The next day all the selected students gathered in the Room of Requirement. Everyone was sitting in an awkward silence since, most of them only talked to each other a couple of times. Y/n was seated between Draco and Harry.

"So, any ideas?" Hermione asked breaking the silence.

"It's a Masquerade ball isn't it?" Blaise said. Everyone nodded.

"The Hufflepuffs can do the invitations." Suggested Trisha Buttermore. The other two Hufflepuffs nodded in agreement.

"The Ravenclaws can work on the music." Said a dreamy voice, Luna

"Well then the Gryffindors could do the food an-" Harry was cut off by Pansy.

"Slytherin is doing food and drinks" said Parkinson with a smug smile. Ron glared at her.

"Well that leaves us with the decoration." Said Ginny. Neville nodded.

"All right, that's set. Slytherin will oversee food and drinks. Gryffindor will take care of the decorations. Ravenclaw will sort out the music and Hufflepuff will be set the task of getting the word out. Feel free to do whatever you want within the rules. All right get to work then! Thank you for coming. Off you go!" Y/n finished the monologue with that everyone stood up to depart to their dorms or common rooms.

As the quartet were in front of the stairs. "Y/N!!!" the voice of Draco Malfoy made them all come to a halt.

"What is it Malfoy?" Ron asked annoyed.

"Well, I called for my wife. Not you..." Draco shot back. A light shade of red tinting on Y/n's cheeks. Draco suddenly bent a little down and kissed Y/n's cheek.

"Bye, love!" the blonde winked at her. Y/n stood there dumbfounded. Hermione started laughing. While Harry and Ron stood there with matching smirks plastered on their faces.

"Shut up!" Y/n hit Hermione on the head with a book and then proceeded to hit both the boys.

"Owww!!" the three bellowed in pain. Y/n smirked smugly.

"That's what you get."

----

In the common room, the quartet were enjoying Butterbeers, unexpectedly Ginny sauntered towards them.

"Harry, can I have your invisibility cloak?" she requested.

"Yeah, sure. Its in the third drawer to the left." Harry said.

"Where are you up to?" Y/n asked the redhead as she returned.

"To the Ravenclaw tower." Ginny shrugged.

"Why? To snog Luna? Harry asked teasingly taking a sip of his of his beer.

"Well, for your information. Yes." Making Harry choke and splutter out his drink. Hermione handed him a tissue, while Y/n and Ron doubled in laughter. Harry glared at the duo.

----

'Hogwarts is proud to present its first Masquerade Ball on the 1st of October this year from the hours of 6pm to midnight, we would appreciate that you choose to attend this festivity which we hope will get you in the mood for the following year. Please belong a masquerade of your choice & a date if you wish, please remember school rules still apply. We wish you all to have the best time you can possibly have & to just enjoy the night'

The above was the notice pinned upon house boards the next day and there was a buzz about in all Hogwarts. The Gryffindors were supposed to go to the Headmistress' office today to order materials for the decorations in the Great Hall.

Hermione was about to knock on the door but, Y/n straight away opened the door.

"Yo Minnie!" she greeted, "we got company." the girl said pointing to her fellow friends behind her.

"Her Y/n/n" the older woman greeted the girl, she then looked up, to see the stunned wide eyes and mouth agape faces of the students. McGonagall smirked and high-fived Y/n who was now standing beside her chair.

"Shut your mouths. Will ya?" McGonagall said to the others took seat on the opposite side of the table. After giving their list to the Headmistress, she immediately ordered Filch to get the items within minutes everything was there. The Gryffindors picked you the boxes and walked out of office.

"Inform me, if you need anything else!" Minerva shouted after them.

"We will!" Harry shouted back.

"Y/n Blac- Malfoy! why would you call a teacher by her nickname!?!" Hermione scolded her friend.

"Because I can." Y/n replied smugly. Ginny high-fived the Malfoy while the boys just smirked. Hermione rolled her eyes.

---

Today being a Sunday, the friends were just chilling in the Great Halls. Just then a first- year Slytherin tapped Y/n on the shoulder, she turned around.

"Yes, sweetheart?" Y/n asked the little girl. The little girl then pointed at Draco. "He told me to give this to you." The girl said handing Y/n a little note and then she ran away to her friends. Y/n curiously opened the note.

