Chapter 25: Draco's thoughts on Katherine and Love
Draco had just left Katherine when he started thinking "man she was beautiful I wish I knew if she liked me or something. Wait a minute Draco stop that man you know what your mom told you about girls."
Flashback:
"Mom (Narcissa Malfoy) I think that I am in love with this new girl in Hogwarts what do you think I should do about it?" Draco said as he was walking around the grounds with his mother on one of her visits to see him.
Narcissa smiled and said "that is great sweetie how long have you known this girl or talked to her about her life?"
Draco sighed and said "I haven't done any of that she is just so pretty and I know that I love her so much and that if I can win her she will love me without a doubt."
Narcissa listened and said "so you don't know anything about this girl. What is her family like? She is loyal to that bastard Voldemort? Is she in love with somebody (after all some families do arrange marriages)? What was her childhood? Or anything along those lines about her life before coming to Hogwarts."
Draco nodded and said "yeah mom that is not a problem."
Narcissa said "honey I am sorry to say this but then you are not in love with her. Love is a progression of truly knowing somebody it takes time before you will truly be in love with somebody before you can safely say that you are in love with that person, and if you know nothing about the person then you are only infatuated with her and not truly in love with her. Do you understand?"
Draco sighed and nodded and said "yes mom you are probably right but God she is so hot."
Narcissa said "well Draco you thought: Hermione Granger, Susan Bones, Pansy Parkinson, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, Lavender Brown, Parvati and Padma Patil and that is all in just 2 years Draco. Draco I think you should wait I promise that someday you are going to find the true love of your life and when you do you will know that you love her."
Draco merely nodded and they walked in silence for the rest of his mother's visit.
End Flashback:
Draco smiled at the memory and said "I am going to wait I am in no rush to find love this time and my mother was right I did not truly love any of those girls and I just met Katherine and am going to try and just have a friendship with her it will be a first for me as I don't have female friends other than my sister."
Draco continued his walk to his home thinking of his friendship with the new girl.
