'You will not, under any circumstances, interfere with Potter, Darah.' Severus Snape breathed strictly.
'And you will be referred to by your first and middle name, do not forget that.' He added

Darah nodded rappidly in response. 'I understand Dad.'

'Good.' He grumbled simply.

Then with the swish of a wand Snape vanished and Darah was stood alone outside of Kings Cross station.

She breathed shakily in and slowly out then proceeded to enter the building with her trunk of belongings dragging along by her side.

Her silky, black her swung in time with her steps, her turquoise-green eyes glistened with the light's reflection which, as well, washed out her pale skin.

'Ignore Harry Potter, got it.' She reminded herself and smiled proudly knowing that by attending Hogwarts she will finally be able to make friends.

Snape, Darah's father, was a strict man, he rarely let her out of his sight, she was allowed no friends, especially no muggle friends. Finally now, she was free to make her own choices, even if her father was going to be a teacher, no one was meant to know.

It didn't take her long to reach the platform, she had just seen some red headed kids go through which made it clear she was at the right one.

She lined up her trolly as though she was bowling and in three...two...one.

There stood a great steam train with the words Hogwarts Express shining across the front taking centre stage. Darah gasped with enjoyment and delight, she had never seen such a magnificent view.

The train tooted loudly which made Darah jump nervously. She laughed it off and clambered upon board.

The majority of the compartments were full but eventually she came across an empty one. She sat down on the seat heavily and dust puffed up into the air. She giggled and the train set off for Hogwarts.

'First years this way!' Called a strong, thick voice. She had finally reached Hogsmeade station. She followed the voice with her belongings until she reached a giant man with a big beard waving the first years towards him. He looked down and smiled kindly at Darah and she grinned back.

There was already so much to take in. Her eyes kept darting from scene to scene and at the beautiful landscape. Just over the horizon was Hogwarts.

'Alright, you all look like a bright bunch don't ya.' The giant beamed. 'I'm Hagrid and I'll be taking ya to the boats to get to Hogwarts!' He exclaimed. There were gasps and murmurs of excitement amongst the group as we travelled down to the docks.

Once on the boats they all looked bewildered at the amazing place they had come to. Slowly they gained closer and closer to Hogwarts and eventually got off the boats and made it to the castle itself.

Everyone lined up in the front of castle grounds as they waited to go in single file to the great hall. Darah stood near the front and then the boy next to her started talking.

'I'm Draco, Draco Malfoy.'
