29 the laws of old (1/2)

After getting over the fact that Ron has become a cheap Malfoy, he played dumb.

”Of course I don't know, all he did was to scream and throw himself at me, what? Did you expect me to not react and protect myself? Fat chance.”

Before he could erupt, the old carrot head came in.

”Twenty-five point for your house and detention for assaulting an Heir of an ancient and Noble House.” Satisfied with his action, he exits the carriage, completely oblivious of the fact that the boy wasn't even sorted and that the year wasn't in motion, thus unable to give detention.

Seeing his older brother take care of the situation, Ron exit the carriage smugly, followed by Neville.

”Do you see now? this is only a small part of what is the wizarding world, as they see the whining brat as a sort of savior his action will be forgiven when those actions would see a mundane born expelled.”

The lesson was bitter for the young girl to swallow when she realizes that she has left a familiar world where she was sunned, to an unfamiliar one were she would be harassed. Unwilling to leave here in this state, he quickly thinks if he was willing to leave her in this state or help her.

Making his choice, he attracted her attention when he spoke again.

”As I was about to say when they interrupt, I am not from the mundane world, but the magical one. While I was not raised in it, I am the head of my House due to the fact that I am the sole member still alive. Being who I am, I have the possibility to help you, but you must know that once you made your choice it forms life, and magic will see to it. I am unwilling to hear your response now, I will let you until the winter solstice to make your mind. The student has the possibility to return to their home on this date, speak with your parent and see what you want to be done. As I said earlier, they don't have weight anymore in the witch part of your life but it better for you to ask them.”

At first, she was downcast at seeing what he just have say happen, she was completely clueless has to what she should do so when she heard him say he may have a way to help, she was first exited before sadden that he wouldn't hear her now, but after thinking of it it was for the best. Even if she hadn't the greatest of relation with her parent, they should still be aware of the situation and know how better than her.

SO for the next hour, the two stays have they where one petting a purring cat and the other immersed in his book. It was at this time that for the third time of the short ride, the door was abruptly open. In the frame, a well-groomed platinum-haired boy appears with what should be the exact definition of the true bookend. To the extent that he was starting to ask himself if they didn't have troll blood in them.

”Yes, what can I do for you?” As he didn't want more problems with the ferret boy right of the start, he asks politely.

At first, when he sees them Draco was about to sneer at them, belittle them and go for the next door be seeing that the boy was polite and sincere he refrain for the time being.

”Have you see Potter? I hear that he have his nose squashed!”

”I think he his further down, he came earlier, so if you haven't still seen him he could only be further.”

Nodding at the boy's words, he closed the door with glee evident on his face as his prey was nearer. When they were alone, he spoke to Hermione who has stayed quiet, knowing that the end wouldn't be pretty if she spoke now.

”And that another example. The boy just now is Draco Malfoy, Heir of the Magical House Malfoy. While they are only a Magical House, his father has two great weapons at his disposition.”

”What sort of weapons?”

”The first is his connection as the ring leader of the Death Eater after the fall of Voldemort, the second is his generous donation to the minister's pockets. Being his Heir, Draco will be the prince of Slytherin, meaning that as long that he isn't blatant about it, he will be out of arms way and the older will keep an eye on him. Saving the Heir of the man that had that much power means favor from him when they're out of Hogwarts, I know that you will not be in Slytherin, depending on the House, it would be better if you can avoid having anything to do with him.”

She blanched at the boy's family identity and take to heart the advice. Her future was already bleak, they were no need to stir a can of worms now, but she was also curious about his words.
