Chapter 2: The Story Begins

"I suppose you're probably wondering why I, Draco Lucius Malfoy, am holding hands with Harry James Potter. You want the real story, do you? Actually the real question is, do you have the time? I guess it all started about two years ago, back in the beginning of 7th year, before both of our lives changed forever. And the story begins..."

~*~*~

a/n: Ahhh I know it's short!! Sorry!! *hides* But I am just trying to link the next chapter to the 1st one because I completely changed my whole idea for this story. I edited chapter 1 and reposted it so it might be a good idea to reread it. I suffered major writer's block this past week and I couldn't decide what to do next, but then on our way to Detroit and back, it all came to me lol. Originally, my idea was just to write that first chapter and stop, but eh I actually liked it and everyone seemed to, too. The 1st chapter was written at about 11:00 at night in my bed because I was listening to "Love Bites" and all of a sudden I saw the whole hospital scene and heard Draco's thoughts and feelings so I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote the whole chapter. Alright now about Draco's middle name that I have chosen, ok now I know we haven't found out what Draco's real middle name is but personally I love Draco Lucius Malfoy so that's what I decided lol.

I got 11 reviews for the last chapter!! Ahhh thanks to all of you!! *huggles all of them!* Now for the thank-yous and I have a ton so here ya go:

Janet: short but sweet review and you will soon find out where it is going ;) thanks!!

Ms. Orlando Bloom: First of all, I must say, wonderful name :D lol...I love Orlando Bloom...VERY HOT!! Thanks for the review and yes sorry about all the grammar errors...it was really late at night and I was so eager to get it on the site that I didn't revise it until afterwards, which is why I reposted it and it's all fixed and better lol :D keep reading!!

Ice: thanks for the review and I will update!! :D keep reading!!

the counter: Alright this has to be the stupidest review I have ever received:

13/25 stories on this page are romances. That suggests that the Harry Potter Fanfiction Writers are horny weirdos with no life. Help fight this preduce!

Alright, first of all, did you even bother to read my story? Because if you did, you would have seen that I have absolutely NO sexual references or anything in it, at least in Chapter 1, so you had no right to just judge the story like that and besides it IS a romance because it's about love you idiot! And who cares if 13/25 stories are romances on the page?? Romance is very complex and usually is a great style of writing especially when using two juxtaposition characters like Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, so yeah. And it doesn't mean that they are horny weirdos with no life because it just means they have a passion for writing romance so fuck off!! Next time before you judge, maybe you should read and find out first!!

Lady S: Well I am pleased to tell you that yes, there will be more :D so smile and be happy~Harry/Draco will not end here!! Keep reading and thanks for the review!!

JadeDawn: lol your review made me laugh and you will for sure find out what happens!! :D I know how you feel because I know that when I find a story that I like and the writer doesn't continue, that I get pushy too ^_^ so it's fine don't worry lol thanks for the review and keep reading!!

THANKS TO ALL REVIEWERS!! *hugs each reviewer one more time tightly!!* More Love Bites coming soon!!!!!

Love, Pat
