The New Beginning

Chapter 2

We're going to Hogwarts and this is going to be a long train ride.

"So what was Draco doing with that weird-looking cabinet?"

"And who were all those people?"

"Don't you see? It was a ceremony. An initiation."

"Stop it, Harry. I know where you're going with this."

"It happened. He's one of them."

"One of who?"

"Harry's under the impression Draco Malfoy is now a Death Eater."

"You're barking, I don't think he is. At least not yet, the malfoy family has always been on that side but I know draco."

"What would You-Know-Who want with a sod like Malfoy?"

"Oh, then what's he doing in Borgin and Burkes? Browsing for furniture?"

"It's a creepy shop. He's a creepy blood. Blood"

"His father is a Death Eater. It only makes sense. Besides, Hermione saw it with her own eyes."

"I told you, I don't know what I saw."

"I need some air."

I watch as Harry leaves and I look at the other two. I frown but look down at my crest. I don't think he'd become a destheater on his own. His father has always tried to force him to do things, it's so horrible how he's treated.

"I'll be back"

"Hurry were almost at hogwarts."

I smile at her and walk down to his cart. I see a few other Slytherins but I chose to ignore them.

"Amused, Blaise? Let's see just who's laughing in the end."

I tap his shoulder and he looks at me.

"We need to talk.."

He smirks and ignores me. I figured he would do that. I grab him but the collar lightly and he gets up. I get us away from all of the others.

"Draco I wanted to ask you something."

"What would that be"

"Have you been ok over the summer, you hardly came over to the manor. It kind of scared me when you wouldn't reply to any of my mail."

"I'm sorry, but I've been busy and I didn't have time to respond."

"Draco I know that isn't true but it's fine, I know how your father is."

"You don't know anything about my father."

He flares at me and I frown.

"You know I didn't mean it like that..."

"I don't care how you meant it, leave me and my family alone."

"Fine I will but you'll have that crest on your wrist to remind you that I'm still you're friend."

I get up and walk away, I make it back to the cart and I grab my stuff. I get onto the platform but I don't see Harry. I get onto one of the carriages and we get to the gate. I see my uncle waiting down at the bags.

"What's this cane here then? It's not a cane, you cretin. It's a walking stick."

"And what exactly will you be doing with all... be construed as an offensive weapon."

I walk over with my Uncle, he questioning dracos walking stick.

"It's alright, Mr. Filch. I can vouch for Mr. Malfoy."
