A Dark Corridor
Chapter 1: The Wish
Draco glared up at his Transfiguration Professor. She was mad at him, again. He really hadn't meant to turn her desk into a cow, this time. Besides that how many 1st years could do that anyway? Then she raised her voice above a normal talking level.
Professor McGonagall noticed how when she raised her voice slightly, Draco tensed. But she was angry so she didn't care. She started shouting and he flinched. Now she realized that something was wrong. She cut off her triad and touched Draco's shoulder to ask why he had flinched, but he flinched away again. She took away her hand and absent-mindedly dismissed class early.
"I would like to speak to you Mister Malfoy." She said just before he walked out the door. He sighed but nodded all the same.
"Yes Professor? You wanted something?" He asked once they were in her privet office. She nodded looking at him with piercing blue eyes.
"Why did you flinch?" She asked getting straight to the point. He winced ever so slightly at the question.
"Professor, I've never liked human contact and I have over-sensitive hearing. It hurts when people raise their voices." He said. At least it wasn't a lie, but that wasn't the real reason he had flinched. Minerva sighed.
"You and Severus are just a little too much alike. If you 2 were the same age it'd probably be impossible to separate you." She said. There was a second meaning in her words, Draco knew this, but didn't know what to make of it.
Later that night Draco could be found looking out the window of the Astronomy tower. Thankfully today was Friday and he didn't have classes tomorrow. Then he saw something, a shooting star. He then did something that he believed he would never, ever do. He made a wish.
'I wish I knew what McGonagall meant, I wish I could have met Severus Snape when he was my age, (looooooooong hesitation) I wish I had a real friend.' Unknown to the now asleep 9-year-old, more powerful forces were now at work.
*****
SORRY IT'S SO SHORT!!!!!!!! It's just that I have to sleep sometime and I normally keep my 1st chapter extra short. Oh and Severus Snape, Shiloh Snape (OC), Remus Lupin, Rena Lupin (OC), Draco Malfoy, & Diana Malfoy (OC) are 2 years younger than everyone else! Well REVIEW SOON!!!!!!!!!
