Feigning boredom through the Sorting was easy enough. The new Slytherins, their surnames entwined through generations of blood and marriage, were no surprise. Schooled in each's particular weakness and loyalties owed, Draco was prepared to reenact his father's machinations ad nauseum.

And bored.

But something—someone—belied his apathy. His gaze landed on the nearby table, his pride still stinging from cutting words, a discovery unexpected as glittering gemstones secreted inside a worn geode.

"I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks."

Yes. This was new.

Intrigued, a tiny part of Draco's jaded eleven-year-old soul glittered back.

Interesting explanation for his later fascination with Harry, but I can totally imagine it . . . finally something different.

Thanks! Yeah, it would make sense, I think -- the first person to do something he really didn't expect.

Oh I love it! The beginning of his obsession. I especially love this: a discovery unexpected as glittering gemstones secreted inside a worn geode and this: a tiny part of Draco's jaded eleven-year-old soul glittered back.

What can I say, I do like my rocks. ;)

Thank you so much! I do think it's that first spark that connected them. *nod*
