The Way I Loved You: A Draco Malfoy Love Story

I stared at the picture, a small smile on my face. A boy and girl were racing each other on their toy broomsticks, both aiming to capture the snitch that was lazily fluttering around in the air. The boy had platinum blonde hair, and a handsome face that used to smile for everything the girl said. The girl had dark brown hair which fell to her shoulders in a wavy fashion, and an innocent face that used to hang onto every single word the boy said. They had promised each other that they would be best friends...forever.

Too bad the boy changed. The picture perfect scene started to shatter in front of my very eyes. As he got older, the boy's smiles became smirks. His beautiful gray eyes turned cold and piercing. And his personality? It started to slowly turn bad, rotting from the inside of him.

The girl stayed with him no matter how much he changed, taking each blow that he inflicted on her, doing everything that she could to preserve their friendship. Why? Because she realized that she was starting to fall for him--not the person that he had become, but the person he was back then.

But how long can a heart endure until the pressure becomes too much?

I started to tear the picture, my eyes filling up with tears as the fresh pain of heartbreak started to appear again in my chest. The boy wasn't just any other boy, and the girl wasn't just any other girl.

He was Draco Lucius Malfoy and she was Alia Emily Morgan, friends who had forgotten each other long ago...best friends who were supposed to be there for each other...forever.

Loving the enemy is hard. Loving your best friend is even harder. Loving the enemy who was once your best friend is the hardest.
