Natalie's POV
I was walking down the cold and dark streets of Knockturn Ally, only the most daring witches and wizards travel there, I would happen to be one of them. Even though I'm only eleven, I am the most daring witch in the family, or so my mother says. In case you're wondering, I'm pure blooded, unlike some other witches and wizards I've known in my time...
"Oof!" I exclaimed when I bumped into someone, he looked around my age.
"Watch where you're going!!" He shouted at me... "My father will hear about this!" At that moment I knew exactly who this cold-hearted wizard was, it was the one and only, Draco Malfoy.
There are hundreds of rumours floating around about him, almost every person in the wizarding world knew exactly who he was, and exactly what he was like. I know that this'll sound completely ludicrous but I kind of like the boy and I don't mean in that way, I just like his living style. He's a dark wizard, people say that he could be you know who in disguise, trying to take over Hogwarts as the Dark Lord failed to do so before. There's only one person who's known more than Draco himself, and that would be Harry Potter, he survived you know who's killing curse (Avada Kedavra) then he got the nickname, The Boy Who Lived. Most wizards are petrified of him, not me though, he doesn't scare me one little bit, let alone petrify me.
I swiftly turned the corner onto Diagon Ally, it's a lot different to Knockturn Ally, it's much brighter and happier, I don't like it.. I'm only here because I need school supplies, I wanted the darkest pet you could get but there's a limited amount of choice; a cat, a toad and an owl. I stood there gazing into the window trying to think about which pet I wanted until I heard that same voice...Draco. "What were you doing in Knockturn Ally, only the most daring witches and wizards go there.." He said dragging out the word, were.
"I could ask you the same thing, Malfoy..." I hissed back at him, I am in no mood to play nice. "Woah there pussy cat... No need to get feisty.." He was trying to make small talk, I knew it by the tone of his voice. "Ha, 'Pussy Cat' bad pick up line kid, don't even try and make small talk with me, it doesn't work." I fired back at him. "As a matter of fact, I was in Knockturn Ally trying to pick a fight," I said to him, even though I was lying straight to his face, he could obviously tell. "Nice try, I'm not that stupid." He slyly said to me, "Well you sure as hell seem stupid." I said to him, I've always been amazing with comebacks, they're my specialty. "Oh no you didn't...."
"Oh yes I did!.."
"You should NOT have done that.."
"Tough luck pretty boy but I just did do that and you can't do anything about it. Haha!"
"You seem like a person that I'd wanna hang out with, see you later." That's weird he likes me. Whatever.
I decided to finally go with a owl, it was black(ish) with yellowy green eyes. Now I have to get a wand, if you're wondering where I get all my money, I got a bunch from my parents, they're rich and I'm not afraid to brag about it. I strutted into Ollivander's Wand Shop, he has the best wands in town, "I need a wand." I said bitterly, I don't necessarily like old people. "Ah, Natalie, I see you've come for a wand." How did he know my name but he just repeated what I just said, weirdo. "Obviously, that's what I just said, now, what can you find me." I still was very salty when I said it, "Give me your hand, I need to read it before I can choose you a few samples," I dropped my owl's cage on the floor and gave him my hand. "Very daring, quite bitter, adventurous hmmm I'll be one moment dear." He sauntered off into he shelves of wands that were behind him.
He came back around five minutes later with one wand in particular, "A wand made of Yew wood and a Rougarou Hair core. Perfect for a dark..uh um I mean, powerful witch like you, my dear. Run along now, you don't want to miss your train." He said, that's weird I could've sworn he said I was a dark witch, oh I'll show him dark witch.
I continued on my way, longing to get out of the blazing, hot sun of Diagon Ally, all I had to get now was uniform, textbooks and some other stuff that I might want, like some parchment, you never know when you want to write to your mum. To everyone I seem like this evil, heartless, dark witch when truly I am that, I just have a bit of a soft spot when it comes to family, I have a picture of me and my brothers, they were waving their wands at me while I was smirking, it was incredibly funny. My brothers all graduated from Hogwarts years ago and they were in Ravenclaw, all I hope is for Slytherin because, I'm not as nice as them, they have more innocence than me. They're still quite bad but nobody is as bad as me.
Here he comes again, "Hello again, I want to invite you to sit with me on the train, I want to get to know you better..." Oh he has no idea what he's getting himself into. "Draco, haven't you got that bad aura off of me yet. I'm not a nice witch and I don't think someone as innocent as you should be hanging around with a dark, evil, heartless witch like me." I decided to go full on truthful to him "Oh you think I'm innocent watch this." He took out his wand and whipped it towards Professor Rubeus Hagrid, the schools games keeper. He went flying into the air and zoomed backwards towards Knockturn Ally. "I like your style Draco, but this is what I'm talking about, to innocent to do it to his face, watch this." I walked towards Professor Flitwick and tapped him on the shoulder, he was still in shock of what had just. happened to Hagrid so he had quite a weird expression on his face. "Pullus" Flitwick shrunk down and turned into a goose, I started laughing and then Draco joined me "I guess I am a bit of a coward then, but, you NEED to teach me that!" He was still sniggering at Professor Fitwick's goose body, I feel like I'll get detention on the first day.
Me and Draco made our way to Platform Nine and 3/4, he tried to strike a conversation a few times but being the nasty witch I am, I ignored him, but I began to feel a tiny bit bad so I tried to speak to him. "Hey, sorry I was ignoring you, I don't like to be very "interactive" let's say that, I just feel like you'll be offended if I dare speak cause' it'll most likely be mean but off that topic, my names Natalie. Natalie Lestrange." He looked at me in shock,
"You're a Lestrange?!" He was still gazing at me, "I think we will get along" He said to me, I don't see why. It suddenly clicked, my mother is really good friends with Narcissa Malfoy! "I see it now, my mother is really good friends with yours, some would even say they're sisters. If you're wondering, my mother is Bellatrix Lestrange, the Dark Lord's most trusted death eater." I smirked at the end there I think Malfoy was about to open his mouth until the loud whistle of the Hogwarts train blew, "Come on Natalie, we can talk more on the train..."Welcome To: Additional Information- Leading On To~ Authors Note

Thank y for reading if you did, I am still incredibly sad over the death of Alan Rickman (the incredible actor who played Severus Snape in the Harry Potter franchise.) So many people thought of Snape as jealous of James Potter, arrogant and rude but in all honestly, he was hiding his emotions the whole time. He was a very wise wizard, maybe wiser than the elder wizard himself -Albus Dumbledoor. He had the ability to perform spells that many other witches and wizards would never be able to nearly accomplish, he made his own spells too, which is a bonus. He was the true potions master.
RIP Professor Severus Snape AKA Alan Rickman, ????-2016
You died in the movie too, so sad😔
You may be wondering, if you're dedicating this to Alan Rickman, why are you making his a Draco Malfoy fan-fiction rather than a Severus Snape one? Only true Harry Potter fans would realise, I would be one of them. Severus made an unbreakable vow to Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy, he promised that he would watch over and protect Draco, he failed to do that as he died (in the movie.) He died a warrior and Draco will continue to fight for him!
If you enjoyed this, maybe add this to your library or give it a little vote! Love you guys!
Byeeeee!!!!
