Chapter 1 - The Sorting Hat (Draco's POV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was back on the Hogwarts Express. The summer went as fast as it came. Crabbe and Goyle sat across from me with the normal look on their face, of complete boredom and stupidity. Our car was completely silent and empty. I heard Potter, Weasley, and the mudblood Granger talking behind the door in the next compartment. I doubted any of their conversations were interesting.
"Draco!" shrieked a voice from the other side. I heard a bunch of giggling girls, and I knew right away that it was Pansy. She was under the strange idea that I was attracted to her and that we were a couple, which I found extremely annoying.
"What?" I asked drearily.
She jumped onto the seat next to me. "I missed you so much!" She threw her arms over my shoulders and I quickly shook to get her off of me. "How come you didn't reply to any of my letters, Draco? Oh no, maybe you didn't get them! I guess I need a new owl..."
She continued talking but I didn't listen. Luckily she started hanging around her friends in the next compartment. Alex and Will came in.
"Hey Draco, what's up?" They asked, already dressed in their Slytherin robes.
"Ah, nothing." I replied, staring out the window.
"That Pansy still bugging you?" Alex asked.
"More than ever," I said.
"Did you hear about the new girl? She's a few compartments ahead, she's real pretty," Will said.
I was usually the first to hear about these things, but this time I wasn't. I shook my head.
"She's from America, and she's real smart, but she's born from muggles."
"Good lord, another mudblood?" I said, obviously aggravated they were informing me of someone I would most likely hate.
"Come off it, Will," Alex said. "You know how Draco feels about their kind."
The train came to a halt. We got off the train and almost got knocked over by a bunch of first years. "Gits," I muttered.
We made our way into the castle and to the Slytherin common room, where I quickly changed into my school robes.
The Great Hall was already packed with students. I felt something hit my on the shoulder. It was that red-haired Weasley. "Watch it, Weasley," I said. As usual, all he did was turn bright red. I sat down at the Slytherin table, as Crabbe and Goyle sat next to me in case I was attacked by Pansy, who sat across from me with her giggling friends. Dumbledore stood and everyone went silent at once, as he made his usual speeches about curfews and Quidditch. The big oaf, a.k.a. Hagrid, made his way through the double doors with the first years. As anyone would have thought, they were shaking and their eyes were bugging out. Followed by the first years was Professor McGonagall and a fairly short girl with very dark brown hair which was tied in a knot, she was wearing muggle clothing, a pair of flared black pants and a dark blue sweater turtleneck, and a silver robe over it. She is so pretty, I thought right away. But then it dawned to me that that must have been the new girl Alex and Will had been talking about, the mudblood from America. I quickly stopped staring at her and turned back to the sorting hat, which sat on a stool in front of the first years and sang it's stupid song.
Professor McGonagall called out the names of all of them, and heard constant cries of "HUFFLEPUFF!", "SLYTHERIN!", "RAVENCLAW!", and the one I hated most, "GRYFFINDOR!". The four long tables cheered on and on, and finally it was the new girl's turn, and McGonagall had introduced her. "This is Shannon Walker, she will be joining the sixth years." I saw many of the boys' faces glow at the sight of her, all with hope in their eyes, even Weasley and Potter. She sat on the stool and put the sorting hat on, closing her eyes tightly, she was obviously nervous. Everyone waited patiently as the sorting hat mumbled to itself. "SLYTHERIN!" It yelled, startling many. Many looked surprised, yet the whole table of Slytherin cheered in approval, and she sat at the end of the table, eyes wide. McGonagall handed her the normal green and silver Slytherin robes and scarves, and she put her robe over her sweater. I quickly got out of my state of staring at her when the food appeared on our plates. I ate quickly, as hoping to get back to the common room. I got up quietly, in hoping Pansy wouldn't notice, and Crabbe and Goyle followed.
The common room was half full. Although I didn't notice her get up at dinner, Shannon Walker was already sitting on the couch, surrounded by a bunch of girls asking her questions. I sat at a far end of the room away from her, hoping she wouldn't notice me. I thought to myself, I was attracted to her. No, I couldn't be. She was a mudblood, for god's sake. It would be a disgrace to my father if he ever found out I was attracted to a mudblood. I really hated my father, for I couldn't make my own decisions without consulting him on everything, and the fact he was a death eater gave me the chills. He was probably expecting me to become one, but I didn't want to. Sure, I believed in having pure blood, but I didn't agree with killing muggles for no good reason.
A bunch of Slytherin boys came rushing up to Shannon-Walker-MUDBLOOD, hoping to shake her hand and introduce themselves. There were even seventh years coming up to her. I could hear her from here, she had a very obvious American accent, and sounded very out of place. All of a sudden I had the urge to walk up to her...
"Hey Draco," Alex and Will walked up to me, smirking. "You're staring at the new girl, aren't you?"
I tried my best to cover it up. "The mudblood is more like it, I can't believe all these guys that are goggling over her, like she's some kind of goddess,"
"But you must admit that she's pretty,"
"I'm not admitting anything." I said stiffly, wishing they would just leave me alone.
Alex whispered something to Will and they started laughing.
"What the hell are you laughing about?"
They shook their heads and ran off to introduce themselves to Walker. All of a sudden they started pointing at me as they talked to her, and she smiled as she looked at me. I forced myself not to smile back. I quickly turned the other way, as if trying to talk to someone, but no one was there. I wanted to turn around to see if they were still looking at me, but I didn't want to make a fool of myself. I was going to kill those gits, Alex and Will, I can just imagine them turning into little hamsters and throwing them against the ceiling...
"Draco, I can see you're having a very interesting conversation with the sleeping portrait, but we need to introduce you to someone..." It was Alex, and I knew who this 'someone' was. I could just leave now, and pretend she wasn't there, but she was so beautiful, being able to see her close up would be a treat...
I turned around, saw her looking down at me. Her eyes were deep brown and were sparkling slightly, and the moonlight coming into the room from the windows made her hair look shiny. She smiled, as if waiting for me to say something, but I was almost speechless...
I got up, and I realized I wasn't that much taller than her, and looked down at her.
"Alex, you git, what the hell are you doing? Introducing me to a dumb mudblood?" I said without thinking. I walked away and didn't look back. I could hear Alex and Will mumbling over and over, "Sorry, he's just being shy.". Just wait until they tell her what a mudblood is, I thought. And I wasn't being shy, that was the nicest thing I could say to someone like her. She just came to this school and all of a sudden she runs Slytherin! I grunted, and stomped up the stairs to my dormitory. I sat in bed, thinking to myself, thinking about Shannon, Stop calling her Shannon, you idiot! I said to myself over and over.
"What the hell was that?" I jumped upright to see Alex standing before me, looking furious. "Don't just yell at her like that, she didn't do anything to you, we were just being nice and introducing you to her, considering you were staring at her with such a look in your eyes-and besides, you'll have to endure the whole year with her!"
"Well, maybe next time you shouldn't introduce me to a filthy mudblood like her! I don't associate with them! Got it?" I added the same furious look to my face.
"Fine! Don't blame me if you never get a girlfriend! Stay with Pansy, for all I care!" He slammed the door behind him. Why was it his job to get me a girlfriend? Girls flooded over me, and I could have anyone I wanted. And right now, I didn't especially want that mudblood.
