Harry
We sat through the sorting, then ate at the feast. Ron, Hermione and I all went to our common room. We talked about what had happened since we had last seen each other. After that Hermione went to her dorm and Ron and I went to ours.
I couldn't sleep all night and I kept waking up every hour. Ron seemed to be having the same problem." Hey, Ron having trouble sleeping?" I inquired.
" Yeah, you?" he asked.
" Yup, I keep waking up every hour. How 'bout you," I told him.
" Dunno but I had the strangest dream. The whole school decided to put mutant spiders in the porridge. Then the spiders got out and put you and Malfoy in jail. You both died of starvation and then the spiders turned into You-Know-Who. He laughed his head off because Harry Potter had come to an end." Ron quickly told me.
" Weird," I commented.
" But then I woke up and had a second dream. I dreamed spiders came to our school and were eating everybody!" Ron finished.
" That is even weirder. You sure have a lot of spider dreams. I don't even remember what I dreamed." I told him.
Ron and I talked about dreams for awhile and then went to sleep.
" Wake up Harry, you missed breakfast and it's almost time for charms."
I opened my eyes and put my glasses on. Ron was standing over me. What was the fun of school if I had to work on an empty stomach? I hurried and got dressed and went to charms. It was soooo boring. I decided to talk to Ron." Hey Ron what do you think Sirius and Narcissa or should I say mom and dad are doing?"
He was about to answer when Hedwig swooped in. " Hedwig!" I cried out.
She was going to cause me to get in trouble. I guess she had been trying to find me so she could give me my mail. This was just great. The day I miss breakfast people decide to owl me. I took out a letter and decided to read it.
I guess Professor Flitwick doesn't notice what goes on in his classroom. My letter read:
Hey Harry,
How are you doing? Are you and Draco getting along? I sure hope so. Don't get used to rarely getting mail. You'll be getting mail a little more often now.
Love,
Sirius (Dad)
" Cool," I said but there was another letter:
Hi Harry,
The sweets are from me. Please try to get along with Draco. Write to me at least once a week if you can. You're going to get more sweets next week. Got to go.
Love,
Narcissa (Mum)
I looked around. I saw no sweets. I had two guesses to where they had gone. Either Hedwig had eaten them or Malfoy didn't get any so he decided to steal mine when he saw Hedwig." Potter! Please pay attention in class. Some of this stuff will be on your finals," Flitwick exclaimed.
I looked at him as if he had half a brain. I had been not paying attention the whole time and he just now said something?
Then Flitwick decided he would dismiss the class and force me to go to Potions class. How rude of him. I slowly walked to potions and when I got there I saw Malfoy was already there. He was frowning and it looked like some older Ravenclaws were making fun of him. I had been in the room for five seconds when they left. I noticed they were holding a paper.

DRACO
Older Ravenclaws really bug me. Just because their older doesn't mean they should pick on you. They were making fun of me because I, or should I say mum, made the front-page news in The Daily Prophet.
The article read:
Malfoy's Torn to Pieces; Narcissa Marries Old Flame. By: Zelda Zimmerman
About a month ago Lucius Malfoy was turned crazy by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Narcissa, his wife, decided to put him in an asylum and divorced him.
She then married Sirius Black who's name had been cleared for not more than 2 weeks. Sirius and Narcissa had a history together it turns out. " They dated for three years at Hogwarts," reported Rose Clearwater a classmate of Narcissa's. Rose told us that in their 6th year Narcissa broke up with him over a gift. She then dated Lucius who she married. While in that marriage she had a son, Draco whom is 15 and starting his fifth year at Hogwarts. Sirius on the other hand has a godson who happens to be the famous Harry Potter. Sirius and Narcissa are in the process of adopting the two children. They are expected to become brothers by Christmas. Sources: Rose Clearwater and other classmates.
I felt my face redden. I was not a child. Teenagers shouldn't be called children. I don't like Zen-Zed-whatever her name is. From now on her name is Z-Z. I hate reporters all they do is dig their noses where they don't belong.
