September 1st

"Welcome back to another glorious year at Hogwarts, Now we have 2 changes in staffing this year" Dumbledore started

"Bloody hell here we go" Draco rolled his eyes

"Please welcome professor Horace Slughorn who will be taking over as potions master whilst professor Snape will be taking over Defence against the dark arts" he continued

"Finally gave Snape defence against the dark arts then!" I laughed

"He's been waiting his whole life for this moment" Alina added

"Now the first year sorting may begin!" Dumbledore spoke again

"Fucks sake! I'm hungry let me eat!" Pansy whined

"This is going to take bloody ages!" Alina groaned

~~~~~~~

The first years were finally sorted and we were allowed to begin eating.

We all slid the fresh food onto our plates and tucked in.

Once we were finished we all headed to the common room together and to our dorms to unpack.

Me, pansy and Alina shared a dorm.

We flipped open our trunks and unloaded our things.

"What do you think the new potions teacher will be like?" Alina asked

"Cant be worse than snape!" Pansy answered

"I heard he's an old friend of Dumbledore and used to work here" pansy added

"How is it you know everything that goes on in this school?" I asked her

"What! I hear things!" She retorted

"More like listen in!" Alina responded and we all laughed at the fact that pansys nosey.

We finished unloading our trunks and changed into pyjamas as it was late.

"What lessons do you guys have tomorrow?" Alina asked

"Charms, herbology, transfiguration and potions"
I replied

"Oooh I have the same!" Pansy squealed

"I have charms, divination, dada and potions" Alina replied

"At least we have some lessons together" pansy replied

We climbed into our beds ready to go to sleep after a long tiring journey.

Alina turned off the lights.

"Night!" Pansy called out

"Night!" Me and Alina said in unison.

I heard soft snores coming from pansy and I could see that Alina was asleep.

I couldn't sleep at all.

I got up quietly and tiptoed down to the common room.

There was someone else there.

I saw the platinum blonde hair.

Draco.

"What are you doing up?" I whispered to him as I sat down beside him.

"I could ask you the same" he replied

"Couldn't sleep" I replied

"Neither" he said back

"Looks like we had the same idea" I said

"Looks that way doesn't it" he said

We sat in silence for a moment and I noticed Draco in a trance watching the fire.

"What you thinking about?" I asked

"Your fathers task" he replied looking into my eyes

"He must be mad if he thinks we can do that" he added

"He is mad didn't you notice before?" I laughed and we smiled together

"Do you think we'll be able to do it?" He asked

"We have to be able to" I said

"My mother, she made the unbreakable vow with Severus to protect us" he stated

"She made the unbreakable vow with him? That's risky If my father found out he would go mental" I said

"They're both aware of the risks but still decided to do it, knowing my mothers life is involved makes me worry more about completing his task" he admitted

"However unrealistic this task is I promise we will be successful I will make sure it is done. for your sake, for your mothers sake and everyone else this endangers" I said to comfort him

"I've always admired the way your willing to protect others even if it pulls you down" he said turning soft for a moment

"I just want the people I care about to be safe" I replied

"We'll get through it together" he said looking into my eyes again

I've known Draco since I was born and I'm probably the person that knows the most about him as is the same with me.

I've always noticed that he puts up strong walls around his feeling and emotions which results in him appearing rude or arrogant but I know deep down he does what is right.

He's always there for me when I need him, especially when I have to deal with my father.

I've also had a crush on him since like 3rd year but I never said anything as we were close friends and I didn't want to ruin anything.

We had gone through practically everything together and the last thing being him getting his dark mark during summer.

I had gotten mine after my father returned in 4th year and I knew what he was going through and how to comfort him.

Also due to my father and his hatred for me I had taught myself hundreds of spells and potions beyond my years curriculum so that I could defend myself against him.

I had been facing his hatred since the day I was born.

My mother gave birth to me with many difficulties and ended up passing away minutes after I was born.

My father blamed me for 'killing my mother'

I know every other wizard blames me as well, if I wasn't born she wouldn't have died and my father wouldn't have gone bad.

The love he had for her was the last good thing about him.

After her death he turned cold and bitter.

That's where his dark side bloomed from.

Every day I live with the memories of how he tortured me.

His own daughter.

People at school don't talk to me much. Either because their scared of me or the fact that they don't like me for being lord Voldemorts daughter.

I mean I can't blame them.

I'm just glad for my group of friends that see past all that and accept me as I am.

I couldn't ask for greater people.
