Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone

[Draco Malfoy] turned to Harry. "You'll soon find out some wizarding families are much better then others, Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there." He held out his hand to shake Harry's, but Harry didn't take it.

He paused trying to figure out if he should go with his instincts and back away from Malfoy's hand or take it and plunge down a new path in this new world. Could this boy be correct, there is so much about the wizarding community Harry doesn't know. Is there anyway this boy could really help out him in this new world popping up around him.

Then again Malfoy's personality did remind Harry of Dudley and Harry has never had any kind of great treatment from his cousin will he really get anything better from his new boy? He did sort of talk down when talking about Hagrid, and Hagrid really is a great person.

While Harry was trying to decide what to do it gave Malfoy the opening he needed to motion to Crabbe and Goyle to block Ron from Harry's vision.

The movement quickly brought Harry back to the present and he slowly starting back out of the compartment.

Malfoy smiled smugly at his apparent success and waved for Crabbe and Goyle to fallowed Harry out of the compartment. As Malfoy exited the door he turned to face Ron and said, “Weasley don’t worry I’m sure some other sorry sap with join you on the rest of the trip to Hogwarts.” And while he quickly closed the door he laughed maliciously.

Ron stood bewildered at the closed door wondering if he should try and save his new friends.

Moments later the door opened and Harry ran back into the compartment slamming the door behind him and holding it closed. Ron stared back at the out of breath Harry dumbfounded until he saw Crabbe and Goyle widely running towards the door both red faced and angry.

“Bloody Harry what did you do?” As Ron ran to help Harry hold the door closed he saw Malfoy laying on the ground holding his nose as blood gushed out around his figures.

“I opened a door to another compartment to get away and Malfoy and he walked right into it. He thought I did it on purpose and sent the other two after me. If the hallway had been any wider I wouldn’t have been able to slip by them.”
