I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER, ALL RIGHT BELONG TO JK ROWLING AND ANYONE ELSE WITH ANY RIGHTS TO HARRY POTTER.

"I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." the blond haired boy in front of me said, holding out his hand for a handshake.

The boy beside me snorts, and I glare at him "What gives you the right to snort at him? So far, he has better manners than you do." The redhead glares but doesn't respond.

I take the blond boys, Draco's, hand. "I'm Harry, Harry Potter. its a pleasure to meet you Draco."

He nods and smiles, then stands next to me, shooing away the too large boys behind him. I smile back and stay with him.

A moment later, we are led into a large hall to be sorted, and when its Draco's turn I pay attention closly to see where he'll go. "SLYTHERIN" the hat shouts.

when its my turn I grip the edges of the stool and start to whisper "Slytherin, Slytherin, Slytherin, please put me in Slytherin" a moment later, the hat shouts out "SLYTHERIN!!!"

The next moment, the hall is dead silent, and I go to sit next to Draco, who moves over to make room.

We sit silently until the sorting is over, then begin to speak about things such as how we look forward to classes, and what to expect.

When we get to the dorm, there is one to few beds, and I grab a blanket and pillow, then make a pallet on the floor.

Draco looks down at me, "What are you doing?" he asks quietly.

"Umm, going to bed, there are to few beds." I murmur back.

He holds down a hand "Keep the pillow, but you can share my bed, there's plenty of room Harry"

"You mean it?" I ask incredulously.

"Of course I mean it. We're friends, you can share my bed, and my blanket. But bring your own pillow"

"Okay" I murmur, then crawl into the bed with you, curling into a ball with my pillow under my head and covered by the blanket.

Draco pulls me closer, holding me to help me calm down. He speaks softly "Hey, shhh, everything is okay Harry. I promise, no one will hurt you for sleeping in the bed."

I slowly relax in his grip, cuddling closer and falling alseep next to him.

The next morning I wake up breathing hard after a nightmare, I was silently screaming and shaking.

Draco woke up and started to rub my shoulders. "Hey, what happened Harry?"

"It was just a memory of the Dursleys. They're my muggle relatives, and they didn't like me much"

"What do you mean by that?" Draco asked gently, still rubbing my back

"They abused me. physical, mental, and emotional. and..." I trail off for a moment "Sexual."

Draco held me closer and started hating on the Dursleys, promising me vengeance.

"Draco! I'll be fine." I say loudly, to get over his shouts of vengeance.

He stops shouting and just hold me tight to him, like he wants to keep me safe from them.

"We need to get up and go to breakfast" I say, getting out of bed to get dressed in my uniform.

Draco grumbles but gets out of bed as well, getting dressed quickly yet neatly, then spends at least 20 minutes on his hair.

"You're such a pretty pretty princess" I teas

"Shut it and lets go to breakfast." He snaps playfully with a shove to my ribs.

"Gladly.* I laugh as we walk out the door.
