It was time for Draco to make his way to Ophelia to take her to lunch. He decided he would take her to Hogsmeade today. It was a bit chilly, but it wasn't horrible. As soon as the clock tower indicated noon, he jumped out of his seat and quickly made his way to the Slytherin common room. When he got there, Ophelia was sitting on the couch reading a book. He smiled because she wasn't looking in his direction. He snuck up behind her and put his hands over her eyes. She giggled and looked up at Draco when he removed his hand and instead wrapped them around her.

"Hello, Draco." She gave him a big smile and he returned a small one.

"Hello, Ophelia, ready to go get lunch?" She jumped up excitedly.

"Yes, I'm quite hungry. Did you have a place in mind or are we going to the Great Hall?"

"Yeah, I was going to take you to Hogsmeade today." Ophelia couldn't contain her excitement.

"Oh, I've always wanted to go there! You guys always talk about it and I've always wanted to go but mother never wanted me to. I'm guessing we're going to The Three Broomsticks?" Draco chuckled and pulled her close. She turned red as they just stared at one another for a while.

"I'm sure you'll love it there." Draco felt his heart soaring whenever he looks at her. He was genuinely happy that she was happy. Draco kissed her forehead and got ready to apparate the two of them to Hogsmeade. Ophelia quickly kissed his cheek and laid her head on his shoulder. Draco hugged her tight and then took them to Hogsmeade. When Ophelia opened her eyes, they were in a small town bustling with people.

"Oh, Merlin's beard! It's everything I've ever imagined it to be!" Ophelia was becoming more excited by the minute. Draco grabbed her hand and took her inside The Three Broomsticks. He sat them down at a corner table and waited for their food and Butterbeer to be served, as they were waited on as soon as they sat down.

"I'm serious Hermione, I'll give you five galleons for doing my potions homework. Please!" Ronald was practically begging Hermione at this point. They had also decided to go to Hogsmeade with Harry and Ginny. Harry and Ginny were holding hands as the four of them walked into The Three Broomsticks.

"For Merlin's sake, Ronald! I'm done doing your homework! Do it yourself for once in your life!" Hermione sat down in a huff. Ronald groaned and sat down beside her while Harry sat down in front of them. They too were in a corner and had a full view of the entire place. They started chatting and quickly heard Ophelia's laugh. They looked over and saw her and Malfoy smiling.

"Bloody hell, is Malfoy smiling?" Ronald tried to look more but Hermione hit him.

"Ronald! As much as I would like to watch in amazement, they are obviously on a date. Leave them alone." Hermione huffed while Harry chimed in.

"It is a miracle though." Hermione laughed and they enjoyed their butterbeer and meal while talking about random things.

"So that's what happened a few years ago? You were turned into a ferret?" Ophelia laughed at Draco's traumatic memory. Maybe one day he can laugh at it, but he's still currently unsettled by the event.

"Yes. Don't speak too loudly, someone might hear you!" He tried to sound mad, but he just couldn't. Ophelia's laugh was contagious and melodic. No one could stay angry at the young lady when she was laughing.

"I'm sorry, I promise not to speak too loudly Draco." She smiled and at him and he smiled back. He was so in love with the woman in front of him. With all of the other girls over the years, he never thought of just screwing Ophelia and leaving, like he would with other girls. He truly wanted a future with her and he would do anything to show that to her.

"Well, tell me more about Beaxbattons. Do you have any funny stories from there?" Draco asked as their food was being set down in front of them. The waitress loomed over Draco and was too close. Ophelia noticed and was filled with a jealous rage.

"Not many, but I do have the kinky sex memories from last night babe." She winked at him and he spits out some of the Butterbeer that he was trying to consume. He coughed as the waitress walked away with a huff. Ophelia smiled to herself and handed him a napkin.

"Ophelia, you and I-" Ophelia cut him off by shushing him.

"Oh, I know that. And you know that. However, the waitress that was eye raping you, did not." Ophelia giggled quietly as Draco looked over at the waitress who served them. He shrugged and started to mess with the waitress to show her he was Ophelia's.

"You're right darling. Last night was exciting." Draco played with her hair and got really close to her. She turned a bright red and smiled.

"We should do it again sometime." She leaned her head into the palm of his hand. While they weren't looking, the waitress was walking over with a pitcher of butterbeer, intending to spill it all over Ophelia. The whole time, Hermione, Harry, and Ronald were watching the scene go down.

"Oh god, she's going to dump the butterbeer on Ophelia!" Hermione whispered as she got out her wand. Hermione tried thinking of a harmless spell that she could use. Expelliarmus would just shatter that glass when it falls to the floor.

"Anything from a few years ago when we were learning harmless spells?" Harry chimed in when Hermione gasped.

