She stood up from the grass and came to him. He tried not to blush too hard. She was as gracious as during the ball, the waltz, the kiss. Her back was still straight. She still radiated confidence. Her smile was still beautiful.
'Is it really you?'
And her voice was still melodious.
'Y-Yes.'
His, on the other side, sounded shy and unsure. Where was his pure-blood self when he needed it?
She smiled, showing white, clean teeth. 'You weren't so shy last week.'
'I think it was the fire-whiskey last week.'
She laughed, and Draco felt his cheeks going warmer and his knees melting. Honestly, he would have listened to her all day long, no matter what would have she been saying. It was just her voice, her laugh, her look.
'Are you going to take your mask off?' she asked.
'What about you?'
'I will too. But first, I kind of want to know who did I kiss a week ago.'
It sounded fair and, not being sure why, Draco trusted her that she would reveal her identity. But he hesitated. What if she was... what was the word? Disappointed? Angry? Shocked? Disgusted? Every single girl in Hogwarts knew him as "the bad boy". Some even called him a heart-breaker, but he hadn't had a girlfriend before. He was a pure-blood Slytherin, it was kind of a stereotype: he was mean and couldn't love or respect a Gryffindor.
'I promise I will reveal myself.'
He still didn't replied, but he was pretty sure he blushed. She came closer and, even if their hands were barely touching, Draco felt her closer.
'Okay.' He smiled. 'I trust you.'
She approached even more and, involuntarily, Draco put his hands on her back, near the waist. The girl touched it and, biting her lower lip, took off his mask.
