8th Year
In the Herbology greenhouse, Y/N and Draco found themselves side by side, exchanging glances that spoke volumes about the newfound connection between them. Professor Sprout, oblivious to the dynamics, began the class with enthusiasm.
Draco whispered, "I never thought I'd find Herbology more interesting because of you."
Y/N chuckled, "Well, I'm glad I can add a bit of excitement to your life." They shared a conspiratorial smile, their hands brushing subtly.
As the lesson progressed, Draco couldn't resist teasing, "Maybe we could make studying herbs a bit more... hands-on later?"
Y/N shot him a playful glare, trying not to let their laughter draw too much attention. "Draco, shush!"
His lips curled into a mischievous smile, "I'm just saying, some plants respond well to a little extra attention."
After Herbology, Draco and Y/N strolled through the castle corridors, enjoying a moment of privacy. Mattheo, Draco's observant friend, caught up with them, an intrigued expression on his face.
"Alright, spill it," Mattheo teased, nudging Draco. "What's going on with you two? There's some serious energy happening there."
Draco shared a secretive smile with Y/N, exchanging a glance that conveyed an unspoken decision. "Oh, just a little bit of magic in the air," Draco replied cryptically.
Mattheo raised an eyebrow, "Magic, huh? You two have been acting differently lately. What's the real story?"
Y/N chuckled, "Well, some things are better left unsaid for now."
Mattheo, though curious, respected their decision. "Alright, keep your secrets. Just know I'm onto you two."
As Mattheo walked away, Draco and Y/N shared a relieved yet amused look.
Draco's fingers gently traced circles on the back of Y/N's hand as they exchanged soft smiles. Y/N playfully nudged him, "You're in a good mood today, Draco."
He smirked, "Well, being with you tends to have that effect on me." His tone held a hint of mischief, and Y/N couldn't help but blush.
As they engaged in light banter, Draco's gaze lingered on Y/N's lips, a subtle heat in his eyes. "You know," he began, his voice dropping to a whisper, "we could find more interesting ways to spend our time."
Y/N's heart raced, feeling the magnetic pull between them. "Oh really? Care to elaborate?" they teased, their own eyes filled with a playful challenge.
Draco leaned in, his lips dangerously close to Y/N's ear. "Perhaps exploring some hidden corners of Hogwarts?" The words hung in the air, charged with a tantalizing energy.
Y/N couldn't resist the playful challenge in Draco's eyes, so with a mischievous smile, she leaned in as if going for a kiss. Draco's anticipation grew, but just as their lips were about to meet, Y/N swiftly changed direction and planted a series of teasing kisses on Draco's cheeks.
Surprised, Draco blinked, a mix of amusement and longing in his eyes. "You're playing dirty," he teased, his voice carrying a hint of laughter.
Y/N chuckled, giving Draco a sly look. "Just keeping you on your toes, Malfoy." With that, she darted away, her laughter echoing through the corridor, Draco hot on her heels.
The chase through Hogwarts continued, Y/N's laughter ringing through the corridors. Draco, amused yet determined, caught up with her and gently spun her around, their eyes locking in a playful yet intense gaze.
"You're a slippery one," Draco teased, his hands resting on Y/N's waist. The air seemed charged with a palpable tension, the playful banter concealing a deeper desire.
Y/N smirked, "Well, I do enjoy keeping you on your toes, Malfoy. Keeps things interesting."
Draco's fingers traced a teasing pattern on Y/N's lower back, sending a shiver down their spine. "Interesting is an understatement," he murmured, his tone laced with a seductive edge.
As they resumed their playful banter, the hidden corners of Hogwarts became witness to whispered words and stolen glances. Draco's gaze lingered on Y/N's lips, a magnetic pull growing stronger with every passing moment.
Draco, feeling the magnetic pull between them intensify, abruptly halted their banter. His eyes locked onto Y/N's, a depth of emotion surfacing beneath the playful facade. With a gentle yet firm touch, he cupped Y/N's face, his thumb brushing lightly over their cheek.
"I want our first kiss to be special," Draco confessed, his voice carrying a sincerity that echoed through the empty halls.
Y/N, caught off guard by the unexpected tenderness in Draco's gaze, felt a rush of warmth. "Special? In Hogwarts, surrounded by secrets and magic, isn't that special enough?"
Draco chuckled, his fingers tracing a delicate pattern on Y/N's cheek. "True, but I want it to be a moment we both remember. Something that we will never forget."
Their playful banter had evolved into a more intimate exchange, the air now charged with a different kind of tension – a mixture of desire and anticipation. Draco's restraint added an intriguing layer to their connection, making each stolen glance and lingering touch more electrifying.
Draco's gaze never wavered from Y/N's lips, and with a lingering promise, he whispered, "Soon, I promise. But let's make it unforgettable."
The unspoken promise hung in the air, adding a layer of intensity to the already charged atmosphere.
Draco, glancing around to ensure their privacy, leaned in and whispered, "I might not have kissed you yet, but that doesn't mean I can't steal a few more of these," as he planted a soft kiss on Y/N's cheek.
Y/N grinned, a delightful warmth spreading through them. "You're a master at keeping things interesting, Malfoy."
Deciding to momentarily set aside the escalating tension, Draco and Y/N shared a knowing smile. Breaking away from the intimate atmosphere, they headed towards the Hogwarts dining hall. The bustling noise and lively chatter of fellow students welcomed them as they entered.
