Black And Green

"You look very good" Ginny said to me at our dorm room.

"Thanks, you too" I said looking at her. She was wearing a lilac dress, with her hair straight.

"Have fun" I murmured while passing her and going to find Mary at her dorm.

I placed my hands on my dress trying to straighten it out nervous. This was the first time that me and Draco will show up in public as something more than what we are and I don't know if that is going to change anything between us.

The door opened and Mary stood outside, but what she was wearing made me lose my breath.

"H-hi" she whispered trembling and I smiled at her.

"You are amazing" I said and ran to her hugging her tight.

She was wearing a suit, a wonderful black suit with a blue tight and her hair were their natural wavy.

"It looks great on you" I said pulling back and placing my hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you, and you look amazing with this dress" she said and I smiled.

"Thanks, let's go" I said and we started walking at the Great Hall.

The room was full with students and the party had already began.

"There is Julia" she said pointing at the gold brown hair girl.

"Go, I will be fine. Draco is coming" I said and she smiled at me tapping my hand before she left. She turned around and winked at me, when Julia wasn't looking making me laugh.

"I hope you are not laughing because of me" I heard his voice and I turned around to look at him.

When I met his eyes, I felt a shivering in my spine going up to my head. The way this black expensive suit he was wearing was wonderful on him, the way his hair had a middle part, was making him perfect. His grey eyes were shining under the light and he grabbed my hand.

"Are you okay?" he asked and I nodded.

"Yes, fine" I said with raucous voice. He smirked noticing and I blushed looking at my shoes.

"You look amazing, darling" he placed his hand on my cheek and I closed my eyes for a moment, enjoying his touch.

"I tried to mix the colours" I said and he looked at my body licking his lips.

"Black and Green" he whispered and placed his hands on my shoulders that were showing caressing them slowly.

He leaned closer to me and his face was next to my ear, I was feeling his hot breath hitting my neck, "Sadly it's very short".

"Draco..." I warned him and tended a little to the back.

"I didn't say I don't like it, I will just kick anyone's ass if they look at you like I do" he said and I snorted smiling.

"And how do you look at me exactly?" I asked challenging him, putting my hand on his chest drawing invisible circles.

"You are mine and that is how I will treat you" he said and my heart started beating faster.

"I am yours, but are you mine?" I asked raising my eyebrow.

"Yes, darling. I am" he said and my stomach fluttered, especially when he leaned closer and kissed me on the lips.

"So now, it's official?" I asked when I pulled back and he rolled his eyes.

"I don't like labels, but yes we are. But let's not call us couple or something like that. It sounds weird" he said and I nodded.

"I believe the same thing, especially when they say this is my girlfriend or boyfriend, so cliché" I said with accent and he laughed.

"So cliché" he repeated after me and we started walking to the big table that had drinks on it.

While we were walking I noticed that everyone was staring at us but then I realized that all eyes were on Draco and especially at his arm.

He looked at me smiling, comforting me and I could see on his smile that he knew what was going on. He was smart enough to realize that there were rumours about him, about what happened last summer.

"Here you go" he said and gave me a cup of punch.

"Thank you" I smiled and drank a little.

[...]

"No way" we said surprised at the same time when the band started playing another song.

"Come on, let's go" he took my hand and we went at the stage.

"You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in the holy Church" I heard him singing like a whisper the lyrics in my ear.

"Everyone is staring at us" I said and my eyes were wandering around. He pulled my chin up to look only at him.

"Let them stare" he said and I sighed licking my lips.

"If I ever lose my faith in you there will be nothing left for me to do", while I was singing his eyes were flickering and his hand pulled me by my waist closer.

Behind Draco's shoulder I saw Mary dancing with Julia and when she noticed me she made me a thumbs up behind Julia's back. I made her the same signal showing Draco and she smiled before leaning towards Julia to kiss her.

"Draco, look!" I whispered and twisted his shoulders.

"Well done, Mary. I guess I own her that 3 galleons" he said laughing and I looked at him confused.

"We had a bet you see" he said and I snorted, starting dancing again with him.

"What bet?" I asked and he smirked.

"I can't tell you everything" he said teasing me and I rolled my eyes.

I was playing it mad and I just said, "Fine".

"Can we start the Vanishing Cabinet after the holidays?" I asked and I felt his hands around my waist holding me stronger than before.

"Yes, okay" he said after a few moments, "But I will tell them that we have already started", he whispered and I nodded.

"Em I-", he said and when I looked at him he cut off his sentence.

"I can't imagine you being a Death Eater and... suffering" he continued with his face looking at the ceiling, and I placed my hands on his cheeks to pull him down.

"I can't let you die" I said and he exhaled.

"We will find another way, I don't think he is going to kill me, my whole family is always loyal and-"

"Shh Draco" I said calming him down.

"I am not risking it, okay? I am not" I said and his eyes were looking sad.

"Besides, the good ones don't want me with them", I paused to look at Harry and Ginny who were dancing a little further, "So I will join the bad side".

"What about your dad? Now that you are okay between you two?" he asked and I took a deep breath.

"If he hadn't forbid the others to tell me about Dumbledore's Army, things could have been way different now. I will just pretend that we are okay and it didn't bother me" I explained and he kissed my forehead.

"Everything happens for a reason" I smirked and he nodded.

"The reason from all of what happened it's this" he said showing with his finger between us.

"It's us"
