CONSEQUENCE The boy who survived

Chapter 1 - Everything going to plan.

"A pleasure to meet you" The boy replied "My name is Hadrian, but you can call me Harry"

"Just Harry?" Daphne asked "don't you have a last name?"

"Yes I do, but I prefer to get to know a person before I reveal my name. Besides, I'm sure you'll hear it at the sorting later"

"True" Daphne nodded "I can assume your name is well known"

"Yes, annoyingly well know" Harry replied "but enough about me, are you looking forwards to Hogwarts?"

"Yes I am" Daphne replied "I'm expecting to be sorted into Slytherin, what about you?"

"If I had to choose it'd be either Ravenclaw or Slytherin" He answered "although, I honestly don't care which house I'm in but those two houses give you your own room. At least that way I have a place to go if anybody bothers me."

"I understand what you mean, in Slytherin there are always a few idiots. My father warned me that Lucius Malfoys son is starting this year."

"I'm guessing you're not particularly fond of him" Harry smiled

"I hate him" Daphne immediately replied "I...oh I'm sorry, I shouldn't be ranting"

"It's alright, I rather like the sound of your voice." Harry replied, Daphne blushed a little but hid it "why don't you like him?"

"Because if he's anything like his father then he'll be an arrogant and cocky and annoying, his father is also trying to force a marriage contract between me and him. My dad is getting tired of fighting him off but he won't let him make the contract."

Before Harry could reply, the compartment door was opened. Standing in the doorway, looking like he was Merlin's gift to wizard kind, was one Draco Malfoy. Behind him were two boys who looked like they were his bodyguards.

"Greengrass" He smiled, and Daphne had to resist getting up and punching him in the face "I'm pleased to see you"

"Such a shame I don't feel the same way" Daphne said with fake sweetness "now will you please leave and stop bothering me?"

"Who are you?" Draco turned to Harry "Judging by your clothes I can assume that you're just another mudblood"

"Mr Malfoy was it?" Harry asked in a calm and cool voice "Unlike you, I have not forgotten the proper etiquette that comes with being a member of a well-respected house. In case you need reminding, you are supposed to introduce yourself and extend your hand" Draco reddened a little, before reluctantly extending his hand.

"I am Draco Malfoy, heir to the Malfoys, who are you?"

"A little better" Harry shrugged "my name is Hadrian, but I also go by Harry. My last name, you can discover it at the sorting." Harry stood up and grabbed Malfoys hand, Malfoy yelped in pain as he felt his bones being crushed. "I am not a muggleborn, but I had better not hear you saying that word again."

Harry let Malfoy go, Malfoy was about to reach for his wand when he found a wand aimed between his eyes. Harry looked at him, his green eyes blazing but his body as still as a rock.

"Careful Mr Malfoy" Harry said "it wouldn't look good for the Malfoy heir to attend the sorting with a black eye and a few broken bones."
