The next morning I wake up bright and early making sure to give myself enough time to get ready for the first day of school. The beginning of year five, how exciting. For my first three classes today I have Herbology, Charms and Potions. All three of my classes today are back to back, so I have no free periods.

After I get ready I head over to the great hall for breakfast and meet up with Blaise there. As I walk into the very full and loud great hall I spot Blaise at the end of our table waving me down to join him. As soon as I acknowledge him I saunter down to him in a cheery mood. I slide into an empty seat next to him making sure to bump my shoulder with his.

"Ready for this year?" I ask setting my bag down on the other side of me.

He grins with a nod as he passes me a bowl full of strawberries. "I'm actually quite excited for the Quidditch tryouts this year."

"Wow, I see someone took my advice into account huh?" I tease with a smile.

He rolls his eyes playfully in response.

After spending a decent amount of time with Blaise at breakfast I notice the students around us start to disperse. "Blaise I think we should get going" I announce as I look around the hall.

He nods in agreement and gets up. We exit the great hall and say our goodbyes as we head off to our first class of the day. For my first hour class I have Herbology with Luna and Neville. I honestly don't know if they're dating or not, but either way I often see them together, and they always look happy. As I walk into the greenhouse I spot Luna and Neville and take a seat in the empty chair that's in-between them, surely the spot that they were saving for me. Before class starts we each discuss what we did over summer break and share the exciting things we did.

After Herbology I head over to my Charms class and make sure to save a seat for Blaise. Having classes with Blaise is quite similar to having them with Draco. They're both attentive to the lesson and only slack off when they know the topic well. Which happens more often than not. Charms class was pretty simple, it was only the first day back after all.

Finally my last class, the class where I finally get to see Draco, Potions. I walk into the classroom and spot him on the far right of the room with a vacant seat next him. When he notices me approaching I start to see a small smile grow on his face.

"Hello Draco" I greet as I take a seat next to him.

"Hello y/n, how're your classes far?"

"They're fine and to be honest, this class is the one I've been looking forward to all day" I respond with a smile.

"Why's that?"

I roll my eyes.

"Well because of Snape of course" I beam sarcastically. He crosses his arms and raises a brow. "I've been looking forward to this class all day because I get to see you idiot" I respond seriously this time.

He proceeds to uncross his arms and place his elbow down onto the desk allowing his chin to rest on his hand. "Could one say that you missed me?" he taunts.

I hum. "One could say that, but they'd be wrong" I reply with a light grin. Snape starts class and conversations around the room start to die off. Merlin, I forgot how slow he speaks, this'll be a long class alright. I sit back in my chair letting out a loud sigh as I mentally prepare for a boring lecture, just then I feel Draco's warm hand ease on top of mine, I look over at him with a small smile and see that he's 'focusing' on the lecture with a small smirk on his face as our hands rest on my lap under the desk.

During the first week of school on Friday, after all my classes, I head off to the Quidditch field. Today's the Quidditch tryouts for Slytherin team and figured I'd go and see how Blaise does. I walk up to the stands and notice only three other Slytherins there as well, I decide to take a seat far up on the benches making sure to keep a distance between me and the other Slytherins. I catch Blaises eye as he stands surrounded by a group of Slytherins and immediately wave, he does the same and then quickly shifts his focus back to the team. Draco noticing this turns to the stands as well and scans them until he sees me, he then blows me a kiss and winks before turning his attention back to his group. I can't help but laugh what a Goof.

As the tryouts start Draco mounts his broom and goes off to search for the golden snitch while the captain gives the newbies instructions on where to place themselves on the field. Blaise gets placed as keeper for a couple of rounds and quickly gets changed to chaser. I noticed that Blaise seemed be doing a better job in the chaser position rather than the keeper position. I think the captain noticed this as well since he kept him there for the remainder of the tryouts.

Once the tryouts end I walk down to the field and meet the boys. I honestly would've hugged them, but they were both stinky and sweaty, so I'd rather not.

"So how were tryouts?" I ask turning to Blaise as all three of us walk across the field.

"I'd say great considering he made it on the team" Draco announces as he throws his arm over Blaises shoulder.

"Wow that's great!" I beam "What position?"

