(y/n) - your name

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

To say the least, being nervous was an understatement. (y/n) was pacing her bedroom, trying not to ruin the hair that was done up so nicely by the house elves. It was almost time to go to the evening festivities, the girl wearing her black gown with a white fur coat on top, her black lace gloved hands, playing with the hem of her dress. She didn't know why she was so nervous, maybe it was because she would be seen with the Malfoy's in public, maybe it was because it had been a long time since she had been out in the community in person. She always stayed indoors, summoning things she needed. She didn't want to risk being noticed outside so she stayed in her apartment, never leaving.

"It'll be fine... right?"

"I'll make sure you stay safe (y/n)." the girl quickly turns around to find Draco as he smiled by the now open doorway, a sheepish look that expressed how he didn't mean to overhear her. He looked over her, admiring how pretty she looked in the dim orange glow of the candles. 

"It's just... I haven't been out in the town for a while... and what if someone sees us and tells your father and-" the boy walks over to the anxious girl, moving to hold her hands.

"-we will be fine. We have a private tent that is away from the other families. And if someone did see us, it'll be fine. Mother told father you're the daughter of one of her friends. A little white lie that shouldn't raise any suspicions." Draco explains, tapping (y/n)'s chin up before pecking her lips sweetly. "But if you don't want to go-"

"-I want to go. Really." she quickly says, her boyfriend nodding with a smile. 

"If anytime you want to come home early, let mother know and she'll bring us back. It will be no problem at all. Ready princess?" the boy asks and his girlfriend nods eagerly in excitement. 

"Are you kids ready?" the two hear Narcissa call downstairs and they quickly rush down, holding hands at the bottom of the stairs which the older woman grins at. "Alright, one on either side come on now." she urges them, taking hold of each of their hands, squeezing tight for safety before apparating away to the festival grounds. 

"Yep, not used to that..." (y/n) groans out from the sick feeling in her stomach when the world around her rapidly changed from the inside walls of the Malfoy Manor to the outdoor night sky and green fields.

"Here, nausea pills that wizards take to ease the travel sickness." Narcissa hands the girl a bottle of store-bought pills and she thanks her, looking over the high hill they were on to see the colourful festivities in full glow below them. There were carnival games and stalls of various foods and trinkets, wizards roaming around amongst performers on stilts and professional flyers that flew around in the sky with sparklers trailing behind them.

"Woah..." (y/n) was in awe of the view, seeing the many game stalls and rides there were.

"Let's settle down in our tent first then we can go down to the festival." Draco chuckles lightly, pulling his girlfriend away from the edge and taking her down the winding path to the field of where tents were set up. 

He holds her hand tightly, keeping her by his side as they walked past other wizard families. He noticed how she had her head down, not looking at anyone as they all gave nasty looks to the Malfoys. He knew they were never liked but his father always told him to ignore them and remind them that they were inferior to him, inferior to the Malfoys. It bothered him sometimes how much people didn't like him but mostly ignored it as his father told him to but it didn't mean he wasn't hurt by it. 

And definitely, now he didn't want (y/n) to be hurt by it too...

They arrive at the tent that was on a platform behind the other tents, standing higher above them and bigger and more luxurious. The inside was just as magnificent with ornate furniture and large bedrooms of the softest material, bowls of fruit and foreign food.

"Here, let me." Draco takes (y/n)'s coat from her shoulders, letting his cold fingers brush against her neck and making her shudder. He smirks as he walks to hang the coat away while she takes her gloves, setting them down on the table as she turns to look at how handsome he looked. He was wearing his black avant-garde suit like he did before at the Quidditch World Game.

"Now you two enjoy yourself but stay safe. The fireworks start at midnight for new years."

"Yes, mother." the boy nods, taking hold of his Puffs hand and running out of the tent to head down to the festival. 

"Hold on Draco!" she gasp out, catching up with him as she ran. The slytherin couldn't help the smile grow on his face as he heard the Hufflepuff next to him whoop out in joy as they raced down the hill together, the wind blowing through her hair as the silver peacock pin glittered from the lights in her hair. "Last one there is a rotten egg!" she screams out as she bolts past him, a grin breaking through as he laughed out happily.