"Avifors!" She yelled across the room and pointed at the jug and it turned into a bird just as the waitress was pouring it onto Ophelia. The waitress screamed and stepped back as the bird flew everywhere. Hermione, Ronald, and Harry were laughing loudly, as was everyone else. Draco looked in amazement as the Golden Trio just saved his date from needing to leave and get new clothes. Ginny comes in not too long after the event, as she had left to use the loo, and Harry fills her in. She too laughs and lays her head on his shoulder.

"We should get going Draco. Some people are just too immature, they'd do anything to ruin a date."

"I couldn't have agreed more." Draco glared at the waitress as Ophelia grabbed his hand as he helped her from her seat. Draco nodded to the trio in thanks and they did the same. Draco noted to properly thank them later. He kept a firm arm around Ophelia's lower back, guiding her through Hogsmeade. After a few more hours of walking around and spending time with Ophelia, they headed back to Hogwarts to eat dinner and go to the common room.

Like that morning, Ophelia sat with the trio at their table after she finished eating. Draco didn't dare follow as he didn't want any more attention on him than there already is. Pansy saw he was alone and sat extremely close to him.

"Draco, why don't you sleep with me tonight. It'll be fun." Pansy bit her lap and put her hand over his pants. Draco literally gagged as loud as he could and got up.

"I'd rather sleep with a Weasley before I slept with you." Draco glared at Pansy and left the great hall. Ophelia frowned and excused herself from the table to see what was wrong with Draco. However, there was a very disturbed Ronald and Ginny. After a few moments, every burst out laughing because they knew what had happened. Pansy tried getting with Draco and he denied her and practically insulted her.

"Draco?" Ophelia followed him until they reached outside the castle. It was a bit breezy and Ophelia was getting chilly.

"Draco, come on love, it's cold." Ophelia rubbed Draco's back as his heart soar from the little name she had just called him.

"Love, huh?" He turned around and smirked. Ophelia blushed and stuttered a little.

"Yeah. If you don't like it I could just-"

"I love it." Draco pulled her closer and held her. Their hearts soared as they felt one another's warmth. Draco looked Ophelia in the eyes as they stood in the moonlight. He caressed her cheek and she leaned into his touch.

"You're so beautiful," Draco whispered. Ophelia blushed in return. She couldn't have been more ecstatic that Draco thought that about her.

"You're very handsome yourself," Ophelia whispered back. Draco had the urge to kiss her. They inched closer to one another, breathing in one another's breath and taking in the warmth. They rubbed noses and if they lean in just a tad more, they'd be kissing.

"Ophelia! Draco! Where do you think they went, Nott?" Both of their eyes widened as they heard Blaise and Theo come closer. The immediately moved away and Ophelia made a move as if she had finally found him.

"There you are Draco. I've been looking for ages. Come on, it's cold out." As soon as she said that, Blaise and Theo rounded the corner and found them. Draco acted like he was still mad.

"So, you'd rather screw a Weasley than Parkinson?" Theodore laughed as Blaise nudged him in the stomach.

"Come one, let's all go to the common room." They both nodded and walked back. They ran into the trio and Draco stopped with Ophelia for a moment.

"Thank you, Miss. I thought it was clever to turn the jug into a bird." Ophelia giggled, as did Hermione.

"You're welcome. I saw the whole thing and I knew something had to be done, as you two were caught up in one another." Hermione giggled again, not noticing Ronald was staring at her with a smile.

"Well, yes, Granger. Thank you, again." Draco shifted uncomfortably from the gratitude he showed a moment before.

"Well, we better get going. Nice to see you two again." Harry inquired and as a joke, Ophelia held out her hand and laughed as Harry turned red.

"I'm never doing that again." He said uncomfortably as Draco stared him down.

"Good." Harry sent an eye roll as they went around the two. When Draco and Ophelia looked up, Blaise and Theo were long gone. They smiled at one another and held hands all the way back to the common room. They laughed as they talked about random things. When they got there, there were random Slytherins around the room, and a pissed off Pansy in the corner. Once again, Ophelia followed Draco into his room. They talked more and ended up falling asleep in peace once again.

"They really are cute together." Hermione inquired as she sat down on the couch. Ron shrugged while Harry half-heartedly agreed.

"Sure I guess." They all did their own thing and eventually went to sleep themselves.

"Bellatrix, are you sure, that Ophelia is in Hogwarts?" Voldemort questioned her validity.

"Of course, my lord. The people she lived with wouldn't have sent her too far." Bellatrix gave her famous stare as then lowered her head as Voldemort looked over.

"Alright then. I take your word for it. Lucius," Voldemort paused as Mr. Malfoy looked over.

"Yes, my lord?" He seemed hopeful. He had already used up all of his chances and should have been dead by now.

"Get ahold of Draco. Tell him to tell us anything he knows about an Ophelia that might be there. Fail, and I will kill you. Understand?" Lucius was about to question him about what he meant but he stopped himself.

"Yes, my lord." He then left to owl his son. His pathetic excuse for a son, that is.

"Make sure he does not fail," Voldemort said to Bellatrix as he apparated away.
