Chapter Text
DramaQueen|: Draco's heading your way, good luck ;)
Bendyman|: shit, maybe this is a bad idea
DramaQueen|: even if you mess up stupidly Draco wouldn't care
Bendyman|: that didn't make me feel any better, in fact I probably feel worse.
Harry's POV
The homemade heart-shaped chocolates were clutched in left my hand and a basket filled with picnic snacks, plus a few other supplies were in my right hand.
This better go well, I hope.
The sun is close to setting when I finally have everything set up, Pansy told me a few minutes ago that Draco was heading down and my stomach exploded into even more nervous butterflies. Except these butterflies were more like wasps that make my insides burn.
The picnic is set up around the middle of the pitch, which means I'm standing here awkwardly waiting. I can't sit down because that would be rude, I think, so instead, I'm just standing here.
There are way too many emotions running through me, panic, excitement, nervousness, impatience and probably more.
Something alerts me to Draco's arrival, maybe it's a sound or just that I'm so aware of his presence. I wasn't looking at the entrance cos when I tried that I felt really uncomfortable and even more impatient.
I watch Draco approach, he has a nervous smile on his face that is probably mirroring my own expression. Draco's carrying his broom and I'm glad he brought his, mine is lying to one side of the picnic blanket.
I want to fly with Draco when we're not trying to through insults and hurt one another, I want to experience the high I get from flying with Draco. I get this feeling that if we fly together as we are now, I'll feel as light as a cloud and as free as the wind. That sounds sappy but it's how I feel.
Draco's has a small nervous smile on his face as he walks closer, the distance between us decreasing too fast, I don't know what I'm doing.
"Hi, Harry,"
"Hi," my voice is scratchy as though I haven't used it in weeks and I cough to get rid of it, then smile awkwardly up at Draco. He's a few inches taller than me and I suddenly envisage us kissing and me leaning up on my tiptoes to capture his lips. I blush heavily and beckon Draco to sit down on the picnic blanket with me.
"I brought some food that I made with the school's house elves, I hope you like it," I smile at Draco. I made some of his favourites, homemade chocolate is actually kinda hard to make but Draco loves sweets so I had to give it a try, I brought some regular sandwiches too cos I didn't want to just bring sweets.
"I brought you a green apple just because I remember you eating them all the time," I chuckle and hold out a green apple I brought just for fun.
"You noticed that?" Draco looks rather astonished.
"Well, I mean, I was watching you all the time whenever you were around me. And I did spend a whole year following you around, heh," I say awkwardly.
Draco smiles and bites into the green apple with a satisfying crunch and chews before swallowing. "It's a pretty good apple."
We eat and chat for around half an hour before I realise my left leg has pins and needles.
"Shit," I say trying to stand with that horrible feeling twisting through my leg.
"You good?"
"Ah yeah, I just have stupid pins and needles," I say while stomping my foot to get my blood flowing again.
Draco bursts out laughing and I glare and him, he just laughs harder. I look up at him, standing there laughing, his face is so open and free compared to the old Malfoy I used to know, I guess we really are fixing each other. I smile at him, oh god I want to kiss his laughing mouth.
I stare at his lips, my eyes are probably a little hazy. Draco stops laughing and looks right back at me. His eyes search mine for something and suddenly he reaches up with his hand and takes off my glasses. I can still see him but not quite as clearly.
"Hey, why'd you do that?" I protest weakly. He keeps quiet and just stares into my eyes.
"You have the most beautiful green eyes you know? It's really hard to see them properly with your glasses on." I blush and look down but he uses the hand still holding my glasses to tilt my head back up to look at him.
Then he leans down and softly presses his lips to mine.
My eyes are wide and staring into his closed lids, I press back and let my hand travel up his back so I can hold him as we kiss. We move our lips together in sync, my mind focused completely on his lips. I slide my tongue across the bottom of his lips and he lets me into his mouth.
This is the first kiss I've had that I've really felt throughout my entire body, it sends tingles to the tips of my toes. I smile into the kiss feeling like this is what it's meant to feel like. Not like Cho's salty wet and gentle kiss, or like Ginny's firey but still too soft kiss.
Draco's kiss isn't like any of that, it is hard and demanding yet it has a softness to it that feels completely right.
(A/n I went overboard with the kissing didn't I? :') )
We break apart gasping for air, I grin at Draco and he wacks me over the head.
"Ow!" I complain.
"Don't look at me like that," he says blushing. This feels more like the Draco I used to know, not quite in sync with how he feels but I almost prefer this Draco. He's feisty and I love that about him, he's not all soft edges. Draco has some sharp edges too and if you're not careful about them, they might stab you.
"Come on, let's fly!"
*I'm a lonely 16 yo and have never gone on a date, so I'm sorry that this is terrible lol*

