After settling in to my new class mates and having established myself as a friend of Draco Malfoy along with being The-Boy-Who-Lived, I spent time talking with people. Through these conversations, I realized how big of a deal it really was for me to have been sorted into Slytherin from my fellow house-mates. What I did when I was a baby left many of these teenagers without parents or aunts or other relatives who are now suffering in prison.

Many of these students spent the majority of the year attempting to ignore me when not around those who belonged to other houses. I slowly built up a steady friendship with many of the Pureblood first years, Draco being the closest of them all. Our circle consisted of Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Gegory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe, and Millicent Bulstrode. I don't know why the two girls were included, though they stayed around us for the next seven years. Pansy followed Draco wherever he went and Millicent was dragged along whether she wanted it or not. It turns out, Millicent was head over heels for me and we tried dating but it never worked out because Pansy would drag her off to talk to Draco so I never had the chance to feel anything for her.

At the end of my first year, Voldemort returned. My housemates looked to me in fear that I would go back to how they had hear the rumors when they were growing up. The rest of the wizarding community looked to me as though I was supposed to just jump up, forget school, and save their lazy asses. One day, I surprised all of the school in the middle of lunch by saying, after Ron, his bucktooth girlfriend, and his oaf of a friend asked me to save them, that I was glad that Voldemort was back. I didn't hold anything against him and hope that he comes back to cleanse us of the muggle filth that has taken over the whole world.

Once word of this left the Great Hall, the whole world was abuzz with word that Harry Potter isn't going to save them. It would teach them a lesson in learning to protect their own sorry asses. I hadn't spoken only the truth, though. I did blame Voldemort for the situation in which he left me. I wouldn't have blamed him for anything if my mother's sister hadn't married an abusive piece of shit. He never struck my cousin but both my aunt and I were constantly being beaten by him and I know that this was Voldemort's fault. If he hadn't killed my parents, the world would have never brought Vernon Dursley, the beating walrus, into my life without him being punished.

I never went back to them. I spent all of my holidays with Draco for the next seven years and his parents became mine. Lucius and Narcissa are terrific people that I am proud to call my surrogate parent. Along with myself, the Malfoy family had gained one other permanent house guest by the end of my first year at Hogwarts. This second guest was Lord Voldemort. After my public statement of support for him, he sent a letter through Draco to me asking me if I truly felt that way and he and I formed a truce over time. It took a few weeks for him to believe me that I would not betray him until he finally just legilimized me and found what I had stated to be true.

I will always have resentment toward him for the situation that he placed me in with the abuse so he and I never really grew to be more than allies – I refused to be marked, flat out, so he had to be satisfied with me being his ally if anything at all.

Before, my relationship with Millicent was mentioned. Along with that one failing, Blaise and I tried dating and that one didn't work out very well…We ended up sleeping with each other off and on for several years instead. This was how I discovered that I was gay. It was also shortly around this time that I started having feelings for a particular potions master.

This marks the beginning of my 6th year at Hogwarts and I plan to not leave the school without having successfully captured the heart of the aforementioned professor. I know that I will most likely have very little luck but it is still a chance that I will somehow manage to steal my way in there.

A/N: Ack this chapter was so long! And look, it's double the length of my other chapters!

I'll give you cookies if you review and tell me if you like the time jump and summary. Too little? Too much? Lemme know so I can post another chapter soon!

Wait, no. I'll give you Skittles! And if you don't know Skittles then you will get Red Vines. If you don't know either of you that I am sorry for your sheltered life and will send you some of both.

That's all for now.

Just remember, the more you review, the more I will remember to sit down and update!
