Chapter 2

The rest of the train ride went by in a comfortable silence. As they were getting close to the station, Draco excused himself so he could change into his school robes.

Harry looked at his watch and mentally went over the schedule in his mind. Harry concluded that they were about 10 minutes out from the station, so he methodically stretched and stood up.

As he moved around the little compartment gathering his trunk and few belongings, Harry's eyes landed on Draco's trunk that the other had stored on the rack when he had first entered. From where he stood on the ground, he could just make out what looked to be an elegant silver snake winding it's way around the trunk.

'Slytherin!' Harry thought to himself, smiling.

"What are you grinning at?" a cool voice sounded beside him. Harry jumped about a foot in the air.

"Sorry!" Harry calmed at the sight of the blonde's smirk. "Oh, hey Draco. I was just looking at your trunk! I like the snake. Are you going to be a Slytherin?"

Draco regarded Harry thoughtfully.

"Of course I am. The Malfoys are always Slytherin!" The boy finally replied, sticking his nose up in the air in a comical gesture of haughtiness. Harry just looked at him.

"So if your parents are in a house, you will be in that house too?" Harry questioned quietly, tilting his head slightly.

"No. You go where you fit the most. Where you will be able to reach you highest potential. Have you not heard about the Hogwarts houses, Harry?" Draco frowned and the smaller boy standing in front of him.

"Of course I know about the Hogwarts Houses!" Harry bristled, crossing his arms, a pout on his face. "There are four Hogwarts houses. Each house was named after one of the four original founders and is based on what the founder held most important. There is the brave, and loyal Gryffindor, named after Godric Gryffindor, the wise, logical Ravenclaw, named after Rowena Ravenclaw, the loyal, true Hufflepuff, named after Helga Hufflepuff, and finally the cunning, sly, ambitious Slytherin, named after Salazar Slytherin."

Draco was shocked.

"My Father said you were raised with muggles. How do you know that much? I thought I was going to have to explain everything to you for certain." Draco mocked.

Harry just shrugged. "I like to read. I don't like not knowing about my surroundings. Call me overly anxious or cautious, but I picked up books on Hogwarts, my Classes, the Wizarding World in general, as well as a few on Wizard Politics. It kept me busy for the month before school."

"Well then, are you aiming for Ravenclaw? You seem like a bookworm to me." Draco smirked.

"Ravenclaw would be ok, I guess." Harry said slowly. "But it's not where I really want to go."

Draco's eyebrows rose, intrigued. Before continuing the conversation, Draco moved back to his seat on the wall and watched as Harry returned to his seat across from him as well.

"Well then, do tell. Where do you wish to go?" Draco asked.

"I think I would fit in best in Slytherin. I'm smart, sure, but I don't just study for fun. I want to be the best at something! I'm not sure what yet, but I'll be the best at something one day! I'm going to give all those people a reason to remember my name, not just because of some fluke when I was a little baby!" Harry huffed, obviously very put out with the whole of his wizarding followers.

Draco looked at Harry, a smile creeping onto his face.

"Well then, we'll just have to find you something to be the best at, then." He told the other boy, a conspirator's grin lighting up his features.

As Harry smiled back at his newfound friend, the train lurched to a stop.

Harry froze, realizing that he now had to leave the peaceful and safe compartment and make his way to his new home. A home that he had never been to. A place he didn't know. Scooting over on the bench, Harry pressed his back tightly against the back all of the compartment, watching the door as if it intended to come alive and attack him. Draco watched Harry shrink in on himself with worry and confusion.

"Harry? Are you alright?" he asked the new shaking boy.

"I'm scared." Harry whispered, turning wide eyes to Draco. Somewhere in Harry's mind, he wondered how he had come to truth Draco so quickly. It wasn't normal for him. He didn't make friends. And yet…

"What? Why are you scared?" Draco frowned.

"Draco…" Harry trailed off, considering. "Draco, can I trust you? You said you like that I'm blunt and say weird things, right? If I tell you why I do that, will you laugh at me and hate me?"

The small part of Harry's brain was growing louder. He shouldn't trust this boy! He didn't know him! He wouldn't be any different from the other boys! They always laugh. They say weird things just to confuse him. They make fun of him when he misses a joke or doesn't understand when someone is kidding. He will be no different!

…But Harry wanted to believe. He wanted a friend. No one had ever talked to him for this long without laughing at him. Maybe…just maybe.

"Harry? What are you talking about? What's wrong? We have to get off the train soon. We can't be late to the Sorting, you know." Draco's concern grew rapidly as he watched the Harry change from a smart, quiet, but happy boy to a fearful, shaking mess.

Draco took a step towards where Harry was set.

"Harry, you can trust me. I won't laugh at you or hate you. I'm your friend now, remember." Harry scrunched his eyes shut.

"I…I have something wrong with me. I'm a Freak. I'm not normal, Draco." A single tear escaped from under Harry's closed eyelid. His fingers were gripped tightly in his messy black hair and his head was bent down and resting on his knees that he had draw up to his chest.

Draco sat down at Harry feet and sighed.

"What the bloody hell are you talking about Harry?" Draco fixed his best scowl on Harry's bent head. "You're not a freak."

Harry shook his head.

"Tell me. Why do you think you're a freak?" Draco demanded, not at all use to this sort of situation.

"Cause I'm Autistic." Harry sniffed, slowly looking up through his lashes to gauge Draco's reaction closely.

Draco looked at Harry, confused.

"Um…Harry? I don't know what that means…" Draco scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

Harry's head came up a little, a curious look stealing over his face.

"You don't know what Autism is?" He asked quietly.

"No. I have no idea." Draco shook his head, a single stand of his blond hair breaking free of the gel and falling into his face. Aggravated, he shoved it back into place before continuing.

"Look, I don't know what you mean by Atism or whatever, but I just spent that past 5 hours talking to you and hanging out with you. What most people don't understand is Slytherin stick with their own. I'm not going to ditch you cause you have been deluded into believing you are a freak or whatever. Ok? Now seriously. We have to go." With that Draco stood, pulled Harry up off the bench, gathered his truck and belongings up and started for the door.

Draco paused at the door and looked back at a frozen Harry.

"You coming or what?"

Harry scrambled to put his things into their place and hurried after the blond boys retreating form, watching Draco with nothing short of awe and wonder.

Never once did it occur to him that he had completely forgotten about his meltdown from a few seconds ago. Draco's words were ringing in his ears.

So there is Chapter 2! Hope it didn't suck! I also have a question for you guys!
