- Alliana's POV -

Hufflepuff is growing on me. I used to think - along with most - that it was the weak link. As if everyone there wasn't fit for the other houses. The thing is, that's not necessarily true. That could be for anyone. You could be placed in Gryffindor for not fitting the others. Or Ravenclaw. Or Slytherin. It could work for any house. About the wink link part....well, that is wrong too. Hufflepuff is not anywhere near the weak link. In fact, now that I have actually been in the house and played attention to them I realized they are so much more than that. In some ways they are the strongest. Take the other houses for instance. All they every care about is their own house pride. They are always claiming theirs is the best. Well, to them it may be. Hufflepuff on the other hand is humble. They smile and help you try to prove it. Granted their are those badgers that are a bit out there. Majority though are selfless, kind, loyal, hardworking, and overall amazing.

When I first found out I was in Hufflepuff, Draco and I were upset. All his life he was a Slytherin at heart and now he is in the house considered weakest both stereotypically and by most. However, it didn't take long for him to accept them and actually make some friends. You can barley recognize him anymore. For me while I am the oddball out for other house's, Hufflepuff treat me different. I am the girl known as the "Weak Slytherin" or "Salazar's Mistake.", some people have even gone far enough to claim I don't fit in any house. Luckily though, none of those people are actually in Hufflepuff. They claim to be Hufflepuff's friends but then get stunned when a group of them defend Draco and I. It's truly quite remarkable.

Earlier, the Hufflepuff's were planning a party for everyone new to the house. Which surprisingly is quite a few. They were kind enough to put Draco and I, in charge of finding the location and getting permission. It feels nice knowing they trust us.

Walking, hand in hand, Draco and I talk about ideas of where to have it. "I was thinking....I know it may not work but could we use the Room of Requirement? You never know how it will turn out", I look at him to see his response and he just shrugs. Neither of us are awake enough to be doing this honestly. Last night we were up late at a meeting for the Order. However, we also want the other Hufflepuff's to trust us, so here we are.

"Let's go see.", he say and we walk up some flights of stairs, down some halls, and towards the room. When we are almost there, I decide the silence is enough and start humming a bit. Draco, looks at me weird but I just smile and keep going. Not even sure what the song exactly is, but it comforts me.

It doesn't take much longer for us to get there. He walks back and forth then together we go inside. What we see surprises us for sure. Instead of giving us exactly what we asked for it showed just a table and some chairs. I look at Draco's expression and instead of seeing the confused look I thought was there I see something else. Instead, he is smirking at me and waves his wand starting music. "May I have this dance?", he says with a bow.

Laughing, I curtsey and take his hand. "Of course kind sir!", then as if pulled by the music we dance away. The music moving us like never before. I giggle a bit and look into his eyes. He did this just for me?

Suddenly, Draco stops and I look at him confused. Only when I do instead of an upset look I am mesmerized by light blue eyes swirling with excitement, and they are staring right back. "Draco?", I whisper. As if confirming that it's him. He takes my hands and wraps them around his neck before stepping closer and wrapping his own arms around my waist.

Slowly, I lean up and him down. We go closer and closer until our noses are touching and our breaths fan our faces. I look at his lips then his eyes and with a burst of courage, close my eyes and close the gap kissing him on the lips for the first time.

Immediately and explosion between us happens. As if fireworks are being set of. We hug each other tighter and kiss more. As if every ounce of passion is needed for this moment. He moves his hands up and holds my head while I play with his hair. It is the most amazing and beautiful thing on Earth - kissing Draco.

Suddenly he dips me as if we are dancing, causing me to laugh into the kiss. We stand up and break away grinning ear to ear. "Yes, I think the Room of Requirement will do just fine.", he says. I agree by nodding and together we set off to the common room. Dazed from out experience and laughing from the happiness it caused.

Can you believe it? I just kissed Draco Malfoy. Another thing to add to my list of odd yet amazing things, since I became Alliana Gaunt. Old yet amazing. My new life motto.
