Chapter 2:
I held my hands out hand they were red with blood, I looked around, I was in a bare room at one end was a body slumped underneath it, I moved towards the body. I knelt next to it and touched it, I could see that there was a gash where the ear should have been. I looked around to find a trapdoor, there was on by the other wall, I walked towards it and wrenched open the door. As I was going down it I tripped and fell
I woke up to sunlight pouring in. I was sweating, I looked at the cloak beside me it was only 6:30, I decided that there was no point in going back to bed so I went to go and get changed when there was a knock on my bedroom door,
"Come in" I said and a house elf came in
"Mistress Malfoy wants you to go down to breakfast, once you are changed sir" it squeaked.
"What's your name?" I asked
"Dobby sir" Dobby replied before bowing and leaving the room, I smiled, there was nothing better to do than to wake up Draco. I got dressed and realized that today was my birthday. I'm 11 now. I walked across to the bathroom and I washed my face before filling up a water tank, I silently crept over to Draco's room and opened the door, to my relief he was still asleep. I crept up to his bed and poured the water on him, I ran to his cupboard and ran inside it as Draco got angry, unfortunately as soon as I hid Dobby turned up, Draco saw Dobby instead of me, Draco got out of bed and saw the water tank beside Dobby, Draco took Dobby by his ears and took him downstairs, I hurried out after him, as I reached the kitchen, Draco was just explaining to his father what Dobby had supposedly done, I stepped forward, and Draco turned to see me come in,
"Did you see what this house elf do to me?" he asked as Lucius took the house elf downstairs to the cellar, I ran after him to Draco's surprise,
"Mr. Malfoy wait please let me explain" I shouted and Lucius turned around,
"What do you mean Damien?" he asked and I stopped running
"It wasn't the Dobby, who poured water all over Draco, it was me" I replied and Lucius eyes turned cold
"YOUR LYING, YOUR STICKING UP FOR THIS PIECE OF FILTH!" Lucius spat and I winced at the words "Piece of filth" but that didn't go unnoticed, he dropped Dobby, who Lucius dismissed, but instead grabbed me by my collar and manhandled me into the cellar, he took out his wand and slashed it diagonally, and I screamed out in pain but nobody heard me because there was a charm on the cellar, so nobody could hear what was going on in the cellar. I felt like there was fire on my face, I looked up to see that Lucius had disappeared upstairs, I stumbled up, and Draco caught me as I collapsed.
I woke up and found myself lying on my bed, it was 9 o'clock, and I shot off bed and grabbed my trunk and started to take it downstairs. I left it beside Draco's. I found all of the Malfoy's sitting around the table, they all looked up when I entered. Lucius gave cold stares as I sat down in front of my breakfast, he really hates me. I finished and excused myself and walked up stairs to get my other stuff for the train. After at least 10 minutes my door opened and Draco came in, now fully dressed.
"I heard that you were the one who poured water all over me, is that true?" he asked and I nodded
"The house elf was just there at the wrong time that's all" I replied and he nodded
"What's that scar on your face that runs from one side of your face to the top of your eye?" he asked and I found myself looking at my mirror, he was right, the was a scar, it must have been when Luicus striked him with his wand.
"Nothing, lets get going to King's Cross" I said and I picked up my bag that lay on the bed,and walked out of the room, Draco followed me and we soon fond ourselves loading our bags and trunks into the car, which took us to King's cross and we ran into the barrier between platforms 9 & 10.
The train was amazing, it was the best train that I have ever seen in my life. The porter took our bags and trunks and loaded them onto the train.
"Damein, Draco wait a sec!" shouted Narcrissa, and we stopped, she preduced two owls in cages, one ws an eagle and one was a beautiful owl with white wings. she asked us to chose a bird and I chose the eagle, which was grey, with red eyes. She nodded before putting them on the train with the rest of our stuff. As we boarded the train, Draco seperated to go with his croonies, Crabbe and Goyle who were both dumb bouncers really. I found an empty, carriage, well it wasn't empty when the train started to ove becuase two boys opened the carriage door,
"Do you mind, if we sit with you?" a boy with black shaggy hair and green eyes asked and I nodded
"Sure" I replied and they sat next to each other opposite me. I sat with my back to the fron tof the train and so that I was travelling backwards. The other boy, with blonde hair and black highlights spoke,
"What's your name?"
