It's been a hard life (A Draco Malfoy love story)

Chapter 1: Introduction

Hello! This is my first time ever writing and posting a story. I hope my first one was good. I just wanted to say that my story might be a little off from some Harry Potter details so correct me if I describe someone's appearance wrong I hope you all like it and sorry if I put a little to much details. Comment on what I could do to make the story better. I would also like to say I won't be putting in any cast members for my stories only because I want you all to kinda visualized your own character for Opal whether or not she has dark hair and eyes and tanned skin like I wrote her to have. Thanks so much and I will try to post at least one or two chapters a week. Again thanks and I hope you enjoy my story.

My name is Opal Heart. My last name is pretty odd, well then again my first name doesn't sound all that normal either, but I like having unique name. I was named after my birthstone, an Opal. My birthday is on October 18. Oh how I love October. It's a month full of colorful leaves and cool weather and not to mention 'Halloween' My adoptive mum and dad used to take me to America on Halloween. We would go because my adoptive sister, Lola, liked to receive candy from strangers. How dangerous is that! I mean you never know what those people put in the candy. Nonetheless I loved All Hallows' Eve, as I called it. I loved dressing up and just fitting in for once in my life and not feel like an outcast even just for one night. I don't know how but recently I've been doing a lot of weird things. Last week I dropped a flower pot , from the second floor, out of the window and onto Lola's head! That doesn't sound that weird, crazy but not weird. The weird part was that I was standing behind Lola out in the front porch! I know I'm the one that did it because I was looking at the pot and thinking about how wonderful it would be if it fell on her. She had just yelled at me for being a 'complete idiot' as she said and I could not help but think about something bad happening to her.

I was just as scared as she was, and thank god she was knocked out and didn't remember anything. That would have been bad. My adoptive parents seem to hate me anyways I don't know why they adopted me in the first place, the only one who seems to actually care about me is my granny. She has always been kind to me so I knew I could trust her with my secret.

It was Sunday morning and it was Lola's birthday. Mum and dad decided to take her out without bothering to wake me. I didn't mind because granny always came on Sunday's. When I heard the doorbell ring I ran to it. My hand shaking from being so nervous about telling her but I managed to open the door without seeming to worried.

"Good morning, deary." Granny sang in her usual happy voice.

My granny was a perky looking woman, with bright emerald green eyes and gray hair. Her hair had strands of light brown. She had the same color eyes as Lola and my mum. Except for the fact that granny's were bright and full of life, while Lola's and mum's were a dull dead grass green. My dads eyes were blue with a hint of green, Again they were dull and lifeless. Anyone could tell I was adopted due to the fact that my eyes were dark brown, nearly black, and my hair was the same color as my eyes, dark dark brown. Anyone could think that my eyes and hair were black but it's brown and you can tell it is in the sunlight. My skin was also a tad bit tanner that theirs, but my granny seemed to treat me like her own blood.

"Good morning, granny." I said as she pulled me into a a nice hug and kissed my cheek.

"Your mother told me she was taking Lola out and I knew you would be stuck here for hours all by yourself. So I'm here to keep you company." She put her bag beside the sofa and went to the kitchen to make some tea.

"Granny..." I started as I slowly took a seat at the kitchen table.

"Yes honey, what's the matter?" She looked up to me while she was preparing the tea.
