Draco grins hugely when Bloom and Sirius Floo into the Malfoy residence in Paris - and then his thoughts go fuzzier than a fur-lined cloak when he sees Bloom's ecstatic expression. Lucius smirks at Sirius, and says "You each have a hundred Galleons to spend on the shopping trip. Seeing as nobody here should recognize you two, it should be safe to be seen in public. Sirius?"

Sirius grimaces, and pulls out a stack of parchment, saying "I've got stuff to catch up on. Twelve years in Azkaban, plus another in St. Mungo's…I'm nearly caught up with all the businesses, Black and Potter alike, but…" He shrugs, and says "Just be careful, you two. Bloom, you've got that mirror, right?"

Bloom pulls it out, and says "And the Portkey, and my armlets."

Sirius nods, and then Bloom's practically dragging Draco out of the door. He grins once they're in the foyer - well away from any adults or other prying eyes - and says "You're in a good mood today."

She practically squeals "I've been looking forward to this since I read that note!" She suddenly gets in his face and lands her lips on his - messy, passionate, and making heat rush to his head deliciously - and he immediately tilts his head to the side while biting back a moan. He could certainly get used to being surprised like that if all her kisses are this…'electric' doesn't quite describe it, somewhere between there and 'burning like an inferno.' He vaguely feels her hand move to the back of his head, tangling in his hair and gripping it in a way that should probably hurt, and only immediately leans into the kiss.

It's only when his lungs demand some air, forcing that need into the front of his brain, that he pulls back and opens his eyes - Bloom makes a sound of protest that has him very nearly pulled back down, but he puts a hand on her elbow and the other to her cheek. When she opens her eyes, the blue is shot through with orange - that certainly explains a lot. Draco catches his breath, burying his face in Bloom's neck to stop the guilty look painting itself all over her face, and says "If every kiss is like that, I'm going to become addicted rather quickly."

She shivers, likely from the feeling of his breath on her neck, then says "I never really did learn complete control, you know. My magic is too linked to my emotions, apparently. I've been doing a lot of reading, the old legends about the Dragon Flame…fire magic is usually volatile, the most connected with a person's emotions and state of mind."

Draco grins, and says "No wonder you usually overpowered every spell you did. The Levitation Charm in year one, for example. I've been reading to - the amount of magic you have…you could level all of Hogwarts if you were really pushed into it, or had a meltdown or something."

Bloom chuckles, and says "If Dumbledore knows that, he'd better stay the bloody hell away from me. If he doesn't, I don't care. And, if I finally snap under all the pressure…well, I'll just aim for the ones responsible and away from any bystanders."

Draco chuckles, nibbling at the spot on her neck where he can feel her pulse, and is rewarded with an even stronger shiver and a jolt of heat running through him that he's sure is entirely Bloom's magic. Bloom suddenly pulls back, her face flushing a bright red, and mumbles "We should probably go…"

Draco chuckles - only Bloom could pull him into a kiss like that, then seem embarrassed at the intense display of her feelings for him - and says "But of course." He links his arm with Bloom's, intent on not letting her out of his sight until they're in L'artisanat - the best art store in the city.


Once they get inside the store, Bloom goes still and very nearly gapes at the sight of all the different kinds of art supplies - everything from colored pencils to paints to giant blocks of marble that he's sure she's going to start drooling over - and asks "This is a Wizarding Art store?!"

Draco grins, and says "One of the best, actually. They've got-!" He never gets to finish, as Bloom drags him over and starts running her fingers along some drawing paper - he's never seen her quite this excited.

The shopping trip for new clothes for her was a close second, but this seems to be a hidden passion. And the dam holding it all back just broke at the sight of all the supplies available to her.

He amuses himself looking through sketchbooks of different kinds of paper, when he hears something that sounds suspiciously like an 'eep!' from Bloom's direction - oh. She just discovered the pack of colored pencils made in literally every color imaginable. There must be three hundred colors in that pack easily, and she's staring at it with enormous eyes and a delighted smile as she holds it to her torso.

Draco sees she's headed for the paints, and quickly heads for the art boxes - they're basically entire studios in a magic box, storing everything from canvas to paint to anything else she puts in there without it getting ruined. Something tells him she'll need it - and that she'll be so excited she'll kiss him again, in that electric, burning, incredible way of hers. He's got to be able to do that while at Hogwarts - if not, he highly doubts he'll be able to focus on his OWL's. Hell, he probably won't be able to focus on them if he manages to sneak her away to snog her senseless either.

When she finally gets over to the counter, the sheer amount of stuff that gets placed almost reverently on the counter stuns the clerk speechless. She comes out to just under the hundred Galleons she has to spend. Draco used fifty on the Art Box, and he figures Bloom won't mind if he takes her out to lunch - meals are almost a religious obsession with her, not that he questions it after learning of her time at 4 Privet Drive, so he can't see her complaining too much.

If she tries, he can turn on the Malfoy Charm that never fails to fluster people - and Bloom's no exception to this, as he's managed to make her stutter and blush a few times while she was living in the Manor. It usually got him a poke in the ribs, which completely ruined the effect, but it was worth it every time to see her adorable reaction.

They end up getting spaghetti, Draco discovers Bloom loves pasta quite a bit, and it ends up being a very enjoyable time. As they're walking back to the hotel, Draco gets an idea and says "You've got a spot of sauce on your cheek."

Bloom blinks, then wipes the back of her hand on her cheek - it comes up clean.

After a few more tries, Draco says "I'll get it." Instead of wiping the non-existent spot of tomato sauce off, he kisses Bloom on the cheek. Then moves to her jawline. He can feel Bloom blushing ferociously, and only pulls back after about the sixth kiss. "Mm, I think I've wanted to do that since Ollivander's."

Bloom chuckles, trying to make her blush go away, and says "I can't imagine why."

Draco doesn't even try to figure out what she actually means by that, and opts to smirk at her and say "I'll have to find a few ways to sneak you away from the public eye for a while."

Bloom snorts derisively at that, and says "That's not possible, I'm afraid. It seems eternally stuck to me with a Charm."

Draco purrs "I'm sure that Cloak of yours could help, though."

Bloom chuckles, then stands up on her tip-toes and gives him a peck on his own cheek - at his own blush, she teases "You had some sauce there. Did you know?"


AN: Hey, everyone! Next chapter is up! As to the results of the poll, it was - surprisingly - unanimous. Guardians by a landslide. I'm kinda shocked there wasn't even one vote for 'Defenders' - but, its all good.

Anyway, this is one last piece of pure fluff-stuff before we get to Hogwarts - I couldn't promise Bloom a shopping trip and then NOT write it! Its too cruel to the girl! Just in case anyone is wondering why i'm not naming them 'Winx' - a, it wouldn't make sense at all, and b, I'm going to have someone else come up with it. This Bloom doesn't really seem the type to come up with nicknames, thanks to the Dursleys.

At any rate, what does anyone think of the idea I've been running past you - new Winx/HTTYD crossover? And should I have Hiccup grow up with Valka, or just not have him exist at all? Because, if he does exist, he'll grow up with Valka.

Anyway, enjoy! More chapters coming soon! Once I get Bloom to Magix, I'm thinking of starting Dragon Tamer - good idea, or no? I really do like your feedback, everyone. Makes my day, reading the reviews!
