A/N- Sorry this took so long. You would not believe how busy I've been! I'm either at some sort of practice or sleeping now a days. I will work harder to get the next one up! (Reviews make me write faster) and thank you SOOO much to Mocha Dragon! I probably would have given up and not posted anymore if it weren't for you. You are amazing! Luv ya lots!
To The Story!
Everyone is given an option of which path to follow, the one that takes them to where their dreams lay, and the one that takes them to what is expected of them. Too many people give up the road to dreams for the more travel route for acceptance. Following your heart is harder than people make it sound.
The Slytherin boy with the platinum hair was still grinning to himself as he took his seat in the Great Hall. All the grinning was beginning to scare his fellow Slytherins. It was a rare thing to see him smile when he wasn't terrorizing someone. Everyone knew that this evil grin was nothing good.
"Malfoy! What are you up to my man?" Blaise Zabini shouted across the table as he got up to go join Malfoy. Blaise was a tall, good-looking boy with wavy black hair and a dark complexion. If you looked at him he was nothing like Draco Malfoy, but if you go beyond looks, they're nearly identical. Both boys were pureblooded and raised in wealthy households. Both were adored by the majority of Hogwart's female population. Both would be joining the deatheaters at the end of the year.
"Hey, Blaise! Didn't see you much this summer," Draco replied as Blaise sat down next to him.
"Well, I've been busy, erm, getting ready. End of this year and we're in man! Speaking of getting ready, have you decided what you're gonna do for you initiation?" Blaise asked in a low tone.
"I've been having some trouble coming up with something, but I think I have an idea of what I'm going to do now." Draco answered.
"Good luck topping what I did!" Blaise taunted as he laughed heartily.
"Oh shut up. Like it took much to get that brainless Muggle to tell you where Avia was hiding." Draco said, grinning.
"Hey it was hard! Avia was his sister and it took forever. He finally caved when I hung his 3-month-old daughter upside down in the air. I learned that trick at the Quidditch World Cup couple years ago." Blaise leaned backing his chair and flashed a grin to a group of girls across the hall, laughing heartily. "Besides, the Dark Lord was highly impressed with my accomplishment. The deatheaters had been after that no good mudblood spy for months!"
"Ya Ya Ya, spare me the details." Draco said a dark look in his eyes. "Honestly, you're so modest how do you stand yourself?"
"I have a right to be arrogant! I'm frickin' amazing! The only thing you could do to top me is deliver Harry Potter himself straight into the Dark Lord's hands," Blaise said sarcastically, with a low laugh, then stopped when he saw the look on Draco's face. "WHAT? You're gonna get Potter? How? Yeah right!"
Malfoy didn't have time to answer because just then the group of girls Blaise had grinned at came bouncing over.
"Hey Blaise! How was your summer?" A tall blonde girl in the middle of the group questioned while batting her eyelashes in what she hoped was a seductive way.
"Great Ladies, how about you? I bet you girls always have fun." Blaise never missed a beat. As soon as he noticed the girls he changed modes flawlessly and gave them his most charming smile.
"Oh god," Draco muttered. "The last thing I need right now is more brainless barbie dolls." He got up and was trying to slip out the doors before Blaise noticed.
"Draco! Man where do you think you're going? I can't handle all these chicks by myself!" Blaise grabbed Malfoy's shoulder and pushed him back into his chair then turned his attention to the girls again.
"Damn! So close," thought Draco.
Draco went through the rest of the feast in a kind of haze. He barely noticed as the first years were sorted and paid less attention that usual to Dumbledore's speech. He forgot to clap with the rest of the students when the food appeared. He didn't really talk to anyone, though given his choices, who can blame him? Blaise was completely absorbed by the girls and Crabbe and Goyle were busy shoving as much food into their mouths as possible. Instead Malfoy stared intently at a certain bushy haired Griffindor and finalized his plans.
I can't get Potter by fighting him alone. He can defend himself. That's where Granger comes in. He'll do anything for that stupid Mudblood. She's key to Potty. Everyone knows how close those three are, and they've broken rules to help each other before. There isn't anything Potter wouldn't do for his friends, even give up his life. I'll get him.
When the feast ended Malfoy started for the door quickly.
"Man! Where you goin?" Blaise yelled after him.
Draco kept walking, pretending he hadn't heard him. Once out of the great hall he made a left and headed up the huge set of stairs. He had to get a letter to his father telling him he had a plan for his initiation. His father had been increasingly angry with him as his time grew shorter and shorter.
"YOU'LL BE A DESCRASE TO THE FAMILY! IF YOU DON'T BECOME ONE OF US, YOU WON'T BE WELOME IN THIS HOUSE! AND DON'T EXPECT TO INHEIRIT ANYTHING! I'LL GIVE IT ALL TO SOMEONE, ANYONE ELSE! I WOULD SOONER GIVE IT TO DOBBY THAN YOU! YOU ARE WORTHLESS! YOU HEAR ME! WORTHLESS! YOU ARE INCABABLE OF DOING ANYTHING RIGHT! NOW GET OUT OF MY HOUSE AND THINK OF SOMETHING AND FAST IF YOUR FAMILY MEANS ANYTHING TO YOU!" Draco shook his head bitterly as he remembered his father's last words before he had left for Hogwarts.
I'll show them all! I'll be able to bring down the one boy not even the Dark Lord could! I am smarter and more cunning than they could ever be! They should have learned the way to Potter isn't through fighting him, it's in his loyalty to his friends and his stupid bravery. Its sad really, that I'm the only one capable of figuring all this out! I'll show them all that Iam worthy!
A/N - I know this is short but i was having trouble with the next part and i figured you guys would rather have something than keep waiting on me. So I hoped you liked it and PLEASE REVIEW!
