Chapter 3

1088 Words
"So this is Crabbe, Goyle, Nott and Zabini, I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, and you are?" His smooth voice introduces me to the multiple people that I'm now in the compartment with. For some reason it doesn't seem cramped it seems more comfortable than when it's empty. It's either the company I'm with or a spell that makes the compartments adjust. "I am pleased to make your acquaintances good sirs," I stand up and curtsy my black and green checked skirt visible as I do so. I unlike Harry actually started using my money for things I may and will need and use. Such as clothes. I brought some muggle clothes and some witches clothes as soon as we were done with shopping for school supplies. I did that while he and Harris went to get ice cream as Harry didn't fancy doing more shopping and neither did Hagrid. Draco chuckles so does Zabini, Nott seems to be examining me with his cold, calculating eyes and Crabbe and Goyle seem to be to invested in their chocolate and sweets to care. "Very charming and very smooth, I'm impressed but I'd imagine I'd be more impressed if I knew your name," I hesitate for a moment knowing already how people have reacted to seeing and hearing of us. From the very first time setting foot into the magical world up until a few moments ago. "Promise you won't freak out or say anything about it?" I ask him and he gets a crease in his brow obviously confused by the plea but abides nonetheless and nods in confirmation. I bite my lip and I have now attracted the attention of the whole compartment including Crabbe and Goyle. "Mg name is Theodora, Theodora Potter," they seem to freeze as they hear my name and I brace myself for the reaction I'm so used to getting by now but I find myself pleased as a hand grabs mine. "We'll it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Heiress potter," The blonde gently presses a kiss to my knuckles. I get confused for a sec before I remember reading about it in a pureblood etiquette book. It's a formal way of a greeting between an heiress and an heir he kisses her hand and she kisses his cheek. So this is what I do. He looks pleasantly surprised for a moment before he smiles and we all submerge into conversation. Half way through our conversation the compartment door opens. There stood a blonde and a pug faced brunette standing in the door way. "Hey Drakey poo, who's this?" I instantly don't like her. She has a bitchy attitude and obviously thinks she too good to be in my presence. "My name I'm pretty sure I know so please maybe ask me that question in the future and not that it's any of your business but it's Theodora," I say purposely leaving out my last name. The blonde seems to be looking me up and down as if I don't belong here and the pig faced b***h seems to be worse. "You're obviously a mud blood if you're talking to me that way, now get out I want to sit with my Drakey poo," she sticks her nose up in the air and sniffs ignoring the head ahead that comes surprisingly from Goyle ina warning type of way. "You hear that Drakey Poo she thinks that you are making friends with muggle borns now she thinks so low of you and your family name. Now that's not very nice is it?" I say to him but aim the rhetorical question at her. The blonde piped in before anyone else could after seeing the look of disgust on Dracos face and the look of disbelief and rage of the Pugs face. "No that's not what she was insinuating at all she was merely saying no one of high blood status would treat her that way and maybe you conned your way in here and managed to trick them into believing you aren't a mud blood," I'm getting quite angry with the continuous use of that word. "Listen here darling I'm not a muggle born and I believe everyone here other than you two would be able to tell the difference between the three status', my name is Theodora potter," they both go silent as I stand up and slightly tower over the pub face and am eye level with the blonde. "Come on Pansy the half blood isn't worth it," she spits out before turning on her heal. "You're right Daphne she isn't, see you later Drakey poo." Oh lord what a headache those two are I can tell Zabini is thinking the same thing with the way he's massaging the tension from his head. "Ladies and Gentlemen we will be arriving at the school in a few minutes time please leave you belongings where they are they will be taken care of by our prefects and you'll receive them once you enter your dorms, have a wonderful year at Hogwarts," The voice echoes through the train and I make sure I have everything including my little friend Thanatos. "So what house will you be in?" I ask and they all respond pretty simultaneously with Slytherin. When I'm asked I tell them I don't know much of the houses and despite the confused looks I get they explain. "Ravenclaw is for those who have wit and Intelligence, Hufflepuff if for the loyal and kind hearted, Gryffindor is for the brave and daring And Slytherin is for the cunning and ambitious," Huh I sound like I could do all of them. Unless I don't like them I'm a kind person and once they have me I'm as loyal as can be. I love learning and reading and I definitely have some range of intelligence I've always been told that by my teachers much to the dismay of my aunt and uncle. I am brave and quite daring when I need to be and I am very ambitious about doing and completing things I want to and I'm very much wanting to show the world i am worthy of being here. And when it comes to cunning I can be but I've never really tried because of the living situation and all. I sigh as I come to a halt in my thoughts matching the train as I step of. And just like that I have arrived at my new home and escape for the next seven years.
