I'm very proud of it and hope everyone here enjoys it. Thanks for reading my stuff!!
To Ginny Weasley their love was magical… Surprisingly, Draco was very sweet and attentive to her. He lavished her with expensive gifts and gave into her every whim. Although a Slytherin, he was also the perfect boyfriend. She was the envy of half the other schoolgirls. How they had ended up together was a mystery but their love was powerful and yes magical. Even Harry had come to accept the changes in his former nemesis.
To Draco Malfoy their love was just an illusion… A simple trick played on simple minds. He was the grand magician who held all the cards. It was true that snogging the beautiful redhead was enjoyable enough, but it was only a means to an end. She was the trick to be played on an unsuspecting audience, in order to get him closer to Harry Potter. The Dark Mark burned on his skin but it also made him feel darkly powerful.
To the Dark Lord their love was just a well concocted plan… He was the master puppeteer of this extravagant show. In the end he would have the greatest of all rewards. Draco Malfoy would be the one to finally bring him what he most desired. The morbid end to the famed Potter. Yes, Harry's sacrificial life would pave the way for the pureblood nobility. It would also bring about Draco's own rise to greatness. All because Draco had chosen to wield a most powerful weapon. The most dastardly and magical illusion of "love"…
