Chapter Text
Harry has just learned he’s a wizard, and he’s trying to take in this new world. He’s currently in Diagon Alley getting his robes fitted while Hagrid is somewhere else. Madame Malkin is currently getting his measurements.
A mother and son walk in together. Madame Malkin excuses herself and has the platinum blonde boy come up to stand next to Harry for his measurements.
The blonde turns to him, “Malfoy, Draco Malfoy”, he says, reaching his hand out to Harry.
“Harry” he replies back and shakes Draco’s hand.
“No last name?”
“Just Harry,” he responds. Not wanting him to know his last name since he is apparently famous.
It’s quiet between them for a moment while Madame Malkin finishes Harry’s measurements and gets started on Draco’s. Harry observes the way Draco acts and he determines he is an entitled rich boy. He shouldn’t judge though. Not everyone is what they seem. She walks away to talk to the boy’s mother.
Draco turns his head towards Harry, “Are you going to Hogwarts?”
“Yes, I am. Are you?” He asks back, being polite.
“What house do you think you’ll get sorted into? I’m going to be in Slytherin. My whole family’s been in Slytherin.”
“I’m not sure. What are the other houses?”
“You don’t know?” The blonde asks.
“No. I never even heard of Hogwarts until I got my letter.”
“Well there are four houses. Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor.”
“I wonder which one I’ll get into. Is there any way I can learn more about them?”
Draco offers, “I can talk to you more about them if you like?”
“I would love that thanks.”
Before Draco could begin teaching him about the houses, Hagrid knocks on the window and shows Harry a snowy owl. He smiles and starts to move down from the platform.
“Sorry Draco. I got to go. Maybe you can fill me in another time?”
“Yeah, sounds good. How about we meet on the platform?”
“Platform? What platform?”
“It’s platform 9 3⁄4. The way to get to Hogwarts. I’ll be waiting in front of the entrance.”
“Sounds like a plan!”
They both smile at each other and Harry gets Madame Malkin’s attention. She grabs his finished robes and he pays her two 10 galleons. He made his way out the door with his bag and met up with Hagird. Walking away with a smile on his face at a new friend and the gift of his new owl.
