A/N: Regard this chapter as a birthday present. Happy birthday, Germany!
When I walked out of the big door I was aware that it really was way too late for me to be wandering around, but just like a couple of months ago I told myself that it was okay since I was Head Girl. If someone was to find me and scold me, I would just say that I was on patrol. No one, maybe except for Snape and Filch, would even doubt me. I breathed in the cold winter air and a big smile crept on my face. It was astonishing how fresh and cleansing the air became in the colder months. I walked a little around the lake, so I couldn't be seen from the castle as easily. The snow blew in my face and the wind whipped around my already frosted hair. I stopped, opened my arms wide and looked up to the sky. Laughing I then twirled around, faster and faster, until I finally became to dizzy to do so. I laughed on and caught for breath. There was just something about snow that made it irresistible to me. It was so beautiful and shiny when it just laid unspoilt on the ground, and something so powerful and terrifying when it came in a storm, just like it did today. I didn't understand all the people that preferred staying inside in the winter. How could they miss out on something like this? True, it was cold and the feeling of being so soaked wasn't exactly nice, but it was all worth for this cleansing air and this beauty. I picked up some of the snow that was on the ground and formed it into a ball. Then I threw it out on the lake, as far as I could. With a happy giggle I heard the plump sound when the snowball touched the still not frosted surface of the water and broke through it. Again I lifted my face to the sky. The only light there was was the moonlight and the light that shone through a couple of windows of the castle. This setting was just amazing.
Suddenly I felt a solid body crash against my shoulder and I stumbled surprised. A slight pain shot through my shoulder, but it wasn't too bad. Did I just get hit by a snowball? I looked around confused, but couldn't make out anyone because of the dense snowfall.
"Hello?" I cried out and waited for a couple of seconds. No answer. I was almost ready to shrug it off and decide that my mind had played a trick on me, when I got hit by another snowball. I rubbed my thigh for a couple of seconds. It had definitely come from my right. I picked up some snow from the ground and formed it into a snowball, while slowly walking to my right. I could make out a shape that resembled a human body and threw the snowball at it, as hard as I could. I could see the snowball hitting the shape and the shape jerk. It looked like it was a tall man. I picked up another snowball and threw it again. The man dodged it as if it were nothing and threw another snowball at me that I saw too late. It hit me right on my chest and I moaned. Quickly I picked up two snowballs at a time and threw them right after each other, before I picked up the next ones. A big smile was plastered on my face. This was fun. My first snowball fight this year, it didn't even matter who it was with. The figure came closer and closer and constantly threw snowballs at me, just like I was constantly throwing snowballs at him. Then he was standing right in front of me, snow in the palms of his hands.
"Hey Granger." He said and I opened my eyes wide as I realized who was standing in front of me. I already had opened my mouth to reply something when I suddenly felt a bunch of snow in my face.
"Malfoy!" I cried out as soon as it was safe for me to open my mouth again. I heard him laugh and felt his hand pull back. I opened my eyes again and looked up to him. He was genially smiling and laughing. I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Oh you have it coming." I said, a dangerous glint in my eyes. Without hesitation I rubbed him a bunch of snow in the face too and he groaned quietly and tried to dodge my hands, but I wouldn't give up that easily. Then he decided that the only way to stop me was with a counterstrike. He put his arms around me and gently, but powerfully forced me to the ground. I laughed and picked up more snow.
"Granger!" He groaned and I giggled even louder. Without being able to open his eyes he picked up snow too and rubbed it in my face. He was almost lying on top of me on the ground as we were both rubbing snow in each others faces.
"Truce!" I finally cried out. As I felt his hands pull away from me I lowered mine as well and scraped the snow off my face. I saw him do the same and had to laugh again. His eyelashes were glazed with snow and his cheeks were really rosy. It looked adorable. I looked at him and it appeared to me as if I was looking at him for the first time. The elfish twinkle in his eyes and the bright smile on his face were unknown to me. I had never seen them before, but I immediately knew that I wanted to see them again, every day if possible. The longer I was looking at him the weaker the smile and the twinkle became. Then they were totally gone and I realized that he too was just looking at me. I realized that he was still pretty much lying on top of me and how close he really was. His hand slowly reached up to my cheek and rubbed it ever so lightly. He didn't even wear gloves. I could see his gaze scurry down to my lips for a split second, then his eyes were back on my eyes.
"Granger?" I could hear his voice whisper, sounding more like a question. Then his lips were on top of mine and I forgot about everything else. All I knew was how warm and soft his lips were and that my heart was exploding. It wasn't a deep or passionate kiss, more of a soft sweet one, but I knew that if I had stood right now, my knees would have given in under me. His one hand was still on my cheek, pulling my face gently closer as my hand laid itself around his neck, without my mind even telling it too. It was like nothing else mattered in this moment, all that mattered was that his lips were on mine and that despite of the cold, my whole body was tingly and warm. Either he was the most amazing kisser walking this earth or this was magic. It was almost like when I had held my wand for the first time and that warm breeze had rushed through me, almost like it was heaven-sent. This was magical, this was heavenly. Then he slowly pulled away, smiling softly. We just looked at each other, unable to say anything and not wanting to end this moment. It was one of those moments that you will never forget in your whole life. Enchanting. Perfect.
Then suddenly it seemed like he awoke from a trance. "What the hell?" He asked, sounding angry. He sat up and glared at me. "What did you do, Granger?"
I looked at him confusedly. "What did I do?" I cried unbelievingly.
"Did you jinx me again?"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Jinx you? Why would you think that?"
"Well it definitely feels like I was jinxed! I don't feel good." He said, now more quietly. "Well I feel good, but not... normal." He then added.
Was he kidding?
"I just got kissed by a Mudblood." He whispered as if he were confused by it. A sharp pain shot through me, but before I could open my mouth and tell him that in fact he had kissed me and that I was not a Mudblood, he murmured, "I have to get back to the castle." and got up quickly. Without looking at me again he ran off and after a couple of feet I couldn't see him anymore. I just laid there for a couple of seconds, unable to understand what had just happened. He had kissed me and it had been magical. And then he hadn't felt normal? I raised my eyebrows. Could it just be that he had felt exactly what I had felt and didn't understand it? I hardly could understand it, but I knew what love was. He didn't. Or did he just feel sick? I sighed and got up. There was no use in wondering about it, that was for him to figure out, not for me. I knew what I felt. I sneaked back into the castle and into the common room. As I had expected he wasn't there, probably already in his room. I went to my own room and took off all of my wet clothes, before I put on my pajamas and went back into the common room to finish my Charms essay. After a couple of minutes I became really cold, so I got up and wrapped myself in a blanket.
A/N: Hey guys,
Are you as excited as I am? Their first kiss! Let me know what you think, do you think this kiss was good enough to be in a Dramione fic or too plain... cause then it would fit better into a Romione fic, right? Lol I'm just kidding all you Ron fans out there! So this story is slowly but surely heading towards its end. Don't worry there are a couple more chapters to come, but since I'm mostly done with the writing of them I started writing a new story. It's called "Doloribus Mors" and it's another Dramione fic, but very different. Don't bother looking for it, it's not up yet. But keep your eyes open for it, it won't be long anymore ;)
Love,
ShayleeRae
