Author's notes: Hi everyone! This is Sammy Malfoy and this is my first fan
fiction that I've actually posted. So please be gentle. If your wondering
where I get my name from, it was given to me by a friend of mine who felt I
possess many of the Slytherin qualities, also I'm absolutely in head over
heels for Tom Felton, but we won't go into that! Keep an eye out because
I'm planing to write another HP fan fic. Anyway this fan fiction starts in
the Weasley's house during the summer holidays. I will tell you now that
there will be a whole new character that I have made up, joining Hogwarts.
So I hope you like my first chapter, please review after you've read it,

Chapter 1: Another Average Summer.
Harry woke up to the sound of Mrs Weasley scattering around getting breakfast ready. Harry had made a deal with Professor Dumbledore the previous year that he would spend a week with the Dursleys and spend the rest of the summer holidays with the Weasleys. So this morning, being his 15th birthday, it was the first time in his whole life that he was actually looking forward to his birthday. When Harry stood up from his mattress on the floor he was surprised to find that the bright orange room of Ron's was minus, one Ron. Ron for the first time since Harry had gotten there was up before him. Harry took off his pyjamas and pulled on his trousers and a shirt and opened the door to the hall. As Harry walked down the hall and into the kitchen he couldn't understand why it was empty also.
I'm sure I heard Molly down here a minute ago, Harry thought but then, from the garden, he heard the sound of a blaspheming gnome and he decided he'd go and investigate. He stepped out the kitchen door and there was the whole Weasley family including Bill and Charlie who had obviously gotten time off from work to visit.
"Happy Birthday Harry" cheered the red haired mob when they saw him emerge from the house. Mrs Weasley gestured to Harry to come over and he obeyed. When Harry reached her he could see a large table covered by a maroon tablecloth. On it sat two small vases full of flowers, 10 sets of plates, knives, forks and glasses and in the centre a large cake with 'Happy 15th Birthday Harry' written on it with maroon and yellow icing and the image of a lion was roaring on the top of it. "Harry, sit next to me" said Ginny.
Ginny had changed quite a lot since the first time he'd meet her at the entrance to platform 9 and ¾. She'd been acting very odd this summer and Harry had a feeling that it was because she still liked him. Harry didn't like her though, even though she had a good body now she was still Ron's little sister and she was by no means Cho Chang. So after exchanging an amused look with Ron he placed himself between Ron and Ginny.
"Happy Birthday Harry" said Charlie.
"Thanks Charlie" Harry said with a polite smile, "How's the dragon business?"
"It's fine, although we had to collect another dragon from Hagrid last week, he smuggled it into the school after buying it from a man down at the 'Three Broomsticks'. Poor bloke, broke down crying when we took it from his arms. I haven't seen a grown man cry so freely before in my life," Charlie said shaking his head remembering the sight. Harry and Ron felt their insides twist as they tried to restrain themselves from laughing at the image in their heads.
"Hagrid was crying!" Fred said with a quickly growing grin on his face.
"Hysterically and it isn't a laughing matter, Fred. He was broken hearted." Charlie said defensively.
With this Ron, Harry, Fred and George burst out laughing.
"What is so funny exactly?" Mrs Weasley said stubbornly.
"Sorry mum!" Ron said.
"Yes sorry Mrs Weasley, we shouldn't be laughing" Harry said surpressing a smile.
"I don't understand you boys at all," Molly said shaking her head.
"Oh come on mum, you've seen Hagrid, it's just amusing, when you think of a man of Hagrid's stature being such a softie for, animals." George said with a sudden sense of composure.
"If you could call half the things Hagrid loves animals," Ron whispered to Harry.
It was then that the subject changed from Hagrid to saving the cake from the disastrous landing of Errol, the Weasley's owl. He was soon joined by two more owls that looked like Hogwarts owls.
"It's our Hogwarts letters," Ginny said excitedly.
"And it looks like a few packages for you Harry" Mr Weasley said.
After opening a package from Hagrid, Hermione and Sirius (putting Sirius' letter in his trouser pocket to read later), he began opening the gifts that the Weasley's had for him. After opening all his gifts they all settled down to eat. Mrs Weasley really had out done herself today. Cereals, scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, fruits and vegetables, puddings and everything else you could think of was there.
"Come on Harry it's time to cut your cake," announced Mrs Weasley.
Everyone stood up and sang happy birthday to Harry. He blew out the candles and made the first incision.
"Thank you everyone" Harry said politely. Then everyone made to leave the table.
