The train ride was uneventful and very much like the previous years. Draco had become listless and decided to take up his old past time, tormenting Ron, Harry, and Hermione. He ordered Crabbe and Goyle to follow him. They did as they were told fearful that Draco would tell their parents their dreadful secret.
When the three arrived at Ron, Harry, and Hermione's compartment they also had seen that Ginny and Neville were there also.
He started in on Ron, knowing that he was the easiest to get a rise out of. "Oh wow, Weasley, your parents finally sold enough stuff to buy you and your little weasel sister some new robes did they?" he drawled. Then turning to Hermione, "still here mud blood? I thought you would have learned after the end of last year, only purebloods belong in the wizarding world."
"Oh, shut it, Malfoy," retorted Ron, "You know you can never be anything but a bouncing ferret and everyone knows it except you!"
Everyone was taken aback, including Draco. "No, Weasley. It's you who won't be anything, and the worst part is, you know it. Why do you think you are friends with Potter? I know, trying to get in to the spotlight as the sidekick. Well, he wont be around your whole life to protect you from the big bad wolf you know," snided Draco.
"Come on, Crabbe, Goyle. I've had enough of these mud blood lovers to last me at least a year." With that, they followed Draco out of the compartment and back to their own. When they got there, they heard the screeching voice of Pansy Parkinson.
"Oh Dracy, where have you been? I have been looking all over for you!" she screeched. "I've missed you so much over the summer. What have you been doing with yourself? I heard that you have gotten into trouble with your father. It's a shame; he doesn't recognize you for the great dark wizard you are going to be after we get out of this muggle-loving school!" on and on she went as Draco tuned her out and started to think about other stuff.
All of a sudden, Draco
just got up and left the compartment. He was tired of listening to
Pansy drone on about what a wonderful life they were going to have
together once they were married. Little did she know that Draco did
not want to be married, let alone to her.
He wandered up and down
the train until he came to an empty compartment. He sat down in it,
closed then locked the door. He didn't want to be disturbed while he
was thinking things through.
One thing he thought about was how to get rid of Pansy Parkinson. He couldn't stand to be around her for five minutes let alone the rest of his life. How did their father's come to this medieval idea of a pre-arranged marriage?
Second of all, when he was trying to start a fight with the fearsome foursome, how come Potter didn't intervene like he usually does? And what was that thing around Potter's neck? It looked so vaguely familiar, but yet foreign somehow. He knew he had seen it somewhere, but where is the question.
And another thing, why was he having all these weird dreams of people he thought he knew, but couldn't recognize in his waking hours.
Draco subconsciously put his hand on the pendant around his neck. It glowed for a second then dimmed to a dull green.
