Prologue
October 24th, 1978 10:45 p.m.
At exactly 10:06 p.m., on October 24th, 1978, a baby girl was born at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
Thirty-nine minutes later she lay in her mother's arms awaiting her father, who had just stepped out to get the family's closest friends from the waiting room. Minutes later the door opened and in stepped two men and a woman with a sleeping toddler in her arms.
When the woman saw her best friend holding the tiny pink bundle she gasp, " Oh my, she is the prettiest baby I have ever laid eyes on!"
The woman and her husband stood on one side of the mother's bed across from the father. The father cleared his head and said, " Your son and my daughter will be an extremely well known couple."
The man across the bed looked from the newborn girl to this sleeping two year old son and nodded. " I brought the quill, like we agreed." He pulled a quill shaped piece of parchment out of his jacket pocket and both men gathered around the side table. As they signed the appropriate lines they failed to notice their wives skeptical looks as they sat with their children in their arms watching their husbands' sign their kids away.
As the years passed the girl and boy became the best friends. They would visit each other daily, and play quidditch on their play broomsticks – acting like their favorite professional quidditch players, burning leaves with a magnifying glass, climbing too tall of trees, riding their bikes too fast, having water fights in the backyard, making messes throughout the house, stealing cookies before supper, and skinning their knees when they fell down on the concrete.
They would spend holidays together, and cause mayhem. Then they boy got his Hogwarts letter.
And the truth was, nothing was ever the same after the boy disappeared from the girls sight that day on Platform 9 ¾. Sure, they wrote each other and saw one another when he came home during Christmas and Easter holidays. But eventually, the letters got shorter, until they stopped coming all together. And when the boy came home on the holidays he was too busy playing with his new friends to spend time with the girl. There was no more waking up the neighborhood with their giggling, now the only time the neighbors got woke up was when the two would shout at each other on the way out the door.
And as easily and quickly as the girl and boy has become best friends, their friendship crumbled. When the families would visit the others house the boy and girl would dread going. When the girl started Hogwarts shouting matches were displayed in the corridors between the two, and often hexes would fly. The two would be caught glaring and pranking each other,. When they passes each other in the hall insults would be exchanged. They came to hate each other...
