Draco kept nervously looking at the door, while pansy kept shifting
"he's been gone for a while." the female alpha stated
"yeah i'm worried.. do you think i should have gone with him..."
"no he should be fine, one second!"
she said before pulling a small mirror "Blaise" she spoke to it. a loud ringing noise filled the quiet compartment. on the 5th ring a familiar voice took over the ringing
"hey pans!"
"Blaise, honey, we're worried where are you!?"
"pans, you wont believe what happened!
"what?" draco asked as he moved to sit next to her
"i found my soulmates!"
"WHAT!?" the two yelled
"i know isn't great?"
"who is it i need to know tell me!" the line went silent for a moment then a bit of murmuring "blaise?" draco asked
"nope guess again." an annoyingly familiar voice
"potter..." both Slytherins growled "
"alright i'm saying this right now if you hurt him i will hunt you and maul you. boy-who-lived or not."
"don't worry Parkinson he'll be fine."
"bye pans. bye dray!" then the line went dead
-------------------
as the twins step off the train and onto the hogsmead platform Fred was , not so discreetly, looking for the head of platinum blonde hair. "who you looking for Fred?" lee asked cocking his head. "oh just trying to spot Ron and Ginny." he answered the beta, who nodded "so who are we testing the products out on first?" lee asked.
"maybe we can trick some little firsties after the sorting." George chimed in, causing Lee and Fred to snicker.
"yeah we need to make sure we aren't caught by Ronniekins and Hermione the new prefects, we could actually get expelled."
the trio snickered and continued their ways to the carriages

Draco sat with Pansy,Blasie, Crabbe and Goyle in the center of the table. Even with the loud chatter around him Draco couldn't help but be silent and stare at the... pink, toad-like monstrosity at the right end of the head table. As he stared confused at the lady he didn't notice Dumbledore stand up and make his way to the podium and start his speech
“Well, now that we are all digesting another magnificent feast, I beg a few moments of your attention for the usual start-of-term notices,” said Dumbledore. “First years ought to know that the forest in the grounds is out of bounds to students — and a few of our older students ought to know by now too.” (pg. 210 Order of the Phoenix)
“Mr. Filch, the caretaker, has asked me, for what he tells me is the four hundred and sixty-second time, to remind you all that magic is not permitted in corridors between classes, nor are a number of other things, all of which can be checked on the extensive list now fastened to Mr. Filch’s office door. “We have had two changes in staffing this year. We are very pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly-Plank, who will be taking Care of Magical Creatures lessons; we are also delighted to introduce Professor Umbridge, our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.”
Dumbledore continued, “Tryouts for the House Quidditch teams will take place on the —”(pg. 211 Order of the Phoenix)
“Hem, hem,”
Dumbledore paused watching Umbridge get up from her seat before recovering and moving back to his seat. The pink clad professor moved to the main podium
“Thank you, Headmaster,” Professor Umbridge simpered, “for those kind words of welcome.” (pg. 211 Order of the Phoenix)
“Well, it is lovely to be back at Hogwarts, I must say!” She smiled, revealing very pointed teeth. “And to see such happy little faces looking back at me!” (pg. 212 Order of the Phoenix). Draco couldn't help but be offended by her tone, none of the students are five year olds heck even some fist years looked mad. “I am very much looking forward to getting to know you all, and I’m sure we’ll be very good friends!” (pg. 212 Order of the Phoenix) Draco scoffed he heard Pansy "tsk" and he could feel Blaise's eye roll.
“The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of vital importance. The rare gifts with which you were born may come to nothing if not nurtured and honed by careful instruction. The ancient skills unique to the Wizarding community must be passed down through the generations lest we lose them forever. The treasure trove of magical knowledge amassed by our ancestors must be guarded, replenished, and polished by those who have been called to the noble profession of teaching.” (pg. 212 Order of the Phoenix)
she gave another "Hem, hem" before continuing
“Every headmaster and headmistress of Hogwarts has brought something new to the weighty task of governing this historic school, and that is as it should be, for without progress there will be stagnation and decay. There again, progress for progress’s sake must be discouraged, for our tried and tested traditions often require no tinkering. A balance, then, between old and new, between permanence and change, between tradition and innovation . . .” (pg. 212 Order of the Phoenix)
Draco zoned out by now completely ignoring the toad-like woman. he thought about random things as she continued he talk, like what his schedule would be, what hour is potions would be, identical heads of red hai- draco shook his head trying to clear those thought and looked back to the podium only to see the woman silent and very hesitant and soft applause by the student body and teachers. Dumbledore continued about quiddich tryouts and then we went back to eating.
Draco made sure his prefect pin was visible on his robe right next to his crest and helped bring the first years to the dungeons. He stops in front of a slightly lighter patch of wall "alright. although this looks like a normal wall this is the entrance to our common room the code changes every week be sure to ask a prefect, Snape our head of house or it will be on the bulletin for two days." Draco turns towards the wall "Natrix*" the bricks move away, like the entrance to Diagon Alley, reveling a small hallway with light at the end of it. "come along then."
