"Fucking bitch!" Pansy screeched, making Asterin wince from the shrill of it, as she ran from the common room.

"Why is she shouting?" Blaise whispered in her ear when he appeared from the boys dorms.

"She's mad because I told her to fuck off when she tried to hint about my mark then I caught her hair on fire," she smirked.

"Can you not play nice for five fucking seconds?" A voice growled behind her and suddenly a hand was around her throat and forcing her to look up. She grinned at a smirking Draco.

"Where's the fun in that?" Draco rolled his eyes and leaned down to place a harsh kiss on her lips before releasing her altogether and walking around to sit beside her on the couch.

"Any news?" Blaise kicked his feet up on the table and stared into the fireplace.

"No. I don't know what's taking so fucking long. They've been gone for months," Draco murmured as he twirled his snake ring with his fingers.

"Isn't it a little dangerous discussing this in the common room?" Asterin rose an eyebrow. The boys simply shrugged before Theo came through the painting.

"Let me tell you fucking something." The three of them looked at each other before they realized he was glaring at his sister.

"What did I do now?!"

"You're not letting me copy off your Potions homework! Snape is going to skin me alive if I don't turn in another assignment!"

"Bloody hell, Theo," Asterin sighed and leaned forward to pull her homework free from her Potions book. "Here! You've been whining about it all fucking day."

Theo grinned and snatched her homework before sitting on the floor at the coffee table to copy her answers.

"Make sure a few are different so he doesn't know, idiot!" Blaise cackled as he wrote the exact same as her answers. Theo huffed and scratched some answers out, making it more believable that Theodore Nott was turning in his homework.

"It's Snape, he's going to know," Draco yawned and leaned back on the couch, his fingers lightly tracing along Asterin's back as she had yet to lean back.

"Do you think they'll be successful?" Asterin asked suddenly. The boys looked to her with a frown. "Or do you think we're wasting our time?"

Draco pulled her by her sweater to make her lean back against his chest. His nose buried in her ear and taking in her scent.

"They've got this, fleur. If anyone can defeat You-Know-Who, it's the Golden Trio," he breathed softly in her ear. He sounded so sure of himself, so confident in the trio, that Asterin relaxed in his hold and sighed softly at his fingertips tracing against her upper right arm. Her eyes slid shut before she could see the three Slytherin's eyes flicker in concern.

Draco's fingers lightly trailed along her strands, gently combing out tangles he left behind, and enjoying the feel of her naked body pressed against his.

The pair had just finished yet another round and were enjoying being in each other's company. Like a proper couple. It made Asterin's heart skip a beat. She suddenly grabbed his hand, halting his actions, to look at his snake ring. She twirled it around his finger like she's watched him do hundreds of times, enjoying the glint of the metal from the moonlight streaming through his window.

Asterin turned his palm and lightly trailed her fingertips along his palm before putting her own flat against his. His fingers were so long and his palm was slightly bigger than hers. Though Draco wasn't the most muscular male, he still made her feel petite.
