Hey everyone, so today is this celebration/ festival called Holi in India where people celebrate it with smearing each other's faces with organic colors or 'Gulal' that comes from packets and pouring water on them. Holi is celebrated to honor the Hindu god Lord Krishna and is also referred to as the festival of love. Fun fact: Holi is my FAVORITE celebration ever since I was a little kid, it's simply awesome :)

Ever since you were a little kid, you've always loved Holi. The fun and the exhilarating feeling of just pouring colors, colored water and water on people around you and trying to dodge their attacks, you and your loved ones having a little competition of who gets water poured on them first and stuff like that. It was the best feeling for you in the world and you would do NOTHING to miss it

You were starting the countdown for the wonderful and beautiful festival of colors and love, and soon it was time for Holi. Luckily this time Holi fell on a Sunday and you were really glad that you had a day off for celebrating your favorite festival. The others in your class, your friends already knew how excited you were about Holi, you just couldn't stop gushing to them about it and they decided to help you out with having the best time of your life, especially one person in particular

It's not like Draco was obsessed with you or anything. Okay, scratch that, maybe he was obsessed with you but it was just because he admired you and he had feelings for you that were much much deeper than love. And what better way for him to confess his feelings for you and make you be his for eternity than on the day of the festival of love itself? It would be the perfect opportunity to bind the two of you together and frankly, he was getting rather annoyed and irritated seeing you become so chummy and friendly with Saint Potter, the Blood traitor and the Mudblood lately. They weren't good influences on you, you needed someone who could be your mentor, friend and a loving and caring husband

So when he heard how excited you were about Holi since you told him about it, he smiled to himself, feeling rather honored and proud that you'd confessed your desires to him. You actually trusted him with something as important as your feelings, he would surely not let you down. So, his mind started to work on an idea to make you happy, what if you celebrated Holi with him and his family? His mother adores you and as for Lucius, he just doesn't care unless you're a pure blood that hypocrite

At first you were kind of surprised that Draco of all people suggested something like this and you joked if he was replaced by some sort of body snatcher or something. He chuckled at your choice of words and told you it would be all right and a wonderfully cultural enriching experience for all of you to learn more about your culture but you would have to play it outdoors so the property wouldn't get damaged. You looked at him with surprise for a few seconds till you hugged him and thanked him for it. Draco blushed and his face was dusted with a faint blush but he relished in the moment wishing that it never ended

Too bad the bell rang and you had to get going to class. Soon it was the day of Holi and you and Malfoy went to his house for a few days with special permission from his dad to Dumbledore. After you were made at home and received a warm welcome from his mother, the things for Holi were already set and ready for you to enjoy and have fun with. Draco already pre planned everything and explained things to his parents in a letter about you coming to visit and how it was Holi and he wanted you to have a good experience. Looks like you'd have to play Holi with your parents some other day since Draco had no intention of letting you leave him

Though he's already done his research and homework about Holi he wants to hear more about it from you since you look so adorable and endearing when you explain something that you're so passionate about. The way your eyes light up like stars in the sky and a soft smile forms on your face, you look truly beautiful. You told him about the legends of why Holi is celebrated and he finds it all very fascinating

He isn't really fond of the idea of getting doused from head to toe with water and color that may or may not come off but he's willing to part take for your happiness. And he also made a mental note to have some blankets and warm food for you after you're done. And some hot water to rinse off with after the festivities are done. He doesn't want you catching a cold after all, he cares deeply for you. You came up to him and applied some color on his cheek when he was thinking about how to ask you out and confess his feelings for you

"Happy Holi Draco, thank you so much for organizing this for me, I really appreciate it. It really means a lot'' you smiled at him and hugged him and he could have sworn he died and went to heaven at that point. So he took you by the hand where the colors were being kept and applied a little on your cheek softly as his thumb caressed your cheek lovingly and softly and he gazed into your eyes and smiled "Happy Holi Y/N'' and you had to admit, people were right about Holi being the festival of love since you were clearly starting to get some feelings for him

You both had your fun with your Water guns also known as Pichkarees and Draco decided it was time to stop since he didn't want you catching a cold. He may or may not have had something to do with emptying the rest of the water supply when no one was looking but in his defense, it was only to make sure you wouldn't fall sick by playing more, he doesn't want to stop you from having your fun. But if your fun involves your health just know, he will save you from yourself as well

Holi was finally done and before things could get wrapped up, he applied a bit of your favorite color on your cheek again and stared at you and spoke "Y/N, my star, there is something I need to tell you and I can't keep it a secret much longer. From the very first time I saw you, I admired you and as I got to know more about you, I fell in love with that wonderfully kind and admiring personality of yours. There's no time as perfect as this to let you know how much I love you and I would please request you to give time to think about the matter. If you choose not to accept me I shall graciously step back but you will always hold a special place in my heart, one that no one will ever fill'' he spoke with his face becoming a bit redder and redder after each sentence he spoke

If it were a different situation, you found it extremely hilarious and comical but you were also kind of flattered and you were starting to grow feelings for him so you leaned in and kissed his cheek much to his immense surprise and happiness. He didn't expect that at all from you but he felt pleased. He brought you some fresh towels and warm blankets after you had a nice warm shower and he handed you some warm things to eat and drink along with a bunch of your favorite sweets. You decided to nap for a while since playing Holi and taking a nice hot shower can be pretty exhausting at times) and Malfoy brushed a few strands from face as he kissed your head softly and held you in his arms

During the evening there were some fireworks as well being displayed at the manor specially for you and don't even ask me how he managed to do that and you enjoyed it quite a lot. You also shared your first kiss with him that night and Holi truly did live up to it's name of being the festival of love. Love was in the air and he promised himself that he'd always protect his darling star from this dangerous world. He loved his first Holi with you and after you both get married, you could have all the fun you want by playing Holi with him, you don't need anyone else other than him. You can actually see the lovesick gaze in his eyes and now that he had you, he was never going to let you leave him, he couldn't bear to be without you. You have no idea what you've just gotten yourself into
