There's glitter on the floor after the party.

Last night Draco had his annual New Year's party at the Malfoy Manor. We don't invite many people, but we tell everyone who we do personally invite that they can also invite whoever they want, so word of the party ends up getting around fast. It seems like all of Hogwarts ends up celebrating the New Year at the Malfoy Manor. His parents had been there before during one of the parties and after that every year have opted to get a hotel for the night. They tell him they are fine with him having a party with one condition: The Manor has to be clean by the time they get back on January 2nd. With the help of the house elf this is never a hard condition to meet. I woke up at about 2 PM and being the first one up out of everyone who gets to stay the night after the party I go downstairs to find the place spotless. Probably even cleaner than before the party. We normally kick everyone out of the house at 4 AM as at that point the night is basically over. However, Draco's close friends always stay the night and are hungover together the next morning.

I begin my journey to the kitchen my head pounding and realize the house elf must have forgotten to clean it because the place is a disaster. There is glitter spilled on the floor most likely because of Pansy and Daphne doing their annual "glitter makeup". I leave to go get a trash can when I run into someone. The boy who I spent my New Year's Eve with, already carrying a huge black trash bag.

"Morning", he chuckles planting a kiss on my forehead making my heart start beating at a rapid pace. I glance over at one of the mirrors that is in the hallway and take a look at myself. I have dark circles under my eyes and my hair looks like it hasn't been brushed in ten days.

"Holy shit", I mumble using the hair tie on my wrist to put my hair back in a braid.

I want your midnights, but I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day.

"I don't look nearly as bad as you", Mattheo says from the kitchen making me glare at him and start cleaning up the bottles and red solo cups.

"I'm only joking, I couldn't find the house elf so for right now looks like we'll have to do this room ourselves", he says.

Last night was my favorite New Year's Eve ever. Mattheo and I were together the whole night taking polaroids and lighting candles. As the clock was about to strike Midnight, Enzo and Theo ran out to set off their annual fireworks display. As the countdown to Midnight started Mattheo pulled me close to him and as the clock finally struck Midnight and the fireworks started to go off he pulled me into my first kiss of the New Year. Enzo and Theo ran back toward the manor and started gagging at the sight of Mattheo and me which made me smile and pull away.

"Perfect timing this year boys", I grinned giving them a thumbs up with Mattheo's arms still around my waist.

"Yeah yeah we will leave you two to it", Enzo grumbles grabbing Theo's arm and dragging him back inside.

"Look what I found", Mattheo says making me jump back out of the memories from the night before. He shows me a Polaroid picture of him and I kissing.

"Someone must've captured our kiss" he smiles looking down at me

"Someone must've captured our kiss" he smiles looking down at me.

It takes everything in me not to get all giddy and excited, so instead I smile back at him taking the Polaroid back to my room.

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.

"I was never going to forget that moment, but now I can hold on to it forever", I say making my way back to the kitchen to continue cleaning. However, when I walked in the kitchen was completely spotless just like the rest of the manor. I turn around to see Mattheo leaning against the doorframe that connects the kitchen and the dining room with a huge smile on his face. I smile back at him and walk over to where he's standing, he pulls me closer to him again and right before our lips connected we were interrupted again.

"Okay we do not need a part two of what happened last night", I turn around to see Theo covering his eyes making me laugh. I pull away from Mattheo and run upstairs because if Theodore is up that means Pansy must be too.

"Pansy, oh my gosh I have so much to tell you!", I say bursting into one of the guest rooms that Theodore and Pansy were staying in. I look around to find the bed was empty.

"In here!", I hear Pansy call out from the bathroom.

I rush into the bathroom ready to continue my story to find Pansy sitting by the toilet clutching her stomach. It takes a lot for me not to laugh at her, but instead I sit down next to her and tell her everything that happened with Mattheo and I last night.

"Theo told me you guys kissed and what did I tell you? I think this is the time for me to say I told you so. I knew he fucking liked you and you wouldn't believe me.", she said before sticking her head back into the toilet to throw up again.

"I know, I'm sorry for not believing you", I say leaning my head against the bathroom wall, "well I guess I'll leave you to it", I say standing up and leaving. Pansy gives me a thumbs up with her head still in the toilet.

I slide down the banister of the staircase to get back downstairs and I find that everyone is now up.

"Where is Pansy?", Theodore asks me as I sit down inbetween Mattheo and Draco at the dining room table.

"Puking up her insides", I say cringing.

"I'm going to go check on her", he says standing up and going back upstairs.

"Well as tradition goes we have to watch one of those stupid muggle movies", Draco grumbles.

Although none of our parents knew about this tradition we started it on the very first New Year's Day we spent together. One of my muggle friends suggested it to me and said her family does it every New Year's Day.

"It's a good thing you mentioned it Draco because I almost forgot", I say smirking and running upstairs to get the projector from it's hiding place. Draco hides the projecter in one of the guest bedrooms across the house from his parents room as they don't go in there too often. It doesn't need any power because it is enchanted, so all you need is a muggle CD. My friend Luna Lovegood lets me borrow her collection of movies every New Years, so we are always prepared.

I ran into the guest bedroom to grab the projector and the movies and ran back downstairs as quick as I could. I walk into the living room to see Draco and Daphne cuddled up with each other in a small little armchair. Pansy and Theo are doing the same thing in the chair next to them. Enzo and Blaise sit nex to each other on the love seat talking about Quidditch. Then there is Mattheo who has seemed to have claimed the whole couch to himself as he is stretched out and his feet are dangling off the end of the armchair. He smirks when he sees me and sits up and gives me room to sit down next to him.

"Okay", I say rubbing my hands together, "We have lots to choose from this year"

"What about this one?", Daphne says picking up "My Girl".

"Good enough for me", Blaise shrugs.

I smile, "okay this is the one", I insert the CD into the slot and start the projector which projects the picture right over the fireplace.

Draco orders the house elf to shut all the curtains and shut off all the lights and the movie starts. Mattheo picks me up and puts me on top of him. With my head lying on his chest I watched the movie and began to think this New Year could bring many new things.
