"That suits you, love." Joenel smiled proudly and he smiled when he saw Alexandra enter the hairdressing salon. "Alexandra! Is your girlfriend getting her hair done again?" Alexandra took off the cap on her head, and Joenel grinned at her, already knowing what she wanted to do.
Marlene and Lily were on their way to the Great Hall when Sirius, Remus and Peter flew past them on their brooms like bodyguards, just like they had done when Lily and Alexandra started their fake relationship. Except now, the relationship was real and seeing the three who became friends to Lily made her smile.
"Hello. Good morning." Sirius said brightly as they stopped in front of the two girls. Then, the three Marauders grinned when they saw someone behind them. "Here she comes." Though a bit confused, Lily turned around and saw someone flying towards her on a broom.
There was Alexandra Malfoy with her usually messy hair, now combed neatly and cut a few inches, making her look less like a gangster. Lily's heart did somersaults at the sight of Alexandra Malfoy. She looked just as attractive as the first time Lily saw her except now, she looked happier, and it warmed Lily's heart to know she was the reason for that happiness. Lily smiled widely when Alexandra got off her broom and held Lily's hand, their bracelets clinking as they hit each other.
"Now, we look good together." Alexandra grinned at Lily, giddiness settling in her for she and Lily were now really together.
"She's back!" Remus exclaimed happily while Alexandra smiled at the three Marauders, eternally grateful that they stayed with her no matter what happened. Lily chuckled at the interaction between the four friends and smiled at Marlene who looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm happy for you." Marlene mouthed to her with a small smile. She knew it wasn't an easy road for them, but she was happier to see her friend happy and in love. Lily was blooming, and that was all Marlene needed to be reassured.
"Thank you." Lily mouthed back with a smile.
"Come on. Look here." Peter suddenly called out, holding a camera. Alexandra hugged Lily from behind, and the two of them smiled widely for the picture, having several poses and the last picture having Alexandra kiss Lily on the cheek, the joy of their relationship preserved in those pictures.

"My whole life, I've never seen my mother this happy." Harry muttered to Draco while looking at the picture. Harry and Draco moved to the back of the car for privacy and also because the couple inside were disgustingly sweet for them. "I guess that's how people look like when they are in love."
Draco took the picture and looked at it closely before glancing up at Harry. He grinned and started patting down Harry's messy hair. "Stay still." When he patted it down a bit, he put the picture near Harry's face and grinned. "You really have your mother's eyes."
"Do I look like her?" Harry chuckled in amusement.
"Something's missing." Draco frowned. He stretched the corner of Harry's lips making him smile. "Now you do look like her."
"Really?" Harry asked with a small smile.
"You're handsome when you smile." Draco gushed, making Harry blush. "You should never hide that beautiful smile." He took out the camera from his bag and held it up. "Come on. Smile!" The two boys posed for several pictures, and the smile on Harry's face became genuine as he looked at Draco.
Draco put down his camera and took out his own Walkman. "Did you know my aunt and your mother were good dancers?" He stood up and pulled Harry with him, putting in the ear buds of the Walkman in each of their ear.
"Your aunt? The Alexandra Malfoy?" Harry scoffed and shook his head. "No way."
"Oh, she was lovely." Draco grinned and started dancing as he remembered the story his aunt once told him.
Alexandra and Lily were in the middle of the dance floor. They were celebrating Gryffindor's win of the Quidditch Cup in the Common Room, and while Lily was dancing hesitantly, Alexandra was doing so energetically. Lily followed Alexandra's moves and laughed at how goofy Alexandra looked while dancing. Well, seeing Alexandra happy made her happy too.
"Go! Loosen up! Dance your heart out, like your mum!" Draco danced along with Harry as they stood in the middle of the pick up truck, the wind blowing through their hair. They may have looked weird to the other people around them, but they were lost in their dancing. They were just like Lily and Alexandra in that moment. Harry stopped dancing and stared at Draco with a small smile, a sudden skip in his heartbeat.
While dancing, Lily discreetly held a hand to the cut Lucius Malfoy made on her stomach when Alexandra took her hands and spun her around. It started hurting all of a sudden. Alexandra stopped dancing as well when she saw that Lily had stopped dancing and she was looking at her with a gaze Alexandra couldn't understand.
Lily suddenly hugged Alexandra, making Alexandra freeze for a moment before instinctively hugging Lily back. "I love you." Lily whispered softly.
A soft smile came onto Alexandra's face, her heart feeling full and happy, before she whispered back. "I'm complete."
Lily pulled away with a look of confusion. "I said, I love you."
"When I say, I'm complete, it means I love you too." Alexandra smiled softly, cupping Lily's face. Lily grinned and closed her eyes when Alexandra leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips. It wasn't that passionate or deep kiss. It was just a peck, but it made them feel so much more. It was full of love and gentleness just like the love they had for each other. And they were complete. They completed each other.
Harry and Draco stared at each other, too lost in each other to notice how the car stopped. The two of them were holding each other's hands. Harry got lost in Draco's stormy grey eyes that were unexpectedly warm while Draco got lost in Harry's emerald green eyes that held a certain intensity and also gentleness in them.
"I thought you two weren't dating." Blair said cheekily, peeking from the window. Harry and Draco blushed and let go of each other, realizing now their proximity.
"Shut up and drive again." Hermione glared at Blair and pulled her back into the car. "You ruined the moment." Blair pouted and pointed to her cheek.
Hermione rolled her eyes before leaning in and placing a kiss on Blair's cheek. "Now, drive, Wood."
"That I will, Granger." Blair smirked at her and started driving. Hermione just chuckled and held Blair's free hand.
In the back of the car, Draco and Harry blushed and sat down, avoiding each other's eyes as they remembered the moments they shared a while ago.
"Why haven't I seen you in Hogwarts?" Harry suddenly asked.
"That's because I don't study at Hogwarts. It's my first time riding the train." Draco explained with a small smile. "I used to live in America with my aunt. She and my father didn't really get along because my father thinks that purebloods are better than half-bloods and Muggleborns."
"Really?"
"Yeah, and so, my aunt took me in and raised me even if she was weak. I studied at Ilvermorny. I was a Thunderbird, but I lived with my aunt. I owe her everything." Draco smiled softly at the thought of his aunt, knowing he would have been a git if she didn't raise him. And Harry smiled just as soft as he stared at Draco. Draco really loved his aunt, and it made Harry feel really guilty at how he treated Lily. But after hearing the story, he knew he was going to be better. This time, he was going to change and treat his mother right.
