Draco Malfoy and Y/n L/n had been inseparable since they were toddlers — childhood best friends who grew up between the Malfoy Manor gardens, Hogwarts corridors, and summers filled with whispered secrets and shared books. Y/n, a shy, soft-spoken Hufflepuff with a gentle heart, had lost both her parents far too young. Lucius and Narcissa adored her from the moment they met her, treating her like the daughter they never had. Every holiday, she stayed at the Manor; every break, her bed in the guest wing was already prepared.