"Plenty left for a little morning tea don't you think love?" Mr Weasley said nudging Molly lightly in the side as she started clearing the table.
Ron helped Harry take his presents up to their bedroom and put them in Harry's trunk.
"I got a letter from Sirius" Harry told Ron as he pulled out the slightly crumbled envelope.
"What's he got to say for himself!" Ron said jokingly.
After a quick smirk at Ron, Harry opened the envelope and unfolded the letter:
Dear Harry, Happy Birthday. I hope that you are enjoying yourself. Professor Dumbledore has given me a secret residence on the school grounds so I'm closer to you. He is trying his hardest to found a way to clear my name. Harry I must tell you, I was walking around the halls at Hogwarts when I heard some voices, Prof. McGonagall and Prof. Dumbledore, speaking of a new student joining the school. Professor McGonagall was sounding quite un-easy about the whole situation. So just keep a watchful eye when you get back. Anyway I must go. Sirius
"Who do you think it is?" Ron asked Harry with his usual puzzled look.
"I don't know but by the sounds of it Professor McGonagall isn't too keen on them." Harry said.
"Come on, let's go play some Quidditch," Ron said whilst picking up his broomstick.
Harry grabbed his Firebolt and together they headed out to the garden.
"Fancy a game, Charlie?" Ron said.
"Why not! Though it's been awhile, I'm not sure I remember all the rules" Charlie said with a sly grin.
"Sure" chimed the twins as they hoped on their broomsticks, clubs in hand.
Ron and Harry soon followed. Harry loved the feel of flying. It was good staying at the Weasley's as he was free to do normal wizard things. A few hours later Mrs Weasley was calling them in for lunch and telling them that they would be going to Diagon Alley that afternoon so that they'd better scrub up after lunch. Within an hour after lunch the Weasleys and Harry were lined up in front of the fireplace. When it was Harry's turn he said Diagon Alley as clear as could be and before he knew it he was there.
"Ok boys, off you go but I want you back he by four" Arthur told them sternly.
"Great that gives us 3 hours," Ron said. "I've got 20 gold bullions and I want to spend them all."
Harry and Ron made for the ice cream parlour where Harry had spent a lot of time during the summer holidays before his third year.
"Harry! Ron!" came a voice from behind them. It was Hermione.
"Hi Herms!" said Ron.
"Hi Hermione, how was your summer?" Harry replied.
"It was fantastic! I finally got a chance to re-read over all my old text books," she said with a smile.
"Book worm," Ron said teasingly.
Hermione gave him a small grin and turned to Harry.
"Why weren't you at the Dursley's?" she asked curiously.
"I told you before we left that I don't have to stay there for the whole holidays anymore," he reminded her with a bit of annoyance in his voice. He knew that all she was thinking about on the way home from Hogwarts was Viktor Krum.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot," she said shamefully.
"Sure you did," Ron said playfully.
With that the three set off. After wondering around Diagon Alley, looking in what felt like every shop, they came upon the entrance to Knockturn Alley.
"Come on Harry, let's go to Flourish and Blotts," Hermione said with a quiver in her voice.
"What's the matter Hermione, I've been down here before, it's not that bad," Harry lied. He knew how scared he was when he was in there last.
"Yeah come on Herms, your not scared are you?" Ron added.
"Of course I'm not," she said defensively as she pushed past them and led the way.
The three came up to a shop that Harry knew of, Borgin and Burkes. As they walked past the shop front they heard the sound of giggling coming from behind and old empty shop. Curiosity took over them and they went to see who it was. It was Draco Malfoy and a girl that Harry had never seen before. She was nearly as tall as Draco with reddish-blonde hair and Draco had her pinned between him and the wall.
"What are you three doing down here?" he said with a sting of annoyance in his voice.
"We could easily ask you the same question but it's pretty obvious," Hermione snapped back.
With that Draco made over to Hermione. He stopped practically an inch away from her.
"I'm surprised you have the guts to even breath around me, muggle," he said with a sly grin.
"Leave her alone Malfoy!" Harry stepped in.
Draco smiled and backed off a bit. The mystery girl, who had been standing alone by the wall up until now, had walked her way over and wrapped her arm around Draco's waist who casually slide his arm around hers. She was now staring at Harry with the brightest blue eyes, they were cold and full of hatred.
"Oh. Let me introduce you to." but Draco was cut off when the low voice of Hagrid surprised them all.
"What do you think yer doin'?" Hagrid bellowed.
