Weeks later, as he looked back on that day, Draco would realize that he had
actually enjoyed it immensely. Abby was almost the perfect all-American
girl he had heard of. She was not only beautiful, but smart and witty, and
she had a killer sense of adventure. They had gone to the beach and (when
Jacob was distracted) run away from him and hid in some cave that they'd
apparently explored days before. Through out the whole day Draco had
repeated his Slytherin mantra: I am a Slytherin; I hate Muggles. I will
break this girl's heart. As the day went on, though, he realized that he
was believing it less and less so he had to repeat it more and more. By the
end of the day (after they'd ditched Jacob again), Draco had thoroughly
convinced himself that he was an actor, and in order to be the best actor
he could be, he needed to get in character with Michael, so therefore, he
had an excuse to enjoy himself. Paradoxically, he and Abby had just spent
the most wonderful day of his life together, but he still believed to the
core that he was still going to dump this girl and break her heart. At the
end of the day, after watching the sun set, he and Abby had shared the most
glorious kiss ever. Draco believed that he was in love.
Draco adamantly denied that he felt even a flicker of emotion the next day. He grumpily did all of his chores (the right way this time), mad that he could even think that he was in love. He decided that he was going to devote the day to sulking and brainstorming of how to get out of this situation. Ultimately, he gave himself headache and resigned to solely sulking.
That was until Abby showed up. She took him to a Muggle thing- a movie he had never heard of, Titanic - which was actually pretty interesting, but apparently you were supposed to be quiet in them and he ended up getting them kicked out. He sulked for a while because he had been interested in whether the boat had actually sunk and whether Rose and Jack lived (though he would never admit it to another soul.ever). And at the end of the day, Draco hadn't even tried to look for an owl and once again, shared a soul- defying kiss with Abby. Life couldn't get much better than that.
Two weeks passed and Draco, completely going against all of his morals, had fallen completely in love with Abby. She was everything that he had never had when he was Draco Malfoy. He had completely abandoned looking for owls or even trying to contact the Ministry. Quite frankly, the dreams that he had been having of him returning to the wizarding world that had once been a blessed release, were now quickly becoming nightmares and he found that he would wake up in a sweat when ever he'd have that dream. He, Jacob and Abby had become the equivalent of Potter, Weasley and Granger back at Hogwarts and Draco truly learned what it felt like to be liked and wanted. The three would always meet at someone's house and spend the long summer days lounging around a pool or the beach (they never returned to the movies though). Life was perfect and Draco soon forgot all about the pressures of his old life and decided that the real Michael must have decided that he liked Draco's life, otherwise some one would have fixed them.
Only one thing bothered Draco. No matter how hard he ever tried, he realized that he could never completely take Michael's place and that his past life would always linger in his memory, no matter how hard he tried to push it out. And he also realized that one of these days, he was going to actually have to admit the truth. And who better to start with than Abby?
**A/N: ok, I know that chapter was really fast and realistically, you could never fall in love in a day, but this is fiction, so please don't flame me! Thanks for reading and I promise- I'm almost done, only one more chapter! Thanks and please review!
