The sun was bright the next morning, shining through the window and into Astoria's still shut eyes. She certainly would've slept longer if it hadn't been for the sun, but the brightness being enough to wake her up. With a small sigh she cracked her eyes to before shutting them close against the sun. Straightening her body out and stretching, Astoria turned over away from the sunlight. As she turned over her hand fell upon a warm chest beside her. Astoria's breath caught in surprise as her eyes shot open, attempting to sit up as her mind scrambled to remember where she was. Her swiftness in sitting up though caused a pain to shoot through her head, a headache from the previous nights' drinks taking a hold of her mind. Letting out a slow sigh she remembered where she was and who she was in bed with.
Astoria placed her head in her hands, both because she was embarrassed at her reaction and because her head hurt. She hoped Draco didn't see her reaction although that was soon proven wrong, a small laugh that came from him then telling her that he saw the whole thing. "Oh Draco, you didn't see that." Astoria groaned softly, before lying back down against the pillow and bringing her arm over her eyes. That comment though just caused Draco to laugh a bit louder. She turned her head, giving Draco a glare beneath her arm before letting out a small giggle at the smile on his face.
"I forgot where I was for a moment." Astoria softly said, once silence fell upon them. "I wasn't expecting my hand to land on a warm chest beside me." Astoria let out a slow giggle at her words as her eyes glanced at the chest in question before locking onto his eyes. She watched as he smiled, before saying, "I had forgotten too, but at least I didn't react like you did." Astoria reached over to give him a soft slap on his arm, Draco quickly jumping out of bed before Astoria could make contact. She let herself lay there, a soft smile on her face as she watched Draco stretch towards the ceiling before walking into his bathroom.
Once the door shut behind him Astoria slowly stood up, stretching a bit more before slowly walking out of the bedroom and down to the guest room. The room was exactly how she had left it, with the bed slightly messed up from where she had sat on it the previous night and her clothes still folded on the bed. Astoria took her time heading towards the bathroom, grabbing her clothes off the bed along the way. As she set her clothes on the counter in the bathroom she couldn't help but debate whether she should wear the same clothes she had been wearing the previous night. Eventually she pulled on her jeans and boots, putting her bra on before folding both her shirt from the night before and the shirt she slept in. Astoria vaguely remembered the amount of clothes that had been in the closet the night before, the thought enough to cause her to walk out of the bathroom and to the closet.
After a bit more digging she found a few casual shirts, Astoria picking a loose dark green shirt that rested just off her shoulders and rested from one hip across to the middle of her thigh. Satisfied she walked back into the bathroom, looking in the mirror and using her wand to fix her hair and makeup. Another flick of her wand fixed her exposed bra straps as well as sending her shirt from the previous night back home to wait for her on her bed. With one last glace in the mirror she nodded in satisfaction. As she left the bathroom she placed Draco's folded shirt on the bed. Astoria didn't see any reason to put it back where she had found it, suspecting if anything she would need it again if she found herself sleeping there again.
She slowly walked out the room and down the steps her head seeming to pound with each step. When she reached the bottom her nose caught a wonderful smell coming from the kitchen, Astoria ignoring her headache as she followed her nose to the kitchen. What she didn't expect was to see was a fully dressed Draco standing at the stove, finishing cooking some bacon and eggs. Her mouth parted slightly at the sight. He was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans, his black button-up shirt had the sleeves carefully rolled up to his elbows. She quickly clamped her mouth shut as she took a seat at the bar, watching as Draco finished cooking the food and placed it onto two plates. With a flick of his wand a pitcher of fresh orange juice poured itself into two glasses before both the full glass and the full plate levitated to sit on the bar in front of her.
Her eyes followed Draco as he walked over to the cabinet, opening it and pulling out a vial before walking around to sit on the other barstool. He set the vial in front of her, Astoria easily recognizing it as a potion for her hangover. With a grateful smile she picked it up and drank it, setting the empty vial down with a sigh. As she waited for the food to cool she did her best to not stare at the sight, instead commenting, "Wow Draco, I didn't know you could cook." Astoria knew that was only the tip of the thoughts running through her mind at that moment, but that was the only one she was willing to comment about at that moment. Who would've thought Draco Malfoy could be so caring and sweet? Astoria never would've used those words to describe him while he was still at Hogwarts. At that moment though there weren't any better words coming to her mind that she could use to describe him. What had caused such a change in him was still a mystery to Astoria. While she was slightly curious about it she knew this wasn't the time for such a conversation, and his next words pulled her thoughts away from her question.
"There is a lot you don't know about me Astoria." Draco said with a small smile on his face before he picked up his fork and began eating. Astoria wasn't completely sure what to say to that, using her food as an excuse not to speak. What did his comment mean? What does she not know about him? The thought that there's still something else that she didn't know about made her stomach churn. "Well, there's nothing I need to know now is there?" Astoria asked tentatively. Her question caused Draco's eyebrows to furrow before he slightly shook his head.
"No, there's nothing like that. You already know the worst of me Astoria. Anything else can only be better than that." Draco said softly as he focused upon Astoria. His gaze was enough to cause her to blush.
"Of course, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by the question. Your comment just caught me off guard and so I asked before I had truly thought the question through." Astoria said, starting to babble as she tried to explain. Draco brought his hand up, reaching over to grab hers, giving it a small squeeze.
"Don't apologize. I understand your need to question. Don't feel like you can't question things because you most certainly can. All I meant was we hardly know each other, so there's much we don't know about each other habits or hobbies or interests. There's just a lot we don't know about each other." Draco said with a small shrug and a smile. Astoria only felt her blush deepen.
"Yes you're absolutely correct. We don't know each other very well. There is a lot we don't know. I don't know why I didn't think of that when you said it." Astoria said, turning her attention back to her food as she willed her embarrassment to go away. Did she really have to ask such a question? Apparently even during a hangover her mind wouldn't quit questioning things she didn't know. She focused on finishing her breakfast in silence, Draco not breaking the silence as he too finished eating. Soon her thoughts turned back to her impending trip home, her blush quickly disappearing at that thought. When she had finished her plate and finished her orange juice she let out a sigh, glancing at Draco to see he too had finished.
"Well, I guess I should go home now. Thank you for letting me stay." Astoria said, standing up, watching Draco stand up too. She could only be thankful that the potion had kicked in and her head was blissfully calm, allowing her to talk to Draco without wincing at the noise. "It wasn't a problem Astoria, anytime. I will see you soon ok?" Draco replied, as he walked her to the front door. Astoria smiled, watching as Draco leaned in, placing a kiss on her cheek. At the contact she felt the butterflies in her stomach once again, her mind remembering her reaction to his kiss the previous night. She pushed the thought away though, concentrating on her words. "Yes I will see you soon." Astoria replied, walking out the door and hearing it shut behind her.
She took a few steps down the walk and, after taking a breath, Astoria apparated home. Slowly she walked to the front door, bracing herself before opening it and walking in. As soon as the door shut behind her she heard quick footsteps running towards the hall, Astoria wondering who had been waiting for her to return home.
