someday, somehow → d.malfoy [discontinued]

during the summer before draco's fourth year at hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, a girl sat at his dining table with his parents.
.
↳ in which love bleeds its way into two people's hearts so slowly and steadily, they do not notice until they realise they no longer know life without it. and;
↳ in which a group finds family within one another.
.
already deep into the summer holidays between his third and fourth years at hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, the last thing draco malfoy was expecting was for a supposed family friend - indifferent artemis einar - to be welcomed in for the rest of said summer. but of course, the unexpected is exactly what the universe has given draco. artemis was nice enough, he decided, and her presence made the malfoy manor less lonely.

so, a friendship began between them - one that draco was glad continued as they navigated the late years of their teenage years together. only, draco would wish that his heart would stop interpreting their close friendship as something more.

slowburn?
