September : Train

Draco was early for the Hogwarts Express, having had arranged for his father to drop him off several hours ahead of time. Now, although his robes and luggage were on Platform 9-and-3/4, he was not.

Taking this rare opportunity to indulge in his favourite and highly secret pastime, he'd slipped through the barrier, and was even now looking for all the world like an ordinary teenage boy skulking about the station. Quiet and contemplative, leaning against the wall, he observed the Muggles board their trains. He eavesdropped on their conversations. He took in everything, noting all the detail, with a curious thoughtfulness.

Draco adored people-watching.