"Chaser" Blaise announces with a grin.

"I'm so happy for you, it'll be great fun coming to watch the both of you play".

"It will, I'll make sure to show Draco up each game" he jokes.

Draco scoffs in response. "In your dreams."

We arrive at the common room and take a pause before we ascend the stairs.

"Alright well I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow then" Blaise says before heading up the stairs.

"Wait!" I shout. "Draco and I were going to head over to Hogsmeads after tryouts, would you like to come with?"

Blaise stops and turns back with a small smile. "No thanks Y/n, I'm kinda tired, those tryouts weren't all that easy" he responds with a small laugh. "Plus I know how you two like your alone time" he says with a wink before walking up the steps.

"Blaise, that's disgusting!" I shout up the stairs as he disappears into the second floor hallway.

"Just saying the truth" he shouts back.

I roll my eyes and turn to Draco who's laughter begins to die down. "What's so funny?" I ask glaring at him.

"Nothing" he states clearly trying to suppress his laugh. "Meet me back here in twenty?" he asks fiddling with my arm.

"I suppose, but if you're not here on time I will leave" I tease crossing my arms.

He leans in and kisses my forehead. "I don't doubt that" he smirks.

After Draco and I are done getting ready we head off to Hogsmeade and along the way try to decide on where we want to go. I jokingly suggest Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop to which Draco responds with a concerned look, he knows I don't see the appeal to that tea shop, it literally looks like a rainbow threw up in there. We ultimately decide on our go to spot: The Three Broomsticks.

We head inside and take a seat at a cozy booth in the corner of the pub and to my surprise Draco sits next me rather than across. He always sits across, but instead of questioning it I decide to embrace it. "I love you Draco" I say as I rest my head on his shoulder.

I reach over for his hand and intertwine his with mine allowing them to rest on my lap. "I love you too" he whispers leaning his head against mine. I love our little moments like this, when everything in the world feels right. Sure going out to Hogsmeade on the weekends is something we've been doing for awhile now, but every time feels even better than the last.

The waiter eventually made comes around to our table and asks for our order. We order the usual, two butterbeers, one for each of us.

"Any news on the Christmas situation?" I ask lifting my head off his shoulder to face him. As I ask this I feel the hand that I'm holding onto start to tense up.

"No, I'm sorry" Draco mumbles. "I have to ask my father when he isn't in such a dick mood" he seethes.

Ugh, his dad seems like a real piece of work. I rub my thumb against the back of his hand soothingly. "Well what about your mum, what does she think?"

He takes a deep breath and unintentionally relaxes his grip on my hand. "Mum's actually quite excited to meet you, she said she'll try to help me convince father about having you over for Christmas next year."

Aw how sweet she actually wants to meet me as opposed to her husband. I wonder what Narcissa's like, from what I've heard from Draco she's clearly nothing like his father. Though, Draco isn't entirely fond of her, he always blames her for the shitty childhood he had. He claims that if she would've had more courage to leave his father, he would've had a better childhood, so from what I understand Draco tolerates her.

Once we finish our butterbeers we head out of the pub and walk back to the castle. As we arrive in the common room we stop at the foot of the stairs.

"Goodnight Draco" I say pulling him into a hug as I kiss him. I let go to walk my separate way, but Draco catches my hand before I can leave. "Do you mind?" he asks softly as he points over to the direction of my room.

I raise a brow. "Mind for exactly what?"

He laughs. "Relax Y/n, I just wanna spend more time with you" he responds.

I look down at our intertwined hands and smile. "Ok, come on". We walk up the stairs and continue down to my room, I open the door to my empty room, (yes I still have my own room and I love it) and walk over to my dresser to pull out some warm Pj's, I hear Draco plop himself on my bed and turn back to see him already lying on my bed with one arm behind his head. I chuckle. "I'll be back" I announce as I walk into my bathroom with my Pj's in hand.

"You know you can change here, right?"he laughs shifting over to face me.

"Yes, I know, but I'd rather not with you here, no offense" I respond sweetly.

"Some offense is still taken." He responds.

"So dramatic" I tease closing the bathroom door.

Once I've changed I head back out to my room and climb into my bed beside Draco. I feel his warm figure wrap around mine and can't help but smile.
