That first year went by in a breeze, and i discovered some things about my blonde boy. His name was Draco Malfoy, and he was known to everyone in our house as the Prince of Slytherin. It wasn't like a nickname, he was never called it, it was more like a title. Everyone, including Draco, knew it but no-one said it. I was warned and told to look out for a few typical Malfoy traits by my new friend, Belinda Bogsworth. She was a plain sort of girl, with short, black hair, cut just below the chin and olive/brown eyes, but there was something about Belinda that made her stunning. She was slightly plump in figure, but swayed as she walked making her a common target for the slightly better looking boys in our house. I was slight of figure, and i guess i looked a little odd with my long white/blonde curls flowing out behind me a little, my bright, deep blue eyes a little big and my ears slightly pointed, all of which made me look a little elfin-fairy like. No-one normally took a second glance at me, except for one boy. The mysterious Draco. Often, i would look up to find him gazing at me during meals or in class. Because of this, i normally sat a good proximatity away from him, but whenever i caught him looking at me, i would spill a little of my drink on the table when i put my glass down, or blot some ink on my parchment when my quill slipped. This seemed to please him some what, and at first i couldn't understand why. Maybe he was bullying me a little? No-one had before so i didn't know what it was like. I questioned Belinda, who knew everything about him, thanks to an enormous crush she had and her sister's friends who were in his year. She said that apparently, to keep his status as Prince, he gave this treatment to a load of girls in his year and any year that joined. She told me to ignore him and not to feel special or anything, but i could tell she was annoyed that he barely took one glance at her most of the time.
The next year at Hogwarts, I was prepared for being totally blanked by Draco, as he felt his job was done as far as i was concerned. When i saw my parents for the first time after joining Hogwarts,it was a little uneasy to start with, them having to greet me in my Slytherin uniform, but they promised they still loved me exactly the same, and then things were normal. By my next year, they had had a whole summer to get used to my house choice, and happily watched a slightly more developed me wave them goodbye from the train, as it pulled out of the station. I was prepared for this year and as soon as they disappeared into the distance, i pulled my head in window and set out to find Belinda. I had no idea that things wouldn't have changed at all that much.
