At a muggle daycare center a young platinum blond boy and a young brunette girl with bushy brown hair sat next to each other at the lunch table. It was both of there first day. Both were very shy and kept to themselves. The young boy was very lonely and had been to many of these daycares. He never stayed at one for more then a year. He was now eight. He had been attending daycare since the age of three. His parents were very busy and had no one else to watch him. The young girl had never attended a daycare before. Both of her parents worked as dentists and worked full-time. Her grandmother would usually watch her but over this past summer she became very sick, making her too weak to take care of her granddaughter. She didn't know the boy who was sitting next to her, but he also seemed new since like her wasn't talking to anyone. She looked at him and he looked at her, for a brief moment they're eyes met and both received an eerie chill. Then the young boy spoke.
"Are you going to eat your pudding?" the young boy asked while pointing to the pudding cup in the girls hand.
"Err... uhh .. Nno yyou can have iit," they young girl replied while stuttering. She was surprised by the sudden outburst of talking.
"I'm Draco, Draco Malfoy." The young boy replied. While opening the pudding cup.
"Hermione, Hermione Granger." the young girl replied while playing with her fingers. She found the boy sitting next to her. He was the only boy that had ever spoken to her.
"I'm eight. How old are you?" Draco replied while eating the pudding.
"I am eight also." Hermione replied in a very ladylike manor.
For the rest of that day Hermione and Draco talked. They talked about young childish things such as what they're favorite ice cream flavor was and why they thought the sky was blue. They became great friends very quickly. Throughout those next months they we're inseparable. They understood each other in ways that no one else could and were able to talk about nothing for hours at a time. Before they knew it, it was summer. Summer meant the end of daycare for them both. The day that they left each other was a sad one.
"I'm going to miss you Herm," young Draco said to Hermione as they were eating there last lunch together in the exact same spot as they had been when they met each other.
"I'm going to miss you too Draco," Hermione replied as she remember the past year spent with each other. They had had so much fun together. She didn't want to leave him.
"Here, I want you to have this." Draco said while taking out a necklace that had a dragon pendent on it. "Draco means Dragon." Draco explained as Hermione examined the necklace with a twinkle in her eyes.
"I have something for you also," Hermione said while she pulled out a small wrapped box. Draco opened up the box and inside was a bracelet that Hermione had made out of beads and string. Also in the box was a letter that contained Hermione's phone number and address. Of course since Draco lived in the wizarding world he wasn't sure what exactly what the numbers meant but he didn't want to ask.
"Thank you Hermione," Draco said as he gave Hermione a hug. He knew that he was going to miss her very much. She was the only person that he has ever known that would listen to what he had to say. She was the only person that truly understood him. He didn't want to leave her, he wished that she wasn't a muggle. His father had also said how bad muggles were. But he doesn't understand why they are so bad, he thought muggles were just fine.
Hermione and Draco spent the rest of the day talking. They both promised to never forget each other and that they were always going to be best friends. Then Hermione's parents came, Hermione then gave Draco a kiss on the cheek and left. Draco watched her walk away until he couldn't see her anymore. A single tear rolled down his check, he missed her already. He knew that there would be no way that they would ever see each other again since he lived in the wizarding world and she was a muggle. He hated it. Draco was so young and already being hit with the ethics he wished were never around.
