Draco's p.o.v

I grab my wand off my desk and head downstairs, only stopping to pick up my owl's cage. I quickly hug my mother goodbye as she complains about the fatty food served at school.

("-it's a wonder no one's sick from it yet! - )

Father drives me to King's Cross and leaves without a word.
As I make my way to platforms nine and ten, I manage to bump into the one person I had been trying to avoid. Beautiful, perfect Harry Potter. He doesn't look too good though. He winces at all of the noise in the train station and he looks very small. I want to smile at him as I brush past but he hates me so what's the point. He's being pestered by an ugly dude who's gripping Harry's hair and hissing spiteful comments at him.
Screw my reputation I think, turning my trolly around as I paint a stupid grin on my face.

"Alright there, Harry?"

He flinches as I put my arm around his shoulders. He turns his face towards me, frowning. He has a bunch of cuts and bruises on his face but I pretend not to notice them as I raise my eyebrows and nod in the man's direction. Potter seems to understand because he trys to causally lean into my embrace and replies.

"I'm alright thanks M- Draco. Yourself?"

I grin at him.

"I'm fantastic. Who's this then?"

The man glares at me.

"that's my uncle Vernon."

I put out my hand to shake Vernon's hand but he cringes away from me like I have a contagious disease or something. I check the time.

"oh shoot Harry we'd better be off! We don't want to miss the train now do we?"

Potter shakes his head. I shoot a fake smile at the uncle.

"see ya, Vernon."

He looks ready to strangle me as I push Harry ahead of me, towards the platform. He thanks me but I just bristle up and nod.
Hopefully, I think, hopefully we can turn over a new leaf this year and be friends.
Blaise sweeps over.

"hey there Potter. What ever Draco here did for you back there was obviously out of pity so now you can piss off to find that idiot ginger bloodtraitor that you call a friend."

He also spits at Harry as they glare at each other.
Potter looks angry and confused.
Blaise sneers at him and pushes me past Harry to join our mates. I look back over my shoulder to see Harry glaring at me. I just shrug sadly and turn away from him.
