11th September, 11:00. At platform 9¾:
It was the first time for Draco Malfoy that he was at the platform. He hadn't older siblings, so he never came here before. Of course he knew what to do, he just had to go through the barrier between platform nine and ten. But when he was standing before it, nevertheless, he was a little bit scared. But then he heard his father's voice:"Come on!! Or are you scared?!? Never forget: You are a Malfoy and a Malfoy isn't scared of going to platform 9¾!" But Draco's mother said: "But it is ok to be a little bit excited, so was I, too. We will go first, so Draco can see it's ok." So, after his parents Draco just ran through the barrier and there he was: Platform 9¾! The big red Hogwartsexpress was already there and without wanting it, Draco was really impressed. Then, suddenly he heard someone call: "Attention!"
But he was too slow and while he was still standing before the barrier of platform 9¾, a other person runs through it. Directly in Draco. It was a girl, roughly in Draco's age. And a very pretty girl thought Draco. "Oh...Sorry" both said at the same time. Then there was a little silence, interrupted by Draco's Dad that called Draco to come. "Ahhh... sorry again. I have to go to my parents now. Probably see you in Hogwarts." Draco means and run to his parents before the girl can say something.
After Draco has said good bye to his parents he went into the train in the compartment where his best friends Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle already sat. They talked about Hogwarts but Draco's thoughts always switched to the girl from the train station. He didn't know why but he really wants to know her better. Hopefully she will be in Slytherin 'cause Draco will be there for sure. His whole family was in Slytherin.
Then Draco's thoughts got interrupted by a girl opened the door of the compartment and asked "Can I sit here?"
"Yeah, of course." Draco answered. "Thanks." The girl said and sat down beside Draco. "I am Pansy. And you are?"
"Oh, I am Draco Malfoy. And I'm a pureblood, I hope so are you." "Yes, of course!" Pansy anwsered fast. Abrupt they heard a voice: "Anything from the trolley, dears?" "No!" Draco and Pansy answered coincidentally. The trolley lady went away and nobody knowed what to talk about, so it was silent. After a while Crabbe asked Pansy: "Do you already know in which House you'll be in?" "I think Slytherin. And if not, I'd left the school. Anyway I think Durmstrang would be a better school for me." "Yes, I think so, too. And I will be in Slytherin for sure. My whole family was."
After they talked a little bit more Draco asked if they wanted to go a little bit trough the train. "I've heard that Harry Potter is in the train, maybe we find him" he tells the others. Crabbe and Goyle agreed immediately but Pansy says that she isn't in the right mood, so Draco, Vincent and Gregory went alone. And as they opened the first cabin, Draco saw the boy he already met in the Diagonally at Madame Malkins. "Is it true?" he said. "They're saying all down the train that Harry Potter's in this compartment. So it's you, is it?" "Yes," said the boy. Draci saw that he was looking at the other boys. "Oh, this is Crabbe and this is Goyle.", he explained, "And my name's Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." The other boy in the compartment gave a quit hiding snigget. a slight cough, which might have been hiding a snigget. For Draco it was clear that this must be a Wealsey, so he said "Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask who you are. My father told me all the Weasleys have red hair, freckles, and more children than they can afford." He turned back to Harry. "You'll soon find out some wizarding families are much better than others, Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there." Draco held out his hand to shake Harry's. "I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks," Harry answers and Harry didn't take Draco's Hand. Draco is a little Bit shamed and offended. Additionally his father wanted that he become a friend with Potter. "I'd be careful if I were you, Potter," he said slowly. "Unless you're a bit politer you'll go the same way as your parents. They didn't know what was good for them, either. You hang around with riffraff like the easleys and that Hagrid, and it'll rub off on you." Then Harry and the Weasley stood up and the Weasley said: "Say that again," Draco laughs a bit. "Oh, you're going to fight us, are you?" He knew that both wouldn't had a chance against him, Crabbe and Goyle. "Unless you get out now," Potter anwsered but Draco hears that he is a little bit scared even he pretended to be brave. "But we don't feet like leaving, do we, boys? We've eaten all our food and you still seem to have some." Draco knows that they yet haven't food but as he saw all the sweets he really liked to have some. Goyle reached toward the Chocolate Frogs next to the Weasley and he leapt forward, but before he'd so much as touched Goyle, Goyle let out a horrible yell. Draco saw a rat hanging off his finger, sharp little teeth sunk deep into Goyle's knuckle - Crabbe and Malfoy backed away as Goyle swung his hand round and round, howling. Then finally the rat flew off on the window and Draco, Vincent and Greogry left the compartment. On their way back, the girl from the train station came towards to them and Draco said:"Hey." But either she didn't hear him or she just ignores him. Back in their compartment they all were in a bad mood. Pansy realised it and asked why. Vincent explained shortly and then they heard an announcement:"We will be reaching Hogwarts in five minutes' time. Please leave your luggage on the train, it will be taken to the school separately." So they all put their robes on. And then at last they reach the train station to Hogwarts.
That was the first chapter. I hope you liked it and I am sorry for the bad English.(I'm not a native speaker.) I'd be very thankful for tips in the comments. To be continued soon.
