When we met….

The Orphanage


"My homie since knee high
We came up on the south side"

The south side, the orphanage; It was all she could think about, since she saw him again looking at the place. They didn't really like each other now, but the memories still haunted them both. They were so little, and the bestest of friends. Oh how she missed that wonderful friendship; her first love. He missed it too, and wanted her to come back.


They were both 5 when they were left there. Draco, left by Lanneius Lifting, and Hermione, left by Shanaya Lennes. The 2 children weren't really cousins; their parents were just really close friends. The silvery-blond haired boy was a couple of months older than the brown curly haired girl.

"We are so sorry, sweeties, but ever since your fathers were killed, we haven't had enough money or strength to take care of you." whispered Shanaya with a choke in her throat. She didn't want the toddlers to see her crying.

"You 2 will be alright here. You will get food and meet other kids to play with. Now go children, you must go inside the room." Lanneius said, tears streaming down her face.

The 2 toddlers ran in the room, amazed by the sight of all the children, and toys from them. It was an all witch/wizard orphanage located on the south side of Hogsmeade. It was pretty rich; it had enough money to provide a healthy meal 3 times a day, give proper hygiene materials, and filled with wonderful toys and a playground in the back. It was no more different than a daycare, and it was also very expensive to leave your child there. Funny how, the 2 ladies could afford to leave them there but not take care of them. The 2 children decided to stick together; always standing up for each other, always by each other's side.

"Where you had to beat the street lights home
we got into some street fights
but the next day we be right back get it all
Wherever there was me, there was you
And we were like crew
Straight to junior high school"


When they were a little older, around 12, they both realized they liked each other. It wasn't their fault; they did spend a lot of their time together. And everyone thought they made the cutest couples.

"Draco is so sweet to me; he is always there for me, always protecting me. He is like a prince to my Cinderella." Hermione said to her best girlfriend Nelleyah, with a dreamy look on her face.

"It is obvious that he likes you to, the whole orphanage is waiting for him to make a move," replied Nelleyah.

In another corner of the room, Draco is whispering to one of his closest guy friends. "Do you think Hermione likes me?"

"Of course, she does Draco, go and kiss her." Shayne replied.

"Now?"

"No, next year, you idiot. Of course now."

"Are you sure I should?"

"Yes, now go" and with those final words, Shayne gave Draco a little push toward his undecided love. He ran to Hermione, gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and then ran away, leaving a blushing Hermione ecstatic.

"Then you messed it all up
Started pushing up
Kissed me on the cheek
and I fell in love"


The next day, Draco was adopted. Lucious and Narcissa Malfoy had always wanted a son, but never could have one of their own. So they decided to adopt Draco, surprised at how closely he resembled them.

"Draco Senera Malfoy. The name sounds wonderful" whispered Narcissa.

Draco gave Hermione, one last kiss on the cheek, and then turned away, not wanting her to see the tears streaming down his face. Hermione was also crying; she would always love him. A week later, she was adopted too. It was surprising that a couple of muggles wanted to adopt a witch, but there niece was half-blood, and since then they have been fascinated by witchery. They wanted a little witch of there own, so John and Jane adopted Hermione.

"Hermione Senera Granger, what a beautiful name, for a beautiful little girl," said the child's new mom.

They were giving the same middle name, to remind them of a past they shared.


Ooooh when the, the boy next door (Next door)
Don't want to be my homeboy no more
Saw something that he never saw before
I think he wants to be my baby, baby
Been thinking 'bout him all my life (My life)
Now I see him in a whole new light
Something about it feels so right (That's why)
I think he wants to be my baby, baby

A/N- heyy, so ya I was really bored, just chilling, listening to some music and reading Dramione fics [OMG THEY ARE THE MOST AMAZING COUPLE EVER, the only couple better is me and chris brown ;) So ya and I was listening to this song, Homeboy by JoJo, and I was like Ima write a Dramione fanfic based on the song. It was gonna be a oneshot but ya its kind of long, esp. since I'm trying to incorporate the whole song into the story. The chorus of the song will always be right there above the authors note and disclaimer in every chapter. Yes I will continue my other fic also. Please tell me what you guys think of this one, please. I promise to read and review at least one of your stories too! Also, the middle name was giving to both of them by their original parents, in case some of you were confused about that.
