draco had been staying at my house for a few weeks before we returned to hogwarts. living in a muggle neighborhood, my world was a mystery to him. as we walked into the house, my parents waved goodbye from the car, heading off for a business trip.
"wow, this place is nice," draco said, glancing around as he took it all in.
"thank you." i smiled, heading to the kitchen.
he paused, staring wide-eyed at the large flat-screen TV mounted on the wall. "what is that?" he asked, pointing at it.
"it's a tv. you can watch news, movies, and shows on it," i explained, grabbing a bottle of water.
he nodded, clearly fascinated, and we continued upstairs to my room. stepping in, i felt a wave of nostalgia seeing everything just as i'd left it before hogwarts.
"my phone!" i exclaimed, rushing to pick it up and scrolling through messages from friends.
draco raised an eyebrow, looking between my phone and the small TV screen on the back of the case. "woah, another tv?" he asked, puzzled.
i laughed. "it's not a tv; it's a phone. this is an iphone. i can text, call, play games, and even watch videos on it." i handed it to him, watching as he studied it curiously.
"is that your friends?" he asked, pointing to the group photo on my lock screen.
i nodded, and he lay back on my bed, scrolling carefully through the phone, looking amused by the muggle technology.
"feel free to look around my room if you want," i said, heading to the bathroom. "i'm gonna shower and change—we're going to the mall."
"the mall? how are we getting there?" he asked, surprised.
"a car," i replied, smiling at his confusion.
"you can drive?" he asked, his eyes wide.
i laughed. "i'm sixteen, draco."
he seemed genuinely impressed. "wow, i didn't know that."
"just don't mess up anything in here," i teased, heading to the bathroom as he nodded, still exploring my room with a mix of curiosity and awe.
after my shower, i walked back into the room, drying my hair with a towel. i found draco standing by a photo of the two of us, a soft smile on his face.
"that's really cute," he said, and i laughed as he came over, wrapping his arms around me.
"you smell nice, like strawberries," he noted, inhaling the scent of my damp hair.
i laughed, giving him a gentle push. "you want to change?"
"we're going now?" he asked, excitement in his voice.
i nodded, grabbing my phone and slipping it into my pocket. "it's cold outside, so wear this." i tossed him a hoodie and joggers that my brother mark had left here.
draco quickly took off his shirt, and as he pulled the hoodie over his head, i grabbed my keys and wallet, sitting on the bed while i waited. he glanced at himself in the mirror, adjusting the fit.
"here, some shoes," i said, passing him a pair. he put them on and checked his reflection.
"you look great," i said, playfully pushing him toward the door. he smirked, and we headed out.
we parked the car and got out, hand in hand as we walked into the mall. draco looked around, his eyes wide at the sheer size of the place.
"this is massive," he said, amazed.
we wandered through the shops, picking up clothes and a few things he needed. eventually, we reached the food court, and i asked, "want something to eat?"
"yes!" he said enthusiastically, making me laugh as we browsed the options. "there's chinese food, burgers, and pizza."
"i want pizza," he said with excitement. "i've always wanted to try it."
we ordered, took our seats, and when the pizza arrived, he eagerly took a slice, his eyes lighting up after the first bite. "this is amazing!" he said between bites, savoring each one.
i laughed, enjoying his enthusiasm and feeling grateful for the chance to share these little things with him.
