The Apple Of My Eye - Drapple

Chapter 1

"I SWEAR I WILL FIND OUT WHO DID THIS AND KILL THEM IMMEDIATELY!" Draco shrieked at the top of his lungs.

1 WEEK EARLIER

"I love you."

Draco stared at the apple. It stared back, it's beautiful green skin in the palm of Draco's hand. Draco breathed in the scent of his true love. It smelled like an apple. He held the apple up to his lips and kissed it passionately.

"You're the only one I'll ever love." Draco whispered before kissing his apple again.

"DRACO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Lucius Malfoy's voice boomed across the house.

"NOTHING!" Draco shouted back. He smiled lovingly at his apple. "Sorry about that."

Staring at his apple almost brought tears to his eyes. He had no idea how he'd gotten so lucky.

"Listen, I've loved you from the first day I met you." Draco began, taking a deep breath. "You look so beautiful tonight, and I just wanted to ask you something."

Draco looked straight at the apple. He was nervous but excited. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Will you marry me?"

The apple did not respond.

Draco smiled nervously. "Well?"

The apple seemed to nod in his hand. Draco breathed out a sigh of relief and pressed his lips to the apple again. As he kissed the apple, he thought about how lucky he was.

7 DAYS LATER

Draco was deeply in love. After a rough day at work, he ran home, barely saying hello to his dad before bolting into his room and putting his lips on his apple. But he quickly pulled away, knowing something was wrong. He took a closer look at his apple and screamed.

Somebody had taken a bite out of his apple.

Immediately, Draco went into panic mode, pacing the floor with tears running down his cheeks. How could someone do that to his true love? How could someone rip out a piece of his true love with their teeth? Draco cried even harder the more he thought about it.

"Draco!" Lucius snapped, walking in and seeing Draco on the floor, crying his eyes out. His face softened. "Draco?"

Draco slowly looked up, looked at his apple, and then at his father with fear and sadness in his face. "Did you do this?"

"Do what?" Lucius asked. "What happened?"

"S-s-someone took a b-bite out of m-my apple!" Draco sobbed.

Lucius gasped. "Oh NO! Who would do that?" He glared at Draco. "Maybe somebody was hungry."

Draco glared back at his father. "I'm going to find out who did it."

LATER THAT NIGHT

"Ah, yes, that's pleasant." Voldemort commented. "But it's also irrelevant. Where is Draco?"

"I'm right here." Draco said with his teeth clenched.

"Now, now, Draco." Lucius scolded him. "Be nice. I'm sorry, he broke up with his... lover."

"We didn't break up!" Draco cried. "W-we just have to repair some things!"

"Get over yourself, Draco!" Bellatrix exclaimed. "You have a job to do!"

"I DON'T CARE!" Draco screamed. "I SWEAR I WILL FIND OUT WHO DID THIS AND KILL THEM IMMEDIATELY!"

"It was Albus Dumbledore." Voldemort said.

"What?" Draco gasped. His eyes narrowed. "DUMBLEDORE!"

"Yes, and you must kill him." Voldemort said wisely. Bellatrix and Lucius nodded in agreement.

"Oh, I'll kill him, alright!" Draco announced. "NOBODY EATS MY APPLE!"

Suddenly, Draco felt a pang in his heart, and somehow he knew that something was wrong. He sprinted to his room and picked up his apple. Instantly, he noticed it.

His apple was slowly turning brown.

Draco gasped. He grabbed his apple and ran to his refrigerator. Quickly, he wrapped his apple in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator.

"Please, let my love be okay." Draco whispered, clasping his hands together. Then, he stopped being sad and started being angry. He wiped his hands on his jeans, grabbed his wand, and apparrated to just outside of the Hogwarts grounds (since you can't apparrate in Hogwarts). He walked in, not paying any attention to Mr. Filch standing outside.

"DUMBLEDORE!" Draco shrieked. "YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE! COME OUT, YOU COWARD!"

Dumbledore walked out calmly. "Are you alright, Draco?"

"Not after what you've done." Draco said in a low voice. "I was planning on killing you anyways, but now that you've nearly killed my one and only true love, I think your time to die is NOW!"

Draco quickly grabbed his wand and pointed it at Dumbledore. "First, I will make you suffer. CRUCIO!"

"PROTAGO!" Dumbledore shouted, repelling Draco's spell. It hit Draco, who screamed in pain and flopped onto the floor. A fire burnt on every square inch of his body. His flesh was being burnt by an 1000 degree knife, which was cutting through his skin and slowly killing him. Eventually, the curse stopped, and Draco gasped for breath, coughing and wheezing on the ground.

"You..... little....." was all Draco could say before collapsing on the floor, unconscious.

He woke up in a hospital bed, with Lucius looking over him.

"Are you alright, Draco?" Lucius asked.

"Yes, I think so." Draco replied weakly. "Can I.... can I see my apple?"

Lucius sighed and disappeared from view. When he came back, he was holding Draco's gorgeous fiancée. Though his apple was getting more brown with every passing second, Draco gasped and grabbed the apple from his father, pressing his lips to it. He passionately kissed the apple. Lucius walked out, deciding to give them some privacy.

"I'm sorry I tried to kill Dumbledore." Draco apologized. "I just wanted to get revenge for what he did to you. But I know I was wrong, and I just hope you'll forgive me."

The apple was silent, as usual, but it's final decision was one Draco knew deep in his heart. He pressed his lips to the apple. As he kissed it, their love was so strong that the brown on the apple slowly faded away until it was back to its original green color. Even the bitten off piece came back.

And Draco and his apple lived happily ever after.
