As I walked into Flourish and Blotts I looked for the books I needed for my first year.
As I grab a couple of books I notice a blonde out of the corner of my eye. Walking up to him I sneer, "Malfoy," he notices my presence and he says "Burkhart" with disgust dripping from the word. We stare into each others eyes with pure hatred, it was a tense moment and I break it by bursting into laughter. Draco joins in with me and I give him a hug.
"It's been too long Jess. I haven't seen you in ages, where've you been?" he says.
"I could ask you the same," I say. "We haven't seen each other in like what... five or six years? At least we will have time to catch up since we're in the same year. Maybe even the same house if we get lucky. It'll be like good ol' times" I continue and playfully punch Draco in the arm.
He looks behind me sending someone a glare causing me to turn around and be face to face with a ginger, Ron. I give him a smile and he asks me, "You coming?" I look out the shops window and notice our families talking. I nod and tell him I'll be out in a minute. He returns a hateful look at Draco but finally leaves.
"You shouldn't hang out with those blood traitors Jess. They aren't worthy of your company," he says once Ron leaves. "Oh Dray, I'm not a princess, and he's not a person who needs to "earn" my time," I tell him.
He looks me right in the eye and says, " You are perfect in every way, I'm surprised if you aren't secretly a princess." I laugh at his remark and then say, "Dray, I thought you knew me better. Obviously I would be a queen." Draco chuckles and then bows before me, "Well I'm so sorry your Majesty. Do you know who will become your King?" I bring my hand up to my face stroking my chin with a thoughtful look. "I believe that my most trusted knight should become king. Right now I believe that would be Ron." I say and Draco's mouth falls open in shock. "Wha.." is all he can manage and I double over laughing. He stops closing his mouth again and looks at me full of hurt.
"Oh Dray, you should have seen the look on your face. It was priceless. Did you honestly believe Ron would be my king. Hell no! I want you to be my king. How 'bout that?" I ask him. His eyes fill light and he gives me a hug whispering, "I would be honored" into my ear. I laugh and then remember I still have to go. I take a step back from Draco and say, "The Queen needs to go with her family now but I will see you again soon." Draco smiles, stares off into space for a second and then gives me a quick peck on the cheek. "I'll be saving you a seat next to me on the train." he says. I look at him, my king and walk out the door to join my and Ron's family.
I then knew I was in love with Draco Malfoy.
