One Love One Chance

Sharp Pains and New Houses

Summer went by slow and I was starting to notice changes in my body, I had grown taller and my eyes had got this golden color that I honestly couldn't explain. But there was also a longing for something, I'm not really sure what for but I just rubbed it off as jitters from the war. After we had returned home everything went back to normal with Voldemort gone and everything, we were finally starting to become a real family again. My mother told me the story of how when Voldemort "killed" potter that she knew he was alive so she saved his life. But I still despise that scar-head with a passion.
As I got up from bed I kept thinking about what Hogwarts would be like, Would it be totally destroyed or and in ruins or, would the old git Dumbledore have used a charm to repair it back to it's shining glory.
I can't believe that I still have to spend another year at that godawful school to begin with when I could be enjoying my life doing more useful things like learning how to run the Malfoy manor once it gets passed down to me.
Suddenly I heard a "pop" and there was dibby, our un-useful house-elf in tattered rags as always.
"Master Draco Sir, your father would like you to come down for breakfast before you have to leave for the train to Hogwarts sir."
"Tell him I shall be down in a few minutes."
"Dibby shall do as master Draco informed."
And with that another pop sounded in the room and he was gone.
I hurried and picked out some robes, black with the Malfoy crest on them, that should do nicely. As I descended down the stairs to meet with my family at our long dining table I sat quietly then a variety of all of our favorite foods appeared in front of us. After I had begun picking out my breakfast and putting it on my plate,
Suddenly I got a sharp pain all over my body as I winced my father gave me a displeasing look, Malfoy's never show signs of pain, anywhere.
After inspecting me for about two more minuets he looked away from me and gave my mother a look that I couldn't quite make out, was it knowing??
"Draco" my father spoke up rather abruptly, "I believe you have come of age to get a mate. Giving the circumstances you only have a year to find your mate, we will give you three weeks at Hogwarts to find her then we will travel around the world to look for her so you can provide a new heir"
"Him, father it's a him. And what makes you so sure that I need a mate to become my other half, I'm fine on my own."
"Yes Draco a mate, as I'm sure you know I am a Vella so that means that I have passed down Vella blood to you. Your body usually starts changing in such ways, but it's not always the same." It's a little early seeing as you're not 18 yet but that could only mean that your mate has come of age."
And just like that another sharp pain came down and it only got worse this time.
"Come on Draco, the more you deny it the worse the pain will get." My mother said with sorrow? In her eyes, I never likes her and now she's taking his side, who does she think she is on this matter.
"NO, this is crazy I don't need a mate and I will never need one either." I siad as I got up and stormed off in to my room for time to think to myself.
I looked in the mirror and studied myself carefully thinking about what my father had said
"Your body usually starts changing in such ways, but there not always the same."
I then noticed my eyes were way more gold this morning and I seemed to have sharper hearing and smelling. But who was I kidding even if I am a Vella and I have Vella blood in my veins I will never need a mate.

Later that day.

It's been a few hours and it was time to leave for the train to Hogwarts. I had fallen asleep after my "outburst" earlier and they haven't bothered me since. So I grabbed all of my packed trunks and was about to step out when I noticed I didn't have my family's ring on. I quickly searched for it, after I found it sitting in my dresser drawer I slipped it on and made my way down the flights of stairs.
The ride to the train station wasn't that long. No one was talking so we just rode in silence and I would glance at my father just to see if he's being serious about the mating thing but I couldn't tell.
As we got to the train station it had been how it always had, it wasn't to packed but it had a decent amount of people in it as well. Once we got to platforms nine and ten, we ran though the portal that separates us wizards from muggles, we had said our goodbyes and just before I stepped on the train my father pulled me back and slipped a paper into my pocket, and he whispered into my ear, open this when you believe me about your mate.
Of course I didn't believe him but I still nodded at him to show that I understood. And with that this time I got on the train and was off on my way to Hogwarts for my last school year.
As I got on the train I noticed some things were different, people were on edge probably because of the war that had taken place.
I didn't spit any first years. Maybe they were in the back or something, but who honestly cared about them? I walked down the hallway and sat down in a compartment with my "friends" Blaize Zambini, and Pansy Parkinson.
"Where are Crabbe and Goyle" I asked.
"They haven't showed up yet." Came Pansy's reply.
A loud bang was heard and suddenly they appeared in a seat on either side of me, the ride seemed to take longer than normal but I really didn't mind because it just gave my more time to think.
When we arrived at the school I noticed that there were still no first years to be seen, that's wierd. I walked along the platform a little more just to be stopped by Hagrid, now this one right here I wish I could hex.
"LISTEN UP EERYONE" he said, "As you might have noticed that there are no first yers here that bcause of a new rule that tha ministry has made, so if everyone would please follow me."
We all looked around confused and I just followed the old hag instead of questioning him. when we got up to the castle It looked just like it did the first year I arrived here. I didn't want to say it but Hogwarts was like a second home to me and I'd miss it if there was nothing but piles of rubble everywhere.
As we walked through the huge double doors that belonged too the castle we walked in and found our way to the dining hall as usual. Once everyone was seated in there proper houses Dumbledore began,
"Students of Hogwarts, as I'm sure your aware of there are no first years this year. There are some new rules that I'm sure you all have been informed of all ready but you only know them to a certain extent."
And with that he stepped aside and let the minister of magic speak'
"Hello, I am displeased with the happenings of last year and am quite sorrowful for all of the losses we've had and, of what I am about to tell you, the first rule is that whomever shall get sorted out of there houses should not be counted as a traitor or a disloyal member. And now for the second piece of this is that everyone in the school of Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry must be resorted into different houses."
WHAT, this is an outrage, a scandal.
Everyone began  talking at once and voicing there opinion on this matter.
Then screaming began , the cry of the 4 houses not being heard by the professor
"SILENCE" Dumbledore bellowed, as everyone quieted down the minister began to speak again,
"The rules are final and if you object or try to break any of your new rules then you will speak with me on the matter."
And with that everyone finally shut up and payed attention again.
Professor Mcgonagall stepped up with the sorting hat in her hands and a piece of parchment in the other and she began to read.
"Ronald Wesley"
Ron strutted up to the stage looking rather scared like he might piss his pants any second. As he sat on the stool the hat spoke,
"Interesting I see, Hufflepuff'
"BLOODY HELL" I want a redo.
"There are no redoes mr Wesley I'm sorry, please sit down with your new table and try to look happy.
"Hermione Granger,"
"Ah I see, this will do very nicely,
"RAVENCLAW"
"Harry Potter!" Now this should be interesting.
"Hmph, we meet again Mr Potter, I gave you an option last time, but there are no exceptions this time around." And with that.
"SLYTHERIAN"
WHAT, THATS IMPOSSIBLE, no way
Everyone was saying at once.
Potter walked over to our table hesitantly and sat down right in front of me.
Well well Potter looks like we're gonna be roomies.
Once everyone had been resorted into different houses some stayed with there original placement.
Just as everyone was about to get up and leave Dumbledore stood up and said one last thing,
"You will all welcome your new housemates fairly and by all means there will be no tolerance for fighting of any kind for all students.
Game on Potter.