'Wanna go to Hogsmeade? – Draco'

Y/n saw Draco looking at her intently. A smile made way to her face and she nodded.

'Get ready in ten' Draco mouthed to her. She nodded enthusiastically, maybe a little too enthusiastically. She suddenly stood up and walked towards the girl dormitories, stunning her friends.

"What in the bloody hell happened?" Ron asked confused. Harry shrugged getting up to go after her but, Hermione pulled him down by his sleeve, "Malfoy." She said pointing to a lovesick Draco. When the blonde noticed their stares, he waved at them smiling. Harry frowned.

~~~

After getting ready, Y/n walked out of the dormitories to see Draco standing in the Gryffindor Common room talking with.... Harry, Hermione and Ron. All of them laughing together. Y/n's eyebrows furrowed in confusion yet, a smile still made its way on her face after seeing her husband and friends getting together. She ascended downstairs to the common room. Draco saw her out of the corner of his eyed, he immediately turned to face her.

"Darling, Ron was telling me about the twins' prank on you at the Burrow." Draco grinned. While the trio was smiling.

"Which one did he tell you about?" Y/n asked.

"The time they dyed your hair neon yellow while you were asleep." Y/n groaned recalling the memory.

"Yeah and accused Ron for it." Harry added. Ron rolled his eyes while Hermione wrapped her arms around Ron.

"Well, we gotta get going. See you later." Draco waved at the trio.

Y/n and Draco were walking to Hogsmeade not realizing they were holding hands.

"Where do you want to go first?" Y/n asked Draco.

"Maybe Three Broomsticks." Suggested Draco.

Draco opened the door for Y/n. They saw Ginny and Luna who waved at them. Both found a table, they ordered two butterbeers. Both were talking, Draco slowly reached out his hand and interlocked it with Y/n, both blushing

"Yesterday, I received a letter from Father..." Draco started but then paused.

"What is it about?" Y/n asked gripping his hand firmly.

"That......that all the Death-Eaters will be permanently imprisoned" Draco said with a hint of sadness. Y/n's eyes widened.

"No! they can't do that, you and Narcissa didn't do anything!" Y/n whisper shouted. "Nor did the families' of any of them."

"I'm don't think anything can be done." Draco whispered.

"I'm sure something will be done." Y/n rested her head on his shoulder, he then proceeded to wrap his arm around her.

----

After having Butterbeers, the couple went to Honeydukes, where they bought tons of candies and sweets for their friends. Y/n hadn't forgotten Draco's favorite Crystalized pineapple.

"You still remember them." Draco asked gesturing to the sweet in her hands.

"How could I forget." She said

Then proceeded to get Ron, his favorite Cauldron cakes, Apple rings and Chocolate frogs.

----

Then the proceeded to walk to Tomes and Scrolls, from there she bought Hermione the books she'd been rambling for a whole month, Far from the maddling crowd by Thomas Hardy and Mansfield Park by Jane Austen.

----

Lastly, they went to Dervish and Banges to get Harry and Blaise new broom polishing kits.

After done with their shopping, both of them returned to Hogwarts.

Draco turned around to see, Casandra Matthews hot on his tail. She was a sixth year obsessed with Draco Malfoy, rumors said she was planning to drug him with Amortentia.

He pushed Y/n into a wall, her eyes widened at the sudden act.

"Kiss me." Draco said.

"Why?" Y/n asked eyebrows furrowed

"Casandra Matthews..." he said gesturing to the blonde coming their ways

Y/n didn't need to be asked twice. She pushed her lips against and kissed him deeply, he kissed back just as passionately. At this point they were practically making out in public. Out of the corner of her eye, Y/n saw the girl run away dramatically. After seeing her run away like that both of them chuckled.

When they reached inside, Y/n hugged Draco goodbye and kissed his cheek as usual.

She entered the Gryffindor Common room to see Ron and Harry playing, Wizards' Chess while Hermione was reading a book.

"Hey mates!" she greeted walking in with bags. Ron was the first one to pounce on her after seeing the Honeydukes bag. She handed him his respective bag. He hugged her tightly and kissed her cheeks, then walked away to the couch with his bag to eat.

After that she handed Harry his, Dervish and Banges bag.

