(y/n) - your name

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

Draco split from her and looked around at the jewellery that was displayed, eyes caught on a specific one. It was a chain necklace with a silver snake curled around an emerald gem, the green glinting brightly against the setting sun.

(y/n) finds some jewellery hidden in the back of the shop, scanning over the pieces until she finds a stunning black and gold ring. The band was thick with a black middle, the outlines filled with small yellow garnet gems and the inner ring a dark gold.

Entranced by the pieces of jewellery, both students buy it from the shopkeeper and walking out of the store with a small bag each.

"What did you buy?" (y/n) asks Draco when she noticed him holding a bag and he hides it.

"Uh, just another ring. You?"

"A necklace." the two of them lie, walking down the pathway until the Hufflepuff smells something really good. "I'm kinda hungry, wanna get something to eat?" she asks the Slytherin who nods, the both of them walking into a pink shop called Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop. The kids stop short when they see numerous couples sitting together in the booths but decide to ignore it, heading to a back booth hidden from the multiple pairs of eyes.

"Hello, dears! Welcome to my Tea Shop! What would you both like to have?"

"Uh, can I have some sweetened green tea and some sandwiches please." (y/n) asks, looking at Draco who was scanning the menu.

"I'll have the same but unsweetened green tea and some cakes instead of sandwiches."

"No problem! Coming right up!" the kids watch with amusement as their orders came flying towards them from the kitchen, a teapot pouring green tea in both cups before setting itself down on the table with the food on a towered tray.

The shop owner walks away as (y/n) pours some honey into her tea. "I didn't think you drank tea." she muses, looking up at Draco who was sipping from his cup.

"What? Did you think I drank something else? For your information, green tea is my favourite." he smiles at her, raising a brow as she stirs the honey in her tea with a spoon. "And you like yours sweet."

"You obviously like yours bitter. Like yourself." she snickers as the boy gasps, feigning hurt.

"Explains your sweet self." Draco smirks as he watches (y/n) blush behind her cup when she takes a sip, coughing lightly and looking away in embarrassment. He watches as she hums in bliss, her cardigan stretched over her hands that held the cup to relish in the heat.

"It's so cold now..." she shudders, trying to warm her fingers against the cup before eating some cake with her tea.

"At least it's warm inside the shops." he says and the girl in front of him nods in agreement, the both of them whispering about what they did at Hpsgmeade so far while they ate. Draco checks his watch and sees that it was almost time to head back to Hogwarts. "We should go. We have time to visit one more place before we go."

"Oh! Hold on." he watches as (y/n) finishes her tea quickly, summoning some gold coins to pay for their orders and leaving them on the table before walking out of the shop.

"Was that real or fake?" he asks, seeing the sly smile on the girl's face which makes him chuckle.

"Fake obviously. Like I have money."

"You thief." Draco shakes his head with a smile, following (y/n) to the Three Broomsticks Inn and the both of them sigh at the warmth of the shop compared to the cold outside. It was filled with students chatting together and the Hufflepuff immediately takes a picture of it, like she has been doing all day.

"(y/n)!"

"Draco!"

The kids look at their friends who called for them, glancing at the other briefly knowing they had to part ways and they walk away. "Hey, guys!" (y/n) waves at the golden trio who ushers her to the bar, Harry handing her a mug of butterbeer and she shudders from the immediate warmth.

"Try it! It's really good!" Hermione slurs lightly and the girl looks at her in shock.

"Is she drunk!?" the boys shrug and the Hufflepuff takes a sip of the hot drink, a warm sweetness soothing her from the inside. "Holy shit this is good!"

"Hermione thought so too. She's had three so far." Ron says and (y/n) quickly snatches the mug off her friend.

