Chapter 2
"Ahhhhh..........." Draco screamed as he sat straight up from his bed. Cold sweat trickled down his face as he wondered who the girl was in his dream.
"Who was she?" Draco asked himself as he tried to wipe away the sweat on his face with the sleeve of his pyjamas. He looked around the room like he was trying to find any clue to who the girl was.
Draco noticed that he was in his room that was full of shelfs of books and other objects against the walls, a desk that stood on the right of his bed that had a lamp and some books and papers on it. A small table was visible at the right of his bed with another lamp and a alarm clock on it.
Draco looked out the window at the left wall to him where it was close to the bathroom door, to see that it was still dark out. "It was only a dream? But it felt so real..." thought Draco.
Then Draco noticed that he was drenched in sweat and so he chose to put the thought of the dream away. He decided to call for his house elf, "Dotty! Come up here at once!" bellowed Draco.
Noises of small, scampering footsteps were heard climbing up the stairs and drawing nearer to his room. The door to his room opened and a house elf that resembled a female Dobby that was wearing a brown, potato sack, entered the room.
"Yes sir, Dotty is here, what do you wish for sir?" said Dotty as she was bowing down. "Go get my bath ready with some new clothes" Draco ordered.
"Sir would like a bath at this time sir? It is still very early in the morning and the sun still hasn't risen. Why don't you go have some more sleep sir?" replied Dotty as she continued to stay in the same bowed down position.
Draco looked at his alarm clock and noted that it was only 5 in the morning. "I don't care what time it is. I want a bath NOW! And I don't feel like sleeping anymore! Stop questioning my order and start getting my bath ready!" yelled Draco as he pointed to the bathroom door to his left.
"Dotty is bad for questioning master's orders, Dotty is bad" Dotty said, trembling as she hit her head against the book shelf beside her. Draco starred at Dotty with disgrace but yet he felt pity for her.
"Just don't stand there, start getting my bath ready!" Draco said, impatiently. Dotty stopped hitting her head and looked up at Draco "yes sir, right away sir!" exclaimed Dotty as she rushed to get some clothes from Draco's closet and she ran into the bathroom door in Draco's room.
Draco hopped out of his bed as Dotty came scurrying out of the bathroom door. "Sir, your bath is ready" said Dotty as she bowed down.
"Leave then, so I could take my bath and while your downstairs make me my breakfast" instructed Draco and Dotty dashed out of Draco's room.
The noise of Dotty's footsteps slowly disappeared as she descended down the stairs. "Sigh..... finally I could change now" Draco muttered to himself as he went into the bathroom.
After Draco's long bath and that he was finally changed into some new robes that was a made out of velvet and the colour of dashing scarlet. He walked out his room and climbed down the stairs to the dining room which had a elegant, long, rectangular table, with shelves of dishes and china against the walls.
He had noticed that the sun had finally came up outside as he starred at the window in the hallway. He sat himself on the table and called out for Dotty.
"Dotty! Where is my breakfast?" exclaimed Draco and he sighted the elf hurrying towards him carrying his breakfast. Dotty placed the plate of eggs and bacon with some toast and a cup of pumpkin juice.
She walked aside of Draco and bowed down. "Here is your breakfast sir" said Dotty. "Where's mother? Is she still blubbering about fathers death in her room?" asked Draco.
"No sir, she has finally went to sleep." answered Dotty as she straighten herself up to look at Draco. "Right....." Draco said with a mouthful of eggs.
"Sir, you are sure early for you first day back to Hogwarts, aren't you sir?" said Dotty as she continue to stare at Draco eating. "First day back to Hogwarts? Is it today? I almost forgot, Dotty go upstairs and pack up my stuff in my trunk and get Hannibal in her cage" ordered Draco.
"Yes sir" replied Dotty and she left clambering upstairs to pack Draco's things. Just then Draco remembered that he had a letter from Hogwarts letting him know that he was head boy which was no surprise to him.
He knew he would get to be head boy but he wondered who the head girl was, since he would be sharing a common room together and doing head duties together.
