I stood for a little while admiring Draco, the lines and shadows of his face, his neck, his collar bones. Everything.

It wasn't like I could do much else.

I wonder if I'll be Harry Malfoy or he will be Draco Potter? I started to mumble the two names to see which sounded better,

"Draco Potter, no Harry Malfoy"

"Draco Potter" Draco grumbled as he turned and pulled the sheet over his shoulders.

"Oh sorry" I mumbled, not expecting to wake him.

"No worries" he sighed and opened his eyes, "I just didn't know we were planning our wedding just yet" he joked.

I walked over and sat on the bed, stroking his hair back to it's normal, perfect position.

"I'm not planning it, just testing it out" I replied.

"Mmm, well definitely Draco Potter, the Malfoy name can die out with me" he said rubbing his face.

"Really?" I asked shocked that he was so sure about it.

"Really" he reassured, "Just know that I'm not wearing a dress" he chuckled.

"Neither am I" I laughed back.

"Oh, a little ballroom number with a sweetheart neckline couldn't tempt you?" He asked bopping me on the nose.

"No, we can both wear suits" I announced.

"Well I'm wearing black" he said with a look that said, you can't dissuade me.

"You can't wear black to a wedding" I said playfully pushing him.

"Of course I can" he said as if I had just said the stupidest thing ever.

"It's a wedding, not a bloody funeral" I said shaking my head.

"Mmm maybe I can settle for a dark, dark emerald" he said thinking about it.

"Sounds good to me" I replied jumping out of bed, making a creaking noise with the ancient floorboards.

"Well, what colour suit will you wear?" Draco asked.

"I'm not really sure yet" I replied. Draco sighed and shook his head.

"Where's the bathroom again?" He asked.

"Across the hallway" I replied before he left to go and have a shower.

While I was moping around I had an idea. I moved towards the chest of draws and pulled out a Gryfinndor sports jumper and some running shorts, along with some socks and trainers.

Draco came back later with a black towel hanging off his hips,

"This whole house's colour scheme is my vibe" he said before he realised what I was wearing.

"Why are you wearing running gear" he said. I raised one eyebrow because the clothes kinda answered his question.

"Alright, when do you wanna go?" He asked pulling on a black t-shirt and a pair of men's sports leggings.

"After breakfast I guess" I said shrugging my shoulders.

"But we've literally just had showers" he said slipping on black socks and black trainers.

"It won't be anything too intense, and I can just do a Lil hot air charm" I said with nonchalance.

Now it was Draco's turn to raise an eyebrow,

"we're outside of school, we can't do magic" he said also crossing his arms.

"I'm Harry Potter, the boy who lived" I said placing my hands on his arms, "I can do a little spell here and there" I said with a smile.

"Never let me forget that I'm dating the boy who lived" he chuckled before giving me a quick kiss.

We both walked out of the room and downstairs to the dining room. We sat next to each other at the large table. I could hear Kreacher grumbling in the kitchen.

Draco and I spoke for a while about nothing, but I liked it because he kept on running his fingers through my bed head.

Eventually, lupin came down and sat at the head on the table, Kreacher heard him and brought him the daily prophet. Which he read intensely, his eyes scanning over every word. Kreacher came in with plates of toast, eggs, bacon and other miscellaneous breakfast items. I made myself a bacon roll with what was on offer and Draco buttered some toast for himself.

Sirius came plodding in, unlike lupin who was wearing a matching set of striped pyjamas, Sirius was wearing something quite different. His hair was a straggly mess and he hadn't shaved, he seemed to be wearing nothing but a long leather coat with black fur bordering the collar and armholes. He had a couple of necklaces on which I had the sense not to stare at. Despite this apparent untidiness, Sirius still managed to look completely comfortable, and put together, with an air of confidence surrounding him.

This wasn't an unusual sight for lupin and I but Draco were spellbound.
