Here is the second chapter. I hope you all like it. I would like some reviews to know if you like it. I know this is a short chapter, but it gives you time to think about upcoming chapters. The same disclaimer as usual: Don't own Harry Potter and don't want to... alright that last part is a lie. Here it is!...

Thoughts

Draco rubbed his chest gingerly as he sat down in the compartment he had reserved for himself. The first years he had to kick out were not too happy about his arrival, but he sensed that he would get over it. Crabbe and Goyle sat on the opposite side of the compartment staring at him like complete idiots. "What are you looking at?" he snapped at the two. Taking this as their release, they no longer held up their shoulders and relaxed. Draco rolled his eyes as the two started conversing in hushed voices.

That stupid mudblood and her friends. The nerve of her stepping up to him like that. It was outrageous! The thought of her being put in Slytherin put the whole house to shame. She had always been an outsider that never talked or interacted with most of the house members. Of course she had to go and make herself a large target for criticism by being best friends with the golden trio from Gryffidor.

"Anything before you get off, dears?" The trolley lady was making her final rounds before they reached the school. Crabbe and Goyle practically pounced on the poor woman. Draco dismissed the woman and turned back to the darkness outside the window.

Draco snorted as he returned to his thoughts. She had insulted him saying he was scum and her muggle-loving friends were better. Like that will ever happen, he thought to himself. "I bet you couldn't even last a day in their world, believe me I'd know." What was that suppose to be? A threat? Of course he could make it in the muggle world. He was Draco Malfoy for gods sake!

"You look very distant, Mr. Malfoy," came a small silky voice. Draco snapped out of his daze to find Pansy standing in the doorway. She smiled at him sweetly before striding in and taking a seat next to him. Uncomfortably close. Draco looked across to the opposite side. He frowned at the fact that Pansy had kicked out the two idiots without his knowing.

"I was just thinking, that's all." He slide over a tad as she started to rub her leg against his. She leaned closer still smiling at him. "About what?" "Nothing too important, really. Just something Snape told me." It felt so odd saying his professor's name and not mean him. "Professor Snape? What did he say to you?"

Draco stood up and started to inspect his luggage again when she became way too close for his liking. Ever since fourth year, when he had dated her for five months, she had been annoyingly friendly. "No, his adopted daughter, the muggle girl." "Oh, what did she want?" her tone became bitter at the mention of her. Draco smirked. Pansy was pretty but it was true that she could never match Sna- (he shuddered at what he about thought) the girl's looks. Too bad that she was stubborn, was a muggle, and hung around Gryffindors.

Finding that he was re-searching his clothes for the third time since he opened his trunk- and the tiny fact that his green boxers were now on top- he slammed it shut. "She just mentioned something to me about the muggle world." He paused wondering if she thought he was capable. She was a pureblood but he did care to know her opinion, even if it was far from the truth. "Do you think I could go into the muggle world and actually know what I was doing?"

Pansy frowned in thought, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "I think you could. Why not? Father says it's not that different. He says they are more barbaric and have weird ways." She paused to smile at him and lean closer, " you're incredibly smart, and strong, and hand-" She toppled over when the train lurched to a stop.

Draco heaved a sigh of relief as he stepped off the train. Crabbe and Goyle followed carrying their trunks and his. Many carriages waited in the road. They were suppose to be drawn by invisible horse type creature. They found an empty carriage and piled in. To his relief Pansy had lost him in the confusion of students and went with her friends. Leaning against the cushioned back rest he sighed.

His eyes narrowed instantly at the sight of his fellow Slytherin house mate walking with Potter, Weasley, and Granger. So she thought that he could not handle her world? Well he would show her. He did not know how but he would prove to her that he was better than her and all her little friends. The carriage lurched forward as it started it's way to the towering castle. He looked out at the approaching castle and its tiny lit windows.

He had much thinking and planning to do. No doubt he would have to do it all on his own. First off, he glanced at the two other occupants of the carriage, they were too thick to help. Second, whoever was willing to help (Pansy) would be too annoying. Not for the first time in his life he wished he had true friends to count on. He sighed to himself. Little late for that, don't you think, he thought a little annoyed. All the people who did want to be his 'friend' were looking for power.

"This is going to be an interesting year," he mumbled to himself.

"What, Malfoy?" Crabbe asked dumbly.

"Nothing, you twit!"
