Before Hogwarts Draco's story

             
         It was 1989, I woke up drenched in sticky, cold sweat. It was a cool morning, I looked out the window. The fog on the ground hovered above the grass as if it was watching it, making the atmosphere chilling. Father was in a meeting as usual.  I have always looked up to him. He was always my role model, and I know that he didn't spend a lot of time with me, but I knew he had good intentions. I didn't have many friends so I spent a lot of time reading books in the library.  Books gave me an idea of what it feels like to have friends, it seemed wonderful but, father wouldn't let me play with them because he said that muggles are a threat to purebloods. So out of habit, as soon as I woke up, I headed to the library to read. I didn't go to school yet because young witches and wizards have to be 11-years old before they could attend school. Father wanted me to go to Durmstrang Institute in Northern Europe. They taught dark arts for young witches and wizards and they did not accept muggle-borns. Mother did not love that idea she didn't want me to go far away, she wanted me to stay close by even when I go to school.  So mother and father wanted to send me to Hogwarts when the time came.
    I was counting the days in my calendar until school started. I wanted to become popular or someone that everyone knew about and followed. I didn't know what I would do to achieve that but I would figure it out my birthday was in a few days [9] but whos counting! I was so excited and I hoped that my father wouldn't forget it this year last year he went to Northern Europe on my birthday to discuss something he never spoke to me about his work stuff, but one person never forgot my birthday, Dobby! He was father's servant and he also took care of me, he reminded me to eat and drink, because sometimes I forgot but I was so into the book that I was reading that I couldn't stop!
Mother didn't have a job she didn't need to have one. We were very wealthy and she preferred to spend time with me than spend time out of the house. She loved me very much and she used to read me stories when I was younger, she let dobby sleep in my room sometimes to keep me company. One particular night she told me a story and it wasn't the same type of stories she told me.
This story was strange and this one really interested me, Dobby was right beside me as usual. Mother started to read but then she had a long pause, but I didn't know why. She said "Draco my boy promise me that you will never speak of this name that I will tell you in this story" and I was confused but I didn't question her and just said " yes mother I promise" and then she said "very well" So then Mother continued with the story and read " A long time ago there was a boy named Harry potter he is about your age and one day there was a man named Voldemort" is that name I can't say, Mother? And then she said "yes dear may I continue" she was very loving and patient and then I said "yes mother" and then she "very well so as I said you know who was looking for death eaters [people that follow him in his evil steps] so he came to many houses and got his death eaters and so he went to the last house to get the last 2 victims, and they were James and Lily Potter.They both had one child named Harry potter".
    "Earlier that day Lily wasn't feeling well and the time of the month had passed and she was 3 days late so she went to the store and got a pregnancy test and 20 minutes later she was pregnant. So she began to plan how she was going to tell  James but she thought to tell him the next day she was very excited to tell him. Later that day as she was putting Harry to sleep she heard the front door open. She didn't know what to do but she thought it was just James. Two seconds later she saw the most powerful wizard ever to exist...Voldermort! She couldn't believe her eyes. She was shocked she didn't know what to do but she knew one thing, she had to protect Harry so she curled up in a ball but she was still protecting Harry he was against her chest but he was still calm [he was still a baby]. Next thing she knows she hears one of the 3 forbidden spells...The death spell, And BOOM she died James ran to Harry's room trying to save Lily but he was too late and he resisted to follow you know who, and the funny thing is that whoever you know who tries to kill it's impossible to survive or so he thought. Baby Harry Potter proved him wrong".
    I couldn't believe what I heard and the next thing I know mother said: " Draco don't tell your father about this okay", and then I said "yes mother" and then she gave me a kiss on my forehead and said "Good night I love you" and then I said "Love you" as soon as mother left I turned around and started to talk to Dobby he was my best friend and my only friend. I was astonished I didn't know what to say but then I asked to go to the library and try to find something on this topic because I wanted to know more about Harry Potter and you know who.
    As soon I woke up I saw Dobby in my room and he gave me breakfast in bed and said "Happy birthday master" and then I said "you remembered" and then he said, "Yes, of course, this is my favorite day of the year because its the day my best friend was born!" I started to cry but they where happy tears I was so thankful for Dobby and he was the best person ever.
    It was a beautiful day and there were birds were singing and I was very happy, flowers everywhere in the garden that was my favorite place in the whole house except for the library of course I was so happy and hoping that father would remember I was turning 10 and Every year on my birthday I think one less year to go to school. I loved reading and learning about anything really and also I would make new friends in school. I came downstairs and for the first time, Mother and Father remembered and there were many presents by the library because mother knows that I go to the library every day out of habit and then Mother and Father said "Happy birthday my boy" and father gave me a hug and left he didn't talk to me or the rest of the day because he was in another meeting on my birthday. I was a bit sad but it was okay father always taught me to be strong and never to cry because crying is a sign of weakness.
    A couple of weeks later Dobby came into my room and said "master your father is asking for you in his office", I didn't know what to do I was both scared and excited because father never let me in his office. So I immediately got dressed and went to fathers office, I had a cold face because father didn't really like people with a smile on there face but if I had a sad face or scared he would call me weak so I just had a cold face on like I was ready for business. He said "sit" and I said "yes father" I was examining fathers office there was a black cedarwood desk and a black leather chair it looked like a throne. Most things in father's office were black, black and dark emerald green were his signature colors! It was a large room and in front of his desks there were two chairs they were so comfortable, the walls were matte black and he had many pictures of wants and a ball with wings I think the name was a Snitch!? And then behind the chairs, there was a couch that could fit 3 people and a small round coffee table and a black fluffy rug. There was also a long thin black table behind the couch. Father had big wide windows that covered the whole wall behind father's desk.
    Father said "Draco my son you will be attending Hogwarts the school for witchcraft and wizardry, and as you know Harry Potter the boy who lived is going to attend Hogwarts as well, and whatever you do don't be friends with him or any of his friends if he makes any" he laughed " you shall be the best of the best in all of your classes and if you get sorted into the Gryffindor house you will no longer be my son do you understand!" he shouted. I said " yes father" and then she shouted again "okay now leave."
    My family absolutely hated the Gryffindor house I don't know why maybe because most of the people in my family were pretty selfish and only thought that pure-blood Slytherins were good enough.
    Soon enough it was fall and I was on my way to Hogwarts and well you already know the rest!
   
                    The end!
