Harry and I walked to the field together where there were brooms lying in the grass. Students were already there, standing next to a broom.
"Hello students. My name is Madame Hooch. I will be your flying instructor this year. Now, if everyone will stand near a broom that would be great." Our teacher said. She had short crazy greyish hair and yellow eyes. She was kinda scary. Me and Harry walked to our own brooms and stood next to them. Harry was on my right side and there was an empty spot on my left. I turned to Harry when I felt someone touch my left shoulder. I quickly turned to see who it was and of course, I found myself looking into the grey eyes of Draco Malfoy. He was smirking at me and he came close to my ear and whispered "We should leave." I was a little confused but then I realized that he wanted to ditch the class with me. I smirked at him and said,
"On the first day? Don't you wanna show me your amazing broom riding skills?" He smiled and winked, "Good thinking Potter." He said. Madame Hooch had instructed us to put our hand out in front of our brooms and say "Up." When I did this, the broom flew into my hand the first time I said it. Draco did the same and it obeyed and flew to his hand. He smirked at me and raised his eyebrows. It took Harry once as well and he looked at me smiling. It took everyone else forever. When everyone finally got it in their hands, Madame Hooch taught us how to mount our brooms. She was about to tell us to kick off on the count of three, until Neville Longbottom flew off into the sky, having no control over his broom. He flew all around, then toppled off his broom, and fell to the floor. Hooch and the rest of the class ran over to Neville.
"Broken wrist." Madame Hooch said as she carefully touched Neville's arm.
I turned around and saw Draco pick something up from the ground.
"Everyone is to keep their feet firmly on the ground while I take Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing. Understand? If I see a single broom in the air, the one riding it will find themselves out of Hogwarts before they could say Quidditch." Said Madame Hooch as she walked away with Neville.
"Did you see his face? Maybe if the fat lad would have given this a squeeze, he'd remember not to fall on his fat ass." Draco said laughing as he was holding Neville's remembrall in his hand.
"Give it here Malfoy." I heard my brother say. Draco turned to him and said,
"No. I think I'll leave somewhere for Longbottom to find" He threw the ball up and then caught it. He then mounted his broom and started flying up,
"How bout on the roof?", Draco said as he flew higher. "What's the matter Potter? Bit beyond your reach?" Draco said smirking. Harry then mounted his broom when I said, "Harry no. You heard what Madame Hooch Said. He isn't worth it."
"Yeah she's right. Besides, you don't even know how to fly!" Hermione said from behind me.
Harry looked at me and smiled, then he took off into the air after Draco. He was surprisingly really good at flying.
"What. An. Idiot." Hermione Said.
From up in the sky, I heard Harry and Draco talking.
"Give it here Malfoy, or I'll knock you off your broom!" Harry said.
"Is that so?" Draco responded as Harry flew towards him. Draco flew upside down and dodged Harry as my brother flew past him.
"Have it your way then." Draco said smiling as he threw the remembrall past Harry. Harry then flew after the ball, catching it in his hands.
He started flying back down to the ground as everyone was cheering for him. I was shaking my head and smiling at him. He's such an idiot, I thought.
"Harry Potter!" We all turned around and saw Professor McGonagall walking towards us, "follow me." She said. Harry looked at me frightened and walked away with McGonagall. I looked at Draco who was laughing. I glared at him and stormed off angrily. I might of liked Draco, but I loved my brother, and if he got him in trouble...well...I'm gonna be more pissed off than McGonagall was.

The rest of the day went by pretty fast. I had Draco in all of my classes so it was really hard to avoid him. He kept trying to talk to me but I just walked away. I didn't see Harry again until lunchtime. I walked up to him and he was smiling. I hit him in the head and said,
"What the heck were you thinking?! You're better than Draco Malfoy. You don't need to get into trouble to show everyone that you're the hero." He started smiling and said, "I'm not in trouble. Professor McGonagall wants me to be the Quidditch teams new seeker"
I was so shocked. I hit him again and started smiling. I gave him a huge hug.
"Of course the one time you break a rule you get rewarded for it." I said laughing.
He smirked at me and then walked to his table. I walked to the Slytherin table smiling to myself. I avoided Draco all through lunch and for the rest of the day. I couldn't stop thinking about him though. By nightfall, I was in my room getting ready for bed when suddenly the whole atmosphere changed. You couldn't see it, you could just feel it. Then the scenery changed. I was standing on a balcony. There was a bunch of flowers everywhere and the moon was shining up the sky. There was a big mirror in front of me, but the person looking back at me didn't look like me very much at all. She was beautiful. We had the same hair and eye color and same facial features, but this girl looked a bit older and was wearing a lot of makeup. She was also wearing a beautiful long silky green dress and had a silver necklace around her neck. Her hair was pulled back into a bun and it was gorgeous. The whole scenery was gorgeous. Suddenly behind the girl in the mirror, Tom Riddle appeared. I turned around and asked,
"Why do I look like that?"
Tom Riddle looked into my eyes and smiled. "That's your 18 year old self." He said.
"How are you doing that?" I asked.
"y/n, you are extraordinary. Unlike anyone I have ever laid eyes on. We are connected, you and me. We have been since you were very young. I can do this because you're letting me. It's our power. Colliding with eachother. Together, we can do great things." Tom said.
I was really confused on what he just said. Our power? If I was going to be completely honest...I desired power. When he said that, I felt my eyes light up. I know it's wrong and that I should focus on more important things but I enjoy feeling in control. It's when I feel the safest.
"Power?" I asked Tom. An evil smirk planted across his face and he said,
"Yes. You just need to trust me. Forget about everyone and everything. Take my hand."
"Everyone?" I asked, thinking about Harry. I couldn't ever forget my brother. He was my entire world. Not to mention I had made some pretty great friends here at Hogwarts, including Draco.
"No. No I don't want to do that. I can't forget about Harry." I replied.
Tom looked at me and raised his eyebrows. He looked annoyed.
"As you wish, my dear." He said.
Suddenly the scenery changed and I was back In my room. I stood there for a moment and tried to process what had just happened. I shook my head, lied down and fell asleep.
