I saw Granger whilst shopping in Diagon Ally today, she was with the Weaselette shopping for school supplies so I guess she is heading back to Hogwarts this term. I myself will be heading back as my mother still wishes me to finish my education. My father on the other hand is unheard of, I haven't bothered to visit him since they threw his sorry arse into Azkaban, good riddance too.

I have decided to keep a journal to help with the post traumatic stress of having the dark lord living under my roof, that man was a monster and I still can't believe that saint Potter actually managed to kill him once and for all. You can never be sure though.. A man like that must always have something hidden up his sleeve. I remember my father once talking about He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named making Horcruxes, evil magic that is, and if that is the case then Potter's battles have just begun..

Anyway, I saw Granger today and I decided to try make emends with her over the last few years of constant name calling and hurt I had caused her. Now that I don't have the pressure of my father and his pro-pure blood standards constantly nagging at me I have had time to mature and come to the realisation that it doesn't matter what ones blood is, it only matters what ones actions are. Granger accepted my apology but said that it wouldn't change how she felt about me. Not that I was intending to become friends with her, I just wanted to clear out the bad air between us.

It seems as though Potter and the Weasel aren't planning to go back to Hogwarts this term so I will have to find another way to contact them to apologise for my rudeness.

My mother allowed me to buy a new owl this year as the dark lord demanded that my last one was fed to that bloody snake of his. I chose a tiny dark brown scoops owl, the woman at the desk told me that it was just hatched, and named him Fletcher. Since I have gotten home he has already fell out of his perch twice and has only stopped chirping once and that was when he thought he would make a snack out of my little finger. I am beginning to regret buying such a loud owl but I am also becoming quite attached to the little fluff ball.

I do wonder how many students will be repeating their 7th year this term, the only Slytherins I know of who are coming back are Blaise, Astoria, Theodore and Myself. Although, I'm pretty sure Theodore is only going back because Astoria is, he is totally in love with her but she only has eyes for Potter. Saint Potter, of course she would be into him, the fame, the fortune, the good friends, he has it all. Most people think is Slytherins are just sly and cunning, but we also want power, and boy has Potter got power.

Alright! That chapter was really short sorry! But I just don't know what else to say for Draco at the moment! Please tell me what you think so far, do you like this mor gentle, jealous side of Draco? I really like the plan I have for this story so the updates should be coming quicker now that I am back on wattpad. I am also putting the date for the diary entries as the chapter title so no one gets confused (especially me)! Next up will be Hermione's shopping experience!
