"It's time to blow out your candles Draco!" yelled 10 and a half-year old Angel Malfoy. The room was filled with the laughter of many children—all eager to see; the now 3 yr. old Draco blow out his candles.
Draco looked up at Angel, hi eyes shining only as a child's can. "Okay!!"
Angel looked at the kids around her and grinned. "Now on the count of three, we're gonna sing Happy Birthday. 1, 2, 3,..."
They all sang "Happy Birthday", once they were done Draco happily blew out his candles.
"YAY!" Angel shouted picking up a laughing Draco and spinning him around.
In the corner Narcissa stood staring sadly at them with big troubled eyes.

"So that's when Uric the Oddball went crazy and decided to try and kill Eric the Evil..." Professor Binns droned on and on in a toneless voice.
Draco yawned loudly as he stretched his arms out. He really wished Pansy would quit giving him dirty looks. He really didn't mean to explode like that, it's just he was frustrated and he took it out on her. He watched as Ron crumbled a piece of parchment into a ball and threw it at Professor Binns. He chuckled to himself as the paper flew through him and he didn't notice at all. Of course the whole class cracked up, you see Ron had become somewhat of a class-clown. Draco could still see Professor McGonnagall's annoyed face as she muttered, 'Just like those two, he's following in their footsteps... what a pity... so much potential...'. He grinned in spite of himself.
He kept thinking about Ginny and how they had connected the other night at the ball. He really couldn't believe he'd connected with a Weasley of all people. But it didn't really matter anymore to him, he'd thought about it and it was okay. Sure his father would probably try and kill him... but he didn't really fancy living anyway. Not that he ever had to begin with. Especially after what his father had done, after that he didn't care about living or life anymore. His thoughts were broken by a voice.
"Draco?" A male voice asked stupidly.
He turned around to see Crabbe and Goyle looking at him.
"What do you want stupid?" He asked dully.
"We, we were just wondering, uh, I—what were we wondering again?" Crabbe asked Goyle scratching his head.
"Uh, I forgot..." Goyle asked
"Let me spare you some stupidness, okay yeah I was talking to Ginny Weasley the other night; big freaken deal." Draco said in an alarmingly calm voice.
Crabbe and Goyle stared at Draco blankly. "Uh... uh...uh..." With that both of them walked off dumbstruck.
Draco shook his head, how he could hang out with such swots he never knew.
Professor Bins dismissed the class. Draco happily walked out of the room, his favorite class was coming up next: DADA. He'd always loved that class ever since his 3rd year. But he wouldn't let anybody know it because obviously he was a Slytherin and was supposed to like Dark Magic. But then again he always thought, he wasn't like most Slytherins, sure he was quick- tempered but he didn't wanna kill anybody. As he was walking through the corridor he spotted Ginny. He took a deep breath, then he approached her.
"Hey Ginny," He said coolly trying to work up a seemingly nice smile.
She turned around and looked surprised but managed a smile back. "Um, hi Draco... you're looking handsome today. How have you been?" She asked trying to start a conversation, well aware that everybody was staring at them.
"I, uh, well I've had an okay day, you?" He asked, a light blush coming to his pale face.
Ginny grinned, she thought Draco was being totally adorable blushing like that. She'd never seen him blush before. "Well... you know how potions goes, it's never too great. Snape blew up my cauldron." Ginny giggled.
Draco found himself staring at her in fascination. The way she laughed it was so charming that he found him self just wanting to kiss her right then and there. Like he'd always learned to do though, he controlled his urges. "C'mon let's walk." He told her urging her forward.
She looked at him shyly. "Sure..."
As they walked down the hall just talking about their days and all the funny stuff that had happened they begin to notice less and less the horrified looks they were being shot from their fellow students. But, none were as shocked as Harry and Ron.
"What are you lookin at?" Ginny shot at Harry coldly as she and Draco traipsed down the hallway. Harry looked at Draco evilly, with a look on his face that said, "What the hell?"
Draco just grinned obnoxiously and shrugged his shoulders. "So many prats.... So little time," He said grinning at Ginny.
She laughed and threw her hair behind her shoulders. They continued walking down the corridor until it was time for their next class, and for a minute, just a minute for the first time in a while Draco was truly happy. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
