(On the train ride to Hogwarts, Draco once again enters the compartment.)
He was just taking Harry through the finer points of the game when the door to the compartment slid open and three people entered. Harry recognized the boy off to one side as Draco Malfoy, the pale boy from Madam Malkin's. The girl was a mirror image of him: pale skin, long blonde hair and grey eyes with a pointed face.
"Oh, hey Draco-" Harry began. The girl cut him off with a scowl.
"We've been hearing all down the train that Harry Potter was in this compartment. So it's you isn't it?" She glowered at Harry. She sneered at Ron. "Oh, don't tell me," Her voice was filled with scorn. "Red hair, hand-me-down clothes, and a stupid complexion. You must be a Weasley." The darker wizard snickered.
"S-s-sorry about my s-s-s-sister, she can b-b-be very rude." At this Draco gave his sister a scorching glare.
The other boy turned to Harry and said, ignoring Draco's burning stare "Some wizarding families are better than others," The girl and the darker wizard smirked at Ron. "My name is Blaise Zabini, by the way, and this is Colette Malfoy." He extended his hand "I can help you tell the wrong sort of wizards to be around." He sneered at Ron.
At this point Draco was staring at him. His eyes were begging Harry to refuse, and Harry didn't much like the look of the wizard and witch Draco was with so he said "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks."
The girl scowled, and with a haughty sniff she turned and stalked out. Blaise said "You'd best be careful, or you'll come to a sticky end like your parents. Hang around with riff-raff like the Weasleys and Draco here, and it'll rub off on you." And followed Colette out, heedless of Draco's snarl.
Draco sighed. "I-I t-t-t-old them y-y-you would r-r-efuse. They w-w-wanted to s-see for t-t-themselves." Draco turned to Ron. "I'm s-s-s-sorry my s-s-s-sister insulted y-y-y-you. She c-c-can be very r-r-r-rude. M-my n-n-name is Draco M-Malfoy, by t-t-the way." Ron looked at Draco in surprise as he extended his hand.
"Ron Weasley." He replied, shaking the offered hand.
The first time, I put this up, I forgot to thank all the wonderful people who reviewed and inspired me to finally finish this. I know, it's really crappy for such a long wait, but i couldn't get myself to like it. Anyway, feel free to leave reviews, and if you feel the need to question me or correct me on something, feel free to do so.
