The Other Potter (Draco Malfoy Endgame)

A Day to Remember

Chapter 13

Alexis woke up Saturday morning watching Mattheo sleep. He was so serene as he slept, all the stress and worry lines gone from his perfect face. As she tried to memorize every inch of his face a smirk spread across his face, "It's not polite to stare, princess." Before she could process what he was doing, his arms snaked around her and he was hovering over her. His eyes were twinkling with mischief as he lowered his face to hers.

"I think I've changed my mind about today, I don't think I'm going to allow you to leave my room," he teased her as he trailed kisses from her knuckles up to her neck. He reveled in the shivers and gasps he was causing her. Just as his lips crashed into hers, pillows smashed into them, three of them. One right after another. Their heads snapped to the side to see the other three boys staring, "Come on guys it's Saturday we're trying to sleep." Enzo shook his head at them before dropping back on his remaining pillow.

Alex blushed laughing and looking back at Mattheo. Her laugh was infectious and he started to laugh too. He reached over handing her a pillow raising an eyebrow in silent question. She nodded as they shared a conspiratory grin before jumping up and running over and pummeling the other boys with their pillows. An all-out pillow war started as even Blaise joined in laughing. Theo dodged one of Alex's blows and grabbed her tossing her over his shoulder.

They all laughed as he stood up on a chair and made a speech about how kidnapping the princess was the only way to stop this war peacefully. He and Mattheo negotiated a cease-fire for the safe return of the princess. Mattheo kissed her as he lifted her from Theo's shoulder, celebrating her safe return. Alex gave Mattheo one last kiss as she left to get dressed for breakfast.

The moment she was gone Mattheo turned to his friends, "Okay so everyone knows the plan right? Theo, you're in charge of setting up the Astronomy Tower, blankets pillows, and candles. Enzo, you're in charge of the food, the house elves love you so anything sweet and a dinner that isn't too messy for eating on a pile of blankets. Blaise I need you to stand guard so no one hijacks or interrupts my date. Everyone good, no questions?" He looked around making sure no one had any questions. They all got dressed and headed down to meet Alex for breakfast.

Somehow Blaise had become a permanent fixture in their group as he spent less time with Draco and more and more time hanging out with them. He joined them for breakfast and Alexis could see Draco fuming as he stared at them laughing over their breakfast. She leaned just enough to make eye contact with him, she grinned and wiggled her fingers in a mischievous wave. They all laughed as Draco turned red and looked away fuming.

The group split up as Alexis went to get ready for her date, "Come on just one hint, anything?" She begged Mattheo doing her best to look pitiful. "The only thing you're getting from me is that you need to dress warm princess," he gave her a wink before heading up to his dorm. She grinned to herself thinking that if he was going to be a tease she could play that game too.

She twisted her hair up in elaborate braids and twists leaving some of it to cascade down around her shoulders. She used kohl and plum-colored powder to make her green eyes pop. Finishing off her lips with a deep blood-red lip stain. Once she was happy with her hair and makeup she slipped into a black velvet mini-dress with fur lining, black embroidered tights, and a pair of knee-high boots. She grabbed a red fur-lined cloak doing one last look at herself in the mirror before gliding down the stairs.

Mattheo and the boys sat waiting in the common room. He had put on his nicest black suit, a red button-down shirt, and a shiny black tie and he waited anxiously for Alex to reappear. He was so nervous about getting everything just right that his palms began to sweat. Enzo nudged him and he looked up speechless. In fact, they were all speechless as Alex made her way down the stairs. She was stunning from head to toe, he'd never seen anything more beautiful in his life.