"Oh, you didn't." Harry said grinning ear to ear.

"Oh, I did." Harry hugged her tightly. Hermione was smiling at the pair, she always thought they would end up together, but as it is she was happy seeing her friends happy.

Y/n then proceeded to hand Hermione her bag. Hermione opened it her mouth agape.

"You like it?" Y/n asked flashing her signature smirk.

"Like it? No! I love it!" Hermione pounced on Y/n, making her fall back on the beanbag. Hermione mumbled an apology and helped her stand up.

"I love you!" she exclaimed before hugging her tightly. Ron who had chocolate smeared across his face hugged both girls. Harry joined in.

1 Week later...

Right now, Hermione and Y/n were mow getting ready to go for dress shopping with Luna and Ginny. They had settled on going to Madam Malkin's at Diagon Alley. The girls met Ginny and Luna near the Ravenclaw tower. They were all set to go.

"Guys, I'll be back in 5." Y/n said rushing away. Ginny groaned.

Y/n found Draco near the Quidditch pitches with Theo Nott. Draco excused himself when he saw his best girl.

"What color are your dress robes?" she asked looking at him.

"But I never asked you?" Draco said in mock confusion. She lightly hit him on the arm. Then an idea popped into her head.

"Well, I'll go ask Harry." Y/n shrugged as she turned away. Draco immediately pulled her into him. "Not Pottah!" he groaned.

"They're black" Draco said still holding her flush against him. Y/n smiled at his antics.

"Don't you wear a color except black." She frowned.

"Guess I look hot in it" he winked. Y/n flipped him off walking away. He turned away smiling to himself.

He fell for the right person...

Y/n returned to the sight of Luna and Ginny snogging against a wall while, Hermione looked disgusted.

"Your acting like you don't do that with Ron?" Y/n said pointing to the couple. Hermione blushed pink.

"Break It Up! Let's Go!" Y/n yelled over to the girls. Ginny smirked while Luna turned crimson. Just then a Ravenclaw came over to them, with a bouquet of flowers. He stood in front of Y/n and got on one knee dramatically.

"Will you go to the ball with me, Ms. Blackwood?" her eyes widened. Ginny burst out laughing, while Hermione stood their wide eyed. Luna seemed calm.

Y/n saw Draco charging at the poor guy. Not just Harry and Ron, but the whole court now had their attention on the guy.

"Get away from her you mewling quim!" Draco said as he charged towards the Ravenclaw, Ron trying to hold him back. Whilst the Ravenclaw ran away. Draco scoffed.

"Let's go" Luna ushered them out of Hogwarts.

When they reached Madam Malkin's. Ginny and Luna had planned to get matching dresses, while Y/n was selecting a dress for her witty friend.

"How bout the yellow one?" Y/n said lifting a shimmering mustard yellow dress. Hermione shook her head in no. Y/n then saw Hermione eyeing a long grey dress.

"Go on, try it." Y/n said shoving her the dress. Hermione looked flawless in it.

"That's it, this is the one." Hermione chuckled looking at herself in the mirror.

They saw Ginny and Luna arguing over the shades of their dresses. Y/n rolled her eyes.

Y/n had started to look for a dress for herself. She turned around to see the other side of the store to see, a perfect black dress. It was long and elegant. The moment she saw it, she knew this was a dress made for her.

Once the girls were done shopping, they went to Florean Fortescue's Ice- cream parlor.

After their shopping spree, they returned to Hogwarts. It was almost time for lunch so they, put their bags in their respective dorms and headed to the Great Hall. Y/n took her usual seat next to Harry opposite Ron.

"How was shopping?" Harry asked the girls.

"Brilliant!" Y/n said mocking Harry, who playfully hit her. Ron sniggered. Hermione smiled.

"By the way, we invited Draco for a sleepover in the Gryffindor Common Room?" Ron smirked. Hermione choked on water.

"You did what?!" Y/n exclaimed as she kicked Ron's shin from under the table but it hit Hermione.

"Owww..." Hermione winced.

"Sorry" Y/n mumbled sheepishly. This time Harry kicked Ron on the shin on the place of Y/n. He high- fived the girl.

"But why would you do such a thing?" Y/n asked seriously.

"That guy needs some fun. Okay?" Harry said. Ron nodded in agreement, "Besides we are great friends with him." Ron piped in. Y/n scoffed but was happy anyways.
