It is a warm morning on August 30. In two days, you will start your first day as a sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In your first year, you were sorted as a Gryffindor and you couldn't be happier. Your parents and all of your friends were sorted into Gryffindor, so you are apart of the legacy of brilliant witches and wizards coming out of Gryffindor. This morning, you and your mum are headed to Diagon Alley to find all of your school supplies for your first day.
Mum: "Y/n! Come on hun, it's time to get a move on."
Y/n: "Coming!"
You grabbed a few things and walked over to tell your black cat Gypsy goodbye. She gave you a quiet meow goodbye and you walked out of your room. You headed down stairs and walked into your living room. Your mom picked up her bag and keys and headed out to your car. Car? Is it a flying car? No floo powder or port key? Nope, just a simple and normal car. Your parents are muggles. Which would make you a mudblood, but that doesn't matter because all witches and wizards are equal, even though some don't think so. You got in the passenger seat and your mum headed to the phone booth that will take you to the Ministry of Magic. Even though it was invaded the year prior, it is up and running for the most part. Here is where you can take a floo power route to Diagon Alley. Once you dialed the right number, you made your way into the Ministry of Magic. You walked over to the Diagon Alley fireplace. You and your mom threw the floo powder onto the floor below you and shouted, "Diagon Alley!!"
You finally arrived to Diagon Alley and there were many witches and wizards there as well preparing for the first day of school.
You walked from store to store picking out exactly what you needed. New robes, books, quills and ink, potion material, and especially a new broom. You are on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. You are a chaser and are so excited to win the Quidditch cup this year. While in the store, you looked at different gear and brooms.
Mum: "Y/n. What about this one?"
She was pointing at a Nimbus 2000.
Y/n: "Mum, you know we cant afford that."
Mum: "Baby, if you want it we can get it."
Y/n: "I dont want to make you spend that much money on me. Plus I already have one in mind." You looked over at another, less expense option, that you know will still do the job.
Mum: "Whatever you want love."
You picked up the broom and started to turn around and Whack! As you were looking at the brooms and platinum blonde boy walked past you with his mum heading out of the store. Your book fell out of your hands as he straightened himself to look at you. Your eyes met a pair of beautiful blue eyes.
Boy: "Watch where you are swinging that!"
You snapped out of it and worry came over you.
Y/n: "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention."
Boy: "Clearly!"
Y/n: "I'm truly sorry, cant I get you anything? An ice pack, some sort of healing intent from down the street? That's a nasty cut."
You lifted your hand to his face with your thumb near the cut. Then it dawned on you. That was Draco Malfoy. Draco Malfoy is in the same year as you and has made life a living hell for many Gryffindors. His family are pure bloods and have hated mudbloods for years. You and him have never formally met so he doesn't know much about you, but you hope that never happens.
Draco: "No! You have already done enough damage! Now if you will excuse us!" He took his mums arm and walked out of the store.
You watched him walk out. Shock on your face, but honestly should we be surprised how he acted. You picked up your things and headed to the check out.
*Dracos perspective*
He walked down the streets of Diagon Alley to the dark entrance to Knockturn Alley. He continued walking with his mum until they reached a store called Borgia and Burke. Whilst in there, more people came in as well. Inside this store was a cabinet of one sort that Draco had never seen before.
Draco: "What is it?"
Narcissi Malfoy: "A vanishing cabinet."
Draco: "What does it do?"
*back to you*
You finished up your shopping. You walked out of the store and headed to the Leakey Cauldron for lunch. As you walked in you looked to your right and there sat the golden trio themselves. They laughed to themselves and you smiled watching them. You and your mum sat down at a table close by and you had your lunch. Harry, Hermione, and Ron had finished their lunch and started walking past your table when one of them brushed against it knocking off your knife. You leaned down to pick it up as another hand touched yours. You looked up and your eyes met a pair of green eyes hidden behind glasses.
Harry: "Sorry about that, I can be a bit clumsy."
You cleared your throat.
