I stood next to Draco in Ollivanders wand shop. Lucius had given us each a small pouch of gold, I dont know why the Malfoys like me so much. Perhaps they think im a distant relative, I certainly could be mistaken for one. My skin is pale and my eyes are a shade of blue though they are brighter than Dracos, my hair is about the only thing that sets me apart It changes colour white in the summer and silver grey in the winter. I dont know why, I'm not albino at least I don't think I am. Anyway the wandmaker could not be seen, the shop was empty except for the two of us.
I watched Draco, his weak mind spoke to me. I learned of his friend whom would be joining him in slytherin. Yes Malfoy would join that house, Lucius had told him choice rested in the wearer in the end more so with Pure bloods. I hadn't thought much about the houses, each held an appeal despite what the Malfoys thought.
We watched each other a little more before the little bell above the wooden door sounded New arrivals. We turned on heel to face three girls, friends actual friends unlike Draco and I. Introductions were made, Malfoy the little shit brought up blood purity. It irks me every time it is mentioned for I know my mother was not magical and that I am a half blood and in the eyes of the minority I am worth little more than a muggleborn.
I linger to long on the idiocy that the Malfoys covet. we spent the rest of the day with these witches. Lisa the brown haired girl and Draco spent most of the afternoon glaring at one another, his distaste for her parantage ruined the chance of a possible ally. The black haired girl Nicky grew to like Draco as more than just a friend as the day went on, though I doubt it is Love it is something, something I fear might divide the three witches. Liz caught my eye, she is interesting and pure of heart, honest and kind. I admire her, she stands up for her beliefes, she punched Draco for being a prat. Yes I enjoy being around Elizabeth Martin, even more so since she bid me farewell and kissed me lightly on the cheek.
It was just after three o'clock when we returned to the manor, I left Draco for his families study. I was hungry, no not for food but for knowledge. I found myself in a corner with the old tomes piled high around me once more. If the house of snakes would not have me I would fit just fine with the ravens.
Dobby popped in, the little elf informed me that Diner was served and the Malfoys requested me to join them. I declined, I wish to avoid Lucius as much as possible. I did not tell Dobby that though, no I said to tell his masters I needed to continue with my studies lest the wrath of Professor Snape be incured. Dobby did not return anymore tonight, nor did any of the elves.
I think my hosts got the message.
