Dudley had finally made some real friends. Sure he was sorry that things didn't work out with Harry, but it wasn't his fault. He had made a huge effort and Harry just didn't want to be friends. He grinned as he followed Malfoy into their compartment. They all sat down and Malfoy bought a few goodies from the witch traveling through the hall, and distributed them among the four of them.
"Gee, thanks." Dudley said eating a chocolate frog.
"No problem," Malfoy said, "that's what friends are for. I'm Draco Malfoy, but I go by Malfoy. This is Crabbe and Goyle. So, what where you doing in there with Potty and his groupies in the first place?
"Oh, well, Harry's my cousin," Dudley said nonchalantly.
"Oh really," Malfoy said as a huge grin spread over his face, "So you would know all about his dirty secrets and how to pop his extremely inflated head?"
"I suppose so," Dudley said as he looked in amazement as the picture on the card he got from the chocolate frog began to wave.
" That's good. So have you thought about what house you want to be in?" Malfoy asked.
"What? Umm.. I'm not sure what you mean." Dudley said looking confused.
" Oh, Harry didn't explain. Go figure. He only cares about himself. Well, in Hogwart's there are four houses, kind of like four different schools inside one. There are Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor. Crabbe, Goyle, and myself are in Slytherin, that's the best house there is. The Sorting Hat picks what house you go into, but as long as you sort of tell it what house you want to be in, you usually always get in."
"Oh right, I read all about that in "Hogwart's, A history. I'm not sure which house I want to be in." Dudley said remembering.
" Well, you should be in Slytherin with all of us. Professor Snape is in charge and he's great. He loves all Slytherin's and hates Potter." Malfoy said grinning.
" Yeah, I guess. It sounds cool." Dudley said starting to grin as well.
"You know, I think you and I will hit it off real well. You're much smarter than Crabbe and Goyle so it wont' be as hard to explain everything to you." Malfoy said looking at Crabbe and Goyle with a slight sneer.
"Umm..right, thanks." Dudley said. They continued talking about different things about the school until the end of trip when they got out to get into the carriages.
"Well, there's obviously not enough room for all of us. Especially with you two lugs," Malfoy said looking at Crabbe and Goyle, "Dudley and I will go in this one, you two go in the one behind us." And they got into their carriages and made their way to the school.
"Gee, thanks." Dudley said eating a chocolate frog.
