When all was quiet in the Gryffindor dormitories, Y/N crept out of her bed and into the common room. She went to "sleep" with normal clothes on, so she could make a silent escape and not worry about having to get changed before she left.

After looking around the corner of the staircase to make sure nobody was still awake and in the common room, she made her way towards the door. The Fat Lady was sleeping soundly in her portrait, making it easy for Y/N to slip out of Gryffindor headquarters. When she returned she'd have no choice but to wake The Fat Lady up to let her in, but she couldn't worry about that now, every nerve in her body was preoccupied with thoughts of what her first date with Draco was going to be like.

The girl didn't have to ponder the thought for too long, as before she knew it her feet had brought her to the Astronomy Tower. She had been so distracted with her racing mind, that she hadn't noticed that the platinum blonde boy was already there, waiting for her. His voice startled her out of her thoughts.

"Wow." Draco said with a smile as he took in Y/N's appearance. She was wearing an outfit that he thought was a lot more special than her Gryffindor uniform (although secretly he thought she looked nice in anything).

The girl sported a confused expression.

"I'm just wearing jeans and a t-shirt Malfoy, it's nothing fancy" She pointed out, matter-a-factly.

"I'm used to seeing you in school robes, Weasley. Can you just let me be in awe for a second?" The boy replied with a grin as a blush quickly rose to Y/N's cheeks.

"hmmm. Alright I guess I'll let you admire me just this once" She smirked confidently, but the permanent blush on her face said otherwise.

The Malfoy boy looked at the ground and smiled, as if he too was blushing and trying to hide it.

"Well now that we've got that settled, come sit?"

Y/N peered around him and saw a small picnic rug and pillows set up on the floor, some sweets sitting to the side of it. The only light coming from the moon and stars above them, as well as a small candle

"Draco, you did this?" She softly spoke as if she was scared she was about to wake up from a dream.

"Yeah I did. Didn't know what kind of sweets you liked so the elves in the kitchen gave us small servings of each. They were quite excited to help. Borrowed the candle from Trelawney's classroom. That woman has so many, I really don't think she'll miss it"

Y/N stared at the boy in awe. Draco Malfoy, the Slytherin Prince, the heir to the Malfoy name, had done all these nice things for her?  

"I uh- hope you like it. I've never um- never been on a date before so I don't know if this is the correct thing to do but-"

"Oh Draco, of course I like it! It's perfect. You've done very well, please don't worry."

Upon hearing the Gryffindor girl's words, he felt a wave of relief brush over him. Unbeknownst to her,  he was just as nervous (if not more nervous), than she was. He wanted to show Y/N that he wasn't as big of a 'bad guy' that he often came across as. Not that he knew, but the girl never thought of him like that.

The pair made their way over to the rug and sat down together. As they ate, they spoke about their day, Y/N mentioning the conversation she'd had with her brothers at dinner earlier. Draco looked apologetic, but Y/N insisted she didn't care what they thought, stating that who she hangs out with is far from their choice. The platinum blonde whole heartedly smiled at her response, and she swore it was the first time she'd ever seen him smile like that.
