"Draco Freaking' Malfoy!" I squeaked.
"What?" he let out a soft laugh. I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"Please—"
"Please what?" he rushed then looked me in the eye. I poked him and said
"Hey, blonde" then I looked at him but he was looking outside.
He pulled me.
"Curls look. What a shame for the star tonight" I felt curious. He continued without looking at me.
"Why is that so?"
"They're nothing compared.." then he looked at me. "To your eyes tonight." Then smiled.
"That's a lie."
But I felt my heart rapidly beating I know he felt it too, he lead me to the window and we saw Ginny and Harry playing outside with the snow, I admired how they stayed strong despite the fact that Harry was named as "the boy who lived" who despite all the danger and fame, stayed humble and stayed just the way he introduced himself to us.
I was distracted when I felt the feeling that someone was analyzing me. Draco. He was curling my hair. I looked at him and I promise I saw no threat in his eyes. He was pure.
"Blonde?"
"Hmm?" he stopped curling my hair and he looked outside.
I took the chance to touch his face.
"Thank you." I said
"For what?" he asked, returning the touch I gave him. He let his hand fall.
"For everything." And then there was silence.
"No, I'm supposed to be the one thanking you." I dropped my hands to his hands.
"For seeing the real me, for allowing me, after everything to be this close to you. To be this close to the girl, one and only girl who taught me how to fight the darkness, who despite everything still gave her heart to the silver haired guy who almost ruined her life."
We both smiled.
"That's the sweetest thing you said to me tonight, and I – I don't know how to answer to that. It's probably the sweetest thing a guy has said to me and I love the thought that it's you, who's saying all those stuffs to me." I smiled at him and it felt so nice, so warm knowing that I somehow made an impact on the person I love the life of the one I love the most. A good impact.
He leaned in and kissed me, it was a soft, tender kiss without tension, without force and this is how I wanted it to be, then I heard a knock. We parted and I rolled my eyes.
"Really now?" I said.
"Dinner's ready." Ron said.
"Ron, you clearly have the wrong room now." I said.
"Sorry, 'Mione. Draco here seems hungry." Then they laughed.
'Boys, okay we'll follow."
"We?" Draco objected.
"Alright, alright." I rolled my eyes and turned around.
I heard footsteps, so I thought they already left, then strong arms wrapped around me.
"C'mon now, future wife." Draco said.
"Ha! Say what now, Mr. Malfoy?" I giggled.
I thought everyone was already gone but no, they were waiting for us. Harry, Ron, Ginny, Luna, Neville
