The next morning Harry awoke to the sound of tapping at the window. Hedwig sat on the window ledge with the morning newspaper in her talons. The headline bore the big black words: THE DARK LORD KILLS AGAIN, ILLUSTRATED,illustrated with a picture of two dead bodies lay on a concrete floor. Malfoy walked over to the window and opened it to let the bird in. It landed on Harry's knees expecting a treat and a scratch behind the ear, but Harry merely took the paper and shrugged the owl away. Hedwig squawked angrily and flew away for food. Malfoy, still stood next to the window, said:
'Brilliant, isn't he? Malfoy said admiringly.
'Hedwig? But she's a female!' Harry said slightly confused.
'Not the bird you idiot! The Dark Lord! He's the greatest wizard ever! When I'm older I want to be his apprentice.' Malfoy stated.
'I'm sorry,' Harry said sheepishly. 'I'm new to the wizarding world; you'll have to fill me in.'
'The Dark Lord, Lord Voldemort! His aim in life was to be the greatest wizard alive. He single-handedly began to kill all the mud-bloods like Granger! And also he's wiping out the half-bloods! Only we pure-bloods will remain like it should be. If a wizard wishes to marry a Muggle, then they don't deserve to be a wizard. They don't deserve to be superior!'
Fifteen minutes later, when Malfoy had finished explaining about Lord Voldemort, they both went down to breakfast where they got there timetables for their first year.
They shared potions, herbology, defence against the dark arts and flying lessons with the Gryffindors.
'This should be a fun year! Come on; follow me to our potions room.' Malfoy said, and led Harry back down to the dungeons.