"Damien Luicus Riddle" I replied and the other boy's nodded
"Well any way my name, is James Potter, and this is my brother Harry" the blonde boy asked, he had blue eyes
"Oh the Potter's sons" I said nodding
"Yes, they died trying to protect, our brother who is also called Damien" the boy called Harry said and I nodded.
After what seemed 10 minutes a boy with red hair, popped his head around the door,
"Can I join you, everywhere else is full?" he asked and we all nodded
"Thanks my name is Ron, Ron Weasley" the red head said and we nodded "What's yours?"
"My name is James Potter and this is my brother Harry" James said and Harry nodded
"So your the boys' who servived when your brother was taken and your mum and dad were killed" Ron asked and James and Harry nodded their head. "And yours?"
I hesistated, I knew the Weasley's very well. "My name is Damien" I finally replied and he nodded before turning to the others
"What house do you think you'll be in?" asked Ron
"Well our parents were in Gryffindor, but I have the brains of a Hufflepuff" replied James
"I want to be in Gryffindor, just like our parents" Harry said and Ron nodded before looking at me, I shrugged
"Slytherin" I replied knowing what exactly my father would have said if I was in any other house but Slytherin. Ron looked at me curiously, before the trolley lady came. I looked out of the window thinking about my father.
We arrived at Hogsmeade and as we got off, the Potter brothers and Ron, stayed by me, and I noticed Draco looking at me and I just shrugged and carried on walking, to the boats
"First years over here please, All First years follow me thank you" shouted a calm voice. We got into the boats, in one boat was James, Harry, Ron and me. The boats travelled on their own, and before we knew it we arrived at Hogwarts. A stern witch was waiting for us at the top of the stairs. I stopped when I reached her and everyone esle folloed my example.
"Beyond these doors, will be your class mates but before you join them, you will be sorted into one of the fours houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin. please wait here and I will be back for you in a minute." she said before turning away. A few silent minutes she returned, with a roll of parchment, she waved us forward and we followed her into the Great Hall. We reached the Sorting Hat, and the stern witch, unrolled the parchment and called the first name:
"Abbot Hannah"
A shy girl stepped forward and put on the hat.
"Hufflepuff" it said and she stepped off the stool and joined the Hufflepuffs who were cheering
"Bones Susan" another stepped forward and onto the stool
"HUFFLEPUFF" it shouted again
"Granger Hermonie" and girl with bushy hair came forward and tried on the hat
"RAVENCLAW" and she seemed to have relaxed before joining the Ravenclaws
"Potter James" and James stepped forward, and put on the hat
"Well your hard you have bravery as a lion but you're cunning as a serpant, o well i know where you belong, SLYTHERIN" and James jumped off the stool to join the Slytherins who were cheering really loudly,
"Potter Harry" and Harry stepped forward
"I know where you belong somewhere where your parents have never been before, or a Potter for that matter of fact...HUFFLEPUFF" and Harry jumped of the stool to join Susan who patted his back as he sat down.
"Malfoy Draco" and Draco went up to the stool, the hat wasn't even on his head before it shouted
"SLYTHERIN" and DRaco smiled before joing James.
"Riddle Damien" I looked up it was my turn, I walked up to the stool, knowing that every pair of eyes were looking at him, he noticed Dumboldore's eyes narrow, he smailed, he loved it when Dumboldore was suspious of him, he sat down and the hat was placed apon his head.
"Ah a Riddle, the last Riddle eh, nobody knows your past not even the Headmaster, or your brothers at that, I will place you in the one place your father would like you to go in...SLYTHERIN" and I jumped down with the hat's saying stuck in his head "nobody knows your past not even the Headmaster or your brothers at that". I sat next to James and he smiled
"What was that all about?" he asked and Draco nodded
"What do you mean what was that all about?" I replied
"What the hat said" James asked
"Nothing don't worry" I replied before settling into my food.
Once I had finished making sure that I had enough, I joined the rest of the first years to the Slytherin common room, James and I went straight for our beds, we were next each other, and Draco was on the other side of me
"Hey Damien, guess what" James said
"What" I replied
"You remind me of my brother that disappered, you look exactly like him. Bare in mind, we've been living with muggles since our parents died." he said as James and I got into bed
"Oh that's nice good night James" I said before turning over and trying to sleep
"Good night Damien" James replied before snoring away.
I'm sorry for Harry Potter bieng in Hufflepuff and Hermonie bieng in Ravenclaw, I just wanted a change and what house should Ron be in although I haven't slotted him in the sorting please tell me.
R&R thanks
