She's right in front of him.
Draco finds it impossible to avert his eyes, captivated by the radiance of her smile and the enchanting sound of her laughter. It stands out starkly against the world he is accustomed to, yet he can't resist the emotion...

8th Year
On Christmas morning, the grandeur of the Malfoy Manor was adorned with enchanting decorations, and the festive air resonated with joy. Draco, Y/N, and their friends gathered by the roaring fireplace in the elegantly decorated living room. Narcissa, with a warm smile, joined the group, adding to the festive ambiance.
The room was adorned with twinkling lights, shimmering tinsel, and the scent of magical evergreen. The anticipation for the Secret Santa exchange heightened, and each member of the group clutched a carefully wrapped gift, eager to unveil the surprises that awaited.
Narcissa, with an air of grace, addressed the group. "Merry Christmas, everyone. May this day be filled with joy, laughter, and the magic of shared moments."
The group exchanged warm wishes, and Draco, with a twinkle in his eye, added, "Let the gift exchange begin!"
One by one, each person presented their carefully chosen gifts. The room echoed with laughter and exclamations of delight as the surprises were unveiled. Theodore, true to his mischievous nature, couldn't contain his glee as he presented his gift to Blaise, who opened it with a mixture of curiosity and amusement.
Blaise, unwrapping the gift, discovered a whimsical collection of joke items and magical pranks. Theodore beamed with satisfaction, and the room erupted into laughter at Blaise's reaction.
Y/N, with a mix of excitement and nervousness, presented Draco with the elegantly wrapped box containing the silver ring with intertwining snakes. As Draco opened the gift, a hush fell over the room. The symbolism of the ring wasn't lost on Draco, and his eyes sparkled with appreciation.
"Y/N, this is... incredible. Thank you," Draco said, his voice filled with genuine gratitude.
As the laughter and joy continued to fill the room, Draco, still holding the intricately designed ring that Y/N had gifted him, couldn't resist teasing her. With a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, he turned toward Y/N.
"Well, well, Y/N," Draco said with a playful smirk, "is there something you're not telling me? A ring as a Christmas gift? Are you trying to propose?"
The room fell into a momentary hush as everyone turned their attention to Draco and Y/N. Y/N, feeling a delightful mix of embarrassment and amusement, blushed at Draco's teasing remark.
"Draco Malfoy, don't be ridiculous!" Y/N replied, her cheeks tinged with pink. "It's just a gift, not a proposal."
Draco continued his playful banter, raising an eyebrow. "Hmm, just a gift, you say? A ring as 'just a gift'? You're setting some high standards here, Y/N."
The friends around them couldn't help but chuckle at the exchange. Pansy chimed in, "Well, if this isn't a proposal, it's certainly a declaration of affection. Draco, you're one lucky wizard."
