Eleven-year-old Harry Potter steps into Madam Malkin's robe shop and meets Dracina Malfoy, a silver-eyed pure-blood princess who expects him to kiss her hand. When Harry refuses her offer of friendship on the Hogwarts Express and chooses Ron Weasley instead, Dracina decides he must be hers anyway, and spends their first year hiding a fierce, possessive devotion behind sneers and sharp words. As Harry finds his place at Hogwarts, as Seeker, as friend to Ron and Hermione, and as the boy Hagrid rescued, Dracina's attention is everywhere. She brawls with Ron at the Quidditch match, catches Harry with a dragon, and clings to his hand in the Forbidden Forest the night something is drinking the unicorns' blood. Meanwhile Hermione, quietly, is beginning to notice Harry too. Through the Mirror of Erised, Quirrell's twisted secret and the trapdoor's deadly protections, Harry is drawn towards a final confrontation for the Philosopher's Stone, never realising that the girl who sneers at him loudest is the one who noticed him first.
