Draco followed Harry and Ron to the compartment and met Neville Longbottom. Draco was about to make a smart remark but remembered about his cover he was trying to keep.
"What are you doing here malfoy?" Neville asked in a weary voice.
"I am here because I am in Gryffindor like I have always wanted. I know that I have treated you badly in the past years but I am making it up to you all in a way you will like." Draco smiled showing his bright white teeth. Hermione watched him with her eyes glowing. Draco took out 4 packages from a bag and handed one to each of them. Ron, Harry and Neville opened theirs slowly but Hermione opened hers as if it were Christmas. It was a trem and the latest model there was out there. They all looked at them and were surprised. Ron turned his upside down looking for something wrong with it but unable to see anything wrong he just turned it on.
"Wow for once in my life I have something that is worth a lot of money." Ron had said with excitement. Hermione was watching Draco as he showed Neville how to work the Trem. When he looked back at her to see if she was having problems she looked down at it and turned it on with no problem. They heard a knocking on the door and Crabbe and Goyle had walked in obviously looking for their leader Malfoy.
"Draco what you doing here?" Goyle spoke very slowly as if drowning the words.
"I am not a filthy Slytherin so go and hang with them I am an honorable Gryffindor now, so I am with my real friends." Harry Ron and Neville all had their jaws drop for what Draco had just said made it sound like he really meant it. Harry and Ron laughed at Goyle as he turned around and said what sounded like an insult.
"The house will hear about you Malfoy and your name will be spat on"Crabbe snorted. They were obviously running to the Slytherin compartments where they would tell about Malfoy being mean to Slytherins and nice to Gryffindors. Draco didn't very much care because all of it was a lie and he was leaving the school after this so he would not be there to hear the taunting. All Draco knew was that he had to get along with the Gryffindors if he wanted freedom. The food cart was coming and Harry started getting money out.
"Malfoy usually I get us some food do you want anything?" Harry had asked.
"No I will pay for everyone to show I am true in my meaning for friendship. What do you guys want?" Malfoy asked. The cart came around and they got almost everything on the cart. They sat telling jokes and how their summers went. Draco said all summer he sat in his room watching T.V because he had no re4al friends to visit.
Harry said if he could maybe he would visit him over the summer, but they would have to work something out. Malfoy sat in his seat thinking 'yes potter but I will not be here for you to terrorize my life with your nasty little tricks. I will play along but no for long' Malfoy grinned inside his head which looked evil. When they asked the time it was almost time to get off the train and go home to Hogwarts. They all got their robes on and waited. The year for Malfoy was gong to be a long year.
