The first week passed easily, with a mixture of quidditch practice and swimming races in the pools. Draco won the quidditch, easily considering he always had the faster broom. Though he didn't stand a chance with the swimming.
Both were exhausted after yet another swimming match and slowly climbed the stairs up to Draco's room. Mia'd beaten him again, and now he was sulking. Her hair was wrapped up in a towel she had borrowed from one of the many bathrooms, where as Draco's was damp and dripping down his shirtless back. They stopped before the bedroom doors and the younger Slytherin muttered something about getting changed first and went into her temporary bedroom.
She still couldn't get over how big it was, and as she changed out of her bikini and into a pair of khaki shorts and plain black t-shirt, she imagined what any off the Weasley's would look like if they'd see it. Giving her hair one last tussle with the towel, she grabbed a bobble and plated it so it would g waxy when dry. Finally the teenager left the room and went across to Draco's, knocking and opening the door at the same time. He'd also gotten changed, though only managed to be half dressed, barely able to pull his trousers up in time as she entered.
"Sorry" she apologised half-heartedly, not really all that sorry. He waved it off though, picking up the green shirt with a broomstick on it and pulling it over his head. The scars on his back had been magically covered up on all of the occasions he'd been shirtless, and Mia was beginning to enjoy seeing the smooth flawless skin there. "Are you still sulking?"
"You cheated!" That was a yes then. Frowning she crossed her arms over her chest.
"How on earth did I cheat?" He shrugged, unable to come up with a valid reason but refused to back down. Admitting defeat was weak, and one thing Draco Malfoy was not was weak. "Right, so because you lost, again, I cheated?" Mia asked trying to get her head around what he was saying.
"Exactly" he answered before throwing the towel he'd used on his body at her. She ducked but it still managed to hit her on the shoulder. Her 'magical side' as Mia was now calling it, only seemed to appear when she was in danger, yet that seemed to be fading the more she was with the blonde. Picking it back up off the floor and throwing it back, the younger walked over to the desk. Draco normally kept his wand on him, but right now it was sat atop a pile of books just waiting to be taken.
"I think this should be my prize" she stated whilst slipping the wand into her hand and taking slow steps towards the door, a grin over her features. The blonde looked un-amused though, and lunged at her, causing her to now make a hasty retreat out of the door and running down the hallway. She could hear the laughter in the others voice as he pursued, shouting to
"Get back here!" she ignored the joking threats the came after, making it down the stairs and through another hallway, turning left and out a door leading to the grounds. Her name was called again as she entered the huge maze, and part of her mind was warning her not to get lost. The dark haired girl didn't stop though. Once she was deep into the tall bushed, Mia paused, doubling over and trying to catch her breath. Running really wasn't that easy when you spent most of your time on a broom. Unfortunately Draco's blonde hair started to become visible around one of the corners and she had to take off again, this time laughing at the annoyed look he gave.
It went on for over half an hour, like a giant game of hide and seek, but eventually the order's stamina won out. Mia sped round another corner, the opening of the maze in sight, yet Draco was right behind her now, managing to grab her around the waist and swing her halfway around before she could reach it. The wand was still in her hand, which was now up in the air to try and keep it away.
"Mine" She protested, but was quickly tackled to the ground- gently of course, as his foot tangled around her knee, putting on enough pressure for them to collapse. They both fell, Draco landing over, but not on top of Mia as he snatched the wand back.
"Mine" he said quietly, a smile visible in his eyes. Mia didn't bother to try and take it back, knowing it would be a pointless struggle.
"You could've just asked for it back" she declared instead, her breathing still irregular from the running.
"You could've just not stolen it" he countered with, his own breathing much more stable. She resisted the urge to start a 'you could've' war, and bit her lip instead, beginning to sit up, thinking the blonde would do the same. But he didn't. Mia glanced down for a heartbeat, before back up at him, her mouth parting slightly as a question mark covered her features. For instead Draco stayed perfectly still as she got closer, a peaceful, almost relieved look filling his face when her lips finally met his. He could feel her smile, and did so himself, putting all of his weight onto one of his hands to stop his body from crushing her, and his now free hand slid into the dark hair. Carefully he pulled most of it from the bobble it was encaged in, his fingers running through the released curls, his lips slowly moving against her. They had to break apart after several more seconds, Mia's breathing even worse than after the run. They stayed looking into the others eyes however, happy looks on both faces.
Draco rolled off and stood finally, brushing the dirt from his knees and helping Mia up. He pulled her against him in the process, kissing her forehead.
"And that's why you shouldn't steal my wand" he said when they started walking back up to the manor. Mia raised an eyebrow, still smiling,
"I'll steal it more often if that's the outcome" the blonde nudged her lightly, a laugh escaping from his lips.
"Want to steal it again right now?" He offered, the smile changing to a smirk. Rolling her eyes the younger chose to ignore the comment. She'd be lying if she said that wasn't tempting, but as Lucius was now visible peering out of the kitchen window, his eyes flashing furiously, she decided against it. Although even he couldn't put a dampener on her mood right now.