"Hagrid," Ron said.
"Ah, we were just looking around and we got lost," Harry lied.
"Come on," Hagrid said before turning. When Hagrid was out of hearing range Harry turned to Malfoy.
"Go on Potter, you wouldn't want to have people thinking your delving into the dark arts now would you?" Malfoy said with the same sly smile as before.
Harry didn't speak he just glared at Malfoy and turned to leave. Ron and Hermione followed. As the three walked away they could hear the two laughing behind them.
"What were you three doin down there?" Hagrid asked sternly.
"We were just looking around Hagrid," Hermione said. Harry could tell by the sound in her voice she was upset by Malfoy's remark.
"You three shouldn't be wanderin round there," Hagrid continued.
"We're sorry Hagrid, we won't do it again," Harry said.
"Make sure yer don't, now off yer go," Hagrid said gesturing them towards Flourish and Blotts.
When the three made it there, they found the rest of the Weasleys waiting inside.
"Ah, there you three are," Molly said with a sound of relief.
"What kept you?" Arthur asked curiously.
"Just lost track of time, that's all Dad," Ron replied.
The group, now complete again headed for the Leaky Cauldron where they all had some butter beer before saying goodbye to Hermione and leaving for home. That night Harry and the Weasleys all went to bed early, trunks packed and cloths ready for the next morning.
"Harry," Ron said quietly.
"Yeah Ron," Harry said drousilly.
"Do you think that that girl Malfoy was with is the new student Sirius was talking about?" Ron said in a whisper.
"It's possible I guess," Harry said while pondering the thought in his head.
"Hmm, all well, good night," Ron thoughtfully as he rolled over.
"Yeah, goodnight Ron," Harry replied. Harry, deep in thought, fell asleep.
"Wake up Ron! Wake up Harry!" Mrs Weasley trumpeted from Ron's bedroom door.
The two quickly changed into their shirts and trousers and then grabbed the handles to their trunks and made for the kitchen. When they got there it was basically full of trunks all patiently waiting to be packed into the ministry cars that Arthur had borrowed to convey everyone to the station. Once everyone was packed into the cars they left and within half an hour the troops were unpacking the cars again and loading their trunks onto trolleys. After getting through the barrier with no problems they unloaded their trunks into the train and went to say good bye to Mr and Mrs Weasley.
"Thanks for having me over again," Harry said with a smile. "It was our pleasure," Mr Weasley said whilst patting Harry on the shoulder. "We're looking forward to having you over next summer," he added.
After many hugs, hand shakes, good byes and smiles, Harry, Ron, the twins and Ginny were all inside the train finding sits. Harry and Ron came across a cabin where they found, Neville Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas and Hermione all sitting around playing exploding snap. After saying their hellos, they all began going into great details about each other's summers. Before any of them knew it they were pulling into Hogsmede station and hoping aboard the carriages that would take them up to the steps of Hogwarts.
"Hello again," Draco snide.
"Draco, still alive?" Ron snapped back.
With that they separated and made for their tables. As soon as the whole school was seated the doors opened and the new first years walked in, nervously anticipating what was coming.
"I have few start of term notices that I'd like to announce," as Dumbledore continued he was soon cut off as the attention of the school suddenly turned to the doors that had just re-opened and there stood the mystery girl from Knockturn Alley. The whole school went silent and was staying at this late arrival. She strided down the hall towards the teacher's table as she did she glance at Harry and gave him a sly smile similar to Malfoy's. Harry thought to himself, 'is that inherited the minute you became involved with a Malfoy?' Once she reached the head table, the whole school struggled to hear what was being said between her and Dumbledore. But they all gave up when they saw Dumbledore gesture for her to join the first years.
"Professor McGonagall will begin the sorting ceremony," Dumbledore stated.
"When I call your name, you will come and sit on this stole, the sorting hat will be put on your head and you will be sorted into your houses," Professor McGonagall declared.
"Cassandra Graham,"
"Hmmm, Hufflepuff!" shouted the sorting hat as one little first year ran over to their table, quite relieved. Harry couldn't take his eyes off the mystery girl, who was she?
"Gryffindor!" The sorting hat shouted as another first year ran to their table. Professor McGonalgall, paused for a moment, she looked worried. Then she said it,
"Tabitha Riddle"
Sorry to leave it there guys but it's just the way it goes! I hope you liked it. Could you please review, I'd really like to know your thoughts about the story and how it's going. I'll have the next chapter ready in a week or two. See ya then! Sammy Malfoy (
