I walked over to Platform 9 and 3/4. This is it, I told myself. Today is the day you go to the school of your forefathers - and honour them or be disowned by them.

I walked straight through the wall, followed by my parents.

"Good luck, son - make sure you're in Slytherin!" my father called to me. 

"Yes, make us proud, Draco!" called my mother.

I waved goodbye and then stepped onto the train. But before I could go through the door, my father ran over, dragging Crabbe and Goyle with them.

"Hullo," one mumbled.

"Hi," muttered the other.

"Remember, you are their superior!" called Mother as I stepped into the train.

I nodded frustratedly. "Am I going to have to put up with you for the next seven years?" I demanded.

Crabbe nodded. "We are here if you need us!"

What I wanted to say was that I was perfectly fine, thankyou very much, and that I needed them to go away.

But I was nice, and didn't say that.

All through the train ride, I wondered what the school would be like, exactly. I had no doubt that I would not enjoy it as much with these dumb lumps of anti-brain matter following me around.
