Pairing: Daphne/Graham
Prompt: Astronomy Tower
Daphne climbed the stairs leading to the Astronomy tower. Her heart was beating harder than ever. Was she really doing this?
Once Daphne reached the top of the stairs, she stopped. In front of her, stood the most perfect man she'd ever met. Graham Montague, the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team. He'd been helping her with her Astronomy homework recently. Not that she really needed help, she just enjoyed having Graham around.
Daphne considered herself to be very lucky, since she was only a fifth year and Graham was in his seventh year. Not many girls got to date a man like Graham. Not in Daphne's opinion anyway.
"What sort of problem do you have this time?" Graham asked with an amused look on his face. He was aware of the fact that Daphne was brilliant when it came to Astronomy, and didn't really need his help, but he didn't mind. He got to spend time with a beautiful girl, without making anyone suspect a thing.
"Planets' movements. I don't understand a thing", Daphne admitted, smiling. She was holding a thick book about Astronomy. Graham glanced at the book and raised an eyebrow. Suddenly the book fell to the floor as he kissed her.
Daphne couldn't help but to feel a little dizzy. He'd never kissed her like that before. Sure, they'd kissed a few times but not like that. It had never been quite so...passionate.
"What was that about?" Daphne inquired with a smile.
"Well, my time at Hogwarts is ending. I just wanted a kiss before I leave", Graham said. The thought had never really crossed Daphne's mind. He was leaving and then she'd be all alone.
"Don't worry. I'll write, and we can meet on the holidays", he promised in a hushed tone and kissed her again.
"Okay", Daphne knew that she sounded like a silly little school girl, but so what? That's what she really was, wasn't it? At least she felt a bit silly, kissing her boyfriend or whatever he was, in the tallest tower of Hogwarts.
"I'm going to miss you, you know", Graham whispered. Daphne just nodded. She already knew that. But she also knew that once Graham was out of Hogwarts, their relationship would most likely end. After all, why would he want to be tied to a girlfriend who was at Hogwarts, when he could date any girl he wanted?
"Aren't you going to miss me?" he asked. Daphne smiled a little.
"Sure I am. How am I ever going to finish my Astronomy homework, once you're gone?" she said. This seemed to upset Graham a little.
"I won't be gone. I'll just be away for a while. We'll meet again. And once you're out of Hogwarts, we can do whatever we want. Get married, or whatever it is that girls dream of", Daphne laughed a little at Graham's plans. Sure they were sweet but a bit unrealistic.
"Sure", Daphne said anyway. She didn't mind dreaming about marriage. It was what her parents wanted from her. That she married a pureblood wizard. That was all they really expected. Graham was a pureblood, so they could have nothing to say againts him.
Suddenly someone laughed behind them. Daphne turned around to face a very familiar face.
"Astoria!", she exclaimed, "Go away!"
"I'm sorry. I had no idea you were here. Believe me. Not something I want to see", Astoria said with a huge grin on her face, "But I have to ask. Is this something mom and father know about?"
Needless to say, this made Daphne rather angry. It was really a speciality of Astoria's, getting Daphne to the brink of utter rage. Even Graham thought it to be very amusing as he watched his grilfriend chase her little sister down the stairs of the Astronomy Tower.
