" Well Draco you know that we need to get to Potter before he tries to kill the Dark Lord, but with all the protection he has in and around the castle when you all go back to school it is impossible for any of us to get near him." Lucius said staring at his son Draco just looked at him waiting. "We thought that you should befriend Potter and his Friends get into their circle and show that you want to be with them and not a Death Eater but in reality you are just trying to get Potter somewhere so we can Kill him." Looking at his father in total shock Draco finally said " sure father what ever you need I am up to doing I will go in and start to be friends with someone close to him first because he would never trust me with out one of them trusting me first" To his surprise his father looked rather pleased with what Draco had just said patted him on the back and said " Ok everyone Draco will notify me when he has came into Potters circle and we will inform him where and when he needs to bring Potter every one in agreement" and with that everyone left the room leaving just Draco and his father.

"I didn't think that you would agree to doing this so quickly, but I am glad that you did. Didn't want to have to punish you for making me look like a fool" Draco just nodded to his father and waited for him to let him go and when he did Draco went right out of the dungeons and up to his room. Draco was looking out the window when his bedroom door opened and his mother walked in. " Draco dear you leave in the morning for Hogwarts A day early yes but the head boy and girl have to go early this year they modified the head room and wanted to make sure it was fine with the two of you before the rest of the kids arrived." she said but continued " The head girl is Hermione Granger so you should start with your fathers task tomorrow and try to get into the circle of that friendship as soon as you can so your father don't get angry" giving her son a hug and walking out the room. "oh great" he thought " having to go a day early is fine but having to go a day early and share a room with Granger is not good, I have to befriend a mud-blood oh what am I saying she is a brilliant witch and I should of known this would happen anyway just keep the task on mind and get it done and over with"

The next morning Draco woke up before everyone else and went down stairs with his cases and placed them at the door in the foyer. He walked around for awhile till his father called him into the library. Grabbing a hold of his sons shoulder really hard Lucius said "Now Draco I heard you didn't want to be a Death Eater and I am hoping that this is not true, because if it was true I would not be happy" as he brought his other had down and smacked Draco across the face. "Father please no I never said that, of course I want to be a Death Either, I want to serve the Dark Lord just like you father." Lucius smacked Draco ever harder across the face Draco thinking "shit I am going to have a black eye later need to hide this from everyone shit" " You better hope that is what you are thinking of doing because if I find out you just lied to me you wont have to worry about the Dark Lord getting you I will kill you my self" with that Lucius walked away and Narcissa ran into the room picking her son up off the floor.

" I don't know who told him that but you have to watch out who you talk to about these things because they will get back to your father and I wont be able to stop him from coming to the school, Draco I wish I could I really do but I cant." She said while she held on to her son. Draco looked up at his mother pitying her thinking "if you wanted to save me mother you would but you don't want to leave this comfortable life style of money and power" He didn't dare say this out loud to his mother she is the only one in his life to ever show any type of love towards him and he didn't want to loose that but he know that Blaise went to his father, Blaise the one who is supposed to be his greatest ally at school just betrayed his trust to run off to his father to show he can be trusted as a Death Eater.

Draco grabbed his cases and went out the door to catch the bus at the station, platform nine and three quarters for the Hogwarts Express to take him and Hermione Granger to the school a day early. He was dreading seeing her, he didn't know where to start to try and get into that tight circle of friends. He only agreed with his father so he wouldn't get beat again especially since his father would have done worse in front of all those Death Eaters to show he was in control and wasn't going to be made a fool of. Draco hated his life, hated every aspect of his life. He got on the bus and sat in a compartment because they were all empty he didn't think anything of it and feel fast asleep waiting for the train to start moving and get to the school.