He just hoped it wasn't Pansy Parkinson. She was too annoying to be around with all the time. Just as Draco was listing all the people that could be head girl Dotty came into the dining room and as she spoke, Draco snapped out of his thoughts.
"I have finished packing your things sir, do you wish for anything else sir?" asked Dotty as she bowed down as usual. "I am done with my breakfast, put the dishes away and is it time to go to King Cross station at Platform 9¾?" asked Draco. "Not for another hour sir" answered Dotty.
"Well then wake up mother so she could get ready to take me to the station, she would probably take an hour to get ready anyway" Draco stated.
"Yes sir" Dotty replied and went upstairs into the master bedroom where his dad and mom slept but it was only his mother now.
Dotty rushed out of the room with her hands over her head as a pillow flew out of the door. Dotty clambered down stairs to Draco and said "Sir, Mrs. Malfoy says that she will not bring you to the station and that you would just have to apparate there by yourself since you are of age sir." Dotty started to breath heavily from running downstairs.
"What!? Why she......." but before Draco could finish his sentence Dotty interrupted, "Sir, I agree with Mrs. Malfoy. I think that Mrs. Malfoy needs to sleep more sir. Last night she couldn't sleep at all because she was crying again sir. Until late at night did she finally sleep sir" Dotty explained.
"Don't you dare interrupt me! I don't care if she didn't get any sleep at all! I still need her to accompany me to the station, it will be humiliating to show up on my own! WAKE HER UP THIS INSTANCE!" shouted the outraged Draco as he stood up.
But before Dotty could follow Draco's order his mother appeared at the top of the stair case wearing a elegant, white, silk robe.
"What is with all this racket! How am I suppose to get my sleep with all this noise!" exclaimed Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy.
"Well, well mother, I could see that you are up. Get ready to accompany me to the station in one hour" Draco told his mother.
"I will not accompany you to the station. I am too tired too and you could go by yourself!" Narcissa stated and with that she walked back into her room.
Draco had never argued with his mother so much before his father died but now it was all different. He would always have arguments with his mother every time they see each other.
"Oh fine! Stay up in that room if I care!" Draco shouted back at his mother.
Draco went into the living room and slumped down on a couch crossing his arms. "DOTTY! Get me the Daily Prophet!" Draco shouted and Dotty hurriedly came into the living room carrying the Daily Prophet in her hands. "Here it is sir" Dotty said extending here arms to Draco.
Draco grabbed the Daily Prophet out of her hands and said "Tell me when it is time to leave to the station" ordered Draco. Dotty bowed and said "Yes sir" as she nodded her head to show that she understood and then she left the living room to do the other chores.
After an hour has passed, Dotty came back into the living room and said "sir, it is time to go to the station, sir." Draco looked up from his Daily Prophet and started to fold it up and placing it on the couch.
"Very well then, Dotty you will come with me to carry my stuff to the station" Draco said as he stood up from the couch. "Yes sir" replied Dotty and off she went to get Draco's owl and trunk.
As Dotty came back trying to carry the trunk with the owl cage balancing on top of it. Draco saw that Dotty was struggling to with his things, and so he took out his wand and with a flick of it, he shouted "accio trunk, accio Hannibal" and the trunk flew up into the air with his owl Hannibal's cage on top of it and was coming towards Draco.
"Thank you sir!" Dotty exclaimed as she gave a grateful look at Draco. "Never mind. I decided that I will just bring these stuff to the station myself, since you seem to be too weak for the job" Draco said.
At this reply, Dotty felt worried that Draco would fire her for not doing her job and she began to say in a begging voice "please sir! Don't fire......" but before Dotty could say anything else Draco said "I am not going to sack you" and then he disappeared in mid-air with his trunk and owl.
"Sigh..... what a kind master" Dotty mumbled to her self with watery eyes starring where Draco stood before he apparated.
"Ahhhhh..........." Draco screamed as he sat straight up from his bed. Cold sweat trickled down his face as he wondered who the girl was in his dream.
"Who was she?" Draco asked himself as he tried to wipe away the sweat on his face with the sleeve of his pyjamas. He looked around the room like he was trying to find any clue to who the girl was.