Hermione's pov
"So how'd you think their date went?" Pansy asks me.
"They're fine, they've been through a lot to get this far so I'm sure they can get through a date too," I say slightly annoyed.
"I guess you're right about that, hey.. who do you think is the top out of those two?"
"I think that's their choice and we don't need to know," I say even more annoyed. I'm a fan of the Draco and Harry relationship but I thought I had more in common with pansy than that.
"But aren't you curious? I can imagine it both ways hmm.."
"I thought we were meant to be on a date too but all you've done is ask me about them. And if you can imagine it both ways maybe they'd just switch." I get up and start to leave, why did I think this was a good idea?
"Wait 'Mione, can I call you that?"
"N-"
"I'm sorry, I'm just so nervous, I really like you and I've enjoyed getting to know you when we were just texting," Pansy looks at me and I turn back to her, she grabs onto my hand and pulls me towards her. I let her hold me and relax into her soft touch.

Ginny's pov
Luna's head is in my lap as we lay at the top of the astronomy tower. We gaze up at the sky that's filled with crystal-like stars, they sparkle at us like faraway fireflies.
"You know," Luna says in her dreamy voice, "stars are kinda like love, they can shine so brightly sometimes that they're nearly blinding but you can't see them in the day just like how sometimes people lose track of what they love or like how some people are blinded by it," I smiled though it wasn't a perfect explanation I understood a bit of what she was trying to say.
"Yeah they kinda are," I lean down and press my lips to her forehead smiling.

Blaise's pov
I suppose it was bound to happen, I couldn't resist giving it one last attempt. I'm stupid and masochistic like that.
I open the door.
"B, you came," Ron says as I open the door, he's about to run and hug me but something in my expression warns him to not push it.
"I'm sorry B, I'm such an idiot. I know you shouldn't forgive me and I can't give you any excuses. But, you need to know-" I could really tell he was struggling a lot to say this, he has never been good with being honest about how he really feels.
"I really do like you a lot, and I do want to be with you," he finishes, somewhat deflated.
"You know what you did wrong right?"
"Yes, I didn't-"
"And you know what'll happen if you do it again?" I ask. I watch as his expression lights up as he reads into what I'm saying.
"Yes, I know," He says nodding.
"Well, I guess we can try to start over than. Let's do things in the right order this time."
Ron nods, his eyes seem a little watery but he smiles, not too wide but just enough to show me that this really is something that he is serious about. I sigh inwardly, hoping that this will work out this time and smile outwardly just because I'm a little happy.
*I don't know why but I decided to give Blaise the nickname B, :)*

Theodore's pov
"Hi, Neville, can I ask y-you something?" I can't believe I'm really going to do this, stupid Daphne and her horrible ideas. She said she'd turn all my clothes a hideous yellow colour if I didn't confess. And yeah I could fix them but it would take forever to get the right colour again.
"Sure, Theodore right? I can't say we've really talked much," Neville stops in the corridor and turn around to face me.
"You're right, we haven't," I say blushing. I feel my ears heating up, goddamit this is difficult.
"So what did you wanna ask?" He smiles at me without a clue, I wince inwardly still unsure about whether or not he's is even interested in guys let alone someone like me.
I take a deep break and let it all out. "Would, would you, maybe consider, umm, goingonadatewithme?"
"Sure okay,"
And they all live a gay ever after :P
