(A/N: woohoo Chapter 2 so far Its not TOO bad. lol)
Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Ginny all walked into the Great Hall. They were the last of the people coming in before the first years. Hermione glanced around the hall searching for the new Defense against the Dark arts teacher. Her gazed, instead, stopped at the Slytherin table. She felt a nagging sort of feeling, she couldn't place it. Then suddenly it hit her. Someone was missing. 'Who is it?!' she yelled at her mind. Then it clicked.
"Malfoy" she said out loud.
"Huh?" said Ron. He had been staring at the teachers table.
"Nothing." Hermione replied, but she kept her eyes locked on the empty seat.
The first years filled into the Great Hall, whispering excitedly. Hermione noticed that there were far less of them then usual. But she couldn't blame the parents, who would want to send their child away when they might not come back? The sorting was shorter because of the lack of first years, and it wasn't long before everyone was eating and talking happily. Everyone was so preoccupied with their food, that no one noticed that along with Malfoy, Prof. Snape and Dumbledore were also missing.

" Mr. Malfoy.........Mr. Malfoy...." A voice was begging Draco urgently to wake up from his nap on the train. Draco woke up slowly. sitting up and trying to clear his vision. Prof. Snape and Dumbledore were standing in front of him.
"What? Huh?" Draco muttered incoherently.
"Mr. Malfoy, please come with us." Dumbledore said. Suddenly they were all in what had to be a teacher's office. A bird in the corner squawked and Draco immediatly reconized it as a pheonix. He had always wanted one every since he was a boy, but his father had dismissed the idea as being stupid and childish. Draco was staring at the pheonix so hard that he did not notice Prof. Dumbledore come up behind him.
"I see you have found Fawkes." Dumbledore said. Draco gave a small jump.
"Yes, its beautiful." 'did I just say something was beautiful?!'
"Well, im sorry, but we have more pressing issues to address." Dumbledore said. "please, sit down." He motioned to a chair in front of his desk. Draco took a seat and Snape sat in the chair next him. Dumbledore made his way around his desk and sat in the tall chair behind it.
"We have brought you here to tell you some very grave news." Dumbledore said. His expression was not the usual happy one.
"Draco." Snape cut in. " It's your mother, she died this afternoon." Draco didn't know what to do. He just sat there, staring at Dumbledore like he had sprouted ten extra heads.
" It....it can't be t-true." He finally stammered. "But I just saw her this morning, she was fine....." His disbelief began to turn to hate. He jumped out of his chair. " WHAT HAPPENED?!" He yelled.
"She was found dead in Malfoy Manor when your father came back from business." Snape said. "She was killed by the killing curse" He added said weakly.
"BUT WHY?! SHE NEVER DID ANYTHING TO DESERVE THIS! IF ANYONE SHOULD BE KILLED IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MY SON OF A BITCH FATHER!" Draco yelled.
"Mr. Malfoy, we understand this is very hard for you, would you like to stay here in my office during the feast and sorting ceremony?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes." Draco said
"Ok." Snape said. "The sorting ceremony should be ending about now, i'm sorry but Prof. Dumbledore and I must go...."
"Go ahead." Draco muttered. The two Professors made their way towards the Great Hall, leaving Draco to sit in the chair and stare at the wall. It was true that his mother was not the brightest woman to grace earth, but she loved him. Her love had been the only love he had ever recieved. Draco sat thinking about everything for awhile, and then he did something very unMalfoyish, he cried. He wasn't sobbing, but silent tears flowed down his cheeks. And for the millionth time in his life, he felt truly alone.
