Bab 5: Chapter 05 : Hogwarts Express
"Come in," I said and my father walked in. Normally he would call me into his office but this was the time for his that talk.
"Son, You are going to Hogwarts tomorrow." He said in a serious voice.
"Yes, father."
"I know you will be chosen into Slytherin. You are the heir of Malfoy a great pure-blood wizard and one from Sacred Twenty-Eight. Make sure to be second to none, especially to those Mudbloods and blood traitors."
"Back in my days, I was a prefect, a leading figure of my house. You must not let others take the lead. I heard the Potter boy will also attend Hogwarts this year. Some say he is a great savior and some say he is a great dark wizard. Try to be friends with him, get him to understand the difference between those low lives and us if not crush him."
"Very well father," I said.
Trying to make friends with Dumbledore's pet is useless. Those so-called light side hypocrites, literally use dark magic yet act all righteous. Even Potter's mother used dark magic to protect him. Using souls to fuel magic is one of the biggest taboos in magic even though she used her own soul and they call it some love bullshit.
"We already talked with your godfather. You don't have to worry about anything in the school." Father's voice brought me back to the present. "Now go to bed we have to leave in the morning."
**********
We were walking hurriedly in King's cross Station because I intentionally got ready later. I was trying to avoid my henchmen. I had no plan of babysitting them. As we walked I saw some people disappearing into the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Soon we walked through it too.
There was a majestic steam engine near the platform. There was a sign that said 'Hogwarts Express, 11 o'clock.'
"Hurry up, Draco. We are late." My mother said.
"Bye mom," I said hugging her.
After my father wished me luck I ran into the train. As soon as I get in, a whistle rang and the train started to move slowly.
I was looking for an empty compartment but all of them were full. There was a compartment with only one person inside it and I decided to enter it. The person inside it was a girl with brown hair. She was reading a book, How classic.
I didn't say anything and just sat opposite seat to the girl watching outside the window.
A few minutes later barely audible voice came. "Are you a first-year?"
"Yes," I said.
"Oh great, I am a first year too. My name is Hermione Granger. what's your name?" Here comes the bossy tone.
"Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."
"Oh, you're from one of the old wizard families. I have read about them. It said they are...."
"Pure-blood wizards," I said getting annoyed by her tone, then
[+2 karma points.]
Ooh, I can get karma points from her too. I am not going to let you run away my little piggy bank. Hermione getting uncomfortable with my intense stare asked "What?"
"Nothing, you must be a muggle-born then," I said.
"Yes, I was very surprised when the letter came. It was the most wonderful thing that happened to me. Nobody is in my family's magic at all, so I've learned all our set books off by heart. Hope it will be enough."
"You know most of the muggle-borns never pass the first year," I said deciding to play with her a little.
"You are lying, right?" She asked me in disbelief.
"Who knows maybe I am maybe not."
At that moment door of our compartment opened and a lady with a food trolley showed up. "Anything off the trolley, dears?"
I wasn't hungry but I decided to buy pastries and a few sweets. Hermione looked at them with interest but didn't buy anything.
"Have you ever tried these?" I asked."This is Every flavor beans, here try this." I said handing her a yellow-colored bean.
"Is it good?" She put it in her mouth without thinking much. Slowly her expressions become ugly.
"Eww...eww eww"
I wasn't able to hold my laugh watching her. "Hahaha when they say every flavor, they really mean it. That's a vomit-flavored one."
"That's disgusting," Hermione said glaring at me.
"What, don't muggles always say never take candy from a stranger."
"Hump...that's not nice." She puffed.
"Ok, ok here try chocolate frogs. They have a card inside them, you can collect them."
Hermione was amazed at chocolate frogs but this time she was quite cautious. "How can they move?"
"Transfiguration probably."
"Oh, Professor McGonagall teaches the Transfiguration at Hogwarts, right?"
"Yes"
"I met her before. She came to our house and explain this magic stuff. I thought it was a joke at first, but then She turned a teacup into a pigeon. Isn't she amazing? She is also the head of Gryffindor. What house do you think you will be in? I like Gryffindor even the Dumbledore was a Gryffindor." She said in one breath.
That was a lot of information, "Slytherin, I am going to be a Slytherin."
"Ah, right" she said with slight unhappiness.
"Well yes, Dumbledore was Gryffindor but Merlin was a Slytherin you know? After all, Slytherin accepts only the most powerful wizards. But I thought you are more of a Ravenclaw."
Hermione opened her mouth to say something but someone knock on the compartment door and a round-faced boy came in.
