"Draco Malfoy." He answered as he shook my hand. There was a sparkle in his eyes that said 'I'm sure you know who my father is.' The only issue was that I did. We shook for a moments, long enough for me to figure out what to say next. Just before I could say anything Draco continued. "So who's that weirdo you came with?" He pointed at Norkas. I looked over at Norkas who was at the back by the door, adding some firewhiskey to his pumpkin juice.

"That's Norkas. He's an Auror from the ministry of magic. He's kind of a social worker for me."

"What's a social worker?" asked Draco's heavy built friend with curly topped hair

How thick are these people?

"What?" Draco's friend said puzzlingly. He had heard what I had said.

"Nothing." I abruptly replied with a cough. His suspicious looks quickly left.

"This is Gregory." Draco he noted as he set his hand on his heavy built friend. Draco then turned to his much larger, rounder friend on his other side who was sneaking on a plentiful of buns. Draco knocked a bun out of his friend's hand. "This is Vincent." Vincent's face was covered in sadness as he nodded at me. The girl sitting next to me was staring at me from the corner of my eye. Her eyes would click from me to Draco then back, to indicate she wished for an introduction. "Oh yes. And this is Pansy."

"Charmed." I said as I gently shook her hand. "So what should I do now?"

"Well first we eat." Pansy explained. I looked across the empty table.

"Let the feast begin." Said Dumbledore in the distance. Suddenly a large roast chicken appeared in front of me. I was taken back so much that I nearly fell backwards off my chair. My new acquaintances laughed at me and I could help laughing as well. Once settled I back into my seat I used a quick hovering charm to lift the knife to cut me a slice of the chicken. I raised my finger and cast it. The slice was cut and set on my plate but as I began to eat Draco and his friends were glaring at me, what had I done wrong? I looked up at Draco, he was grinning

"What did I do?" I nervously asked.

"You didn't use a wand at all there." Pansy said excitedly.

"You must be pretty talented." Said Draco, still with his grin. My mouth was full of food so I just shrugged, I wasn't a gloater, I just knew a few tricks. Draco's grin was kept getting bigger. Dinner went on and I sat quietly for most of it. I sat and listened the others chatting, they chatted about their summers and events that had happened last year, I felt really left out. One person kept coming up in conversation, Harry Potter whoever that was.

"Who's Harry Potter?" I requested. Pansy got a sick look in her face just from hearing the name.

"Potter is a sad little wimp who everyone thinks is great." Draco pointed out.

You should hangout with Harry.

"Really? Which one is he?" I asked as I turned to view the rest of the students. Draco's gang looked for him.

"He isn't here." Draco stated.

"Neither is Weasley." Gregory added.

"Typical Weasley. Useless." Draco laughed. The others joined in laughing, I didn't do anything.

"That mudblood is here though." Pansy pointed out.

"Mudblood?" I queried.

"You're joking right." She replied in awe. I didn't say anything, didn't know what to say.

"Someone who has muggle parents." Draco explained with a tone that told me this was common knowledge. "They're scum."

Charlie. Don't say a word.

"Are you ok?" said a slightly concerned Pansy.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" I responded at I looked around at them all. I could look her (or anyone for that matter) in the eyes and say it. Draco and Pansy gave me a suspicious look

"Its just that you went really pale." She looked over at the others who shared the concern. "And you keep mumble to yourself."

"Do I?" I tried to act surprised. "Its just first day anxiety." Their suspicious looks continued.

Moments later everyone began to leave and I followed with haste. As I moved with the crowd I saw Norkas signally me to come to him. I slipped away and met him at the back.

"So Slytherin." He spoke.

"Yeah Slytherin." I answered cheerfully, oblivious to the house's reputation.

"Just, try stay out of trouble."

"Me. Trouble. Never." I jokingly said. He returned an amused smile.

"Here, this is your house uniform." Norkas produced a bag with the uniform from behind him. "I'll be back next week to check up on you. Think you can last that long." He smiled as he rest his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah I'll be fine." I laughed.

After that I followed the other Slytherin students to their common room. I sat by myself for most of the evening, trying to avoid Draco and his gang, I couldn't think of an excuse for the mumbling to myself. As the even went on and it got later the common thinned in crowdedness. It was sometime around mid-night when the place was empty. I sat on the leather sofas by the fireplace and pondered. The more I the more it got me down. I bowed my head and then I heard his voice again.

Why so glum?

I lifted my head and I saw him, he was sitting on the sofa opposite me. He was wearing the full uniform, cloak and all, while I was still in my shirt. His thick brown hair was quavered and parted to the left, mine was messy. He sat charmingly while I slouched back lazily. In a way Xavier was the complete opposite on me. We even belonged in different houses but of course the hat would chose his house.

"What do you want?" I yeaned greatly. "I wanna go to bed."

I wanted to see how you felt the first day went?

"I guess it was ok. Though you nearly gave us away."

Hey you can't blame me. You're the central mind here.

"Well just don't insult people to their face next time." I rubbed my neck. "And what's all this stuff about mudbloods. Its pretty weird."

I know what you mean. As long as you don't mention that our parents aren't magic I think we should be fine.

"Still I'm sure not everyone is like that. We could try to get to know other people tomorrow."

Sounds like a plan. Just lets think about proper conversation. This wizard world is pretty weird. They don't even have social workers.

"I'm sure its because here they don't have domestic issues." We shared a brief laugh. Xavier clapped his hands together.

Right. I think its time for bed. Big day ahead. You have to try make some friends, a tough task for you I'm sure you'll agree.
