A/N: Thank you everyone for all the reads/reviews/favorites! They make me smile! :-)


When the first sprinkles of rain fell, Draco Malfoy watched Astoria Greengrass lift her head up to the sky. Her polite mask drifted away as a soft laugh escaped from her lips and her face lit up with delight. Her unguarded and carefree expression reminded him of his school years; of a simpler time, before the war. He remembered laughing with his pals and playing pranks on his schoolmates; sneaking to the kitchens for midnight snacks and teasing the girls whenever possible.

He remembered watching his first love, with her soft brown eyes and unruly hair, always grinning and laughing about one thing or another…

It was then that he noticed Hermione and Astoria had the same big, beautiful smile.

"Let's head inside, shall we?" he asked, holding out his hand. She continued to smile up at him while she placed her hand in his. Suddenly, Draco realized he could fall in love with Astoria Greengrass.
