(Ophelia's POV)      (Song: Only by Ry X)
"You know Phelia" Draco starts as we walk to the common room together

"After all of these months, I haven't even taken you on a single date," he says

"Probably because I've been busy competing in a life-threatening tournament for eternal glory" I chuckle

"Right, how about this..." he thinks

"In twenty minutes, meet me in the Astronomy Tower" he grins

"Alright" I smile

We both go out separate ways to our dorms. I quickly slam the door open then close it

"Pansy! Code Green!" I exclaim. She was sitting on her bed reading

"You mean he—" she asks, immediately closing her book

"He did" I panic

"YES!" Pansy cheers. There were no other girls in the dorm so she jumped on her bed and started dancing

"It took him bloody long enough!" she laughs

I quickly changed into a black and white plaid skirt and a black long sleeve shirt

It was two hours before curfew so the halls were starting to empty. I walk towards the Astronomy Tower.

And there it was, a blanket laid out, with mouth-watering food gently placed on top

"Snuck into the kitchen, made the house-elves help me" he suddenly says from behind me. I turn around and of course, he was wearing his notorious black suit. He takes my hand and leads me to the picnic, our rings make a slight clinking noise together

"This is probably so cheesy and stupid and—"

"Draco! I love it" I cut him off, smiling

"That's a relief" he mumbles

"Blaise helped me set it up" he adds

The sun had barely set, the stars slowly peeking out

"Oh I almost forgot!" he exclaims in a child-like manner, it's fun to see him act like this once everyone else isn't around

"Orchideous" he mumbles. He makes a single rose. But it was a white rose, with green tips

"Green! What a surprise" I laugh

We had already finished eating when the sun was fully gone, the stars shining the brightest

"You see that," he says pointing to a constellation in the sky

"That's the Draco constellation" he smirks

"So you're named after a constellation?" I ask

"Yeah, most of mother's family is" he explains as he leans back, now lying down

"It's kinda been a tradition" he sighs

"What would you name your children?" I ask, also lying down.

"I really like Scorpius" he chuckles

"For a boy, of course. And a girl...Lyra" he grins at me. But I don't look at him, I smile, still looking at the stars

"Have I ever mentioned how beautiful you are?" he suddenly says

"You have actually" I laugh finally looking at him

"Really? When?" he sits up

"First year. Pansy and I caught you and Blaise talking about how you thought I was pretty" I chuckle, rolling my eyes

"How embarrassing" he laughs plopping back down

"That's why before transfiguration Pansy asked you if you thought I was pretty" I recall

"Oh shit. I remember that" he mumbles looking up at the stars

"You turned so red!" I laugh

"You were as red as a tomato!" I add

"Well it's nice to know that my eleven-year-old self's embarrassment makes you laugh" he chuckles

"Well, blame Pansy" I chuckle

"We always have to blame Pansy" he grins

"That's just the perk of having her as your best friend" I chuckle

And for that moment it was just us, and I was certain this night will live in my mind for the rest of our lives.

All of my worries had washed away, no more thinking about the Tournament, or our friends, or our parents, or anyone else.

And I like it, a lot. Having no care in the world when I'm with him. I hope I can feel like this for the rest of our lives.

(A/N: this was a very different chapter. Also a VERY short one too. It was sorta a nice break from the Triwizard Tournament and almost dying...)