"You're so on Puff!" he yells back, speeding down the winding hill after her and winning easily (y/n) gasps as she tried to slow down when she got near the end, Draco quickly catching her when she charged right into him but he managed to hold them both up. He chuckled as he held her shoulders, rubbing her arms and brushing her hair back as she watched her breath. "Lucky I won first so I could catch you huh?"

"I let you win! I didn't think it would be fair to use my powers." she huffs out, her boyfriend pinching her red cheeks and she smacks his hands away while he laughs lowly.

"Sure you did princess." the Slytherin moves to take the Hufflepuff's hand, leading her through the many games and stalls while dodging the performers. 

They spent the entire time together winning toys-mostly with (y/n) cheating and using her powers or helping Draco unknowingly so his ego grows-and trying exotic foods that interested them. (y/n) tugs onto Draco's hand to lead him to the many stalls that caught her attention, looking at clothes or jewellery or random wizardry items. She had to stop him from buying almost everything she looked at all, begging him not to and he promised he wouldn't but made a mental note to spoil her later on and buy them later. 

It was something that made him frown seeing how his Puff didn't like being spoiled, didn't like things being bought for her. She was so used to only taking what was necessary to live day by day, she never bought anything for herself for fear of being investigated if too many things went missing. She saw it as a waste of money, that she didn't deserve all the beautiful and fancy luxuries of life but Draco thought otherwise. He knew (y/n) deserved everything, deserved all the beautiful things in the world. He would spoil her every chance he could get.

The couple went on different rides, the both of them a little scared of going on the fast and dangerous rollercoasters so they stuck to haunted houses and a Ferris wheel. "Look, you can see our tent from up here!" (y/n) points out the window of the Ferris wheel when it stopped at the top, Draco staring at her with so much adoration. "You can see the stars up here too! The view is so beautiful."

She's the most beautiful view...

The Slytherin squeezes the Hufflepuff's knee and she turns to look at him before he moved close to her, taking in her wide doe eyes and flushed cheeks from the cold wind blowing through the window. "Can I kiss you?" he was almost breathless being this close to her, surrounded by that sweet floral scent that always drew him in. She nods softly, leaning up to him and he quickly delved down closer to kiss her softly, his free hand holding her jaw gently. Draco slowly moved back, opening his eyes to see (y/n) open hers with a smile, not realising the Ferris Wheel brought them back to the ground until the door opened. 

They quickly got out, holding hands and giggling like foolish children sneaking around, running out of the festival grounds and back up to the winding hill. Instead of heading back to their tent, the kids ran further around the opposite side and up the hill to an empty field. They moved to sit down near the edge, waiting for the fireworks to blast in the sky for the new year. 

"Here... you must be freezing." Draco took his blazer off noticing (y/n) shiver with goosebumps showing up on her arms and drapes it over her shoulders.

"Draco you didn't have to-" she blushes as he moves her closer to his side, holding the jacket around her to keep her warm. The kids suddenly could hear the wizards down below them countdown, shifting closer and jumping from the first firework blasting in the sky followed by another and another.

(y/n) gasps in surprise from the colourful view, taking in the bright blasts that speckled the night sky in different shapes and sizes. Draco watched the fireworks with her before moving to look at her instead, watching how the colourful lights danced in the reflection of her glasses and coloured her skin beautifully with different hues. He moved forward and held her chin with one of his hands before kissing her again. He revels in her soft gasp from the heated kiss, their lips moving together as shudders of heat rushed through them both.

(y/n) kissed back quickly, her hand holding Draco's cheek as he kissed her deeper with his other hand holding onto her waist as if to ground him and make sure he didn't fly away with the fireworks. "Draco..." she whispers softly against his lips as they broke apart for air, him shuddering from the way his name sounded from her pillowy lips that he gently pulled against with his teeth before he kissed her again. His hand moved to thread through her hair, groaning softly against her as she gasps his name again for him when he squeezes her waist. 

They were in their own little world together, surrounded by the colourful fireworks and the sudden burst of gold light with fireflies circling around them. "Happy New Year (y/n)..." The Slytherin boy whispers against his Hufflepuffs lips, his heart jumping in his chest as she nuzzles her nose against his and he fell more in love with her at this moment.

"Happy New Year Draco..."
