"Where are you taking me? You already gave me a tour yesterday." Hermione said as they walked down the stairs.

Draco shook his head and smiled as he said. "I left one room for today."

"What room?" Hermione asked as she looked at the paintings that were hung on the wall. Some paintings were of women and men with blinding blond hair and grey eyes. Definitely the Malfoy ancestors.

"My favorite room, now stop talking and follow me." He said. He gave her a kiss on the cheek when she rolled her eyes and pulled her with him.

They stopped in front of a white door and Draco slowly pushed it open before using his wand to light some candles.

"Oh..." Hermione's lips parted.

"Amazing, I know." Draco said as he walked towards the grand piano that was in the middle of the room.

Hermione looked around as Draco started pressing some randoms keys.

The ceiling was a painting of the night sky. Constellations took over the whole space. Some candles were floating in the air, giving the room a golden hue that lit Hermione's brown eyes. Some violins were placed in front of a wall, some flutes were in the room as well, but the thing that had the most presence in the room was the grand piano that Draco was now sitting in front of.

"Come on, I will teach you a bit." Draco said as he motioned for her to sit next to him.

Hermione beamed and sat next to him, breathing in awe at the piano. It wasn't like it was the first time she has seen a piano, but the last time she has seen one was with her parents, and that was a long time ago when she forced them to give her piano lessons. They agreed in the end, but in the end, she failed, miserably. Maybe Draco would be a better teacher.

"Have you played the piano before?" He asked as he put her fingers on some keys.

"Tried to."

"And?"

"I failed. Let's not talk about that." Hermione smiled and averted her attention to the piano. "So, how do we do this?"

"Okay, so, just let me guide your fingers, yeah?" He put his hands on both of hers as he said so.

She ignored the butterflies that were in her stomach and nodded twice. "Yeah, let's do this."

He moved her hands a bit then pressed down on her fingers; making her press the keys. The sounds that were made float through the air in a melodic wave.

"Yeah, just like that." He said in a tone that sounded almost like a whisper.

They kept going like this, Draco pressing his hands on Hermione's every time to produce beautiful tunes. A permanent smile was painted on each of their faces.

The sound of a knock broke their reverie.

"Mother, how can I help you?" Draco said as he looked up from the keys.

"Hello Draco, Hermione." She smiled as she walked towards them. "Blaise sent a letter for you."

"Oh, thank you." Draco said as Narcissa handed him the letter. She smiled one last time before leaving.

"It's about the New Year's Ball, the letter is addressed for the both of us." He said as he opened the letter and began reading aloud.
