The sound of Nina scratching on my trunk awoke me, making me realize that today was the day I would leave to Hogwarts. My heart was racing, I've never spent a night away from home before. I looked at the grandfather clock on the other end of my room, it was about time for me to put my cloak on and get ready for the Hogwarts Express. I slipped my cloak on, brushed my hair which I usually pulled back with two bobby pins, grabbed my wand and left my room. My trunk was much to heavy for me to carry, so I went to find my father. Going down the seven flights of stairs to the main floor, I heard talking, that wasn't just my mother and father. I looked around the corner to see the three Malfoys. My mother looked over and saw me, she looked just as stern as usual.

"Selene, come here," She protested. I made my way over, my heart was pounding. "Go into the parlor with Draco, you two should get to know each other before you board the Hogwarts Express together."

Draco was avoiding eye contact, he was gazing at the family portrait hanging above the fire place.

"Selene, Draco, GO!" My father and Lucius shouted at both of us in unison.

I led Draco down a very long hallway that led to the parlor. Our mansion was never a comfortable place to be, it was huge, cold, and rather scary. What else would you expect from a family of death eaters? I sat down on a chair with a light layer of dust on it, Draco sat on the one next to me. We just sat there quietly until Draco spoke up.

"Well, hi." He said sounding awkward, still avoiding eye contact.

"Hi," I said. "You ready for today?" My hands were trembling.

"I guess."

"Yeah." As soon as I said that, mother walked in to fetch us, we were heading out to the Hogwarts Express.

"Selene, Draco, come. We're about to leave."

"I can't lift my trunk, can you help me?" I asked her. She gave me a rude look.

"Draco will help you, hurry up." And she walked out.

"Are you ok with..."

"Yeah its ok, where is it?"

"I'll show you," I lead Draco up to my room where my trunk was at the foot of my bed, Nina sleeping on top. "I'll take my cat." I told him. I picked Nina up carefully, and Draco lifted the trunk. I couldn't help but notice how strong he was, my heart was racing. He followed me down the seven flights of stairs, down to where our parents were.

"Thank you, Draco." My father said. Draco nodded his head in response. My mother took hold of my arm, and next thing I know it, I'm standing in front of a brick wall. Seconds later Draco appeared with his family and with all of his stuff.

"Mum, where the bloody hell is platform 9 3/4?" Draco snarled.

"Through the wall, run through it, the both of you." Narcissa told both of us.

"I'll go first, Selene follow after me." My mother said to me, as she disappeared through the brick wall. I back up, with my carriage in front of me. My knuckles white from clutching onto it so tightly. I got nervous, my heart thumping repeatedly. Draco's eyes upon me, watching me. I had no clue what I was doing, I did not want to embarrass myself in front of him.

"Here it goes." I whispered to myself. I shut my eyes, and ran straight forward, I did it. There was a enormous train, labeled "The Hogwarts Express." It was beautiful. Father was waiting for me.

"Good job. Now Selene listen to me, see that boy right there with the red heads? Stay away. He's the biggest blood trader of them all. Harry Potter is his name. Filthy he is. Every Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff are just filthy. You hear me?" My father snarled at me.

"I got it father."

"Good. Now on you go." He gave me a quick hug, his long dark hair brushing on my cheek.

"Selene," It was my mother. "Your father warned you about the filthy Potter boy. Good luck with the sorting, I know you'll be in Slytherin. Be careful." She gave me a tight hug, and left me with Narcissa and Draco. Narcissa telling Draco about Harry Potter and wishing him luck. Then she left as well, leaving us alone.

"Lets get on," Draco said, walking toward the train. Draco walked into an empty compartment, and sat down, I sat across from him. "My friends, Crabbe and Goyle will be sitting with us, if that's alright with you."

"Uh, yeah - yeah its fine." Two fat boys walked in at that very moment, assuming they were Crabbe and Goyle.

"Who's the chick?" One of them asked Draco.

"Selene. Shes my mum and dads friends daughter."

"How long she here for?" The other boy asked.

"I dunno." He said again. There was silence for about two hours, occasionally catching Draco's gaze. His eyes were beautiful. I couldn't tell what he thought about me, all I knew was that I could not wait for the train ride to be over.

"So uh Draco, did you hear about Harry Potter?" One of the boys asked, which I soon found out to be Crabbe.

"Yeah, father told me. Filthy he is, don't you agree Selene?"

"Yes, he disgusts me, and I don't even know him."

"Agreed." Crabbe said.

"Selene, do you think you'll be in Slytherin?" Goyle asked.

"I better be. I'm related to Salazar Slytherin you see..."

"WOAH!" They all said at the same time.

"That's amazing!" Draco said. My heart began to race once again. The compartment went quiet. Draco looked at me, we kept making eye contact. Before anyone got to say anything again at all, the train stopped moving. We just arrived to Hogwarts.
