Oddly enough, it is a Chocolate Frog that starts it all.
Had it been any other pair of students, in any other situation, it wouldn't have meant a great deal. But with these two, in that moment, it meant everything.
One of the worst kept secrets of Hogwarts was that Draco Malfoy was a chocoholic. More than that, he was liable to go a bit insane if he went without chocolate for long intervals.
Which might have had something to do with the reason everyone was avoiding him today.
Draco Malfoy had run out of chocolate.
It wasn't a pleasant sight. In fact, it had already caused several of the younger students to flee from him in tears, while everyone who had any prior experience with him was staying as far away from him as possible.
"Draco Malfoy without chocolate" usually translated into "everyone else without happiness."
No one wanted to attempt approaching the beast, not even if they had gifts of chocolate to offer him.
No one, that is, apart from Harry Potter.
Harry Potter wasn't aware that by walking up to Draco Malfoy and offering him a Chocolate Frog, he was actually doing something most people had deemed impossible.
Though, to be fair, he wasn't thinking at all. In fact, had someone performed Legilimency on him at that precise moment, the only thought they would have been able to pick up would have been Draco looks so hot when he's angry.
So there you have it. That's how the most famous relationship in modern times began. It started with the simple gift of a Chocolate Frog – a gift which allowed Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter to become friends after years of enmity, and later on, lovers.
(That might also have something to do with Draco's prized Mirabella Plunkett Famous Wizards Card, but that doesn't really have anything to do with this story.
Really.)
