The train finally stops as it hits nightfall. I check the small watch face on my wrist, it was 6:30 meaning that I have been travelling more than seven hours. No wonder I am exhausted.

Just as I am about to stand up, I see Uncle Severus stood outside the window of my carriage. He pulls out his wand and waves it over the door.

"You made it in one piece I presume?" He snarled through his nose at me as he steps into the small carriage.

"Just about" I reply as I take a step back so that there is more room.

He waved his wand at the door again and closes it behind him. "So, this is what is going to happen. You're going to go straight to Dumbledore's office and he will sort you into your house. I also trust you are caught up with all your work?" He says glaring at me.

"Yes all caught up." I reply which makes him straighten his face.

"I'll see you in the Great Hall then, Ivy."

He pulls out his wand again and with a flash I am inside Dumbledore's office. Or what I think is his office anyway.

It was a circle room with a cone like ceiling, obviously his office would be at the top of the tower. In front of me was a dark wood desk with a folder of what looked to be like ancient paper with cursive writing scribbled on them in an almost black coloured ink. The only thing on the folder I could read was my name on the front. Because it was only three letters and they couldn't really be joined up, it was much easier to read. Next to this was an old leather pointy hat.

I walk to the desk to try and see if I could make out any of the writing that was on the folder. As I approach the desk the wrinkles in the old hat start to form a face which then shouted "OI" at me just as I am about to make out what else it says on the folder.

"What was that for you stupid hat?" I shout back in shock.

"Those are private documents about a student" the hat snaps back at me. "Only for Professor Dumbledore's eyes."

"And that student would be me" I exclaim back. I walk back over to the desk and go to reach the folder filled with papers, "now let me look at my file." Just as I can get my hands on the file, I hear a door open behind me.

"Who are you?" I hear a voice from behind me whale. I turn around to see a blonde haired boy with piercing blue eyes staring back at me. He was dressed head to tie in black. His black blazer drapped over a black shirt with some of the buttons left open so I could just about see his chest. "Hello?" he says again waving his hand in front of me.

"I'm Ivy" I say while pushing my dark hair out of my face.

"Ivy what?" he smirks while walking closer to me. As he got closer to me I could tell he was a lot taller than me. All I could smell was the strong scent of cologne that he had clearly drown himself in before walking into the room.

"Ivy none of your fucking business" I smile at him as he faces me.

He comes even closer to me to the point he is almost breathing on me, and smells me. "Pureblood. What's your family name?" he asks looking down at me.

"Firstly, I'm surprised you can smell me with all the cologne you've doused yourself in, and secondly why on God's earth should I tell you. I don't even know who you are!" I exclaim at him while taking a step backwards.

"No fucking way. You're a Snape aren't you?" he laughs in my face.

My face instantly turns red as I get caught out. "Oh fuck off." I say while rolling my eyes.

"I'm Malfoy." he finally spits out while holding his hand out.

"What's your first name?" I say sarcastically to him while shaking his hand.

"Draco" he replies.
