This is a Drarry one-shot series. Every title will start with the next letter of the alphabet. So the title of the first one shot will start with an A and the last with a Z
I will put trigger warnings in the beginning of the one shot if necessary.
When we were 11 years old he offered me his hand and I denied.
"So it's true then? Harry Potter's come to Hogwarts" the boy with the blond slick back hair smirked at me. "this is Crabbe and Goyle, and I'm Draco Malfoy". I had a hard time keeping in my laughter, Ron wasn't that lucky. "You think my name is funny, do you. I don't need to ask yours, red hair and hand me down ropes, you must be a Weasley. You will find that some wizarding family's are better than others. I can help you with that". The boy in front of me disgusted me. I stepped forward and said "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks".
When we were 18 years old he offered me his hand ones again, this time I excepted.
"It has been eight years Potter, I will ask you this again, because we are sharing a dorm and a common room. So please will you be my friend?". It didn't took me long to decide. I took his hand and shook it. "off course I will be your friend. Call me Harry".
When we were 18.5 years old I kissed him and he kissed back.
It was a Friday night and it involved a game of truth of dare and a lot of alcohol. "Harry truth or dare?" Ron asked me. I stupidly replied "dare". "I dare you to kiss your crush". I send a death glare towards Ron before my cheeks had gotten a chance to turn pink. I tried to gather all my inner courage. I turned around and kissed Draco full on the lips, the world seemed to disappear, nothing seemed to matter anymore, only me, me him and our lips together. A few seconds went by and Draco started to kiss back.
When we were 20 years old we moved in together.
Box op on box, op on box. A little flat on the east side of London, just for me and for him, to share. We decided that after two and a half years of dating, that it was time to move in together. It would be easily be cheaper because we already spend every second of every minute of every day together. We moved into a small two bedroom apartment, big enough for the two of us.
I opened the door to my new home hidden behind my back a bunch of pure white lily's. I walk into the living room where Draco is laying on the couch. I handed him the flowers with the words "just because I felt like it".
When we were 22 years old he got onto one knee and asked me to be his forever.
We were sitting in a fancy restaurant for a date night. It was our four year anniversary today so we went on a date. We were both wearing muggle tuxedo's. we already had the most amazing pasta dish and now we were waiting for our desert. When it was served it came with one white lily. Draco handed it to me. He took both my hands in his and looks me in the eyes with his own stormy grey ones. It looked like he had to swallow ones before he could speak "my dear, I love you so much. The last four years of my life have been amazing with you. You were there for me when I was sad, when I was happy, when the world turned against me and when the world saw who I truly am. My life wouldn't be complete without you. So Harry do you want to be mine forever? Will you marry me?"
When we were 23 years old I officially was his.
I was tying my black tie of my black suit. On my suit one white lily. Hermione came into the room together with Ron and Neville. Ron and Neville were both in black suits as well and Hermione in a red dress.
An hour later I looked at my gorgeous lover and said "I do".
When we were 27 years old we got a little girl.

(A/N Lesotho is pointed out on the map for everybody that doesn't know were it is.)
This was the day. That day we got to take our little girl home, back to London. We were in a magical orphanage in Lesotho. We were going to take home our little Ayoke (A/N:means: someone that brings happiness in African) she was two months old. As I cradled my new daughter, Draco putted his arm around me and said "we did it. We finally got our little princess".
When we were 38 years old we send our only child to school.
The red steam train doomed up before me, for the first time in 19 years I saw it. The red was still as vibrant as ever and the smoke from the engine still made the platform full of smoke. I put my arm around Ayoke while she took in the train, before we went to find Ron and Hermione. Draco comes up at the other side of our daughter and putted his arm around her other shoulder. When we spotted Ron's tall figure we walked up to them and exchange hugs.
As the train left the platform I wiped a tear from the corner of my eye. I send away my beloved daughter to school, were she will meet new friends, possible found love.
When we were 53 years old we got a son in law.
My sweet little girl had grown into a beautiful woman. I can't believe it has been twenty-six years since we adopted her. So much has happened over the last years. When Ayoke was in Hogwarts she became best friends with William Johnsen, they reminded me of Ron and Hermione, everybody saw that they were in love with each other except for themselves. But in their sixth year they finally got together and eight years later, my beautiful daughter was wearing a stunning white gown and was getting ready to walk down the aisle. Draco and I took our positions on either side of her before the music started and we had to give her away.
When we were 55 years old we got two grandchildren.
We woke up from a patronus one night at 3 am. It was the patronus of my son in law that spoke "They are coming". We jumped straight out of bed, quickly put on clothes and flowed to st Mungo's. we went straight to our daughters side taking her left hand in ours, while William took her right. At 6 AM the children were born, two beautiful girls, Aurora Olivia Johnsen and Dawn Jasmin Johnsen.
When we were 70 years old when we became I.
One green light made my world fall apart, one green light made my happiness go away, one green light stole my reason to live, one green light killed my love. One spell, one curse could leave so much damage to so many lives. One stray deatheater took away the person closest to my heart, the person I cared for most in live. He took away my other half.
When I was 80 years old I joined him.
I am lying in bed all my friends and family surrounding me. It is clear I am breathing my final breaths. As the breathing gets harder I begin to relive my life. I see everything, the handshakes, the kiss, the apartment, the proposal, the wedding, the adoption, sending my little girl away, and giving her away, I see my grandchildren being born and I see the green lights again. I needed to see those to be able to whisper my last words "it all started with a handshake".
