SEVEN BLACK ROSES

On a cold rainy night, at exactly 7:00 PM, Draco Malfoy looked out of his bedroom window at the starless, dark blue sky. In his hand, he held a book, a photo album more like.There were 7 pictures on each page. Dracos thumb was placed a picture of he, his father, and his mother, sitting outside in a lovely garden. On the other side of it however, was a picture of a blonde girl who looked just about the age of 7.

This girl Draco used to know as the center of an old crush he had when he was about 7. This was before his father was harsh and prejudiced, before his mother was snobby and rude, before they lived in the Malfoy Manor, and believe it or not, there was a time before that. And that is exactly where our story begins. So let me take you back, 7 years ago...

It was barely 7:00 AM when a young Draco Malfoy awoke from his sleep. Outside it looked to be a sunny Sunday. Bright light peeked through his window and brightned the small room he called his bedroom. In his bedroom, he didn't have much, a small closet filled with robes, 7 used dungbombs stacked on top of a large white desk. And of course his old bed which he felt he was getting far too big for. Outside his wooden door, he could hear his mother walking around, probably sweeping the dusty floors again, muttering to herself about all the gnomes in her dying garden.("7 new ones today! 7!")

Draco sighed and pulled the covers off him. He dressed himself slowly and finally waltzed out the door, quickly informing his mom that he would be out with his friends today. Then he rushed out the old screen door without eating breakfast.

After 7 minutes of waiting outside, his best friend, Shawn Hunter, greeted him a good morning. Shawn was handsome for a kid, he was 7 months older than Draco, and usually the brains of the pair.

"So whats up?" Shawn asked after noticing an akward scilence coming on, "You know theres a new girl in town, shes a witch too, and shes really pretty. You should meet her."

Draco sighed,"Are you trying to hook me up on a date or something? Look, I told you theres no way my mom would let me----"

"Hey Shawn, whos your friend?" A squeaky voice inturrupted. Draco turned around and saw the prettiest thing hes ever seen in the neighborhood. A small girl with long cornflower hair and sapphire blue eyes. She was dressed in a white dress with pink lace and matching hat on top of her golden hair, that was lined with 7 white roses.

"Oh um...Angela this is Draco, but we call him Drake. Drake, this is Angela, the new girl I told you about."

"Nice to meet ya!" Angela grinned, extending a hand.

"Y-you too." Draco blushed grabbing her hand rather hard. Angela stared. Shawn held in a snicker.

"Why dont cha come hang out with us Angela?" Shawn offered.

"I'd love to."

So the day went by and Shawn, Draco, and Angela hung out for 7 whole hours. And when the sunset, Shawn decided to take off for his guitar lessons, leaving Draco to walk Angela home. ^^Me left alone with a pretty girl? This is not a good thing..^^ Draco thought nervously.

"So.." Draco started, trying to start conversation. "What are your parents like?"

"Oh..well I guess you'll find out anyway." Angela blushed, "My parents are muggles."

"Nothin wrong with that." Draco said immedeatley.

"Really you think so?"

"Really."

Finally, they reached a large two story home with the biggest, liveliest garden Draco had ever seen.

"Well this is my stop." Angela said shyly, "Thanks for walking me, I had alot of fun today. Nice to know I have some friends around here."

"No prob."

Then, it came out of nowhere. Angela kissed Draco on the cheek. While Draco stood in shock, Angela ran into her house and closed the front door quietly and in 7 seconds, the porch light went out.

After that, Draco, Shawn, and Angela hung out almost everyday. Things were a tad akward between Draco and Angela, but they kept their cool. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and finally after alot of crushing and dreaming Draco and Angela shared another kiss. And another, and another. It was unbelievable how they both felt for one another. It was true love at last. Unfortunatly, after 7 full months....

"What do you mean we're moving?!?" Draco gaped at his father.

"Why dont you seem happy?? Were not only moving, were moving with lots of money! We can even buy a manor with all the money we got!"

It had happened. Lucius had won a great deal of money off a Ministry contest and Dracos mother had demanded a better home. January 7th they would be moving to a large home somewhere close to what would be Dracos future school, Hogwarts. But Christmas would still be spent in the old neighborhood and would give Draco enough time to say goodbye to his friends...and Angela.

At the Christmas Party.....

"You can't move, you just cant!" Shawn yelled in disbelief.

"I got no choice. Sorry guys." Draco sighed.

"Write to me everyday ok?" Angela said, teary eyed.

"I will. I promise." Draco smiled.

Well, its been 7 long years and Draco got only one letter from his old friends, and it wasn't from Angela, but Shawn. He got it a week after he moved:

Hey buddy,

Its me Shawn. I have some really bad news man. I didnt wanna tell you, but mom says you have a right to know. Angelas sort of....dead. It was a car accident with her parents. Im really sorry. Hope you dont take it too bad, but write me back when you feel up to it ok?

Shawn

Yep. Thats what happened 7 years ago. Draco never did write Shawn back...^^Psh, god knows if he even lives there anymore. Oh well, its no use dwelling on the past when we have a future to worry on. Why would I be intrested in a stupid little mudblood anyway?^^

Though it is true that he denied he was ever in love with her, a part of her still lingered in his mind, and his heart. Unfortunatly the painful incident caused Draco to assure himself he would never fall in love again, that he would try as hard as he can to erase Angelas memory from his mind. Now his 4th year Hogwarts begins within no less than 7 days, in no less than 7 days he would have assured himself that he is now a young man who is moving on with his life, but in know less than 7 days, his will take a dramatic and unexpected turn.
