My braid turns out better than I expected. It's a bit lopsided, but the way he gave a goofy grin, it was endearing how he looked so proud of himself. So I hugged him tight, saying I loved it. I kind of did.

We both ran back inside the castle, right before students started waking up, to avoid being caught. Hurrying back in, breath caught up in our throats, I looked at him. The smile played across his face. The blonde hair waving off his forehead. His hand in mine.
And I fell a little deeper in love.

'Lucky nobody caught us.' he huffed as we jogged our way in the common room, the slow light dimming softly through the windows. It was 6:30am, and people were about to wake up soon.

'Yeah.' I smiled wide.

He watched my eyes with wonder and admiration. Then he kissed me hard on the lips. My hands rested on his chested, and his were gripping my waist.

He moved a tendril of hair behind my ears, bending his head slightly so we were at eye level with each other.

'See you at the great hall?' he whispered.

My face hurt from how much I smiled, and I felt slightly faint.
I delicately placed a small peck on his cheek,

'See you.'

I walked back to my dorm, shutting the door quietly behind me. I sighed, my back leaning against it.

About 30 minutes later, it was safe to come outside. The building still echoed in silence, but eventually, students from the common room spilled out, hurrying to grab breakfast.
I followed after them, making my way to the hall.

It hummed in busyness as usual, but I couldn't find Draco anywhere. He wasn't sat at the Slytherin table, and he wasn't seen walking in.
I shrugged to myself, deciding to join the trio at the Gryffindor table.

'Hey, guys.' I sat myself down beside them.

Ron grinned through his mouthful of cereal,
'Morning Domi!' he said.

Hermione quickly whacked him on the arm with her Daily Prophet newspaper.
'Don't talk with your mouth full, Ron!' she told him off.

He turned to me, and rolled his eyes dramatically. We both giggled uncontrollably.

'I adore your braids, Domi! How did you do them so well?' Hermione exclaimed.

'Oh, thank you.' I blushed, 'Um. Draco did them for me.'

She gave a shocked smile,
'Oh my God, that is adorable!'

'Thanks!' I said, but my focus drifted to the entrance of the hall, waiting for Draco to show up.

Harry eyed me carefully,
'Where's Malfoy?'

My eyes flickered to him, and I flustered a little,
'Oh um- I don't know.'

Hermione gasped in excitement,
'Are you two dating now?'

My cheeks felt hot,
'Uh- I guess. I'm not sure-' I let out an awkward laugh, which sounded a bit horrific, even to my ears.
