After getting the password and directions to the Gryffindor Common room./ inside the girl's dorm. You sit on your four-poster bed, you slip the key into the lock on your mother's trunk and turn it. The top flew open. A book lay on top. You pick it up and read the title; memories' "My mom's diary!" you open to the first page. A picture was pasted there of your mother. Long dark hair and the deep warm green eyes that you got. Dear diary, today was the first day of my seventh year at Hogwarts, okay first year, but seventh year attending school. Mum made me transfer. But anyway, I saw a boy a crossed the great hall, he was a head boy from Slytherin. Sarah said his name is Tom, Tom Marvolo Riddle. He had my heart right then// Dear Diary, today Tom came up to me and asked me out. He asked me to Hogsmade this weekend!!' you pause reading. "My father's name was Tom? So what's the big deal? Why won't anyone tell me that?" the second page had a picture of your mom and your dad hugging and kissing buy a lake. You set the diary aside and grab the small box that was under the diary. Inside was a gold necklace, a diamond ring, and a small slip of paper. At the end was a snake curled around a gold heart. The snake was imbedded with rich green emeralds and diamonds for eyes. The paper said; Carissa, I can't even start to tell you how much I love you. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm sorry I can't say this in person; will you take this ring and pendant and become my wife when we graduate? Sneak out to the willow by the lake with your invisibility cloak to meat me at midnight tonight. Tom.' "How romantic!!" The next thing in the chest was a invisibility cloak. You place the diary and cloak back inside the chest but strung the necklace around your neck. The ring was too big so you put it back in the box in the chest. As you place the chest under your bed the door opened and Hermione stepped in.
"Darcie, you got in Gryffindor?"
"No, forced to be hear. He didn't sort me."
"Why not?"
"I don't know, something about my being a sixth year and my father, he didn't say anything else."
"Your father?"
"Ya, I don't know why. I don't know anything about him. And no one will tell me about him."
"Odd."
"I know."
"Well, we have class tomorrow, we should get to sleep."
That morning you got up and dressed and made your way down to the common room to meat Hermione, Ron, and Harry. "Hey! Good morning!"
"Morning! Hermione told us you were in Gryffindor!"
"Ya, why weren't you at the feast?"
you just smile and shrug. "So, Where's food? I'm famished!!"
"The Great Hall, come on!" your new friends lead you down to the great hall and you sat next to Hermione. "What class do you have first, Darcie?"
"Muggle studies. How about you?"
"Harry and I have Divination."
"Really Ron, I don't get how you can continue with that class. It's all stuff n' nonsense! I have advanced Herbology."
"Another advanced class?"
"Yes. But look, we should head to class. We don't want to be late!"
"God forbid!" Ron said sarcastically as Hermione ran to class. You laugh as you turn away and walk towards your class.
You make your way thru the maze of halls, suddenly a hand grabs your shoulder.
You turn to see a boy about the same age as you. He had blond hair and blue eyes that looked strangely familiar. "I haven't seen you before." He said.
"I just transferred. Now, if you'll excuse me,"
"You have plenty of time before class."
'Why does his eyes look familiar? Have I seen him before?' You thought
"I'm Draco."
"Darcie." Then you figure out where you saw his eye's before. "Lucius Malfoy!"
"What? Why di-"
"Sorry, it's just that your eye's remind me of a man named Lucius Malfoy."
"Not that surprising, he's my father. How do you know him?"
"He came into Professor Dumbledor's office last night."
"Oh."
"Well, Draco, what house are you in?"
"Slytherin. You?"
"Gryffindor. But I wasn't really sorted. Professor Dumbledor just told me I was a Gryffindor."
Draco raised an eyebrow. "He didn't sort you?"
"No, I don't know why."
"Odd, I wonder what he's trying to hide or what ever."
"I don't know. But really, I need to get to class."
"Okay, see you around Darcie."
You hurry away to class.
A few classes later. You step into the Potions room, All the students were already there and The teacher was nowhere in sight but everyone was silently taking notes. You look around for an empty seat and spotted the last one. You started to walk to it when a hand grabbed your arm. You look down. "Draco, is this going to be a habit of yours?"
"Listen, I need to speak with you after class. Meat me out side the room?"
"Okay."
He let go and you sat down by Hermione. Professor Snape, a greasy
haired teacher walked into the room and told the class to start
mixing a sleeping potion. A kid named Neville Longbodm liked his
potion soaked fingers and fell to the ground snoring.
You
stand outside the Potions room, waiting for Draco. You had Told
Hermione that you'd meet her in the great hall for lunch. "Darcie?"
"What? You're not going to grab my shoulder or arm when I least expect it? What did you want to say to me?"
"I wanted to ask you, when you saw my Father, What did he, what did you say to him?"
"Why?"
"He sent me an odd message about you and it perked my curiosity."
"Why did he write about me? What did he say?"
"He said for me to keep a eye on you."
"Why?"
"He didn't say."
"I just confronted him on…"
"On what?"
"Never mind that."
"Well what ever it was, it got him acting odd."
"What do you mean?"
Draco shrugged, "I don't know, He's just, not himself. He speaks of you as if you… You know something about him that most don't."
"Then it's true!"
"What is?"
"Nothing. But why keep an eye on me?"
"I don't know."
"Was there anything else? Or can I go to lunch now?"
"What? Oh, sure."
"See ya." You say running off.
