(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey princess." Draco smiles from (y/n)'s bed when she walks in while drying her hair with a towel, an uneasy smile on her face which he quickly picks up. "(y/n), what's wrong?" it startles her every time that her boyfriend was able to pick up on when she wasn't ok, letting her know he was there for her when she wanted to talk.

But she didn't know if she could talk about Dumbledore's Army to him.

The golden trio asked her to promise not to tell anyone.

Including her boyfriend.

"It's... what do you think about Umbitch and her teaching DADA?"

"A load of rubbish actually." he sighs out, opening his arms for his Puff to climb into bed with him, letting her lay on top of his chest after throwing her towel on a chair. "I might have thought otherwise but knowing what happened at the trials, what happened to you, we need to be able to fight against You-Know-Who." The Hufflepuff looks at her boyfriend in surprise that he agreed with her, the golden trio telling her specifically that he might not join the cause.

"Are you serious?" the Slytherin looks down at his girl, her eyes wide with hesitation.

"I am but what's wrong?" he could tell she was thinking something over, something serious that she wasn't sure she could tell him so he waited for her when she was ready.

"Harry, Hermione, Ron and I are starting a group to have Harry teach us. In secret, so Umbitch won't know."

"Really!?" Draco was completely concerned now, his mind racing with thoughts of his girlfriend being caught or hurt again. "But-"

"-we need to know how to defend ourselves Draco." (y/n) urges him, watching how he was thinking it over.

"Ok." He nods. "I agree. I just don't want anything to happen to you."

"Nothings going to happen to me Draco. I'll be careful." he looks at the girl in front of him wearily, seeing how she beamed up at him and even though his heart swelled with love for her, his mind was screaming with fears and worries. "I promise you." she pulls up her pinky and those screams in his head start to fade away as he pulls his own pinky up to curl around hers.

"You better. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you." his words made her heart flutter while a silent itch irritated him in the back of his mind. He didn't know what it was but it felt like something bad might happen in the future and he didn't like it.

