This is deadicated to my friend who is awesome, btw! 

Draco Malfoy POV

Today's the day. The day my fate will change. 

But before that can happen, I need to talk to my schoolboy enemy, Harry Potter. 

Arriving at the Burrow, Molly Weasley answers the door, smiling at the sight of me. 

"Ria just left to take James to George's shop," the Weasley matriarch says. 

"Actually, do you know where Harry is?" I ask as politely as I can. 

"Harry and Ginny went to Grimmauld Place to clear the place out. They gave the place to Ria," Molly says, a knowing gleam in her eyes. 

"Thanks," I say. Apparating to the Black family home, I find Ginny Weasley struggling with a box. I take the box out of her hands. 

"Malfoy, what are you doing here?" Ginny asks, heaving big breaths. 

"Hello, Weasley, I was wondering where your husband is?" I ask. 

"He's in Sirius's room, on the second floor," Ginny says suspiciously. 

"Thanks," I say, making my way upstairs. "Potter, I have something to ask you." 

Harry Potter POV

I search Sirius's room again. 

I find a picture. It's of my Aunt and Sirius.

I flip it around and look at the note. 

Dear Sirius,

I wanted you to be the first to hear. 

Our relationship I will forever cherish, but we were never meant to be together. It's true, I've moved on. 

There is two things I will tell you, but nothing more, and I ask for you to tell nobody but the Marauders. 

One, this boy is a Slytherin. 

Two, he doesn't like you, nor do you him. 

If you know who this is, I ask you to keep it to yourself. Though it is unlikely, since you and our friends hate every Slytherin, bar me. 

Please understand, you were never meant for me. Know I still will forever be your best friend. And trust me, if he breaks my heart, you and Jamie will know. 

May the Feather that Burns with the Flame forever light your path,

Celeste

"Potter, I have something to ask you," someone says. 

I spin around and find myself face to face with my old nemesis, Draco Malfoy. 

"You're moving out?" Draco asks. 

"There are too many demons in this place, and it's not a place for children to grow up," I reply. 

"This was the House of Black, wasn't it?" Draco asks curiously, looking around the bare room. 

"Yup," I say. 

"Listen, I have something to ask you, and you probably won't like it," Draco says. 

"You want to marry my sister?" I guess. 

Draco looks at me in shock. "Um... h-how did you kn-know?" 

"Even a blind man could tell the love between you and Ria," I say, snorting.
