2. Chapter 2

Draco Malfoy

Aged 11

I sit down on the bed closest to the door, Great, already a bad impression on the Gryffindors and now I have to share a room with possibly the 3 people who hate me most, Harry Potter, My dad works for the man who killed his parents, Ron, Weasleys have always hated the Malfoys and we return the hatred and Neville, My Aunt Bella tortured his parents until they went mad, They no longer recognise him. I pity him. Mcgonnagal walks into the room.

'Hello Draco' She says kindly

'Hi Miss' I say still deep in thought

'Your having trouble fitting into Gryffindor arent you?'

'Yeah' I say 'Everyone in this house hating me might be part of it'

'Well, There is at least one Gryffindor who doesnt hate you, She is the one came to me with concerns about how you are fitting in seen as you have been raised as a Slytherin'

'There is, Wait... She?'

'Her name is Hermione, You know, The girl you saved'

'Oh, yeah, I thought she'd be a Ravenclaw'

'Yeah, Anyway lets get you to the hospital wing, She is waiting for you there.'

He walked with Mcgonnagal to the Hospital wing. When he walked in he saw a girl who was dripping wet, She hugged him.

'Thank you, Thank you, Thank you' she said

'Err, Its okay' I stammered

Mcgonnagal tells us that our stuff will be retrieved from the lake immediantly and dried off.

Oh no

'Erm, How are you planning to dry it'

'Go through it all and dry it with magic, why?' Mcgonnagal said

'I was just wondering because, well i'd like some practise with that spell so I was wondering if I could do it once I am all cleaned up' I say

'Erm, Sure you can, Nice to know how enthusiastic you are with magic Draco your stuff will be placed in your room immediantly' She says

Mcgonnagal leaves and Madam Pomphrey puts up a curtian around me so I can change into pyjamas, I will be staying here for the night.

After im changed I lie down in the bed and Madam Pomphrey stops the bleeding and uses magic to get rid of the blood on my arms, Mouth and hair. I thankfully no longer look ginger. Hermione starts speaking again

'So you and Percy don't get on very well, huh'

'Yeah, I don't really get on very well with any of the Weasleys, Ive only really heard of them and I think my parents word may be slightly biased'

'Yeah, Probably'

I fall asleep.

When I woke up, Hermione is gone and I no longer have cuts over my whole body. I walk to my room and see my robes set out aswell as uniform, Madam Pomphrey must have cleaned them for me. My roommates are already in class. Perfect. I open my suitcase and lift up the first peice of clothing. I sigh with relief. My snake, She's fine, phew. My snake, Nagini slithers into my hand. I remember it was just yesterday I hid her in here and smuggled her out of the Manor. Promising Dobby I would let him be a free house elf if he'd promise to keep quiet. I fed her some of my sweets from my bag and put her back into my suitcase, I get dressed and promptly left the room in search for a cage for Nagini, Hagrid would have one, I'd just need to con him into giving me it. I walk down to his cabin. He is teaching a class right outside the forest. My class. Well at least he is busy because it gives me a perfect opportunity. I silently open Hagrids door and take a cage and start towards the castle. I hear a voice.

Oh no

Hagrid saw me.

I look back and see him and the whole class staring.

'Get back 'ere lad' Hagrid says and I break into a sprint towards the castle. I sprint up to the Gryffindor.

'Godric' I say out of breath 'Godric Gryffindor'

The portrait swings open. I run to my room and open the cage. Put Nagini in it. Lock it and slide it under my bed with my other stuff. I lie on my bed, out of breath, I had ran so fast I hadnt noticed that Dumbledore was standing right there. Uh oh. I can't find the words, but this sure does look bad on my part.

'Explain' He says calmly

'Well I-' I say trying to find the right words 'I stole this cage to keep my snake in, The snake I smuggled into Hogwarts'

'You do know that is a snake of an illeagel breed, right' He says

'No, I didnt know' I say 'Well, I did but I didnt smuggle it from another country'

'Then how did you come into possesion of it' He says

'I-I' I say struggling for words 'My dad killed its mother and I was charged with the job of disposing of its body. Well it turns out the snake had an egg'

He nods his head prompting me to continue

'I took the egg back to the Manor and showed my mum, As I held it up it hatched, right there in my hands. She told my father and he suggested that I kill it, but I couldnt so I had to be punished'

'and your punishment' He said

'My punishment was to get Nagini turned into a horcrux for Voldemort but I didnt want her to become something evil so I smuggled her into Hogwarts so she was safe'

'She isnt safe for the students though Draco'

'But she is really friendly and I swear to keep her in her cage' I say

'Fine, but remember Draco, You still have to bring her home at the summer and I cant imagine what will happen' He says '-but if she does become a Horcrux we will have to kill her'

I stroke her

'Yeah'

She is a very small snake, Only 3 days old though so I wasnt expecting her to be that long.She is friendly and likes being stroked on her head. Dumbledore leaves. I glare at Nagini, What if she did die, Would she ever be safe, Would Voldemort return if she was given to Lucius. Her fangs would soon start to grow in and the Idea of that scares the living daylights out of me every day. She is friendly I tell myself but she IS still a Venomous Viper.

Hermione Granger

Aged 11

We are sitting in class learning about unicorns, Hagrid paces the floor telling us everything he knows about them. Suddenly he stops and glares towards his cabin

'Hey, What are you doing in my cabin' he shouts

No answer

'Get back 'ere lad'

A boy, Blonde, Draco, He glances at Hagrid and starts to sprint in the opposite direction. I start to run

" 'ermione, dunni be lettin' boys like that ruin y'ur learnin'" Hagrid shouts

"Dont worry, Ive read all about them' I yell back. I run towards hogwarts, through the hall and eventually up to his room, I burst open the door and see him stroking a snake, I cover my mouth, Muffling a scream.
