Chapter 5

Harry got up the next morning in the same manner, so by his screeching aunt.

His uncle came downstairs during breakfast asking Harry where he'd been.

Harry's answer was simple. "At the library."

His uncle grunted not really caring.

Petunia on the other hand was upset.

"You should not go out of the house like that, I needed you to plant some Rhododendrons today. I do need to win the neighborhood's best garden prize!"

'God, it's the only thing she cares about!'

Harry thought.

Well it did come in handy since he didn't have to come up with a whole story.

1 month a week and one day later…

He took the bus to kings-cross station.

He'd escaped early that morning and left a note on the kitchen table.

Dear sweet family,

I have been accepted to Hogwarts and haven't decided to inform you until just now.

You won't have to put up with me for 10 whole months!

I hope you have a wonderful year,

Harry

PS: I hope I can return to a bedroom next year, imagine what the teachers might say about the cupboard?

He didn't want to deal with them so he chickened out and wrote a letter.

He'd gone to a café and had a sandwich (BLT), which was scrumptious.

Then at 10:50 he'd gone to the barrier.

Harry got onto the train, he headed for a compartment, found one (somewhere in the middle so Ron couldn't find him) and closed the curtains.

He got dressed in everyday wizard robes and re-shrunk his trunk.

He headed down the corridor till he found the compartment where Ron would find him and got out a book.

5 minutes later Ron barged into his compartment asking if he could sit down.

Harry 'hummed' and ignored him.

15 minutes into the silence (with Ron fidgeting, and Harry secretly smirking from behind his book) Hermione decided to grace them with her presence.

"Have you seen a toad?"

She asked.

Harry shook his head and kept reading.

Hermione lifted her chin and glanced at Ron

Nudging her head at Harry.

Then she said, "what are you reading? I've read all of the books already."

Harry ignored her.

"Uhum, excuse me? What was your name?"

Just when Harry was deciding to humor her and answer or not, a voice answered from behind her.

"It's only polite to introduce yourself first."

Hermione turned around and Harry got a glance of the speaker's face.

Hermione decided to 'humpf' and leave while leaving Ron to stay there as a third wheel.

Then the boy stuck out his and and lifted his chin while saying "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, my name is Draco Malfoy."

Ron snickered.

"You think my name's funny do you?"

Draco snarled at Ron.

"The pleasure is all mine, I am Harry Potter."

Ron let out a (very fake) gasp.

Harry ignored him, and Draco smirked at that.

"Well, if you would join me and my friends in our compartment down the corridor?"

Draco asked in perfect pureblood-etiquette.

Ron tried to interrupt.

"Excus Harry cut him off.

"Sure, let me just get my books."

Ron was fuming by then.

Then Harry turned and put on a surprised face.

"I'm sorry? Do I know you?"

Draco snickered.

Ron's face was turning a putrid shade of purple

At this point and was about to say something when Harry turned back to Draco and said"Well then, shall we?"

Draco was turning red but for a completely different reason by then, you could tell he was trying, and failing to keep his indifferent pure-blood façade up.

They left the compartment and went to Draco's where all of his friends were and Harry got introduced.

They kept up with their pure-blood speak and had some interesting conversations till someone stopped by their compartment door.

"Draco, tut-tut letting a half-blood into our exclusive compartment now are we?" Snape said as he passed 5 minutes later.

"Excuse-me sir, but I'm actually a pure-blood from my mother's side as on my father's."

Harry answered.

"Oh yes? And who would you be then boy?"

"Harry Potter."

Harry answered.

"Yes, well then I'm sorry to have to break this to you (he didn't sound sorry at all) , but your mother was a muggleborn."

Harry smirked.

"I'm sorry sir but the goblins at Gringott's

told me that my mother was the heiress of the Machiavelli family. So technically I am a pure-blood."

Snape's expression was unreadable except for a little frown in between his eyes (which was hard to see as it was).

"And why weren't we notified of this particular piece of information if she was?"

Snape snapped.

"Well, the goblins told me it would be quite a scandal if the papers found out a pure-blood heiress was brought up by muggles."

Harry smirked again, he had gotten Snape! Haha!

Snape's expression turned stone-cold.

"Well that is an interesting piece of information."

Snape (kind of) snarled back.

Snape turned on his heel and left with a billow of his cloak.

Draco wolf whistled.

"You got him there."

"Who was that?" Harry questioned.

Pansy answered. "That was professor Severus Snape, head of house Slytherin."

"Ah." Was all Harry said to that.

"So, what were you saying about being a pure-blood?"

Draco asked.

They kept up conversation until they got an announcement that they would soon be arriving.

A/N: Well, that was fun :D

I'm going to do the sorting in the next chapter since it would be getting a bit long otherwise.
