Prettiest Girl

•.*\〖 ϟ 〗/*.•

You met Draco when you first arrived to Hogwarts, and you both liked each other from the start. He had this cute smile that he directed at you, and you shook his outstretched hand.

You quickly became friends, and he was elated when you joined him in the Slytherin house after the Sorting Hat had called out the name of it before even coming within a few inches of your head, similar to how it was for Draco.

You had immediately sat next to him and talked to him. You greeted and got to know some of the other boys there, who were also in your year, like a boy named Mattheo Riddle, his older brother, Tom, and Theodore Nott. You also met a girl named Pansy Parkinson, and you got on well with her.

You were in the Slytherin common room with Draco a few nights later, sat on the couch.

"I see the prettiest girl I've ever seen in my life," he said.

"Where?" you asked cluelessly.

"To your left, but don't look too fast," he smiled. "Bet she's pretty tired of people staring at her all the time."

You looked a little to the left, but saw no one.

"Little more."

You turned a little more. Still, no one.

"Little more!"

You turned more, and you saw your reflection in the mirror on the wall. You looked at Draco, who smiled at you.

"I'm the prettiest girl you've ever seen..?" you asked, surprised and a little nervous.

He nodded proudly.

You smiled widely at him. "And you're the prettiest boy I've ever seen!"

His smile dropped into a look of surprise, and it was his turn to get nervous. His face slowly began to turn the slightest shade of pink.

You giggled at him, and he smiled.

That was the start of something long-lasting and beautiful.

From then on, Draco continued to call you pretty and beautiful and gorgeous over the years. Any word under the stars that he learned had the same meaning as the common word "beautiful", he used profusely.

Even if you two were together in the class or in the library and he found a new word that meant "beautiful", he would tell you that you were just that right then and there.

He was protective of you, fending off any other guys that tried to pick on you or make a move.

You were the only girl that had all of his attention, and it made you feel like the only girl in the world.

Pansy would tease you about it over time, as well, and you became close friends with the other Slytherin boys.

Out of all of them, however, Draco was the closest of them all.

He actually asked you to be his girlfriend in fifth year, and you wasted no time in saying "yes".

In sixth year, you were sat in the Slytherin common room on the sofa with Draco after everyone else had gone to sleep.

Draco caught sight of the mirror that had been hanging there forever, and smiled, looking at the side of your face as you read your book.

"I see the prettiest girl I've ever seen in my life," he muttered.

You looked up at him, and it took you a moment, but you smiled at the memory he was bringing up. It was from five years ago, but neither of you had forgotten it at all. It was still vivid as the day it happened.

"Where?" you asked, playing into it.

"To your left, but look slowly," he said. "She's probably sick of people always staring at her."

You smiled and looked a little to the left.

"Little more."

You looked more to the left, your smile visible to him by the way your cheeks were lifted on your face. He smiled at the sight.

"Little more!"

You looked further, seeing your reflection in that same mirror again, only five years later. You turned to him, a look of mocking surprise on your face.

"I'm the prettiest girl you've ever seen?"

He nodded, the fond smile widening on his face.

"Well, Dray," you grinned, leaning into his side with your head on his shoulder, "you're the prettiest boy I've ever seen."

He looked down at you, his heart pounding and his cheeks aching from the smile that never left his face.

"I am?" he asked quietly, his face leaning closer to yours.

"You are," you whispered, smiling as you glanced down at his lips.

He let out an amused breath before he kissed you.

"I love you," he muttered before kissing you again.

"I love you, too."
