'You know, this might be one of my favorite seasons.' You sighed while walking into the forest with Draco.

'Atumumn?' Draco asked while kicking some leaves away.

'Yes, the colors, the temperature-'

'Temperature? It's bloody cold Y/N.' Draco grinned. 

'No, it's isn't to hot but also not cold... it's nice.' You smiled.

You tangled your fingers with Dracos and looked around. A lot of trees had bright red, brown and yellow colors. Leaves were spread everywhere and some three still had all their green leaves... magical trees that would loose their leaves all at once. You felt the cold breeze against your face. You smiled at Draco.

'I can't believe that it's already almost winter.' Draco sighed. 'Are you planning on going home?'

'To who? I have no one waiting for me.' You sighed.

'Should I ask my parents if you can come with me?' He asked.

'Maybe you and your parents need some... alone time. It's fine Draco, I'll just stay here.'

'If you say so...'

You stopped and pulled his chin up.

'Don't worry, I'll survive here.' You smiled and you kissed him.

'I know you will. It's just... you'll be celebrating Christmas alone. Even Andrew and Laurie are going away.'

'I know... and it's fine. I'll just... study.'

Draco sighed and pulled you against him. You hugged him back.

'I'll ask if you can go with me.'

'No Draco you don't ha-'

'Yes, I will ask.' He mumbled in your hair.

You sighed.

'Thanks...' you spoke softly.

'Always darling.'

You let each other go and you grabbed his hand again.

'I love you.' You smiled. 

'I love you too.' He answered.

You continued walking through the forest. You listened to the different sounds around you.

'Harry! Stop it you fool! You scared me!' You heard Ginny yel.

You heard Harry laugh. You saw Ginny and Harry coming from the bushes.

'Hi guys, taking a morning walk as well?' Harry asked. 

'Yes, just enjoying the whether.'  You smiled.

'It is really nice out here.' Ginny smiled. 'So, how are you two doing?'

'I'm fine.' You smiled. 

'I'm good.' Draco answered. 'You two?'

'Perfect.' Harry smiled happily. 'It's good to hear that you two are fine. Everyone is still going crazy about the two of you returning.' Harry sighed. 'But... Malfoy, if you ask me... everything is forgiven.'

Draco looked at him and Harry offered his his hand... the hand that refused Dracos in first year. Draco smiled slightly and reached out and shook it.

'Call me Draco.' He spoke.

Harry smiled at him.

'Where are you guys heading?' Ginny asked.

'Not sure... just going for a walk.'

Harry looked at Ginny who nodded.

'Do you guys want to join to Hogsmeade?' Harry asked.

You looked at Draco. He shrugged.

'Sure.' You smiled.

-

You walked towards the three broomsticks. Harry and Ginny walk slightly in front of you. They opened the door and walked in. You followed them and saw Hermione and Ron sitting at a table.

'Okay, Ron... you have to calm down. We came across Draco and Y/N and invited them.' Harry spoke while you walked towards them.

'You're mental. Come on Hermione, we're leaving.' He sighed and he got up while holding her hand.

Hermione pulled him back on his seat.

'No Ronald, we're staying. Everyone here has managed to forgive them. Y/N and Draco did not kill your brother. They had nothing to do with it.' She spoke.

'They joined them. When they could do something good for Hogwarts and stand up against that... that monster, they choose his side again. How am I supposed to forgive them?'

'We did as well. Y/N helped Harry Ron... Draco didn't even kill anyone. They have nothing made a few mistakes... we can't stay angry at them.'

Ron looked at the two of you.

'Give then a chance Ron. I'm your sister... Fred was also my brother and I managed to forgive them. That's because they had nothing to do with it. Listen to me... to us. Give them a chance.'

Ron sighed and nodded. You joined their table.

'Thank you.' You smiled.

Ron didn't answer. A boy walked towards your table. He was older then you were, about two years. He was about a head bigger then Draco. He had blonde hair and sea blue eyes. He smiled at you in a flirty way and you passed him a smile back.

'Hi, what can I get you today?' He asked.

'6 butterbeer please.' Harry spoke.

'Coming right up.' He smiled and he winked at you.

'That idiot.' Draco sighed.

'What?' You asked.

