Cheater //Draco//

I giggled as I ran through the gardens of Malfoy Manner.

It was the weekend of Valentine's day, and Draco Malfoy, my boyfriend, had invited me over for the day. It was really sweet, actually, he had set up a whole picnic and everything.

We had spent the afternoon cuddling on the lawn - at least until Draco had started tickling me.

I am very, very ticklish.

It had taken a lot of laughing, squealing, and rolling around on the grass before I could escape. But I wasn't free yet.

I turned and sprinted around a bush, shouting back over my shoulder, "You'll never catch me, Draco!" when I heard a loud crack and my boyfriend appeared right in front of me just in time for me to run full speed into his arms.

"Hey," I gasped, "That was cheating! Apparating doesn't count!"

"Why not?" asked Draco, who had wrapped his arms around me so I couldn't escape and pretend to be mad at him, "I'm old enough to apparate."

"But I'm not!" I protested.

"Come on," Draco laughed, "I could have caught up with you in a heartbeat. Your short legs aren't very fast, anyways. And before you get mad at me, I love your short legs. I love everything about you, darling."

I rolled my eyes, tried to hide my smile, and opened my mouth to speak again, but Draco silenced me with a quick kiss.

"I'd love to stand here and argue with you," he said with a wink, "But there's mugs of butterbeer and freshly baked cookies inside waiting for us. So I think we have to go."

And with that, Draco scooped me up and carried me inside.
