3rd September 1991
Slytherin dormitory
"Jeez Harry you really outdid yourself yesterday."
Harry had topped all the classes the previous day. He tended the garden in the house and as a potion student he needed to differentiate most plants that are potion ingredients. He had already read ahead of the syllabus so he excelled, doing everything on the first try. History of magic was fun for everyone including the slytherins, despite the Teachers being former gryffindors. Sirius and Remus were enthusiastic and motivated, acting out most of the ancient wars, somehow managing to showcase the weapons used in the past.
Harry smiled and coughed.
"A true slytherin must be the best at everything they do."
"God he's going to get along with bloody baron."
"I'm already friends with him-"
"When Harry dies he'll come back to Hogwarts and haunt future generations."
"Oi don't jinx Harry, or he'll find someway to be reincarnated and come after you."
The whole slytherin group was on their way to defence against the dark arts after acing herbology. The girls had split from the boys and were currently having their own conversation, goyle and crabbe were unable to process the conversation and thus kept quiet. 
"Yes Theo if Blaise did jinx me you are exempted from my revenge."
"Nice job Blaise you earned yourself a one way trip to hell."
"Wow draco used a muggle saying."
"Oh no here comes the paper lions."
As Theo said they arrived at the DADA classroom which all the gryffindors had gathered around. The two houses stared at each other awkwardly. Harry decided to break the silence.
"Hi Jonas!"
Harry randomly hugged the taller boy, all the gryffindors staring at Jonas. Draco snorted lightly while the rest had to cover their mouths to stop from laughing. They had already heard of Harry's great acting from Blaise but it was hilarious watching how Harry manipulated the boy who lived to his advantage. 
"Good job Harry if Jonas pushes you away it'll make him lose face."
Expectedly Jonas hugged back.
"Hello brother!"
"Jonas he's a slytherin!"
"So what Ron he's still my brother. If your brother was in slytherin would you treat them differently?"
"Well...no."
"Exactly."
"Oh yeah Jonas meet dray! He's really cool."
Blaise bit his hand as he tried to keep his composure as Harry pulled the incredulous draco over. Theo was attempting hide behind a book, pansy was all out giggling while Daphne smiled and chuckled. Millicent was laughing as well.
"...nice to meet you malfoy."
"Returned potter."
Both shook hands stiffly.
When Jonas turned around to go back to his own conversation draco rounded on Harry.
"Dude why did you do that?!"
"Huh cuz it's fun."
"You pulled one on draco."
"What pfft was haha with that hahaha "dray!"
"It's for fun."
"That was amazing Harry."
"Thank you milady Daphne."
"Your welcome gentleman."
Both faked bowed curtsied while draco gagged.
"Oh please Harry on what planet are you a gentleman."
"To the ladies I am."
"Typical slytherin..."
DADA was boring, other than a few glares here and there with a few quills being thrown around the gryffindors didn't start anything, despite their overwhelming numbers over the few slytherins. Jonas must have told them to not start anything. Professor quirrell was lame. He got startled by every little sound. By the time everyone filed out of the classroom all the slytherins were going to do self study.
"That crazy old man getting any and every possible candidate I doubt he even checks them properly."
"Quirrell should be thrown in the forbidden forest wonder what's he gonna do about that."
Pansy joked and other than Theo, daphne and Harry everyone else laughed. Harry once again aced transfiguration and charms while the other slytherins just rolled their eyes saying that Harry should have been a ravenclaw.
"Not my fault you all are stupid."
Harry had replied which elicited a lot of protests from the others. During lunch break Theo draco and Harry had walked off to the library after grabbing some chicken pie. 
"Explain why I'm with you."
"You wanna be the outcast draco?"
"Besides..."
"THE LIBRARY IS AWESOME!"
Draco facepalmed at the two bookish slytherins. 
The library was empty except for a few seniors. Theo and Harry launched into a booklist of what to look for with draco's occasional input. Draco walked away, his father wanted him to find a book in Hogwarts called Tom riddles diary or something. 
"Why would there be a diary here of all places?"
Draco then spotted a locket on one of the shelves. It exuded evil energy, and the air around it was polluted. Draco walked over, curious.
"This is...Salazar slytherins locket!"
Draco quickly hid it under his robe. His father would be very happy to know that he got such a treasure. Harry looked up when draco returned.
"What is draco holding? I better ask him later."
