their arms folded. Even jolly old Professor Flitwick looked like he could've kicked her in the shins.
Dumbledore led Tiffany into the Great Hall, and everyone followed, and sat down in their seats. Tiffany sat upon the stool and Mcgonagall begrudgingly placed the sorting hat on her blonde head, and stepped back.
"Ah!", spoke the hat. "Another yank, i see". It sighed. "Well, what should we do to you...oh, i mean, with you, what to do with you, with........I think, Slytherin!".
Suddenly a tumultuous roar of protest arose from the Slytherin table, whilst all the Professors, with the exception of Dumbledore, smirked and sneered at Snape, who now had his head in his hands.
"Now, now!", bellowed Dumbledore. "Silence!".
It took a while before the Slytherins heard Dumbledore, but slowly the angry voices hushed.
"Miss Brunswick will be put into Slytherin, as the hat said. I would appreciate it if someone was chosen to show her around the school, and help her settle in. Professor Snape, i'll assign someone and.....".
"Yes, yes!", said Snape irritably.
"Good, good", said Dumbledore, ignoring Snapes tone. "Everyone is now free to have the rest of day off".
The sound of exiting students filled the Hall.
"Why are they ALWAYS in Slytherin?", moaned Draco, as he, Crabbe and Goyle, got up from the table. "They never fit in! God, i hate them!".
"Malfoy". Snape called from behind the trio.
Draco turned around and saw Snape approaching them.
"Malfoy, Dumbledore thinks it would be best if.....".
Snape didn't have to finish for Draco to catch on.
"Oh no", he said with a dismissive laugh, "Not me. No way!".
"You have to", sighed Snape, who didn't seem to like the idea either. "You have been given the job of showing Miss Brunswick around".
Tears filled Snapes eyes. "I'm sorry Draco", he said. Then he ran off, unable to contain his sadness for a second longer.
Draco raised his hands to his face, and, just like in Home Alone, he screamed. "AHHHHHHHHHH".
