37| Draco's Birthday

Y/N POV

Today was the 5th of June 1995 which meant it was Draco's 15 birthday. I asked my mom to send me a suitable gift that a girlfriend would give to her boyfriend. It arrived last Monday at breakfast. Draco didn't ask much about it, he thought it was just my weekly supply of sweets from my parents.

My parents had known about our relationship since I decided to tell them a month ago in the letter. They said they had expected it to happen sooner or later and they were happy that we were finally a thing. Quite weird to hear that from my own parents, to be honest.

We usually celebrate his birthday like any other ordinary people did. However, he was my boyfriend now and I had to make things a little bit different than usual. I discussed this with Hermione the other day since she was the only who wanted to help me plan things out.

So, here was the plan. I would wake up at the time I usually wake up. I had to act like normal, not too excited, so he wouldn't notice. He always forgot his own birthday so that would be easy.

We would take today's classes as usual. Then after the classes were over, right before dinner time, I would change into something nicer and more proper than usual, but not too nice cause he would get suspicious.

I would ask him to skip dinner with me to sneak out to Hogsmeade for a mini date. That should be easy because he loved dates with me. We would have dinner at the Three Broomsticks cause they have delicious meals. I had ordered a birthday cake at Madam Puddifoot last Saturday when we were having a date there, and that was our top destination. This might sound simple, but really, we didn't have much choice for the places since we were still at school.

"Morning boyfriend," I greeted.

"Morning love, you ready for breakfast?"

I nodded and we proceeded to the great hall. I took the first move to hold his hand and he was a bit surprised at first. Frankly, acting to be normal was way harder than I thought. I was too excited to go to Madam Puddifoot tonight that I tended to cling on Draco more than ever.

"Why are you so clingy today?" He giggled.

"Can't I?" I said while casually slinging my arms around his neck so he would face me. I knew I had gone mad at this point. Vincent, Greg and Blaise choked right after seeing what I did while Draco widened his eyes. Almost everyone at school knew that it was always Draco who mostly started everything between us. Damn it, I was acting out of my character today.

"Say, what about we skip class today?" He smirked. That wasn't the mission. I should've said no, but how could I miss the chance?

•••

The first plan to stay normal failed miserably. We ended up skipping classes and going back to our dorm. My dorm, to be exact. Draco was in the girls' dorm with me. I didn't know how he ended up following me inside and now we were cuddling in my bed. This was nice but I liked everything to happen according to the original plan.

"We should do this all day," he chuckled.

NO. What about his birthday surprise plan? I couldn't let myself enjoy this.

"You shouldn't be here Draco."

"Would you rather be in my dorm then?" He asked, smirking playfully.

"We shouldn't be doing this."

"We should, it's my birthday after all," he replied.

Not gonna lie, I was shocked. Luckily, he couldn't see my face right now as I buried my head in his chest. How could he remember his birthday this year? He never paid attention to this all the years before.
