Heart of a Servant

Chapter 5: Office issues

Draco P.O.V.

"Hello Mr. Black. I'm Mist the Hat. I work for your family for years. It's nice to finally get to stay with you family once again."

Confused, we all left the hat be as it had practically glued itself to me. The next step was to change my name. I signed to relinquish the names Lucious and Malfoy and adopted Marian Black. Its not like it was a big secret but sure as right had people who I didn't want knowing about this. I'm sure you can guess who.

It would take some time for it to be official. I didn't mind the wait. Not like I had much else to do with this accursed slave system in place. I'm greatful that no one here had known just yet but I was getting my hopes up. I was still a prisoner even with everything happening. It didn't help that I could hear the whispers from everyone. I mean I'm not exactly welcomed here. Much less by the fans of my unfortunate owner and stalker.

I was 90% sure he hated me. They only reason for the missing 10% is because I'm alive. But I think its more or less safe to assume that its just some odd form of revenge only that git can pull off. Quite frankly, I wasn't in the mood to even be at this school but low and behold I have to listen to "Grand Master Potter, Savior of the wizarding world."

I made my way to my little hidden place that not even Potter knew about. I continued to practice my wandless magic as it was clear as day that I didn't have one. Thinking about my situation I know I'm SUPPOSED to hate Potter but I don't and I never have. Dislike yes but hate is a bit much. It took some time for me to realise but... where was I supposed to stay now? Like a saint this strange hat had my answers. It wasn't one that I was to excited to hear. I had to go to McGonagall because I just had to be put into ravenclaw. It's not like I was going to stop sneaking around but it made no difference the house when everyone in the wizarding world hates you.

I made my way to McGonagall's office. I knocked on the door and entered when I heard someone reply for me to enter. As I walked in I was ever so warmly greeted by the golden trio and a very on guard McGonagall with there wands all pointed at me. In a panic a raised my hands and leaned back against the wall. If I'm being quite honest, I'm a bit confused.

McGonagall: "What are you planning Malfoy?"
Draco: "I beg your pardon?"
Weasley: "Don't play dumb Malfoy. No one has ever been able to change houses. Much less get another hat from it."

Of course it was the damn weasel to be the first to make life much difficult. I hadn't even done anything and I get put on trial. They were so focused on me that they hadn't noticed that Potter had put down his wand.

Granger: "Give us the hat and explain what your planning Malfoy. No one has to get hurt."

Pfft. I couldn't help but start laughing. They all seemed confused but how could I not laugh.

Draco: "sorry to disappoint but I have some very unfortunate information for you three. Firstly, the sorting hat more or less outed Potter to me and chose to put me in Ravenclaw without my asking much less permission. Also I'd have to ask what you expect a person who is forced by law to be a slave and clearly to your forgetfulness doesn't have a wand due to giving it to a certain someone in the war to defeat the dark lord."

They all looked shocked and confused. It seemed very clear that they were not very well informed. Then low and behold the next round of questions began.

Granger: "What do you mean by the hat outed Harry."
Draco: "Well Granger. As that is the most important concern here as you are very welcomingly pointing your want at an unarmed individual, the hat explained that golden boy over there chose the house he wanted to be in despite being most suited for Slytherin. If I'm quite honest I agree with the hat with the amount of stalking and sneaking around that Potter does."

Embarrassed, the three had finally put down there wands before continuing. Oddly, I'm shocked they haven't realised the only reason why I haven't lied or left is because Potter was in this god forsaken room and I had to find out about the rooming situation. I at most expected to be in a room of my own.

Weasley: "what about this so called slave system."
Draco: "I'm shocked. I thought u would've known. If you want an answer to that speak with Pottah."

Changing the topic as soon as possible Potter asked a question of his own.

Potter: " Why haven't you taken the hat off?"
Draco: "Because Mist claims to have 0 intent on moving from my head whether I like it or not. The reason however doesn't involve anyone in this room."
McGonagall: "and does she have any evil plans?"
Mist: "Ma'am, I don't know who you think you are but you think to much of your world."

I couldn't agree more with a hat in my life. Not to mention, it doesn't seem to like talking to much less like anyone around me. I wasn't complaining but I feel as though it might get me into some trouble if it ever leaves my head now.

Draco: "If all your unnecessary questioning is over, I'd like to know where I would be staying. I'm not quite sure if I'm permitted to be in the Slytherin dorms much less anywhere else."
McGonagall: "Mr. Malfoy. You'll be staying in the Slytherin dorms like you always have. You are there head after all."

Draco: "Of course I am. I am the only one in this school that gives a damn about any of those kids."

Harry: "What do you mean by that?"
