DRACO POV

What was I doing? I rolled off Tenneh, and, standing up, helped her up. I looked at her, and she at me, and we both burst out laughing. We were covered in snow; it had stuck in our hair and our robes, covering the black so it looked like grey. I bent over and clutched my knees to steady myself as I took deep breaths to calm myself down.

"Sorry about knocking you over," I mumbled when I'd caught my breath, blushing slightly as I realised how stupid I'd been.

She ruffled my hair, trying to dislodge some of the snow caught up in it. "It's okay," she smiled, before handing me back my snitch. "Sorry for taking your snitch."

She liked her arm into mine when I offered it, and nattered all the way back to the castle.

I didn't really pay much attention to what she was talking about, something about Quidditch and homework; I was too busy watching her. The way her eyes brightened when she was talking about something she loved, the way they glistened when the winter light caught them, the way her short hair ruffled in the wind and she occasionally lifted her hand up to brush her fringe out of the way.

She stopped suddenly and looked at me, and I jolted out of my reverie.

"Thanks for being such a great friend, Draco," she looked down and shuffled her feet. "I feel like I can confide in you anytime."

I reached down and lifted her chin so I was looking into her eyes, "Anytime." I smiled and gazed at her golden orbs of hope and happiness. "Thank you for being there so I can talk to you."

She grinned and pulled me in close for a hug, which I reciprocated. She leant back and kissed me.

I could feel her cold, soft lips against mine, and I kissed her back. Our mouths moved together in silent harmony, but she broke it.

I heard he whisper, "I'm sorry," before starting to run towards the castle. I ran after her and caught her wrist, turning her to face me.

I searched her face for any sign that she hadn't wanted to do what she'd just done in kissing me, and finding none, I said, "I kissed you back didn't I?" I pulled her closer, and putting her head in my hands, brought her face to meet mine.

I felt her hands run through my hair as she pulled herself closer to me, and I slipped my hands from her face to her waist, pulling her closer to me. Slowly I felt her loosen as she pushed more passion into it. Hesitantly she ran her tongue along my bottom lip, and I granted her entrance into my mouth. I allowed her to search my mouth before I carefully slid my tongue into hers. The kiss soon got more heated as our tongues battled for dominance in each other's mouths, and soon we were both gasping for air.

We lent our foreheads against each other and giggled as if we couldn't believe we'd just done that.

"That was good right?" Tenneh inquired as we walked the last few metres to the castle. I nodded. "Good, maybe we can do it again sometime," she said as she skipped off back to the Hufflepuff common room, and I stood there watching her go. She was just so graceful in her movements.

I knew I loved her, but how much? That I didn't know. Only time would tell.
