A drabble. Wow.
I was wondering if I should make it so that this could fit both ways, as in it could be seen in each character's point of view, but this was originally thought of in Draco's POV, and so it shall stay.
Sometimes he wonders.
He wonders what it would have been like, if they had been friends from the start. And so he imagines, just little snippets of the life he could have had, every time he allows his mind to wander.
Would they have been best friends? He had heard whispers and rumours that the Hat had wanted him in Slytherin. Would he have been in the same house, then? Would he be the one going with him on those adventures? Would he have even had a chance, just a chance to fulfill this unrequited love?
He wonders, and wonders, until they meet again at the very same station where they first met all those years ago, this time with his beautiful Weasley wife and three beautiful children, all named after the important people in his life...
...and he stops wondering.
