"10 drabbles, 10 topics challenge" on the HPFC forum. Prompt: het pairing- Draco Malfoy/Astoria Greengrass
Walking through snow was irritating on a good day, but ever since Daphne had decided this would be a fantastic time to argue their views on Pureblood supremacy, Astoria mentally declared that this was, in fact, a Terrible Day and not at all a good one to start walking through snow.
She huffed and stomped more determinedly through the pale white powder, shivering in the cold. Stupid Daphne and her stupid rebellion.
"Greengrass?" a voice questioned. It sounded confused and tired. She turned, her cloak brushing the snow into her boots. She grit her teeth and sent a strained smile towards Draco Malfoy, who returned it after a second with raised eyebrows. "What are you doing out here in this hour?" he demanded, coming up to stand in front of her.
She rolled her eyes and turned away from him, staring instead at the full moon above. "My sister is a fool, but that is nothing new," she said, her voice shaking. She cursed inwardly and shivered when a chill traveled down her spine.
Draco hummed in acknowledgment but did not actually seem to care, instead keeping a steady eye on her. "You'll freeze out here," he said suddenly, pulling off his cloak and wrapping it around her shoulders. "What were you thinking, coming out here in your nightclothes?" he asked, rhetorically.
She grit her teeth again and didn't answer, just sighing when he led her back inside with a brief kiss to her hair. He was warm, at least, she thought. And when he walked away, she considered that she could do worse than the Malfoy Prince. Maybe, her thoughts continued, it hadn't been a terrible thing to argue after all, not when Draco Malfoy came to her rescue.
