Draco's POV:

I groggily wake up, rubbing my eyes, feeling the weight of a hand on my waist. "You're finally up?" Potter's voice reaches my ears, and I turn to see him lying next to me. "When did we fall asleep?" I inquire, sitting up and trying to piece together the events of the previous night.

"I don't remember," he confesses, a mischievous smirk forming on his lips. "All I remember is us making out." My face instantly flushes with a mix of embarrassment and excitement. "Really, Potter?" I mutter, trying to regain my composure.

He chuckles and I remove the blanket, swinging my legs off the bed. "Get up, Potter. We have school," I announce, stretching my arms above my head. I head towards my closet, opening it to retrieve my uniform. As I'm tying my tie, I catch a glimpse of Harry still lounging on the bed.

"What are you doing?" I question, genuinely perplexed by his behavior. "Just admiring the view," he replies, flashing a cheeky grin. My face reddens again, and I sigh in exasperation. "Potter!" I exclaim, feeling a mixture of annoyance and flattery.

He continues to laugh, and I decide to leave the room. "Wait, come back," he calls after me, his laughter echoing in the room. Rolling my eyes, I retrace my steps and find him standing there, struggling to tie his tie. "Can the golden boy not tie a tie?" I tease, unable to contain my amusement.

"Shut up, Malfoy," he retorts, still attempting to master the art of tie-tying. I step closer and offer my assistance, my nimble fingers quickly working to fix his tie. "Why did you come back?" he asks, his green eyes meeting mine.

"I still don't know my way around this ridiculously huge Gryffindor dormitory," I admit, a hint of frustration in my voice. He snorts in response, clearly finding my struggles amusing. "Shut up, Potter," I retort, finally finishing the tie. He pulls me closer, planting a quick kiss on my lips before speaking.

"I'll have to give you a tour, then," he suggests, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "And maybe we can make out along the way." Heat rushes to my face once more, making me feel both flustered and exhilarated. "Alright, let's get going then," he said, a chuckle escaping his lips I agree, following him as we make our way to our first class positions.