"I'm not going anywhere." he smiles at her response, pulling her close to kiss her, leaning his forehead on hers after. "So about the plan.

~~~~~~~~

"Where are you taking me?" (y/n) stumbles lightly as Draco covered her eyes from behind her, carefully leading her to a surprise he had for her.

"You'll see princess. Just a couple more steps." he smiles as he stops her at their destination, urging her to keep her eyes closed when he walks away from her. "Ok! Open your eyes!" the Slytherin picks up two pairs of shoes as his Puff opens her eyes to see the Black Lake frozen over due to the cold winter season.

"Why the lake-" the Hufflepuff notices the ice skates her boyfriend was holding, paling at the idea. "Draco, I've never ice-skated before!"

"Well, then I get to teach you!"

"Is the lake even safe to skate on?" she was trying so hard to back out of the activity, terrified of falling into the water.

"Everything will be fine (y/n). I won't let you go ok." Draco chuckles seeing (y/n) pout as she sits down on a log and he drops down next to her, helping her tie up her laces for the skates after fixing on his own. He stands up easily and holds his hand out to her girlfriend, pulling her up as she wobbles on her feet. "Come on." he laughs lowly, holding both her hands as he leads them onto the lake, her legs stumbling all over the place until he held her tightly to his chest.

"Draco I don't think I can do this..."

"You'll be fine. Just keep your legs straight and at shoulder width. Now hold my shoulders." the Slytherin helps his Puff stand straight, her hands holding his shoulders tight while he held her waist. He started skating backwards easily, letting her glide with him slowly. "That's it, you're doing it!" she gasps in excitement, looking down at her feet until he taps her chin up so she would look at him. "Eyes on me princess ok." he didn't want her to get scared when he skated a little faster, taking in her excitement when she stays steady on her feet.

"I'm doing it!" she gasps out in happiness, letting her boyfriend pull her along. He suddenly moves further back as he holds her hands, squeezing her hands to let her know he hasn't let her go yet.

"Just one foot in front of the other, that's my good girl." (y/n) blushes deeply from Draco's words, looking at him as he smirks at her. 

"Wait Draco don't!" she panics when she feels him start to let her hands go.

"You can do it. I know you can!" he grins when he glides away, chuckling at how his Puff stood so still while just gliding in one direction, afraid to move. She looks over at him as he easily skates over the ice almost majestically, his hands behind his back and just skating around her in circles and zigzags.

"Draco!" she complains, struggling to turn around to not hit a tree and he grabs her arm to pull her away. 

"Remember, just push forward, one foot in front of the other." (y/n) tries to do just that, moving her feet but she gasps when she stumbles, flailing around and screeching when she falls over. "(y/n)!" Draco quickly catches her but he falls with her as well, his hand cradling her head when they hit the ice. "Are you ok?" he gasps with concern, looking down at his Puff who huffs in slight pain but nods.

"I'm ok." the Hufflepuff looks up at her boyfriend, chuckling and he soon laughs with her. The couple laughs together at the mishap, the skytherin leaning his forehead against his girlfriends shoulder before kissing her cheek while rubbing her head. 

"I think that's enough ice skating for now."

"Maybe." Draco carefully gets up, holding his hand out for (y/n) to help her up but when he pulls her up, she slams against him and the both of them fall over again. "Shit Draco!"

"I'm ok." he groans out softly, looking up to see his girlfriend kneeling over him and he didn't know if he hit his head but he swore she was glowing. She beamed down at him with the sun shining behind her, tucking her hair behind her ears before lenaing up to kiss her.

"Can we go, I'm freezing my ass of out here..." the slytherin laughs at his girlfriends remark, noding before the two slowly got up again and carefully skated to the edge of the frozen lake to get off. While the Hufflepuff was unlacing the shoes, she noticed her boyfriend perk up, picking up on a sound that piqued his interest and he walked off. "Draco? What-where are you going!?" she calls out, quickly putting her boots back on and carrying the ice skates carefully, running after him.

"Do you hear that?" she quietens down to listen to what he meant, the couple picking up on faint animal cries.

"Is that a kitten!?" they rush over to the sound, parting a bush to see a grey kitten shivering in the snow. It meows softly, hissing at the couple until Draco goes to pick it up carefully and it eases in his arms. "Oh the poor thing..." (y/n) scratches the kitten softly and it whines softly, rubbing against her hand she had heated up so it would stop freezing. "Let's take it back to the castle." Draco nods, the couple walking all the way back to the castle while the kitten snuggled into the boys arms. "It really seems to like you."

"I prefer cats over dogs anyway." he hums, petting the grey kitten as they went back to the Slytherin commonroom.

"I always thought you would be a cat person." his Puff muses and he just smiles at her.

"Hey (y/n)!" Draco's friends all call out to her, waving from the couches and she waves back as her boyfriend sets the kitten down carefully on an empty armchair.

"What's with the rat?" Pansy asks, squinting at the tiny cat that squirms away from everyone.

"Found this poor thing out in the cold." (y/n) says, the boys cooing at the adorable kitten that meows at them. 

Who knew the kitten would end up becoming the Slytherin mascot.

The Great Hall was filled with loud chatter as students either talked with friends or worked on some assessments. The weekends were always more lively, groups sitting together and just mucking around. (y/n) was sitting with a group of students she was forced to work with for a group project, mainly gryffindors and slytherins who didn't want to do anything. She sighs as she yells at the students to shut up and do their part, them jumping in their seat and doing what they were ordered to do.

Draco watched with amusement at how his girlfriend was terrifying when she wanted to be, walking up to her to make sure she didn't accidentally kill anyone with her anger bubbling beneath the surface. "Hey princess." he whispers against her neck, sitting down next to her and draping an arm behind her chair. His puff was too busy doing the work and trying to get the group under control to notice him taking a pen from her (something that she bought from a muggle shop), taking her arm to mindlessly draw on it.

Draco frowns lightly seeing the faint streaks on (y/n)'s arm as he draws on her, her sleeves rolled up to her elbow to reveal them stretching over her. He presses a kiss against her skin, earning her attention from the ticklish feeling and she looks over to see him write his name all over her.

"What are you doing?" she chuckles lightly, seeing her boyfriend write his name all over her to show others that she was his.

"Now everyone knows who you belong to." He grins mischievously, brushing his fingers against her blushed cheeks. "Now you four, get your shit done like (y/n) asked you!" he yells at the group and they scramble to get the rest of the group project done as he takes his girlfriend away for a nap.
