"So this is where Filch lives." You murmured, pinching your nose. "Eugh, it smellsth oft friedth fishth" Malfoy complained, with his nose pinched. You both looked around. The room was windowless and had a single oil lamp descending from the ceiling. You wandered about the musty room and opened and closed drawers, containing files over files of documented misbehaviour caused by students. Fred and George has their own seven draws to themselves. You laughed and accidentally let go of your nose. The smell of the fish jabbed at your senses and you gagged. You grabbed your wand out of your pockets and flicked it to cast the bubble head charm. You breathed a giant triumphant breath. You saw Malfoy try to do the same spell, but he'd obviously never payed that much attention in charms. You smirked and casted the spell on to him. He scowled. He obviously wanted to do it himself to seem smart. The two of you continued to search the room when you found the cupboard where Filch kept confiscated items. You and Malfoy looked at each other with the same mischievous grin.

Over the course of the next half an hour, you explored Filch's treasures. You mostly found makeup, balls and rubber duckies but you also found some rare items that you recognised from a book Hermione gave you. You found a heart shaped necklace. You inspected the beautiful necklace closely, tempted to put it on, but decided not to, and placed it in your pocket, you looked over and a snake shaped ring with encrusted green gems caught your eye.

"Draco, you'd suit this so well." You said while handing him the beautiful ring. He took it from you and looked at it. "Geminio." He muttered, pointing his wand at the ring. The ring duplica-ted. Draco smirked and handed you the ring. "I've been practicing that spell for years now, say thank you and put that ring on your fin-ger." You narrowed your eyes. "Impressive, Malfoy, but why?" You said, mocking his smirk. He placed his hand on your face and rubbed his thumb up and down your cheek, his eyes staring at your face but not into your eyes. He ignored the question and looked right into your eyes. After what seemed like hours, he snapped out of whatever trance he was in and smirked. "You're mine and I need Diggory to know that." You flushed but quickly recovered. "In your dreams Draco." You jeered and placed the ring on your right index finger. "Awe, I wanted you to put it on the ring finger." He whined. You grabbed him by the arm and walked out of the office. "That's my point." You said, letting go of his arm and turning to walk backwards so you could face him, a grin dancing on your face. "Where are we going, mudblood? And don't call me that dreadful name, it's so juvenile." Malfoy drawled. "To the dorms, obviously. It's most likely after midnig-ht." You said, rolling your eyes. He frowned, but jogged up to catch up with you. He walked beside you and you both walked in silence. Unexplainable, beautiful silence. You felt a hand brush against yours. It was warm and soft. You slipped your hand into his and continued to walk, fingers entwined.
