1The Inter-House Heads-Chapter 1:
"Draco, honey, wake please! Today's school!", Draco's mom, Narcissa, called from the floor below. The Malfoy Manor had forty-seven rooms, and Draco had lived in each one multiple times. At this time he slept on the top floor, the seventh.
"Ugh, I forgot school started today." Draco sighed as he scrambled out of bed. "I'm gonna take a shower!", he called down to his mom. He walked out of his room and down the hall. He opened the ninth door on the left, and flicked the shower switch on. The Manor's showers were special, they knew what heat each of their owners preferred, according to their mood. Today, the shower considered Draco's mood as normal, he knew because the mild heat hitting his body indicated it. He just stood there for a while enjoying the heat of the shower, until his thoughts drifted to school. When he thought of Hogwarts, the speed of his shower-taking increased very noticeably. He didn't want to be late to the Heads' Compartment on the Hogwarts Express.
Draco got out of the shower and dried himself hurriedly with a monogramed Malfoy towel. He ran out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, and into his room. After searching through his drawers for a couple of minutes, Draco found the perfect clothes to apparate in. His mother always apparated him to King's Cross Station. There was no way he would take muggle transportation. He grabbed all of his pre-packed luggage, along with his eagle-owl, Blighter, and hurried down the stairs, getting increasingly sore after each flight. When he reached the ground floor, he saw his mother, her long blond hair tied neatly in a bun, and dressed in an elegant turquoise top, and muggle jeans, he knew there would only be one more time this year he saw her in muggle clothing. Only when she picked him up from King's Croos in July.
"Ready, honey?", she asked him. "More than ever.", he answered. And with that, he grabbed her arm, and they apparated.
