Draco's 1# boy enemy
If anyone asked who was Draco's first HUMAN enemy, Draco's first reaction would be to clamp up and refused to talk about it, and after an hour, he will get back to you... screaming 'Harry Potter' and looked smug like he had successfully avoided your question. But you knew, he was lying and it was written all over his face and no one dares questioned him in case something drastic ever happens. No one wants a very strange and deranged Draco Malfoy.
His friends found it weird and even the Gryffindors seemed appalled that he had never considered mentioning his first human enemy, truthfully. Everyone believed he would whole heartedly claim Harry to be his first and foremost deadly competitive enemy the moment the question slipped their lips.
Draco didn't want anyone to know, and no one will know because he knew his enemy would never recognize him... the only other person aware of this dangerous enemy was Luna Lovegood. Draco would die than to let her say it out loud, and she never did. That enemy was weak and pathetic, no way he was going to tell the whole wide world the name of his first and forever enemy, Neville Longbottom.
How did Neville Longbottom gain this privilege? To be considered as Draco's most deadly enemy of all time, equivalent to Harry Potter? That confuddled (confused and befuddled) fool of a boy? Draco had many reason as to why he hated Neville Longbottom. He would gladly list them:
10. He looks stupid.
9. He was a pureblood like Malfoy himself.
8. He was forgetful
7. He was on Harry Potter's side
6. He was getting stronger in spell casting and nearly knocked Malfoy over when they collided.
5. He was a sissy.
4. He was the deciding mark who caused the Slytherins to lose their house championships in their first year.
3. He was plump.
2. He was a Griffindor
1. He was friends with Luna Lovegood.
Everyone would roll eyes on this, what kind of an enemy sounded so pathetic as this? What kind of enemy lets Draco win every time? Draco must have hated losing to Harry and decided to lower his standard? No... It was different. Here is the original list, the list he wrote when he was 13 years old. The one list that explains how truly worthy Neville was to be the great Draco Malfoy's enemy.
- Written in Draco's way-
10 reasons why I hate Neville Longbottom,
10. He spends a lot of time with Luna, ALMOST as much as me. Never as much as me because Luna spends ALL of her free time with me.
9. He stumbles and says silly stuff with that stupid looking grin on his face, as if the world should be laughing with him, and Luna does exactly that. But no matter what it was, it always sounded stupid and hopeless to me.
8. He was the reason why Luna yelled at me when I transformed him into a toad, apparently she was having a hard time believing that it was a) a mistake and b) he volunteered.
7. Luna would always side Neville when he cries, and that is like every time I decide to make fun of him.
6. He is the only MALE who touches Luna without MY approval, and he did it last week when he took a leaf out of her hair. I jinxed him for it, and because of that Luna wouldn't talk to me for a week because of that.
5. Luna and Neville shared diaries and never let me read it. I burnt the diary, and I confuddled Neville to think he lost it. She never spoke to him for 2 days because of that.
4. He gets to freely attend Luna's birthday party but I can't, I only see her either the day before or the day after her birthday. I made sure Neville paid the price, and he couldn't say a single word during the duration of her birthday party.
3. He danced with Luna during her 9th birthday. (I haven't got my payback yet.)
2. He can openly communicate with her in Hogwarts, while I have to send her notes to let her know which dark corner we can actually meet in. Last time it was in a dark broom cupboard, but I am NOT complaining.
1. He knows her just as long as I do, but I bet he couldn't even tell from the front of her face and her back.
This would seem rather strange, it would be strange as to why Nevile could not remember such a past, nor did he remembered he had childhood friends like Draco and Luna. Draco does not consider him a friend but Draco existed in Neville's life since Neville was very young, but it all had to happen... Luna made the biggest decision in her life. She either keep Neville's memory and jeopardized the Malfoy family or she could obliviate Neville's childhood memories.
One day, the great Draco Malfoy was caught off guard when one day Pansy Parkinson commented
"How could someone as forgetful as Neville walk the face of the earth?"
Draco will smirk as he leaned back against the chair and said with as much glee as the day he managed to nearly kick Hagrid out of teaching and making Harry as angry as well... very angry. He answers with ease, forgetting he was not meant to say so, but who would really know?
"Because she chose me over him."
...and that was that. Luna was not very good in erasing memories, she accidentally caused him to suffer from memory loss from time to time. Aka, forgetfulness. Draco on the other hand, no matter how clueless Neville was, Draco's memory was as tough as an elephant, and he became Draco's bully toy... he was the easiest target to bully, but that wasn't the whole reason why he bullied Neville in his first year and the years after that. The other reason was the chances to unleash all of his revenge's that he counted since he was a kid until teenage. Luna hasn't arrived which gave him a free reign to endlessly torture the poor confuddled boy and it became something he did for a long time.
