Beneath The Sky Of Hogwarts
First sight
King's Cross Station – Platform 9¾
The Hogwarts Express had been delayed for almost an hour. Students wandered around the platform, owls hooted from their cages, and parents chatted while waiting
scorpius malfoy
Dad why train isn't coming?👀
Draco
Its an hour delay , that's rare
scorpius malfoy
Where's Mum ?
Draco
She went to find your books , You somehow managed to forget two of your textbooks.
scorpius malfoy
I didn't forget them... they were on my desk!😌
Draco
Which is exactly why they're not in your trunk 🙂
scorpius malfoy
...Fair point
Both of them laugh softly
scorpius malfoy
I guess we'll have to wait for Mum before I can board
Draco
We have plenty of time.
scorpius malfoy
"Dad... every time we come to platform, you just stand there and stare at the platform. It's like you are lost somewhere. What are you thinking about?"
Draco smiled faintly, his eyes fixed on the empty tracks.
Draco
"I'm remembering the day that changed my life forever."
scorpius malfoy
The day you met Mum?
scorpius malfoy
"Then why has nobody ever told me this story? Uncle Harry, Uncle goyle... not even Mum."
Draco
"Because no one knows the whole story."
Draco
"Some stories are hidden by time. Others are buried because they're too dangerous to remember. Ours... was both."
scorpius malfoy
"So... this is a secret?"
Draco
Not a secret, son... just a chapter that was never written.
A warm smile appeared on his face
Draco
"Since your mum isn't back yet... I think it's finally time you heard the story no one else ever did."
Draco took a slow breath.
Draco
"It all began on a September morning... when the Hogwarts Express was delayed
crabbe
We're actually early today...
goyle
I skipped breakfast for this.
goyle
It is! My mother made cinnamon rolls.
crabbe
You could've brought them.
Draco
I surround myself with geniuses
Draco
That wasn't a compliment
A loud screech echoes across the platform as an owl escapes its cage
Random student= catch it! Catch itt!
The owl flies straight toward Goyle
The owl lands on Goyle's head
Draco
Congratulations. You've finally made a friend.
Draco
No. This is the most entertainment I've had all morning🤣
The owl pecks Goyle's hair before flying away
goyle
Thank godd! I am alive
Just then, familiar voices echo across the platform.
Ron
Fred! Give me my trunk back!
Draco
Yeah every single year 😒
Draco
Here's another headache!😒
pansy
I heard Potter's already on the train
Draco
Wonderful. Now I know which compartment to avoid
goyle
You say that every year
Draco
And every year he somehow finds me!
crabbe
Maybe he misses you🤣
Draco
Say that again and i,ll throw you onto the train track
A loud whistle echoed across the platform.
Station Guard: The train has been delayed! Please remain on the platform
crabbe
At least here's food
Draco
Your solution to every problem is food!
pansy
Since we're stuck here... race you all do a trolley race!
Draco
Seriously we're sixteen!
goyle
Last one there buys butterbeer
Draco sighs and join them!
Students dodged trunks, pets, and one another
Draco turned at corner at full speed...
A suitcase burst open.
Books, parchment, quills, and clothes scattered everywhere
Draco rubbed his forehead while the stranger glared at him from the floor.
Evelyn AshB
Are you blind?
Draco
Me? You walked into me!
Evelyn AshB
Excuse me? You were the one running like a Hippogriff with anger issues!
goyle
(trying not to laugh) Draco... I think she just insulted you
Evelyn AshB
And you should apologise
Draco
For your terrible sense of direction?
Evelyn AshB
Wow! You're unbelievably arrogant!
Draco
Funny. I was about to say the same thing about you
The crowd around them began whispering
The mysterious girl folded her arms.
Evelyn AshB
What's your name?
Evelyn AshB
Never heard of you
crabbe
She doesn't know who Draco Malfoy is?
For the first time in years, Draco is completely speechless
She picks up the last of her books, dusts off her coat, and walks past him without another glance
Evelyn AshB
Try not to crash into anyone else, Mr. Never-Heard-Of.
Draco turns around, still staring after her
goyle
Someone actually bruised your ego
The Hogwarts Express whistle echoes across Platform 9¾
The mysterious girl disappears into the crowd... leaving Draco Malfoy standing there with more questions than answers
