AN: Sorry for the one day late post. I was super busy yesterday. Also to the reviewer that mentioned Ravenclaws lack of heir, I apologize because Harry is indeed the heir and future lord. I just forgot to add it.
Anyway this chapter is in Draco's point of view and I like it. I hope that you guys like it to, so without further ado, I would like to introduce you to Chapter 4 of Dark Court!

Chapter 4: Another Day In Draco Land
Draco Malfoy was always calm and collected. After all it was expected for the heir of Malfoy to be not only quick and precise, but also graceful and intelligent.
He was to be the representation of everything people wanted in life, and sneer down at those who wanted him.
He was blessed with good looks and had money to boot, so in his mind he had a very good reason to be arrogant.
So when people accost him for being arrogant and pompous, he sneers down at them with disdain very clearly etched on his features.
After all if you want the heir of Malfoy to pay you any mind, then you need to have three things.
1)Wealth
2)Looks
3) Interest
It was simple really. For if you had none of the things listed then you simply weren't worth his time.
So if all of these things were the criteria, would you perhaps be able to tell Draco why he was so entranced with this green eyed boy? Oh your right!
It was because the boy was not only stunningly beautiful with his petite size and raven hair that framed his face adorably, but also because he turned out to be the mysterious Boy Who Lived that Draco's heard about for his entire life.
Can you now see exactly why Draco has been stunned into silent disbelief, despite the fact that he's the prestigious Malfoy Heir that was supposed to be graceful at ALL times?
How did he come across the boy wonder you ask? Well it was simple really.
His friends and himself went out for a day out of the manor, and something caught Draco's deep silver eyes.
Knowing that he just had to have it, Draco branched off from his friends and bought the item that caught his fancy.
It was a beautiful journal that had green vines wrapped around it. It was a very dark black, and had a snake etched into it on the front cover. The snake had stunning emerald eyes, and seemed to slither across the book at random intervals.
He was so infatuated with his new purchase, that he didn't realize that he wondered into Knockturn Alley.
This lack of attention turned out to be a grievous mistake, and ended up with him being accosted by two…two….well if he was honest with himself, he would use the word hooligans to describe them.
They were two gangster wanabees that had been apparently reading too much wrong information on muggles.
Ugh…even the mention of those creatures made him want to shiver in distaste.
Anyway, one of the rather stupid boys decided that he didn't like Draco's lack of reaction to their presence, and punched him right in the face.
Now you can see why Draco would get angry. After all the face of a Malfoy is there life, and to mess one up, would be like putting there life in the balance.
Draco couldn't have that now could he?
So with as much grace as fighting like two rampaging muggles would allow, Draco jumped into the fight with vigor, and indulged the two idiots.
Now despite the hair pulling that one might expect from a fight with Draco, there was no such thing in this fight.
Draco eagerly punched, kicked, and shredded his enemies with his fist, legs, and rather sharp nails.
In the end however, the two ruffians managed to get a hit on his delicate shoulder, and knocked it out of socket.
Draco let out a pained hiss, and knew he was at a great disadvantage.
He backed up into his back hit the wall of a shop, and knew that he was in trouble now.
Ruffian number one, as he decided to call him, pulled their hand back and was just about to smash it into Draco's face when suddenly a loud thump was heard, and the boy fell rather unceremoniously to the ground.
The other followed shortly after because like the idiot he was, he instead opted to sit in shock rather than turn around to face his new enemy.
Now with both idiots down for the count, Draco was left to gape at the green eyed intruder, who had a bloody pipe in his hand.
Despite the smudges of blood that was on the pipe, Draco could clearly see the picture of innocence the other made.
He wanted, no he needed, to have this beautiful creature around him.
It was just now way that he could allow the boy to get away from him. So with this in mind, he closed his still gaping mouth, and instead took on the usual air that he displayed around others.
"Thank you Mr…" He trailed off, knowing that he didn't have the mysterious teens name.
"Harry Potter, but you can call me Harry." The boy's voice was soft and melodic, but Draco didn't miss the slightly cruel undertone that was hidden skillfully under the words.
The boy was dangerous, but he was still growing into his dangerousness. It was weird yet at the same time captivated.
However, the name the boy uttered finally clicked in Draco's mind, and he realized with a start that he was talking to the Harry Potter. The one that was known as the Boy-Who-Lived, and was the heir to the house of potter among other things.
Draco knew that the boy could be a potential ally, so with this in mind, he chose his next words carefully.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Harry. My name is Draco Malfoy, heir to the house of Malfoy. You may call me Draco." His voice, while smooth, had just the right amount of seductiveness and arrogance. They both clashed silently, and were designed to leave an impression on any who heard it, however he was surprised when instead of becoming infatuated, the boy instead raised an eyebrow up.
How DARE this boy be amused?!
Draco truthfully didn't know whether to be infuriated or fascinated, and it grated on his nerves.
Deciding that it was best to go with the latter, Draco smiled charmingly.
"Well Harry in honor of helping me, would you like to go the café down the street?" While frustrated, he knew that the boy was someone he needed to get along with. After all the house of Malfoy is known for its powerful allies.
Harry politely nodded his head, and the two boys made their way towards the café, Rosa Angelique.
The waiter seated them, and then took their orders. Quickly leaving them once again to go check them in.
They were in a comfortable silence, until they're meal came, and Draco decided to break it.
After all, it would do some good to learn about the mysterious Harry Potter.
"So, what house at Hogwarts do you think your going to get in?" The question was actually a good one because Draco didn't want to associate with a Gryffindor and if he had too, it would be best to know before hand.
However upon seeing Harry's confused look, Draco tilted his head to the side in unveiled curiosity.
"You don't know about Hogwarts do you?" Upon receiving a nod to his question, Draco looked at Harry with disbelieving eyes before quickly masking them.
"Ravenclaw are for those who value knowledge above all else, Hufflepuff are for those who are loyal, Slytherin for those who are cunning, and Gryffindor stands for the brave. Upon entering the school we are sorted to a house, and we live there for the next seven years." Draco informed swiftly, yet gently.
He understood that it was a lot to take in, given the fact that you were basically being judged on your character.
Harry however, developed a pensive expression and spoke so softly Draco thought that if he hadn't been listening for it, he would have never heard it.
"Slytherin is definitely my house." The softly spoken words for some reason sent a shiver through Draco's spine, and he couldn't help but wonder what gave Harry the confidence that he was going to be in Slytherin.
After all the boy who lived was supposed to be brave and ridiculously light…right?
However, soon enough Draco will learn that Harry Potter isn't light, and never will be.
He will learn that The Boy Who Lived never exist, and the teen in front of him was so cruel and dark, that it was terrifying yet delectably fascinating.
For Harry Potter is not as he appears.
AN: How was it? I think I got Draco's personality down, but i'm not to sure. Anyway how would you guys feel about a crime fic for Tom/Harry?
