Draco hid his love for green apples for as long as he could. He would hide his apples under his bed, in his pillowcase, in his trunk, in his school bag, in his robe pockets and in his Slytherin trunk.  He really didn't know how he'd be able to hide his obsession forever though. He knew exactly how people would react if they found out.

Hermione, she'd say something like: "Oh... Draco and green apples...hmmm. How odd!"

Harry, he'd just laugh and joke with Ron.

Snape would be very disappointed. "Mr Malfoy, what could ever possess you into being obsessed with apples? Especially green apples?"

Luna would be probably the most chill with it. "Woah, Draco. I'm so glad a troubled soul like you likes green apples as much as I do...Don't worry, you are just as sane as I am." 

Neville would nervously walk away from the situation.

Lucius Malfoy would not be very happy. "Draco, my son, having an obsession with apples?"

"Y-yes, father."

"Really?"

"Yes, father."

"Did your mother and I not raise you to be better?"

"Yes, father."

"So why stoop to this level, Draco. Apples are just apples."

"Sorry, father."

"How dare you?"

"Sorry-"

"I will speak to Dumbledore and make sure he removes all green apples from Hogwarts." Lucius bellowed

"No-"

"Yes, Draco. I will not allow you to partake in these sick and twisted things anymore."

"But  father, I love eating green apples. If you take them away I'll run away."

"You will not. I will send Dementors from Azkaban to hunt you down if you run."

"But I love the apples, father. Please let me eat them. I can hide them in my dorm room so nobody else sees them."

"You share a room with 4 other boys, they will see them or hear you crunching them in the middle of the night."

"I'll use a spell to hide the noise."

Lucius grabbed his son by the collar. "You will learn to behave, Draco. No more eating apples."

"Please."

"Absolutely not. I will leave now and return to Malfoy Manor. Your mother will not be pleased to find this news."

Later that day, Dumbledore invited Draco to his office.

"Mr Malfoy."

"Yes, Professor?"

"Your father has informed me of your love for apples."

"Yes, green ones, sir."

"And you do love them?"

"Yes, sir."

"And you eat them daily?"

"Yes, multiple times a day."

"And you are obsessed with the apples, Draco?"

"Yes, sir."

"And you understand why this is wrong, don't you, Draco?"

"Well when I was your age I was also obsessed with apples."

"Really?"

"Yes, Pink lady apples."

"How did you overcome it?"

"I managed, over many years, to limit myself to one a day at breakfast."

"How?"

"I paced myself, Draco. Accept that nobody will understand this obsession like you do and you need to keep it to yourself until you have it under control."

"Yes, Professor."

"How many have you had today."

"8."

"Ok. Only have one tomorrow. Please only have one a day, Draco."

"I'll try. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who loves apples."

"No worries, Draco."