"That's enough for you." she gasps, Hermione pouting at her.

~~~~~~~~

"Wait, Professor Lupin knew your mother!?" Ron gasps as the golden trio plus (y/n) sat together in the carriage going back to Hogwarts, Harry talking to his friends about what he talked to the professor before (y/n) picked him up. Of course, he didn't tell the others about her picking him up since Hermione was still in the carriage. The Gryffindor girl was slightly out of it, a little tipsy as she pointed out to random things through the window and said facts about them. "She's just as talkative as she normally is..." Ron sighs out.

"I think it's funny." (y/n) chuckles lightly, taking out her camera. "Hermione, wanna look through the photos?" the girl nods eagerly, quietening down as she flicked through them.

"She's like the mother of the group." Harry whispers to Ron who agrees, the former looking out the window to see they were finally at Hogwarts. "(y/n)!" he whispers to the girl, pointing out the window and she quickly covers Hermione's eyes before making Harry invisible.

"Hey? Where's Harry?" she slurs, Ron and (y/n) snickering as Harry had to stay quiet. The Hufflepuff leans over to open the door, letting Harry out first before she jumped out.

"I'll see you guys later. Ron, look after Hermione please." he nods, carrying the woozy girl as (y/n) walks into the castle with Harry. The two of them look around and she drops her powers on him.

"Thank you so much for bringing me with you." He jumps to hug her tightly, earning snickers and ooh's from the other students who barged into the castle making them quickly step away from each other.

"Princess you wound us!" Fred says, pouting at (y/n).

"I thought we were your loves." George says, ruffling the girl's hair before she swats them away, the twins laughing as they walk away.

"I'm going to head to sleep. I'll see you tomorrow Harry."

"Goodnight (y/n)!"

"Goodnight!" the two split away, waving as they head to their common rooms.

~~~~~~~~

"Wait what's going on?" (y/n) says as her Hufflepuff prefect urges the students out of the common room and directs them to the Great Hall.

"Sirius Black! He's in the castle!" someone says, the students panicking but the prefects urge them to calm down and relax. The Hufflepuff girl was just confused by the sudden mass hysteria, pushed and shoved by other students as she stumbled against someone.

"Puff." she immediately knew who it was, looking up to see Draco before he grabbed her hand and pulled her next to him securely. Their hands were hidden by their long sleeve woollen jumpers, the students too worried about their safety to notice the two sticking close to each other. "Are you ok?" Draco asks with a frown on his face but (y/n) nods, looking around as she rubbed her eyes sleepily. He pulls her green and silver blanket around her shoulders tighter, keeping her warm as everyone walked into the Great Hall. The students all picked a spot, (y/n) sitting down on her sleeping bag with a frown until the golden trio walked up to her to take the next few sleeping bags next to her.

"Are you three ok? I heard Sirius Black was in the school." she whispers, Harry nodding and quickly explaining what happened.

"They're searching the entire school, even the common rooms." (y/n) pales, quickly snapping her fingers to hide all her muggle contraptions back in her apartment. 

Wait, I haven't seen my walkman in a long while!

Did I lose it?

Oh shit... if they manage to find it I'm screwed!

"Time to sleep students." the headmaster says, (y/n) slipping into her sleeping back with Hermione next to her. She turns around and nearly jumps when she sees Draco on her other side, complaining about this situation to his friends on his other side.

"Oh Puff." he smiles when he notices her, his complaints ceasing as he slips into his sleeping bag. "There was something I wanted to give you in the library today, before all this happened." Draco whispers, ducking his head when a teacher walks past them. (y/n) drapes her blanket over the both of them to keep them warm and also he could give her what he wanted to give her. "Your walkman. You left it up at the astronomy tower when we got back to school." the girl blushes when she feels his cold fingers brush against hers when he passes the walkman to her, pulling to keep it hidden in her sleeping bag.

"Thank you. I thought I lost it-" the kids duck beneath the blank and shut their mouths when another teacher walks by them, only their eyes visible above the fabric as they chuckle lightly. 

"We should sleep." Draco whispers, (y/n) nodding and she closes her eyes as she curls into a ball beneath her sleeping bag and the blanket. The Slytherin boy shifts closer when he feels her hands laying in front of her between them, closing his eyes to sleep. He reaches his hand out to entwine their fingers together beneath the blanket, their innocent handheld touch hidden away from the rest of the world as they slept together.
