Draco's troubled childhood

Year 1 (1st day)

Once Draco got on to the train, he quickly found a seat near 2 boys. One short and fat and the other tall and average weight. Draco stuck his hand out and introduced himself to the boys, "I'm Draco malfoy pure blood, and future slytherin."

The short boy shook dracos hand and stated, "I'm Vincent crabbe and this is Gregory goyle, but you can call us crabbe and goyle." He gestured toward the tall boy, "we're both pure bloods and future slytherins as well."

Draco smiled. They would work out great as his goons. "Nice to meet you. It's sickening how many half bloods and mudbloods there are here. We need to keep the wizarding world pure." He told the boys.

"I complete agree." Goyle told malfoy. During the ride, the boys continued to talk about the wizarding world for the next hour. Malfoy began to notice everyone murmuring to each other and asked what was going on.

"The great and powerful Harry Potter is on the train. He's a first year student." A tall boy exclaimed to the boys.

"If we become friends with Harry Potter, we'll be the most popular boys at school!" Crabbe declared, excitement clear in his voice. If I become friends with Harry Potter father will be proud of me, Malfoy thought to himself. Draco decided as soon as he got off of the train he would befriend Harry Potter.

After about another hour, the train finally arrived at hogwarts. "Come on!" Crabbe uttered. "Let's go find Harry Potter!" The 3 boys hurried off the train towards the rowboats for the first years, looking for the boy who lived. Not seeing him, they decided they would find him when they got to the castle.

Once they got to the castle steps they heard whispers about Harry Potter and pushed themselves to the front of the crowd. There! A short boy with hair covering his forehead and round glasses, but the lightening bolt scar clear. He stood next to a boy with red hair and hand me down robes. A weasley. A sickening disgrace of the wizarding world.

Draco walked over and stuck his hand out. "This is Crabbe and goyle. And I'm malfoy. Draco malfoy." The weasley snickered. Draco looked at him with disgust in his eyes. "You think my name is funny do you? Don't need to ask yours. Red hair and a hand me down robe, you must be a weasley." Draco turned his attention back to Harry. "You'll soon find out some wizarding families are better than others. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there."

He looked down at dracos hand and up to his face. "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks." Rejected and humiliated by the great Harry Potter. A half blood! Before malfoy could respond, an old woman wearing green robes and a hat walked out of the castle getting his attention.

"We're ready for you now, follow me." The woman said and turned around heading into the castle. The group of first years followed her. Draco still embarrassed, fell to the back of the crowd with Crabbe and goyle.

Once the students got into mess hall, the old woman, who introduced herself as professed mcgonagall head of gryffindor, began the sorting ceremony. "When I call your name, you will come forth I will place the sorting hat on to your head and you will be sorted into your houses." She began. "Hermione granger."

A short girl with frizzy brunette hair stepped forward . Draco instantly recognized her as a filthy mudblood. The hat considered her, "hmm... gryffindor!" The gryffindor table cheered. Of course a mudblood would be sorted there.

"Draco malfoy." Professor mcgonagall called out. I walked up and sat down on the stool. The hat barley touched my hair before it called out, "slytherin!" I smirked. Obviously. The slytherin table cheered loudly. I strutted over and was welcomed with open arms.

The hat called more names. Susan bones (hufflepuff), Neville long bottom (gryffindor), Ron weasley (gryffindor), etc, until they got to Harry Potter. The chatter came to a complete stop. He nervously walked up and sat on the stool. The hat considered the boy who lived for multiple minutes before calling out, "gryffindor!" The table erupted in ear-splitting cheers. Of course someone who be friends with a weasley would be placed in gryffindor.

Once all the first years were sorted dinner began. I sat between Crabbe and goyle and across from 2 first year girls one with blonde hair and the other with brunette hair. I decided to introduce myself to them. "Hi, I'm Draco malfoy and this is Vincent crabbe and Gregory goyle. Pure bloods."

The blonde girl spoke first, "I'm daphne green grass and this is pansy parkinson. We're purebloods as well. Nice to meet you." The five of us continued to talk until dinner ended.

About an hour later an older girl who introduced herself as Gemma Farley, the head prefect, led us up to the slytherin common room. The common room is located in the dungeons, behind an apparently blank stretch of wall. After Gemma said the password, the wall opened revealing a low-ceilinged, dungeon-like room with greenish lamps and chairs. The rest of the first years and I were speechless at the beautiful common room.

Gemma showed the girls up to their dormitories and the head boy showed the boys our dormitories. The room was decorated with ancient four-posters beds with green silk hangings. Silver lanterns hung from the ceilings. The walls were decorated with Slytherin crests. Medieval tapestries depicting the adventures of famous Slytherins covered the walls.

"Alright first years, start getting ready for bed. Lights out in 30 minutes." The head boy told the students and left to go to his own dormitory.

Draco picked his bed between Crabbe and goyle, put his possessions away, put on pajamas, and got into bed. Draco told his dorm mates goodnight and drifted off to sleep thinking of the year to come, the friends he would make, getting back at Harry Potter for humiliating him, and how he would make his father proud.
