Chapter 5: The New Slytherin Seeker

Summary:
Year 2, first Quidditch match of the
season
Slytherin vs. Gryffindor

During the first year, Draco never really connected with

Harry. It was during the second year when they did
properly.

It was when the two Quidditch teams collided in the

courtyard whilst on the way to the pitch.

"Where do you think you're going, Flint?" Oliver Wood,

captain of Gryffindor's team, asked abruptly.

Flint scoffed, "Quidditch practice."

"No." Oliver shook his head with an annoyed look on his

face. "I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today."

"It's easy, Wood. I have a note."

Flint passed the note forwards, smirking as Wood read it

out. Snape gladly helped them out, partly because he
was the godfather of the new Slytherin Seeker.

Marcus moved out of the way to show Draco off to the

Gryffindor's team. Draco had a smirk on her face but it
later dropped when a semi verbal brawl unfolded.

She saw Ron and Hermione father round, obviously

getting involved because Harry was standing there.

"No way!" Ron gasped in awe. "Those are Nimbus

2001's. Where did you get those?"

"A gift from Draco's father." Marcus smugly answered.

"You see, Weasel, some people can afford the best." One
of the chasers butted in.

Draco said nothing but watched, she never did

understand the rivalry between the houses.

"At least no one on Gryffindor team had to buy there way

in." Hermione flicked her hair back. "They got in on pure
talent."

Draco felt disheartened. She tried out for the team just
like everyone else. She didn't get to say her own witty
reply as one of the beaters came up with a more cruel
one instead.

"No one asked your opinion. You filthy little mudblood."

Hermione wouldn't let them see her cry and so turned

and ran away, Ron and Harry seethe in anger.

Draco knew that words could hurt and even though she
could find Hermione terribly irritating at times, there was
no reason to stoop to that level. Her eyes widened when
she watched Ron intervene with a broken wand.

"Eat slugs!" Ron yelled.

The spell backfired and threw Ron backwards. Draco

screwed up her face in disgust as he began to throw up
slugs.

"Ron!" Harry ran over to his friend.

"Let's get you to Hagrid's. He will know what to do."

Harry heaved a very pale Ron up to his feet and raised

his eyebrows as Draco helped him.

"What are you doing?"

Draco bit her lip. "I'm just trying to help."

Harry didn't have time to argue. He reluctantly let the

Slytherin tag along.

"Sorry. Nothing to do until it stops, I'm afraid." Hagrid

sat himself down in his much larger chair as Ron and
Harry sat on the bench whilst Draco was still lurking in
the doorway, her blonde hair in a ponytail.

"Where's Hermione anyway?"

"A Slytherin upset her."

Hagrid looked to Draco in confusion.

"No. Not Malfoy." Harry defended. "One of the chasers.

They calle her... well I don't know what the called her."

"They called..eurgh..." a slug slipped into the bucket, "a

mudblood."

"They did not!" Hagrid gasped in disbelief.

"What's a mudblood?"

Draco explained, "it's a foul name for someone who's

Muggle-Born, like Hermione."

Harry shook his head. He didn't understand why Draco

came with him. She was supposed to be training with her
team. Why did she come and help?

He came to realise that Draco wasn't as evil as the rest

of the Slyterins. Actually, it seemed like it was a minority
of the house that was actual bad. People were just a little
biased, Harry assumed.

Harry took Ron up to Gryffindor tower with some help

from Draco.

They were all quiet. Too quite for Harry's liking.

"Go and find Hermione." Harry told Ron. Draco was

standing at the bottom of the staircase so she didn't hear
the password for the common room.

"What are you going to do?" Ron tiredly asked.

"Going to find out what her deal is." Harry said, slightly
meaner than he intended.

He practically stormed down the stairs, hearing the Fat

Lady talk behind him. He stopped two steps higher than
what Draco was standing on.

"Why did you help us today?" Harry asked, tilting his

head to the side.

Draco shrugged, she wasn't so sure herself. She just

acted impulsively. Her father won't be too pleased to
know that she helped a Gryffindor of all people. "It was
the right thing to do. I can't speak for everyone else but
I'm tired of the confrontation all the time."

"But... Slytherins are supposed to be bad!" Harry

argued.

Draco chewed on her bottom lip. "'Bad' isn't one of our

attributes. Being cunning, determined and ambitious are.
Not every Gryffindor is a hero you know. A Gryffindor is
supposed to be brave, courageous and chivalrous.
Doesn't make you a good person though."

Harry had never thought about it like that before.

Draco explained it in a way that made Harry see things in

a new light.

"I guess I'll see you around." Draco said as she was
about to leave. Harry stopped her by grabbing her arm.

"That day when we met..." Harry recalled the meeting,

"did you want to be friends?"

Draco nodded, "I dont think friendship is out of the

question for us yet."
