Chapter 2: Friends

Everyone sat in shock. Draco in Gryffindor? He hated Gryffindor, or so everyone thought. He longed to be in Gryffindor and happily got off the stool and walked to the Gryffindor table. He sat down and everyone looked at him. He felt nervous under everyone's stare. He looked at the Head Table and tried to look he didn't notice everyone staring at him.

"Well Mr. Malfoy I hope you enjoy staying at your new house and I hope everyone treats you kindly. If not, come to me. Now that all the sorting is done you may begin feasting!" Dumbledore said and sat down with the other teachers. Draco saw the food appear and luckily everyone stopped looking him. He piled food onto his plate and began eating.

Harry froze in his seat. Malfoy a Gryffindor. It was impossible. It couldn't be real. This had to be a dream. Draco Malfoy was a Slytherin. Harry was so confused. Harry stood up.

"Harry, where are you going?" Hermione asked him. Harry didn't answer her and walked out of the Great Hall.

Draco saw Harry walk out and leave. He finished eating and ran out to find Harry. He saw him about to walk through the portrait hole.

"Potter! Potter! Wait!" Draco yelled out. Harry stopped and looked at him.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" he asked.

"I wanted to apologize to you. For the way I treated you in the past. I treated you badly and no one deserves that. I am very sorry." he said. Harry was shocked. Draco Malfoy

apologizing. He didn't think that day would come. He realized Malfoy had changed.

"I own you an apology too. I was cruel to you and I am very sorry." he said and afterward he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. All his hatred gone.

"Potter, I would like us to be friends." he said and held out his hand. He was afraid he would not except it like he did in first year. Harry hesitated. He may not have hated Malfoy but he didn't know if he wanted to be his friend. Malfoy just continue to hold his hand out. 'I think he is serious' Harry thought. Harry shook his hand.

"I'll be your friend, Malfoy." he said and walked through the portrait hole. 'I hope I don't regret this. But it seems he has changed' he thought and went to his dorm room. He flopped down on is bed and thought about his summer. He went to the Burrow as usual and found out that Hermione and Ron were together. He was happy for them but longed for someone too. He never had a girlfriend. Sure, he went out on a date with Cho Chang in 5th year but he frankly got annoyed with her. He sighed. He had been through so much. Sirius dying, fighting Voldemort 5 times, not ever knowing his parents. Why couldn't he have someone? He had his friends but they didn't feel the space in his heart. He had so many empty spaces in his heart. He wanted them filled.
