Draco Malfoy Imagines

{short story}

"NO! Please don't! PLEASE!"

screamed the voice of Athena Shaw,
right before Voldemort took away the life of the last person that she truly cared about.

{ 3 years later }

She was only sixteen. And yet she had already been put through a lifetime of sadness.
Athena prepared all of her belongings and headed to the train station that would take her to the Hogwarts Express. It was going to be a new experience for Athena. She had never gone to a proper wizarding school; instead, she had been brought up and taught by death eaters. Athena herself was not a Death-Eater yet, but she might as well have been one.

Athena boarded the Hogwarts Express and chose a seat in an empty compartment near the back of the train. The doors suddenly opened to the compartment and a boy with very pale hair strutted in.
He took one look at Athena and her surroundings and said in an extremely rotten tone,

"And who are you?"

She replied indifferently,

"Athena Shaw, this is my first year at Hogwarts."

Draco rolled his eyes,

"Brilliant, the only empty compartment in the train and its occupied by some new person."

Athena lowered her eyes at the boy,

"And is that a problem?" She asked whilst maintaining straight eye contact.

Draco crossed his arms.

"Yes, in fact, I would love it if you would kindly run along and find somewhere else to occupy yourself."
He replied.

"No."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me- I'm not moving." Athena said harshly.

"You clearly do not know who I am. I will make your year here at Hogwarts a living hell. Now go."
Malfoy snapped.

"I may not know who you are, but you are forgetting that you do not know me either. You don't know what I'm capable of." Athena stated and with that she pulled out her wand and said a spell that promptly pushed the Malfoy backwards, out of the compartment, and closed the doors shut.

Draco sat on the floor speechless.

Who did she think she was?
Normally girls would do anything he asked, at the blink of an eye.
This girl was going to have major consequences coming her way.

*flash forward to the Sorting Hat Ceremony*

"Athena Shaw..Hmm.. not much doubt in my mind about where to put you...
you're cunning..ambitious...secretive
..you belong in...

SLYTHERIN!" The Sorting Hat declared.

Athena walked towards the Slytherins with an unsurprised look on her face. She sat down at a table with some random students from her house.
Athena didn't bother talking to them, after all, she didn't come to Hogwarts to build relationships. Getting attached to someone was the last thing on her mind. She looked around her and met the glare of Draco Malfoy. She rolled her eyes and ignored him.

The next morning Athena woke up and got ready.
It was a plain first day filled with plain peers and plain professors. She sighed and wished that her outlook on life was a little more exciting.
But truly, she didn't care about much anymore,
only self-preservation. And to do that she had to follow the orders she was given.
Athena Shaw was not a Death-Eater, but Voldemort had plans to use her even more so than many of his cloaked followers.
Athena was bound to his service, simply because if she chose otherwise, she would be killed.
