"I, Draco Lucius Malfoy, hereby generously offer this amazing and gorgeous hoodie to the most beautiful person I know in exchange for... a kiss," Draco declared with dramatic flair.

Harry laughed and kissed him before making himself comfortable in Draco's hoodie, Draco too shed the thick cloak he had been wearing, opting for a cozy sweater. With a flick of his wand, he cast warming charms throughout the room, dispelling the chill that had settled in.

"We should probably get some studying done. I have a few essays to write." Draco suggested.

Harry groaned playfully, realizing the pile of neglected homework that awaited him. "Oh my gods! I totally forgot about the homework. I haven't even looked at my book this week outside of classes."

"And why is that?" asked Draco, raising an eyebrow.

"I might have been a bit distracted lately," he admitted.

Draco raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "Really? I hadn't noticed," he teased.

Harry chuckled, and together, they gathered their books and settled into a cozy study session. The crackling fire, and the soft glow of the room created a quite nice atmosphere for studying and surprisingly Harry did not feel sleepy even though he was studying on the bed. Harry managed to finish 5 essays of his even after all of the laughter, sneaked kisses and whispered conversations, which was much more than what he would have been able to do had he studied with Hermione.

After about 4 hours of serious focus and productivity, Draco and Harry decided it was time for a well-deserved break. They gathered their books and study materials, neatly organizing them on their respective desks. With a collective stretch and yawn, they stepped away from the study material and embraced the quiet satisfaction of a productive study session.

The couple after some deep discussion decided that taking a power nap would be the best idea so they retreated to the bed, cuddling up with each other. The softness of the blankets made sure that they were asleep minutes after lying down. Draco and Harry closed their eyes and succumbed to a peaceful nap.

For the next hour and a half, the room echoed with the gentle sounds of their breathing and the gentle rise and fall of their chests.

As they woke from their brief slumber, Draco and Harry exchanged sleepy smiles. Glancing at the time, they discovered that the afternoon had slipped away, and it was almost 4:30 in the evening. Seeing that they had missed lunch, Draco and Harry settled for a quick snack – some tea and cakes before going back to study. This time, they managed to complete all of the pending assignments that were due the following week.

Feeling pleased, both Harry and Draco went down for dinner, the anxiety of unfinished work had finally evaporated from their shoulders. As they sat down, Draco next to Dahlia and Harry next to Dahlia, Pansy clicked her fingers in order to gain their attention.

Feeling accomplished, Draco and Harry went down for dinner, the burden of unfinished work lifted from their shoulders. As they took their seats, Draco next to Dahlia and Harry next to Pansy, the ambience in the Great Hall was abuzz with chatter. Pansy, ever the purveyor of gossip, snapped her fingers to gain their attention.

Starting with a playful smirk, Pansy inquired, "Where have you two been all day? Eating each other's faces out, I presume?"
