"YN- We, we can't," Draco said,

"And why is that?" YN teased,

"I'm being serious," Draco said, 

"Why?" YN pressed,

"Because, because I'm a Slytherin,"

"Bullshit," YN said, "That's not a reason,"

"And you are a Gryffindor, war hero, brave, the girl who lived," Draco said,

"I don't care, I don't care about status,"

"I do,"

"If that's what you think of me," YN stood up from the sofa,

"YN," Draco said, YN turned around,

"I'm done!" she said, walking to her bedroom,

"YN! Wait!"

"Why? You are too good for me, your majesty!" she said, sarcastically,

"That's not what I meant! I don't want people judging you! You deserve happiness, and you won't get that with me," Draco said,

"You are ridiculous! I don't care about that sort of thing!" YN was yelling by now,

"YN, I - I,"

"It's not all about you! Just tell me you don't want it,"

"I can't say that, because I do want it. I want us, I've liked you since our third year, and I can't believe I'm saying this!"

"Are- are you - are you serious?" YN stuttered,

"Yes, I am. I have never been so sure of anything in my life, I care about you! You went away to defeat Voldemort and I was scared!"

"That's why you helped us at the manor! You convinced Bellatrix to give me food so she could torture me longer, but after that you - you gave Harry his wand!" Draco nodded, "Why can't we try it?"

"Ok, okay. YN, how about we date for a week, see how it works, and if it doesn't work out-,"

"We'll burn that bridge when we get to it," YN said,

"Cross,"

"The same thing," YN smiled,

"Oh, God, what am I doing?" Draco wiped his brow, "Ok, YN Lilly Potter, would you do me the honour of being my girlfriend, for a week,"

"I thought you would never ask," YN grinned and hugged Draco around the neck, his arms around her waist, she pulled her head back enough to give him a peck on the lips.


An hour or so later, Hermione knocked on the door,

"Mione, come in, how are you?"

"I'm alright, yeah, you?"

"I'm fine, what's up?"

"Harry told me about your argument," 

"I'm guessing you want me to apologise,"

"No, actually, I wanted to meet Ma- Draco," Hermione corrected herself,

"You want to meet Draco?"

"YN, you're my best friend, I want to meet your boyfriend,"

"Boyfriend?" YN asked, "How do you know?"

"You just told me," Hermione said, "Now let talk to him,"

"He's in his room, Draco! Hermione wants to talk to you!" YN yelled in the direction of Draco's room, he walked out, this time with a shirt on, and sat on the arm of the sofa,

"What's going on?" he asked,

"She knows everything and wants to meet you,"

"How does she-?"

"She just knows this shit, Draco," 

"Draco, Draco, Draco," Hermione said,

"Play nice," YN said, lightly slapping Hermione,

"I am being nice! So, you like YN?"

"Yeah, I do," Draco said,

"It's very obvious. Would you ever hurt her?"

"Mione!"

"It's fine, YN," Draco said, calmly, "No, I wouldn't,"

"Explain the past few years then," Hermione said, 

"My father didn't approve of me, so he had my friends report to him about everything I did,"

"You kissed YN yet?"

"Mione!" YN yelled, hitting Hermione with a pillow,

"That's a yes, I'm happy for you, NN, I've got my eye on you," she added, glaring at Draco, who looked visibly worried,

"Relax, Hermione is all bark and no bite," YN said, Hermione mimed biting, 

"YN's the one with the bite," Hermione said, "Punching people left right and centre," she coughed, "Our third year,"

"Oh yeah, you broke my nose," Draco said, YN smiled,

"Well, this has been a lovely visit, Mione, dear. Goodbye,"

"I'll see you two around, snogging somewhere," Hermione teased, leaving,

"I'm sorry about her," YN said,

"Don't be, she's a good person," YN stood up and started walking to her bedroom door, Draco held her around the waist to stop her,

"What are you doing?" YN asked, Draco pulled her closer to him and buried his face into her neck, beginning to kiss it, 

"Who's got the bite now?" Draco teased, YN laughed at the comment, but suddenly bit her lip as Draco continued kissing her,

"Draco, don't leave a mark,"

"That's not up to me, baby,"

"I'm your baby now? This isn't very first-day-of-dating of you," YN said,

"Fine, I'll stop," Draco pulled apart, "And ask you on a date,"

"Wait, what?"

"I'm pretty sure you heard me. I would like to ask you on a date," Draco said, YN turned to face him, 

"Okay?"

"So what'd you say? Next weekend? Saturday?"

"I doubt you will be able to stay away from me until then,"

"True, but I mean, where's the problem?" Draco grinned, making YN laugh,

"Okay, Saturday it is," YN kissed Draco's cheek, "Now actually let me leave this time!"