Y/n: "No, no its ok. Honestly I get it. This is not the first time today I have had a clumsy mistake happen to me."
You both laughed.
Harry: "Hey, you're y/n right? You are on the Quidditch team, a chaser right?"
Y/n: "Yes! Well, trying to be. I only got to play a few games last year. Every one of them we lost."
Harry: "Hey, we can always go and practice together if you want. With the right attitude and practice we can totally win this year."
Y/n: "Ya, sure!"
Harry: "Awesome! Hey, do want to ride with us to school tomorrow? There is going to be plenty of room in our car." He gestured to Ron and Hermione.
Y/n: "Sure!"
Harry: "Cant wait, see you then."
He waved and walked out with the other two. You smiled as he did so and then you looked back at your lunch. You and your mum finished up and headed back home.
*September 1st*
You woke up that more after not really getting any sleep. You are so excited for the first day back. You brought your trunk and Gypsy down stairs to lad into your car and you and your parents headed to Kings Cross Station.
*Skip car ride*
You walked into the train station and headed straight to Platforms 9 and 10 to get to Platform 9 3/4. You turned around to face your parents.
Mum: "Do you have everything?"
Y/n: "Yes mum, I promise."
Mum: "Are you sure because I can always end it in the post."
Y/n: "I am sure."
Dad: "Ok, now make sure to be on top of your studies and write us every week."
Y/n: "I will Dad. I love you both."
You gave your parents a huge hug and then took your trolley and walked through the wall onto Platform 9 3/4. There the glimmering red train was running and hundred of students were on the platform waving goodbye to their loved ones. You made your way onto the train and down the hall looking for Harry and his friends.
Voice: "Quibbler! Here have a Quibbler!"
You looked up and a blonde haired girl with crazy glasses was looking up at you with a magazine stretched out in front of her.
Girl: "Quibbler?!"
Y/n: "Oh! Yes! Thank you Luna!"
Luna: "You're so welcome!"
She smiled and walked away. You made your way down the hall to the last car and you pocked your head inside to see the golden trio sitting together looking serious.
Y/n: "Sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt you guys. I can find somewhere els-"
Harry: "No! No! We were finished anyway! Come sit."
He patted the seat next to him. You put a bag on the rack above your seat and sat down next to him with a smile. You formally introduced yourself to Hermione and Ron. The train finally left the station not long after and you were on your way to Hogwarts.
*Harrys perspective*
He looked over at you half way through the journey and your head was up against the window and you were knocked out asleep.
Harry: "I'm gonna wander for a bit."
Hermione and Ron nodded and then Harry left the car. He headed down to the other side of the train where most of the Slytherin students were. When he made it, he took a blackouts ball out of his pocket and poof! The whole Slytherin car when upon black smoke.
*Dracos Perspective*
Draco had been relaxing in this car before the black smoke appeared. Draco happens to be a Slytherin. When the black smoke appeared he jumped up from his seat and looked around, but there was nothing but smoke. He sat back down with his friends. He talked to them for a minute complaint about his dislike for Hogwarts, when he looked up for a second to see slight movement above him with his bag.
*skip train ride*
It was now night time and the train had made it to Hogwarts. Draco urged his friends to go on and he would stay back for a second to check something.
*Back in your car*
You woke up and looked to your right to see an empty seat next to you. Hermione and Ron grabbed their stuff and started walking off the train.
Y/n: "Where's Harry?!"
They both shrugged and walked away.
*In the Great Hall*
The first year sorting ceremony had finished as Dumbledore the Head Master announced the start of dinner. You had sat down by Ron and Hermione as you talked amongst yourself.
Y/n: "Where could he have gone?"
Ron: "I'm not sure, but He shouldn't be long."
You looked a round toward the door and there you saw him with a napkin to his nose. He walked over to you and the others.
Hermione: "What happened to you?"
Harry: "Long story."
He looked at you and you gave him a worried smile. Around the same time he came in you saw a familiar platinum blonde haired boy walk in as well. Draco Malfoy.
