Chapter 3: Draco: Memories and Secrets

For some strange reason Draco did not want to leave his mother alone with his father but at the same time it was his seventh year and he was Head Boy. But Draco had this burning in the back of his throat. He knew something was going to happen today, and he just hoped that it was something goon. Though he highly doubted it.

"Maybe Granger isn't coming back!" he said to his ceiling although he didn't really know why. She had been on his mind a lot since he found out her secret. He didn't really mean to but curiosity is what got the better of him. Sighing he rolled over and closed his eyes remembering that day.

-Flashback-

Draco walked down the empty corridor. He smiled a smile so unlike his own. Ever since he got that secret off of his chest he had been a totally different person. He waved to a group of first years that rushed past him looking apprehensive. He stared at a door that was slightly ajar to his right.

He walked to the door and stood listening to the conversation going on inside the room.

"Hermione, I have something that I need to tell you." Said Dumbledore. Draco recognized that voice from the first syllable it spoke. "You're adopted. This is very hard to say because I have watched you endure much taunting and ridicule from some of your fellow classmates. Your parents were a pureblood witch and wizard."

"Professor Dumbledore," Hermione spoke as if she was walking on thin ice" who are my birth parents?"

Draco heard Dumbledore sigh before he began to answer. "Your father was Sirius Black, your mother was a young woman that went to school with Sirius. Her name was Jennifer Reed."

So Hermione was a pureblood Draco thought as he walked away from the door. Now I feel bad. Wait, I feel bad! I'm a Malfoy god damn it. How could I feel things other that hate and anger.

-End Flashback-

Draco rolled back onto his back and coughed. He really did feel guilty for tormenting her now. But if I didn't know Hermione's secret would I still tease her? No! He answered himself truthfully. I've grown out of that and besides I don't tease beautiful girls! I fcuk beautiful girls. He thought grinning. He laughed and closed his eyes falling back asleep.

When Draco awoke he was twenty minutes late. Thankfully he had already got his apparition test. If worst came to worst he could be at the train station in five seconds tops.

With this thought settled in the back of his mind he took his time getting dressed. He touched the back of his head. It was here that I hit the floor when I saw... he let the rest of his sentence float into the tomorrows of the year.

With a warm smile on his face he silently crept downstairs to get something to eat. He stopped short as a conversation in the living room caught his attention.

"Yes! Yes, that's what I said!" exclaimed Lucius Malfoy.

"But, but your wife?" Said a female voice.

"Need not know about you Sam!" said Lucius.

"Okay. Jimmy" said the woman named Sam.

"Jimmy?" Draco whispered to himself in the hallway confused.

"No more of this Jimmy shit! My name is Lucius!"

Draco peeked his blonde head into the living room and was surprised at the sight he saw there. Sitting on the couch cuddling was his father and a brown headed woman. Draco could not see her face because the back of her head was to Draco.

Lucius looked up and caught sight of Draco!

"Ah, here's my son Draco now!"

The woman turned around to face Draco.

"Hello Draco my name is Sam!" she said extending her hand.

Reluctantly Draco shook it. Something about that woman was familiar to Draco

"Father," Draco said pulling his eyes away from that familiar face. "I'm leaving for school in a moment! Tell mother I said goodbye!" Draco turned his attention back to Sam. He decided to act ignorant and said: "It was nice meeting somebody from my Father's job. I hope to see you again."

Draco turned and grabbed hold of his trunk and apparated to King's Cross. Sighing he placed his trademark smirk on his face and walked onto the train. The train that would take him to the world he knew and loved.

Draco barely had a second to himself before he was tackled to the ground.

"Drakie-poo! I've missed you!" shrieked Pansy.

"Get off me you fat cow!" Draco growled.

Obviously hurt she climbed off of him. Draco got up, brushed himself off, shoved his hands into his pockets, and nodded to Crabbe and Goyle. The warning whistle blew and they silently climbed onto the train.

"Hey when are we going to go annoy Harry and Ron and the Mudblood!" Crabbe asked. A flame of anger shot up inside Draco and quickly vanished.

Draco snapped into action, "Now, I guess."

They found the three of them and Ginny in the last compartment on the right side. Smirking Draco pushed open the compartment door. He gasped as he realized who san reminded him of. Sam was just an older version of Hermione Granger.