Just then Snape stormed in and grabbed The Daily Prophet right out of my hands. " Thanks Malfoy for today's news."
I quickly sat down. I looked around and saw The-Rude-One looking scared. " About a month ago Lucius Malfoy was turned crazy- well we all know that don't we?" Snape asked rhetorically.
" She then married Sirius Black- now what possessed her to do that? First of all he's butt ugly and another thing he's a convicted murderer. She was right when she dumped him in her 6th year." Snape commented dryly.
I'll spare you the rest of potions. He went on like that until he made fun of the entire article. I think he hated ZZ and I don't blame him one bit. She's probably dead ugly. By the end of class The Rude One's face was as red as Ron's hair. Personally I think that's a good look for him.
That afternoon my Eagle owl came with bad tidings. He brought me The Daily Prophet courtesy of mum and Sirius. It was Today's edition too. I'll bet 10 to one mum was proud to finally make the news. She probably just loved the article. Well, guess what? I didn't, in fact I hated it. I should tell her that. On my way to my common room I ran into the Terrible Twins." Well, if it isn't Lucius' son Draco Malfoy!" said Fred or George.
I'm not quite sure which one it was." Heh, what are you doing? Looking for money down here? I doubt you'll find it. You better go before a teacher comes. You just might find yourself with a detention," I retorted.
" Like we care, and were trying to break the record. We're getting awfully close too." The other twin said.

HARRY
Hedwig swooped in while I was doing my homework. My parents wrote letters and unfortunately gave me the daily prophet. They were probably proud that they made the front-page news. Attached to today's daily prophet was a letter from Sirius. It read:
Harry,
Have you checked out the daily prophet yet? Bet you loved it if you have. If you haven't, you and Draco made front-page news. Cool huh? Enjoy your Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans.
Sirius (Dad)
This was just plain Hogwarts humiliation. They thought I would just love The Daily Prophet. Well, they were totally wrong. Mr. and Mrs. Black probably want the whole world to know Draco and I are about to become brothers.
I went down to supper that night and scanned the Slytherin table for Malfoy. He wasn't there. I guess he had eaten too many sweets. Serves him right for eating mine.
On my way to my common room a 7th year Ravenclaw stopped me. I think she was with a group of Malfoy- Gryffindor haters." Well, if it isn't Harry Potter-Black. I hope they make you switch houses since you're going to be related to Malfoy now." She remarked.
I quickly ran out and went to my common room. There was only one slight problem. I was so angry with that Ravenclaw girl that I had forgotten the password. Just my luck, we had gotten new passwords today and I had forgotten the new one. I was beginning to feel like Neville Longbottom. I decided to just say a password and see if it was right." Uh, Godric Gryffindor?"
" Nope, sorry," the fat lady said.
Ugh, she could've just let me in. She knows I'm in Gryffindor. I was about to find Ron when Neville came running up. " Hey, Harry. Just the person I'm looking for." He said.
Uh oh, that wasn't a good sign. Especially since today was my bad day. " I seem to have forgotten the new password." Neville finished.
Just then I remembered the password. It was the first two words of our school motto. " Draco Dormiens," I told Neville.
As soon as I said that the fat lady let us in. About two minutes later Ron came in. " Hi, Harry!" He said.
As we went up to our dorms I said," Today has been torture."
" Well, Harry if I made the news like you did and Snape made fun of me. It would be torture," Ron replied.
" Snape just does it for the fun of it. Just ignore him. Harry you really should start getting along with Draco," Hermione commented.
Ugh, her and getting along with Draco. What was she, in the Draco fan club? " Uh, do you have a crush on Draco or something?" I asked her.
I had had my suspicions about this ever since I told her that Sirius and Narcissa were getting married. " Uh… Um…No!" She cried enraged.
When I looked at her closely though I saw her cheeks go pink. SHE WAS BLUSHING!
