C-E-F-Y
Last time on The Last Chance!…
"So now that he's dead you tell me this?" Draco asked angrily.
"But why do I look so much…you put a spell on me?" He asked with hurt filling his eyes.
Narcissa looked at her son heartbroken.
"No, you just happen to look the same…I'm sorry." Was all she could manage in between sobs before running out of the room in tears.
Draco fell to his knees and looked at his hands.
"Everything was a lie." He thought as his vision became blurry and his hands became smudges in front of him.
Now on The Last Chance!…Before anyone knew it, it was time to board the Hogwarts Express.
Hermione walked through the barrier to platform 9 and ¾ happily.
She sighed happily as she saw some red hair no doubtedly belonging to a Weasley.
She ran up to the boy and saw a dark messy haired boy standing by him.
She snuck up behind them and stood on her tip-toes to reach they're shoulders with her chin.
"What are we looking for?" She whispered.
Both boys turned and smiled.
"'Mione!" Harry said happily.
Ron shook his head.
"Shouldn't we look for a compartment?" She asked.
Both boys looked towards eachother and pointed.
"That's what I said but…" Ron began.
"You did not…" Harry began trying not to smile.
Hermione shook her head at her friends.
"Well, lets go before the train leaves and we'll have to wait until next year to finish this argument." With that she quickly walked away towards the train.
Harry and Ron lost track of Hermione once again.
"C'mon, she's bound to be on the train already." Ron said getting on.
Harry nodded and followed closely behind.
Both boys began to check compartments until they finally found Hermione sitting in one talking animately with Ginny.
"And then he asked me what it was?! Why people insist on picking on my cat is behond me." Hermione said petting her cat lovingly.
Ginny laughed nervously at the ugly animal in her friend's lap and smiled at Harry and Ron thankfully as they entered and sat down.
"How was your summer Harry?" Ginny asked.
"Alright since I was at your house…where were you anyway?" Harry asked curiously.
"Haven't you heard? Ginny's got herself a boyfriend…" Hermione teased.
Ginny blushed.
Ron crossed his arms like the overprotective brother he was.
"Yea…" Ron sneered.
"A fifth year Ravenclaw." Ron said with discust.
"Oh Ron." Ginny rolled her eyes.
"His name is Mike Lawrence and I went with his family on a trip to the United States" Ginny said.
Harry smiled.
"Congratulations Ginny." Harry said.
Ginny blushed.
"Thanks Harry." She said.
The rest of the train ride was spent listening to Ron and Harry get into a heated discussion about…you guessed it…Quidditch.
"Don't you ever talk like normal boys?" Ginny asked after they had ended an argument over the best player.
Ron and Harry looked at her confusedly.
Hermione laughed at their expressions.
'What's more important than Quidditch?' Was what they looked like they'd be thinking.
"Nevermind. You two are hopeless." Ginny said dramatically throwing her arms in the air and falling back into her seat.
Both boys looked at Hermione as if asking 'is she gonna be ok?'.
Hermione smiled.
"She means, all you ever talk about is Quidditch…don't you ever talk about girls?" Hermione asked seriously.
"Of course we talk about girls…I just prefer not to when my sister is around." Ron explained.
"Thank you." Ginny said from her seat next to Harry.
They all laughed as the train continued on its course to Hogwarts.
Draco sat in a compartment by himself. He stared out the window with an expressionless face.
Suddenly his compartment door opened.
"…We can't…" A voice began as the door started to shut.
"We have to, there's nowhere else." Another voice said opening it back up.
"Well, I'm not asking him." The first voice said defiantly.
"Fine." The second one said.
"Excuse me? Um…Malfoy?"
Draco turned from the window to look towards the doors. There were two girls standing there waiting patiently for a reply.
They looked to be twins.
One had dark brown hair and the other had brown hair with red highlights.
They both looked slightly nervous.
They wore their school robes and had a pin on their robes that had the symbol of Ravenclaw.
"Um…we were wondering…" The dark brown haired girl began after no response.
The one with red hightlights who stood slightly behind her made Draco believe she was the one that was too frightened to speak.
we sit here?" The brown haired girl finished.
Draco nodded and turned back to the window.
"See? I told you it wouldn't be that bad." The same girl said to her scared sister as she rolled her eyes.
They sat down and then looked at one another.
They both turned to Draco who continued to stare blankly out the window.
"Uh…thanks." The scared girl said.
Her sister elbowed her.
She glared back and she sighed.
"My name is Sydney." The braver of the two said.
Draco nodded.
"Draco." He said politely.
Sydney smiled a bright toothy grin.
Her sister on the other hand looked at Draco as though he would suddenly attack them without warning.
"This is my sister…ow!" Sydney glared at her sister who just elbowed her angrily in the side.
"What? It's a long trip we need to at least talk…really sometimes I don't understand you." Sydney said shaking her head.
The girl sighed and crossed her arms looking away.
"Anyway, this is Page." Sydney said pointing at her sister.
Draco nodded once again.
'This will be a long trip.' He thought.
An hour had passed of silence.
At least…silence from Draco.
Sydney certainly liked to talk.
"So, what did you do this summer?" She asked after talking nonstop.
Draco thought a moment.
"Your father has nothing to do with this…" She began looking away. "Of course he does. He always has. He hated mudbloods more than…more than he hated Dumbledore and now that he's gone you're going to stick up for the filthy little creatures…filthy little creatures..."
"I'm not your mother. Lucius brought you home one night to me. We couldn't have children and he needed an heir...an heir …he wanted you to believe muggle born wizards were mudbloods so you'd never question your heritage…"
As a mudblood…Draco added sadly to himself.
He looked out the window once again.
"I didn't have such a great summer…" Draco continued to stare out the window and Sydney looked down sadly.
When the four friends arrived at Hogwarts they stared at it in awe.
"It's amazing, every year it's more enchanting than the last." Hermione said in a slight whisper.
"Yea…" Ron said then he looked inside the doors.
"I smell…chicken…pumpkin juice…ew…what in bloody hell is that?" Ron asked.
"Take a bath Weasel then maybe you wouldn't be smelling shit all the time." A group of Slytherin's laughed.
Ron turned expecting the snide remark from Malfoy but instead came to face a laughing Blaise.
He walked off to the Great Hall before Ron had time to give him back a rude comment.
"Forget it Ron you know those Slytherin's aren't worth it." Hermione said.
Just as she said this she was run into again.
"Sorry…" A voice mumbled while trudging by.
"That's alright…" Hermione began as she looked up at the blond hair of…Malfoy?
He had his head down slightly as he continued walking.
Hermione looked at him questioningly but quickly dismissed the caring thoughts as Ron and Harry called for her.
"You coming 'Mione?" Harry asked.
She smiled and nodded as they all entered the Great Hall.
Within moments the first years came in and were selected into houses.
Throughout everything that was going on Hermione couldn't help but have this nagging feeling in the back of her mind that was entirely focused on what was wrong with Malfoy.
"I wonder why he was…polite?" Hermione thought.
"Why do I even care? He probably thought I was someone else…that's all." Hermione said and dismissed the thoughts for the rest of the night.
Draco glanced at the Slytherin table and couldn't help but be depressed. Slytherin's were supposed to be pureblood… pureblood and happy…everything he wasn't.
He tried to focus on Dumbledore but all he could think about was all the lies. All the lies he would eventually have to face. He sighed inwardly.
He wouldn't let it come to that.
He was still Draco Malfoy whether it was true or not and he was determined to prove it.
