A little girl was playing outside on a windy afternoon. She had fair skin, beautiful brown eyes, pinkish lips and a soft wavy hair in cute pigtails. She looked adorable in her pink jumper and leather mary-janes.
The girl hummed to herself while picking some wild flowers. The grass was up to her chest but she didn't mind. She loved the feeling of the wild grass tickling her skin as the wind blew. She giggled when some grass rubbed against her nose. "acccccchhhhoooo", she sneezed, her eyes all red an glassy. She sighed and laid on the ground as she watched the sky up above. She was on vacation with her family.
"Look Ella, that one looks like a fluffy rabbit...", she said as she talked to her doll.
"Fluffy rabbit? No it doesn't. It looks like an otter", someone very near her sniffed.
The girl stiffened and abruptly sat. She looked around wondering where the voice came from. She whipped behind her and her eyes grew huge with surprise. A little boy was lying on his back near her head. "Hello..." the girl squeaked. She has never seen a boy like him. He was a strange but handsome little creature with hair as white as snow. The boy didn't reply but sniffed instead.
"Are you OK?", the girl squatted facing the boy.
"yes", the boy said trying to make a courageous face.
"No you're not", the girl stated the obvious. "Your eyes are all fluffy and red" she smiled.
"I'm fine", the boy snapped and stood up. "What are you doing here? This is my dad's land."
" I kind of wandered around and sort of got lost." the little girl bit her lip.
"you should leave"
"Why are you such a grouch?" the girl also hopped up and frowned.
"Do you always ask too many questions?", he smirked.
The girl laughed "You sound like my mum" her smile wavered when the boy frowned some more "What's wrong?"
"My parents were fighting again... They always fight." he sniffed.
"Is that why you're hiding?" she sat down, making herself more comfortable.
"I'm not hiding. Malfoys never hide", he said as he raised his chin up and puffed his little chest out.
"What's a Mal..Mal..." the little girl struggled with the new word.
"Malfoy", he said his name proudly. "Draco Malfoy"
"Draco" she said as if she's testing his how his name sounds. "I like it" The boy smirked.
"What's your name?"
"Hermione Granger"
"Hermione", he repeated. "I don't like it" he said as blunt as a little kid can be.
"Too bad I. I happen to like it" girl stuck out her tongue in defiance. "It was my grandmother's"
" It's too muggle..."
"Muggle? What's that?"
"Non magic folk... at least that's what my daddy says" he frowned. Never talk to muggles. They are inferior and dirty he suddenly remembered what his father had said. He sat down and observed the little girl before him. "That's strange... You don't seem dirty" he said as he turned her hand over, looking at it closely. Then he held Hermione's face and looked at it.
"Why should I be?" she asked. "and there is no such thing as magic", she added.
"is too" Draco frowned. He was not used to someone contradicting him other than his father.
"is not"
"is too"
"prove it" Hermione ordered crossing her hands in front of her chest.
Draco frowned and looked at her. "I can't. I have no wand."
"You're strange. You know that?" she laughed.
"Strange? You want strange? Fine I'll prove it" he said angrily. "DOBBY!" Draco shouted at the top of his lungs. "DOBBY I ORDER YOU TO COME HERE! NOW!"
CRACK
Hermione jumped straight into the little boys arms. "What was that?" she ask her voice trembled and her eyes widened with fear.
"Master is calling Dobby?", a little green creature appeared in front of Hermione's eyes. She was too scared to speak she buried her head in to Draco's chest. Upon seeing his little master Dobby, the elf, eyes' widened. " Little master is got his robes all dirty and grassy. Big master is going to kill Dobby. He is.. he is", the little green creature frantically searched for something to bang his head with. When he found nothing he bumped his head on the dirty ground and started punishing himself.
Hermione's eyes widened at the creature's sudden outburst and knelt down as he cradled the creature's head which defiantly squirmed out of her grasp and wailed as he kept on banging his head to the muddy ground.
"Stop him!" Hermione panicked and shouted.
Draco just looked at the girl too stunned to speak. He had never seen anybody be nice to a house elf before. His father always taught him that house elves were not to be pitied upon and deserved to be treated like the slaves they are.
"Draco please stop him... he's going to get hurt", Hermione clutched her small hands to Draco's little arms. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears.
"Dobby I order you to stop. My dad's not going to kill you", he said. But the little elf was too busy punishing himself to hear his little master's orders. "DOBBY I SAID STOP!" He bellowed. The elf looked at his master. His lips quivered and his little elf's body trembling.
"but little master..." Dobby sniffed. "You're father..."
"won't know." he said calmly. "I order you to snap your fingers and make me clean " Draco ordered as he looked at his robes then to Hermione.
"As little master wishes", the elf snapped his little fingers and just like magic all the dirt and dust disappeared from Draco's robes.
Hermione squealed and clapped her hands in excitement.
"Now who says there is no such thing as magic?" Draco mocked at the now impressed little girl.
"Can you do that?" the girl asked.
"Not yet... but someday" the little boy said.
"Can you teach me how?" Hermione asked looking at Draco with her best imitation of a pupppy dog's eyes. She mastered the look as her parent's couldn't say no when she gave them that look.
"Someday..." he smiled. "Dobby you can go now", he ordered a less meanly. POP! The elf vanished

"HERMIONE! HERMIONE!" bolted up as she heard her mother's frantic calls "uh-oh" she muttered. "Come" she said as she grabbed Draco's wrists and ran.
"Where are we going?" Draco said breathlessly as he tried to keep up with his new found friend.
"I want to introduce you to my mum", she said as they got out of the grassy field.
Draco dug his feet to the ground causing Hermione to abruptly stop. "What?" Hermione frowned.
"I don't think that's a good idea", he said.
"Well too late. Here she comes", she said as he gripped Draco's hands tightly.
"Dear where have you been? I have been looking all over for you?", Jane Granger swooped down and hugged her daughter tightly. "Oh hello?", Jane said as she looked down on the little boy who was holding her daughter's hand. Draco smiled shyly at the woman. "Dear aren't you going to introduce me to your new friend?" Jane inquired her lips tugging upward.
"Oh sorry. Mum this is Draco Mal... Mal..." she was having trouble saying his last name again.
"Malfoy", he said as he puffed his chest and bowed to the lady politely.
" I was about to say that", Hermione frowned. Draco smirked.
"Aren't you the cutest little thing", Jane said as he patted Draco's cheek affectionately. Draco's ears turned red as he was not used to affections like that especially from a woman. "Where do you live?"
"Malfoy Manor. ", Draco said proudly as he pointed at his house/
"You mean that sad old mansion?" Jane's face furrowed as she looked across the field. "It's not a good place for a kid to grow up", she said sympathetically.
"Little Master! Little Master!" someone squeaked from the fields. It was Dobby. " Your father is looking for little master. Little Master where are you?"
Draco eyes widened in panic. It was OK for a little girl to see a magical creature but a grown up was out of the question. "Stay where you are", he shouted. "I have to go" he said abruptly to Hermione and her mother. He ran to the fields.
"wait!" Hermione said breathlessly as she tried to catch up with him. "Stop!" she pleaded. "When can I see you again?" she asked when she reached Draco who slowed down. "Tomorrow same time" he said as he ran. Hermione smiled happy to have found a new friend.
"Come on dear..." Jane said as she scooped her daughter up and kissed her nose. "Time for tea"
"Can we invite Draco for tea tomorrow?" Hermione smiled at her mother with a pleading puppy dog eyes Jane just laughed and nodded her head.
