you can't help but be in a good mood, last night you finally shared a kiss with the boy you've fallen hard for.

you feel a hand on your shoulder and look up to see Ron rushing to sit beside you. "what did i walk in on last night?" he asks in a hurry, determined to know the answer. "it's been running through my mind all night, i need an answer" "okay Ron, firstly just calm down. and secondly... you walked in on us talking"

"only talking?" "well... okay okay, we kissed" you whisper, with a smile on your face. Ron looks like he's about to pass out with the amount of surprise in his expression.

"you kissed?" "yes, but don't tell anyone okay? i think we are together but it has to be a secret, so please Ron..." "i won't tell anyone, am i the only one that knows?" "yes, will you keep it a secret?"

"i promise y/n... wow you and Malfoy" "yeah, it's a bit strange" "a bit? you used to hate each other. everyone in the classroom had trouble concentrating from the amount of times the two of you argued" "true, but i guess things have changed. i'm really happy to be with him i just kind of hate that it can't be shown"

"does he know that? why is it a secret anyway?" "i told him i was fine with it, it has to be hidden because he has things he needs to figure out. i think that just means his family and friends won't accept me... anyway we should head to class" "yeah... you sitting next to us or ditching for your... boyfriend?"

you slightly laugh at that, boyfriend... it sounds crazy out loud but it sounds kinda great too.

"i will be sitting with you" "good!" "lets go" you roll your eyes playfully and get up from the table, heading to your first class of the day. you walk in the room with Ron by your side, looking around and seeing Malfoy isn't there yet. you take a seat beside Ron, wondering what's to come now that you're in a secret relationship with a boy who knows not much about relationships.

you wonder if it's going to bad, but you hope it'll be good. you're willing to teach him the ways of a relationship but then again you don't really know much yourself.

Hermione enters the class and sits behind the two of you, leaning over her desk and whispering "hey!" to you two. It's not a happy hey though, it's more concerned.

the both of you turn around and lean over, "yeah?" Ron asks. "have you guys seen Harry?" "not since last night, i was looking for him" "wait you didn't find him after you saw me?" you ask. "no, i couldn't" "i don't know where he is, i'm worried about him" Hermione sighs.

coincidentally, the moment Hermione says she's worried about him, Harry walks through the door. he looks like a mess, dark eyes, messy hair. "Harry where have you been?" Hermione asks sternly, as he takes a seat beside her. "i sleep walked, i think... i woke up outside Dumbledore's office"

"sleepwalking? that doesn't sound good mate" Ron whispers. "i'm fine, just having bad dreams lately. honestly i'm fine just face the front". You and Ron both look at each other, hesitantly turning back around.

Before you can completely turn to the front, you see Draco walk through the door. somehow he looks even better today then he ever has, but maybe that's just your new feelings speaking.

you watch him walk through the door and take a seat beside Blaise, Pansy sitting behind them. He notices you looking when he checks to see if you're here, making your heart beat faster. He smiles at you before looking down at his books, opening them up and ignoring Pansy who is tapping on his shoulder rapidly.

you stare down at your books wondering how things are going to be from now on, you wish you could tell your friends but you're just going to have to wait until it's okay with Draco.

after your class you wait for everyone to leave before you approach Malfoy, you follow him out the classroom and walk alongside him. "hey", he turns to you and smiles a little. "hi" "are you okay?" "yeah, i'm good, you?" "i'm good... so i was thinking that we should hang out tonight" you suggest.

"yeah, we can do that. you should meet my friends though, maybe they'll be more accepting when they know who you actually are" "i'd be happy to do so, invite them too. i want to meet them properly" "wait really?" "yes of course! they're your friends, that means something" "i guess... alright well i'll tell them. just meet me here at 3"

"okay, well see you in defence against the dark arts in half an hour?" "yeah" he looks around to see if anyone's near. when he sees that everyone has left the hall, he steps forward and gives you a very gentle kiss, lasting a few seconds.

when he pulls away, he has a smile on his face that you can see he's trying to hide, but failing miserably. "see you then y/n" "bye malfoy" you smile warmly, watching him walk away. you're nervous to meet his friends, mostly Pansy... but excited too.
