It was the summer before Draco's first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and he was elated and sad at the same time. He was elated because he finally gets to go to Hogwarts and he was sad because he had to leave his best friend for a year. His best friend was no other than Miss Ginevra Weasley. Yes, a Weasley. Every summer since he was five years old was spent at the Burrow. Now, you may be wondering how Draco and Ginny became best friends. Well it all began one day back in the summer of 1985 at the Ministry of Magic.
(Flashback)
It was take your child to work day and Mr. Arthur Weasley had a meeting with Mr. Lucius Malfoy. He sat Ginny in a bench right next to the office of Mr. Malfoy. A little boy with platinum blond hair exits the office of Mr. Malfoy and that little boy was no other than Draco Malfoy the Malfoy's only child. Draco sat right next to Ginny and the two began talking and soon became friends. When Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley exited the office an hour later they were very surprised to find the two children talking very happily. They soon decided to let the children continue being friends. So as the years passed the two kids became closer and closer.
(End of Flashback)
Draco was in his room packing while listening to Ginny rant about how it was no far that she couldn't go to Hogwarts with him.
"Draco it just isn't fair. I have to go almost a year without seeing you I can barely make it through a week without seeing you", Ginny whined while throwing him a shirt and a pair of socks.
"Ginevra you will be okay I will owl you every day and I'll see you at Christmas", Draco said reassuringly.
"I'm going to go mad without you here. My mum is going go all crazy because I'm the only child still home. Everyday I'm going to have to deal with her bugging me making sure I had enough to eat. I'm going to be in by the time you come back", she said.
"You are not going to go mad you'll be fine", he said hugging Ginny tightly.
"I'm going to miss you so much", she said while hugging Draco back.
"I'm going to miss you too, Red", he said.
At the age of eleven Draco knew that he was totally and completely in love with his best friend.
