This wand can easily bend to dark magic for his user's well being. It is close to impossible to make this wand betray its owner

* This wand is currently damaged

Features:??

The user is still weak for a complete appraisal of this wand].

Draco scoffed at the description. It is completely contradictory to his character, 'for greater good', he is not Dumbeldore and has no plan of ever becoming one. He is a selfish and arrogant prat and he accept it. Although it is true that he have always tried to prove himself in front of others, especially his father and others in front of his peers who thought that he is nothing without the Malfoy name. But what confused him the most is that what is this Kirin? He has never heard of such creature. Maybe it is not native of Europe or maybe it is an extinct species. But he can judge from the description that the animal is a holy and sacred like a unicorn, no ever more then it. He tried to found more about this creature in the Malfoy and Black family's libraries and has investigated all the magzines and books on rare creatures, he can find but it's a dead end. Now he is more sure of his extinction theory and is more determined to hide his wand from others. What irked him the most is that he is still weak. Then what else can he do?

Days passed and his day for Hogwarts come by. Draco had forgotten about buying an owl, so his father bought him one instead, His Owl was a Great Grey Owl, the biggest of his kind which he named Grey or mainly shortened his technical name. Grey mostly stayed inside his suitcase where he had a lot of space to fly around in.

Today is September 1st, and the day to board the train.

When the family of three arrived at London's king cross Station and are about to go for the express, Draco suddenly stopped. There she is, a bunch of bushy brown hair, big brown eyes full of life and anticipation of a foreign world. She has rather large front teeth but it only made her look cuter. The know-it-all swot, teacher's pet, one- third of golden trio, who else it would be other then the war heroine, Hermione Granger or future war heroine, he can say. A girl he both despises and admire at the same time. An analomy which contradicts all his pureblood notions. Who even though being Muggleborn has forced him to notice her; by her wits, her personality and specifically her disinterest in him if we do not count that punch on his face in the third year. Her looks which she has only shown on Yule Ball are an added bonus. A forbidden fruit which he wants to taste but cannot due to his loyalities and her tag of being Potter's best buddy. He is staring at the small witch with complex emotions which do not go unnoticed by his parents.

Lucius merely snorted but did not comment while Narcissa gave a small smile seeing such a scenario. The Granger family can be seen struggling with the workings of the platform, typical for Muggles and Draco can't help but look at his mother to which she nodded. They make their way towards the confused Granger family and introduce themselves.

"Sorry to interrupt but are you looking for Hogwarts express? If you like we can help you. Oh where are my manners, my name is Narcissa Malfoy, this is my husband Lucius Malfoy and our son Draco Malfoy".

"Yes, yes. Thanks you, your help is very much needed. My name is Rose Granger, this is my husband Benjamin Granger and our daughter Hermione Granger".

Lucius a little apprehensively shake hands with Benjamin. Both his wife and son smile seeing the improvement in his personality. Then they explained the workings of the platform and train. The Granger couple is a little skeptical in their information, especially the non existing platform 9 3/4. They observed them for sometime thinking it's a prank. But getting no response they are compelled to ask. "Are you sure that we will not injure themselves by hitting that wall".

Lucius roll his eyes and Narcissa spoke softly, "You don't need to be afraid, you can watch us first, but remember only wizards or witches can enter the barrier, so you have to hold your daughter while crossing the barrier otherwise you both will get rejected". They nodded and watch as the whole Malfoy family disappeared into the wall. Even after being foretold, they can't help but be shocked. Magic is too bizarre for their scientific minds. Preparing themselves, they close their eyes and run towards the barrier. After crossing the barrier, they let out another gasp seeing another platform and a locomotive which is well hidden from the non-magical people. They can see the Malfoy family mingling with other people and judging by their outfits and manners, they can be aristocrats. Narcissa quickly introduce them to the Nott, Zabini, Parkinson, Crabbe and Goyle families. At first they are awkward but then seeing their welcoming gesture they quickly become comfortable. Lady Zabini and Goyle Sr. are patiently answering the Granger's queries regarding the wizarding world. Over the years they have also become tolerant of Muggles and even friendly because they know that being hostile to them with their advanced technology and large population is a moronic idea. So they are all in favour of bridging the gap between their communities. So a strange scene is happening at King Cross, where many ex-deatheaters are helping a muggle couple. This will definitely be tomorrow's headline with some spicy gossip by a certain illegal animagus.

