Thanks for the reviews and hope you like this chapter!

Chapter 4

An owl flew through the window and dropped a letter on the table.

A certain blonde Slytherin scowled at the bird and then picked up the letter.

It read:-

Dear Mr Malfoy,

We are happy to tell you that you have being chosen for head boy this year. Due to this you will share a dormitory with the head girl.

We also would like to request that you come early to Hogwarts since you have joined the Order and you have requested that you will only help behind the scenes with research etc...

We would also like you to greet a new teacher, along with this years head girl who will also be arriving early, who will be helping with Defence Against the Dark Arts this year.

We await your owl.

Professor Dumbledore

Headmaster

Draco smiled and cheered inside, he hated the Malfoy manor, he thought of Hogwarts as home.

He quickly grabbed a quill and scribbled down:

Dear Professor Dumbledore,

I would be honoured to go to Hogwarts early and help out. Send the details, and don't worry I have destroyed the letter so my father does not find it.

Draco Malfoy

Draco quickly threw his letter in the fire after removing the head boy badge from the envelope.

He then ran to his room and started double checking over his stuff he would need for Hogwarts.

Yes, I get out of this retched place early, I wonder who this years head girl is?

Draco sat on his bed, as his arm shook. He got some shaking fits every so often but he didn't know why.

He also felt the need to hide this from his father; he felt the need to lie in the shadows, always running.

He remembered when he got his dad worried.

Flashback

A 13 year old Draco crept into the enterance hall so not to wake his father.

No such luck.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEING!" A man stormed.

"Out." Draco replied his voice icy cold.

Lucius grabbed his son be the collar and threw the boy with all his strength into a wall.

Draco gasped in pain, holding his shoulder and tried to stand up.

Lucius chuckled. "Who taught you to disobey me? Who taught you? WHO TAUGHT YOU?"

"YOU DID!" Draco shouted, his breath becoming shallow after.

Lucius stared hard at his son and smiled again.

Draco felt a chill go down his spine.

"No, I did not teach you. But I know who did," Lucius said as he left the room, his cape sweeping behind him.

Draco breathed a temporary sigh of relief that his father had left, until he heard the screams of his mother.

Draco's blood froze as he listened to his mother being beaten downstairs.

Finding strength, he rolled over onto his stomach, ignoring the stars in his eyes and the pounding in his head.

He stood, leaning against the oak desk, and forced himself towards the door.

He stumbled down the stairs, all of the house-elves standing in the foyer, terrified.

He had to get to his mother; his father was a cruel and brutal man. Draco couldn't help but think his dad reminding him of someone but he couldn't remember.

End of Flashback

Draco would be happy to leave but he felt sad for his mother, she would have to face Lucius on her own.

Maybe he could talk to Professor Dumbledore about it.

Draco laid down and drifted to sleep, but his dreams were not kind, they had him being beaten and yelled at, but the strangest thing was it was not his fathers voice but another mans.
