→ After the war, Draco had been determined to learn as many things about muggles as he could. Maybe it was to get rid of the toxicity he had been fed for years or just to tell himself he could improve. Taking up a muggle studies course, donating as much as he could, you thought it was high time he did something lighter— something he could enjoy.

→ That's where the idea to introduce him to muggle songs came from. Buying a pair of earphones and an iPod, you downloaded all kinds of music you thought he would like. He was surprised at first, you had only seen him listen to a few select songs. Laughing as you explained different genres, Draco began listening to them.

→ Within a few days, he became obsessed. You taught him how to make playlists. At first, they mainly consisted of songs he loved but slowly he got the hang of it. It made him happy, the music. And it never failed to remind him of you, of all the things you did for him.

→ He had gone through everything with you, highs and lows, you had graduated from being friends to dating to finally being engaged. You had loved him all the same and he couldn't be more thankful. Deciding a wedding gift was turning out to be hard, most people suggested jewelry or stones but he couldn't get behind that.

→ If he knew one thing about you, it was that you never really cared much for that sort of stuff. He had already bought the platinum bracelet which he had seen you eyeing one day but he wanted to do more. That's when Theo suggested creating a mixtape.

→ The idea was great but there was a problem. How was he to choose? Spending hours in his room, he added and scratched out different song names. Pestered his friend until he ran away. Nothing seemed perfect. He needed it to be perfect for you.

→ A month and sixteen hours later, he finally decided on an hour-long playlist adding a small letter for you to read before listening. Fidgeting with the box in his hand, he bit his lip before opening the door to your— his room. The wedding had gone smoothly. Being a small private ceremony, Draco hadn't expected it to be so great but it was. Every moment felt happier than the last.

→ You were sitting on the bed, reading notes left by your friends still in your wedding attire. Draco felt his breath hitch, it was dawning upon him he was married, to the person he adored and more than that— he got to call you his now. Smiling you looked up at him, your eyes flickering to the box in his hand.

→ "For you," he whispered as you curiously opened it, lightening up when you saw the tape. Opening the letter, you started to read it out loud.

→ 'My love, I don't remember the exact time I started loving you as much as I do. All I remember are a million happy moments which I spent with you in them, and I don't think I have ever wanted anything more from life. Thank you for agreeing to spend your life with me, I hope to cherish you until the day I die.'

→ You sniffed, running your finger through the list of songs. "Draco I love you," you said softly, cupping his face to kiss him firmly.

—lmk what you think!