'Don't tell me you didn't see that! He freaking winked at you! What an-'

'Calm down Draco. I'm sure it was nothing.' Ginny spoke.

'Besides, you know that I would never flirt with another guy. Why would I? I have my mister perfect.' You smiled before kissing his cheek.

Draco couldn't help but smile.

'This is like a double date with three couples.' Ginny grinned.

'A triple date?' Hermione asked.

You grinned. Triple date. The boy came back.

'Here you guys go, six butterbeer.' He smiled.

He slowly gave everyone a glass. When he gave you one he leaned close and placed it on the table. He passed you a smile before walking away. Draco hit the table with his fist and wanted to get up. You pulled him down and smashed your lips together. He pulled back.

'Calm down. You're way to jealous.' You sighed.

'That he thinks that he can flirt with you just because he's older! He's a freaking-'

Hermione couldn't help but laugh. Draco looked at her.

'What?' He asked.

'You're reaction is priceless.' She laughed.

'Yeah, you're overreacting.' Harry grinned.

'Overreacting? He needs to stay away from my girlfriend.'

You took a sip from your butterbeer and smiled.

'Draco, it's really sweet but you know that nothing will happen.'

Draco took a sip from his drink and didn't answer.

'Are you okay Ron?' Hermione asked.

Ron just nodded and drank some butterbeer. Draco grabbed something from the pocket of his coat.

'My parents answered me. Here... you can read it.' He smiled.

You opened the letter:

Dear Draco,

Good to hear that everything is going well! Here at home things have been a lot better. You're father has been talking a bit and he's slowly opening up. We didn't have thay much fights anymore.

Y/N is celebrating Christmas alone? That's not something we want, is it? Of course you can bring her Draco! Seems like a lot of fun! She's always welcome!

See you soon,

Your mother

'Wauw, thank you Draco.' You smiled.

He kissed your forehead and smiled.

'What?' Ginny asked. 

'She was actually not going home because she doesn't have anywhere to go. My parents said that she's welcome at our place.' Draco explained.

'What are your Christmas plans?' You asked.

'The Weasley home.' They spoke in unison before you all laughed.

Ron immediatly stopped when he noticed he was laughing.

'Laurie is also coming. George seems to be really into her.' Ginny spoke. 

'Laurie is great. She was one of the first, and only, students to accept me around Hogwarts.'

'George can't stop talking about her at home. At least, when he isn't in bed.' Ron mumbled. 

You finished your drink and put down the cup. Draco grinned and wiped some cream from your upper lip. He licked it of his finger.

'Hermione... you also have some...'

Hermione eyes widened and she wiped it away with her hand. You grinned and Draco took another sip from his drink.

'You two are fast drinkers.' Harry smiled. 

'I love butterbeer.' You grinned.

'Same.' Hermione agreed.

The boys and Ginny slowly finished their drinks. You wiped passed Dracos lips with your thumb and kissed him when he was done.

'Shall we go back?' Harry asked.

'Sure.' Draco smiled.

Everyone got up and the boy came back to pick up your cups. Everyone walked away and you walked at the back.

'Hi, can I asked you something?'

You turned around.

'Me?' You asked.

He smiled.

'Yes, you.' He stepped closer.

You stepped back a bit against a table.

'What's your name?' He asked.

'Why do you want to know my name?' You asked nervously.

'Just curious.' He smiled.

'Y/N.' You spoke.

'Y/N... beautiful name. Suits a beautiful girl.' He spoke while stroking a piece of hair behind your ear.

Draco walked towards him and tapped his shoulder. He sighed and turned around.

'What?' He asked.

'I'm giving you one chance to step away from my girlfriend.' He hissed.

The boy looked at you.

'No way that you're dating that.' He grinned at you.

'Step away. I'm not asking again.' Draco sighed.

'Dude, I'm bigger then you are, I'm more handsome then you are... what were you planning on doing?' He asked.

Draco balled his fist and hit him right in his stomach. The boy yelped in pain and fell on his knees onto the floor. He grabbed his stomach. You looked at Draco who grabbed your wrist. He took you with him.

'That was amazing Draco.' You laughed. 

'What can I say... no one touches my girl.' He smiled.
