A/N- Sorry I haven't updated in forever! I've had some serious writers block (which I still have) and my computer is being mean. It keeps shutting down on me. Here's a new chapter, finally, and I have chapter four written also, so I will get that up ASAP. Thank you all for sticking with me!!!

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

The only sound in the almost empty house was the sound of an alarm that was unwelcome to the boy it belonged to and the scurrying feet of working elves, preparing their masters quick breakfast before he headed off to school.

Draco Malfoy was alone. Technically, he had his elves, but he had no family. At least not a real family. His mother was off in Paris, doing god-knows-what with god-knows-who. Off on a "business trip" for her dream of becoming a stage actor. Draco thought she was ridiculous. His father was most likely kneeling before his own master, begging for forgiveness of some sort, or kissing someone else's ass to save himself. Draco's life was always the same. Nothing ever happened to him; Nothing good at least.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

No matter how many times the alarm went off, Draco would not wake up. It was this way every morning. No one actually knew why he still had the alarm, but no one really understood anything about him.

Finally a kitchen elf came upstairs to tell him that his breakfast was ready. It was the same reaction every morning, so it was always the same elf coming up to him. They were prepared for the coming explosion.

"Err, Master Malfoy? You're breakfast is ready?"

With those few words, Draco was up, out of his king sized, fluffy bed, and raving.

"Who said you could come in my room, wake me up hours after I was supposed to be up, and… come into my room!?" Yeah, Draco was mad.

He didn't like to be interrupted by anything, even though if he hadn't been disturbed, he wouldn't have been woken. He knew that it wasn't the elves fault, but he needed to take his always-boiling anger out on someone.

The elf just looked at him knowing that this could go on for a while if Master Draco wanted it to. The little man knew he would just have to stand there until the storm was over.

"I have to take a shower. Go do whatever it is that you do."

And with those words, Draco knew something was different. He had barely yelled at all. That was really unlike him.

What is wrong with me? What was all that about?

Draco just looked at the elf, turned briskly on his heel and went to start his shower, leaving the elf thoroughly confused. As the spray of water warmed up, Draco thought about what had happened out there.

Why didn't I scare that elf more? And why am I so exhausted? What the hell is wrong with me?

Draco picked out a fluffy white towel from underneath his double sink and hung it over the glass wall of the shower. He was so distracted by his thoughts that he almost forgot to take his clothes off before stepping into the shower.

After he double-checked that everything was where it should be, and he was as he should be, he opened the shower door and stepped in under the stream of scalding water. Just the way he liked it.

While Draco was in the shower, he thought about everything that had happened recently. This summer had changed him a lot. He had been home by himself, in the immense manor, for almost the complete summer. It had made him think a lot. Thinking in ways that were very unlike the way Malfoy's should think.

He had also been having really strange dreams, but he couldn't remember them in the morning. He would grasp a part of it when he woke up, but the dream always slipped away from him. It was the same dream every night, and the same outcome every morning.

When Draco had been in the shower for almost an hour, he decided it was time to get out. As he stepped out of the shower, his stomach decided to tell him it was time to eat. Draco got himself all slick and neat, and stomped down the stairs. As he opened the double doors to his massive dining room, he realized he hadn't read his letter from Hogwarts.

He looked to his deep mahogany table that could sit 20, and saw his breakfast of waffles, eggs over easy, and 3 strips of bacon. The breakfast fit for him, King of the house. As he sat down he called his best elf to him.

"Yes, Master?" Snappy was right by his side in a second, always the faithful servant.

"Where is my letter from Hogwarts? I wish to see it now." Draco said without even looking at the helpful elf.

Snappy reached into his potato sack top and produced Draco's letter. Draco reached out his left hand as he put some eggs into his mouth with his right hand. When he had the letter, he dismissed Snappy without any glance, once again.

Draco opened the flap that was tucked into the envelope, since the elves had already opened it to buy his school supplies. He took out his letter, saying all the Hogwarts fancy speech about the school. He just skimmed that letter, but when he looked back into the envelope, he realized another letter.

He took the letter out and unfolded it, very curious about what the letter contained. As he read the first line, he dropped his fork full of eggs, and it clamored to the floor. As house elves appeared to clean up his mess, Draco sat there, stunned.

The first line of this mysterious letter read:

Congratulations on becoming Hogwarts new Head Boy…

New head boy? You have got to be kidding me. You're kidding, right?

Draco could not believe that he had gotten Head Boy. He was a Slytherin, a good student, but not a great one, and frankly, he was an ass-hole. Even he knew he was an ass-hole. He tried to be one. He pretty much made it his job to be one.

When Draco finally came out of his daze of wonderment, he realized he had to get to the platform. Now. He jumped up from his seat and flew out of the dining room. A few of his house elves followed behind him, 2 of them going upstairs to fetch his trunks.

He walked outside of the massive manor to the front yard, with manicured lawns and many acres of land. Draco looked around himself, and he finally realized something that really scared him. He didn't want this. None of this.
