Love Changes (Dramione)

[twenty nine]

"It's our last day together."

Draco was sulking on the bed as he watched Hermione pack the last of her things into her trunk. He had finished all his packing the day before and was currently sulking that Hermione chose to spend their last day together shoving clothes into her bags.

Hermione let out a small laugh "I'll see you over the break. You promised to go to the Weasley's Christmas eve dinner, remember?"

"That's not the same." Draco huffed "After that, the next time I'll see you is on New Year's."

"Which is a mere week away from Christmas." Hermione pressed a tender kiss on the knot on his forehead "I'll miss you too."

"You'll write to me?" Draco asked hopefully

Hermione laughed and wrapped her arms around him, maybe packing can wait until later "Everyday, if you want."

"If you so as much as miss a single day, Granger—" Draco threatened

"You'll have my head, I know." Hermione giggled "Come on, maybe we can sneak a date on this last day."

"A date?" Draco perked up, he was liking the idea more and more by the second

"Yes, come on. Grab a coat." Hermione said as she got hers from the chair

Draco grinned as he did what he was told "Where are we going, Granger?"

"Just around the castle grounds." Hermione shrugged. They left their room to see their friends having snacks in the common room "We're just going for a romantic stroll."

"A romantic stroll?" Draco echoed, his lips curving into a smirk "This should be a first."

"You mean you've never gone for a walk with someone you fancied?" Hermione shook her head

"A walk to the bed, sure." Blaise snickered from his seat on the couch

"Are you part of this conversation, Zabini?" Draco glared

"I am now." He shrugged innocently

"You mean you have?" Draco narrowed his eyes at Hermione, suddenly jealous "With whom?"

"With me, idiot." Ron interjected as he fixed himself a sandwich

"Was I speaking to you, Weasley?" Draco groaned and grabbed Hermione's hand, leading her out "Come on, Granger, before anybody else decides to interrupt our conversation."

Hermione giggled "Slow down, Malfoy."

As soon as they left the common room, Draco grinned at Hermione "As annoying as that was, I'll actually miss bickering with them."

Hermione laughed and took Draco's hand, intertwining her fingers with his "Don't let them hear you say that."

"Never." Draco chuckled

They made their way down the stairs and out of the castle, casually walking together. The snow was thick on the ground and the winter air made Hermione's nose red "Didn't realize it would be this cold, huh?" Draco teased after noticing "Come here." He pulled her closer to his body, wrapping an arm around her as they walked

"Where should we go?" Hermione asked just as they got past the courtyard

"Anywhere our feet will take us." Draco shrugged

They continue to walk, finding themselves on the route to the Quidditch pitch. "Harry's proposing to Ginny on Christmas." Hermione said quietly "I helped him pick out a ring the other day."
