"My mother always said I should think before I act, I should've listened to her. I let my emotions, Me, Draco Malfoy, as a person; let his emotions get the better of him. I didn't think that it would've ended that way. I didn't think she would die. I suppose you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about; well let me tell you, let me show you."

1 year earlier.

'Father, I have to be at the station an hour early to report for my Head boy duties', I shouted to my father through the door. I knew it was a mistake as soon as I let the 1st word leave my pale lips.

'Wait in my office', Luscius shouted in return as I cringed slightly at those few words. Every time my father would breathe those words, it always meant me, 10 minutes later with my clothes on the floor at my feet in front of my naked father, with an entirely naked man behind him. Now that I was 17, nothing had changed.

'Yes father?' I asked firmly, stepping slowly into his father's office.

'The usual', my father said as he sat down in his chair. I was slowly moving my arms to tug of my shirt, but stopped myself.

'Father, I must report to Professor McGonagall at 10am to report for my Head boy duties', I said as I backed slowly towards the door.

'You'll get there when you get there', Luscius whispered venomously.

'Yes father', I sad sadly as I tugged off my shirt.

Now standing bare in front of my father I began to twitch, as I stared at my father, who in turn was starkers.

'Now, the usual', Luscius said as I began to walk around the study.

'Mr Malfoy, you were to report here at 10am, not spot on when the train is to leave', Stated Professor McGonagall.

'Sorry professor', I sneered as I stepped onto the train and into the closest compartment.

'Uh, Draco, why…uh…were you…uh, um…Late?' Crabbe said scratching his head every five seconds.

'Never mind', I whispered, not my usual self as I sat in the corner of the compartment.

'Oh, Uh, Ok', Goyle said sitting across from me.

12 new Slytherins, 9 new Gryffindors, 10 new Hufflepuffs and 6 new Ravenclaws.

'Let the feast begin', Dumbledore shouted as the Table filled up with delicious and glorious food.

'Nice', Crabbe said as he shoved a chicken leg in his already full gob.

'Hmm…' I mumbled as I was knocking my peas around my plate.

'Mr Malfoy, the headmaster would like for you to report to him immediately', Snape said as he walked away from me as I got up and walked towards Dumbledore's office.

'Ah, Mr Malfoy, meet Hermione Granger, the head girl for this year', the wrinkly man said as she stepped out side of the shadows making the outline of the extra large chair.

'We've met', I said with a sneer as I saw her shiver.

'Unfortunately', she said as she finally faced me with confidence.

'Whoa, a little change of attitude from when I first walked in', I smirked as the bobble headed girl rolled her eyes. I looked at Dumbledore to find him staring off into space.

'Excellent, then you won't mind me putting you two into a dorm together', Dumbledore said as he handed us both a letter. 'Off you go', he said waving us out and continuing on with whatever he was doing before we had entered.

'Dear Mr Malfoy,

This letter contains your instructions for the year, so it would help to keep this on the pin up board located in the heads common room. Now, I know you and miss Granger have your difference's, but I would be guessing correct that you would put all that aside so you will be able to remain head boy? Well, welcome back and good luck,

Headmaster Dumbledore."
