The sun was setting by the time Draco and Aria decided to leave the Slytherin room. Not much happened after Luna, Blaise and Theo had left the room, as the moment had been a little disturbed and that was an understatement. Nevertheless, Aria really had appreciated the time that she had got to spend with Draco. She also appreciated the fact that it seemed the more and more time she spent with Draco, the less and less the two argued over things.
As Aria wandered into the Great Hall hand in hand with Draco, she was met with a realisation. She was Draco's girlfriend now and nothing could be more perfect than that.
The two of them made their way over to the Slytherin table to sit with Luna, Blaise and Theo.
Theo spoke first.
"Hi you two! How was your-"
Blaise swiftly placed a hand over Theo's mouth to hush him from saying anything that could cause him to receive a broken nose from Draco.
"-day?" Theo finished abruptly, as soon as Blaise had pulled his hand away from his mouth.
"My day was great thank you, Theo," Aria said with a sincere smile. "How was yours?" she asked him, with genuine interest.
"It was amazing!" Theo said energetically, "I ended up joining Luna and Blaise in the kitchens and got to try every single kind of Bertie Bott's every flavour jelly beans. Fred told me that they were all going out of date today so of course I had to eat them as quickly as possible for...reasons. Anyway, don't you two think it's ridiculous that magical food expires? I always have," Theo said. "Then again, if someone handed me a one-hundred year old jelly bean, I definitely doubt that I would want to eat it," he said. "Anyway, I think that Bertie Bott's every flavour jelly beans could do with having a few more flavours. I'm going to write to the company immediately about this one."
Draco pinched the bridge of his nose, as he listened to his friend's excitement-filled rambles. If there was one thing that Theodore Nott loved to do, then it was talk.
"You do that, Theo," Aria said through her soft bursts of laughter.
"Anyway, I've got to go and return a book to the library. I'll see you all later!" Theo said with a grin.
The others all murmured goodbyes to him, as their eyes followed him out of the Great Hall.
Blaise and Luna eventually had to leave to, which left just Draco and Aria sat beside each other.
That was until Ginny Weasley showed up, of course, with warmth in her gaze. She had caught on to the fact that Draco and Aria were an item by now. Of course, she would have done. She wasn't completely oblivious.
"Have to admire the fact that you two find so much time to spend time together when there are so many jobs to do around Hogwarts before classes start up again," Ginny said, with a slightly sarcastic tone of voice.
Aria smirked.
"We're just cool like that," Draco said.
Aria turned to him and gave a small nod of her head in her agreement.
Ginny gave a subtle shake of her head in disbelief, but she smiled in amusement right after.
"It's good to see you again, Aria. I've missed having you around. We all have. Promise me that you won't spend too much time with the Slytherins now and forget all about us?" she asked.
"I could never do that," Aria replied with a friendly smile.
Ginny released a dramatic sigh of relief.
"Good! I would miss you far, far too much if you did! You're one of my best friends," she said enthusiastically, "And I am so glad that we can finally relax and enjoy our time at Hogwarts again."