Meanwhile Pansy is scowling at Hermione who is conversing with Draco.

'Deep breaths, Pansy. Drake is too kind for his own good. Yes he can't watch a helpless person even if it's a filthy mudblood. You cannot show your ugly side to him otherwise he will hate you. They will probably never meet again after all we live in a different world from her. Yes don't need to worry yourself'. Seeing it both Theo and Blaise smiled bitterly. They both know that Pansy has something for Draco since the first time they meet but it is mostly a one sided obsession. They can't help but look at Draco with pity.

"Hello my name is Hermione Granger, nice to meet you all". They all introduce themselves one by one to her. Meanwhile the horn for train sounded and they begin to say goodbye to their parents.

"When you arrive at school, send us an owl to let us know that you have safely arrived there and keep sending letters every now and then, to let us know that you are okay. Mother will send you your favorite sweets and cakes every week, but you are not allowed to eat too much of it. Also, you are not allowed to stay up all night at school. And you have to come home for Christmas or else I will be very mad." Narcissa hugged her son and kept telling him what to do and not to do in school. Since it was Draco's first time away from home she was very worried.

"Okay, Narcissa the train is about to leave and Draco, I wish you a smooth semester," Lucius said trying to console his wife, but you could still hear some sadness in his voice.

Draco hugged his mother tightly and kissed her cheeks, "Don't worry too much about me after all I will be back in Christmas."

He looked at his father and both of them nodded at each other in understanding.

He took his suitcase, which was all the luggage he carried and walked away from his parents.

"Take care both of you, I will miss you a lot," Draco said walking towards his gang who were waving at their parents. They looked around and found an empty compartment to settle in. All his friends sit with him and Hermione who is unfamiliar with everyone except them also entered in their compartment. Draco do a expansion charm and helped in placing her suitcase with "Wingardium Leviosa" which only makes Pansy hate her even more.

"You are really very masterful in spells, Draco. I've tried a few simple spells just for practice and it's all worked for me. Nobody in my family's magic at all, it was ever such a surprise when I got my letter, but I was ever so pleased, of course, I mean, it's the very best school of witchcraft there is, I've heard -- I've learned all our course books by heart, of course, I just hope it will be enough.." She continued to talk and all except Pansy found it intriguing to talk to someone outside their world.

As they were chatting, there was a sudden knock on the door of the compartment and a round-faced boy came in, he looked tearful.

"Sorry," he said, "but have you seen a toad at all?"

When they shook their heads, he wailed, "I've lost him! He keeps getting away from me!"

"Hahaha.." Pansy laughed out loud, "I knew students were allowed to bring toads but I seriously didn't think someone was going to do it."

Theo was also laughing, "Haha, I feel sorry for you... if someone like Draco found your toad, you can be sure that the toad is in a glass jar somewhere."

"Maybe a snake has eaten it" Blaise joked while Crabbe and Goyle snickered.

The boy looked even more teary now wondering the fate of his toad. Draco can't help but look at the boy, suddenly the image of a young man cutting the head of that dreadful snake surfaced in his mind. His previous self have never thought that this teary boy will show the greatest courage of them all in the most crucial period. He really wants to laugh but at himself. The more he meet these Gryffindorks, the more he realised that he has wasted his previous life; while all of them were improving, he was regressing in life. He smiled wistlfully at the boy and goes to help the boy with Hermione.

Hermione was a little angry at his friends but he explained that seeing him so teary eyed for a toad makes them laugh. This reasoning let out a laugh from herself and he also chuckled. When they were searching for the frog, they come across two people which makes him flinch a little. The 'Golden Trio' is together again but in different circumstances. He can't help but think to himself that the future will be interesting.
