A/N: I still don't own Harry Potter

Lily's letter didn't reach him until lunch. He slid the letter into his pocket without looking at it. Her could smell her perfume wafting up from the parchment.

"Your not girlfriend again, Draco?" Neville asked. Draco smirked.

"Yes, but she'll be soon enough it turns out. I'm meeting her over the holiday," Draco stated. Him and Neville weren't best friends, but they were friends.

"Good, I'm glad you've found someone," Neville stated turning his attention back to his lunch. Draco glanced towards the Slytherin table only to find Lily not there. For a second he worried she was upset because of their conversation, but he knew she could take care of herself. She was probably somewhere reading that book again. He'd noticed her fascinated by the idea of creating her own spells.

He slipped into his office later that day and opened the letter smiling. She must have sent this before they spoke. As he read, his eyes widened slightly. She'd been asking him out even before they'd spoken. Well, he knew the letter didn't exactly say it like that, but he understood exactly what she was trying to say. He grabbed his quill.

Dear Mia,

I would love to meet up with you after your birthday, a private dinner somewhere maybe? I know of a few places where we could meet for dinner. Yes, that sounds exactly as I mean it, Mia. I hope to hear from you soon.

Draco.

He smiled. He'd been thinking about it since they'd spoken. Did he want to take the risk of dating her, she seemed ready to accept it. He wondered if Harry would really do anything towards his own daughter, could he really be that petty? His mind was still thinking about the fact that he would have to deal with Potter, dinner with Potter, possibly, eventually, being family with Potter. He smiled knowing no matter what, Lily would there with him.

The next day no one was paying a bit of attention to anything resembling school work. Everyone was talking about their summer plans, who was going where, and what the latest issue of Witch Weekly said was going to be the fashion accessory of the season. Lily could care less about most of these things. She had finally managed to finish the book and had more questions than answers about creating her own spells.

She welcomed the distraction of Draco's owl landing in front of her. She took the letter and opened it, no one was paying her a bit of attention so why not give in to her desires? She smiled reading it. Her eyes widened as she realized Draco was actually asking her out on a date! She wanted to scream happily at the top of her lungs, she wanted to throw confetti into the air. She wanted to run up and hug him tightly. Instead she glanced around and realized, no one was paying attention to her. Everyone was celebrating the end of the term.

She raised her wand and shot streamers and confetti into the air. Of course, she made it green and silver so everyone would know she was celebrating the fact Slytherin was about the win the house cup.

Draco blinked as silver and green confetti filled the air. A quick look over towards Lily showed she'd done it. At first, he was confused, since when did she celebrate house spirit, then he saw the letter, his letter sitting on the table by her hand. She was saying 'yes' to a date with him. A small piece of confetti landed on his nose. He picked up and smiled, it was shaped like a snake curled into a heart.

Lily yanked her trunk as she joined the rest of the students heading towards the carriages. Slytherin had won the house cup, no one had been surprised. She could feel someone watching her as she struggled with the trunk. She hadn't thought it would be so heavy.

"Do you need some help, Miss Potter?" She turned and smiled.

"Professor Malfoy, come to see us all off for the summer?" she asked giving him an innocent look. He smiled grabbing her trunk with ease and putting it on the carriage for her.

"Have a good summer, Miss Potter," he stated giving him a smile. She smiled back at him as she climbed aboard the carriage. As it moved, she watched him until he was out of sight. She sighed happily. He'd come to see her off. She wondered how long it would be before they could meet up during the summer. She already knew they'd be going on a date the day after her birthday. That was only about a week away at least.

She stared out the window the entire train ride home. This was the first time she'd gone home with a real plan over what to do over the holiday. Pulling a sheet of parchment from her bag, she started writing a list. She needed to do more research on making spells and charms. She remembered Draco telling her that Uncle Severus had created some. She also wanted to talk to Aunt Hermione about what she should do this last year about Draco. She knew she couldn't openly date him during the school year. The summer was one thing, they could figure out ways, places to go, where no one would see them.
