"How do I start?" Draco asked when we got to the Common Room. I sat down and leaned back with a smiled on my face.

"Try and become friends with good people." I said.

"So Weasley?..." He asked, unsure. I nodded and he sighed.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"I can't be friends with a mudblo- I mean muggle-born and can't be friends with blood traitors." Draco said.

"But freedom is what you want right?" I asked.

"How about you help me? Take me to your brother's friends and we'll try and do something." Draco stated, standing up. I nodded and quickly took him to the Great Hall.

"Harry!" I called. Harry jerked his head up and walked towards us.

"What? Is Draco and you dating now?" He asked bitterly. I shook my head and Harry sighed with relief.

"Draco wants to be friends with Hermione and Ron." I said.

"Yeah..." Draco said. Harry looked at him and snarled.

"No." He said.

"Please! The reason why he's so rude is because of his father." I said, trying to persuade Harry. Harry rolled his eyes and told us to follow him and we did.

"Why is Draco here?" I heard someone whisper. Draco gulped and dropped his gaze.

"It's alright." I whispered.

"Hey Harry... why is Draco here?" She asked. Harry gave me a glance and Hermione laughed.

                                                                         ...

"Wait, Draco wants to be friends with us?!" Ron asked. I nodded and looked at Harry.

"Please?..." I pleaded.

"Fine... but if he starts to be rude then both of you will never talk to us ever again." Harry stated.

"Isn't that a little harsh?" Ron asked.

"Alright." I said at the same time. Draco smiled a little and we headed to the Slytherin Table.

"Do you feel the freedom?" I asked happily. Draco nodded and gave me a side hug.

"Thanks Linda, so what's next?"
