He laughed, immediately stopping and looking from beneath his eyelashes, his face that clearly begging for a kiss being wiped off and replaced with a faint blush and glittering eyes. "But did it work?"
Astoria flicked her wand, causing the lights in the room to soften, almost making it redder, so that the only thing that really shone were their eyes, like fireflies in the twilight.
"I think I'll wait with putting on my lipstick, if you know what I mean," she answered while letting her hand slide up beneath Draco's shirt.
