The gentle touch of fingers running through your hair woke you up that morning. Taking a tired breath, your eyes slowly fluttered open to be met with the smiling face of your boyfriend. 

Draco was propped up onto his elbow lying next to you. The sunlight gently flooded the dorm room, shining in on the bed you shared the night prior. 

“Good morning, sleepy head.” Draco cooed as he traced his thumb across your cheek. 

You softly smiled, and gently brought yourself up to press a delicate kiss to his lips. “Good morning. Have you been up long?”

He gently shook his head, “no, not really. I just laid here for a few minutes; ‘didn’t really want to wake you.” he lightly mumbled as he got off of his arm and started to cuddle you. 

You sighed and scooted closer into his chest. “Thanks for letting me spend the night last night. It was nice to sleep beside you,” you confessed as you traced lines across his face. 

Draco just smiled, “you’re welcome in my room anytime, even if you are a pesky gryffindor.”

You softly chuckled and teased, “you’re lucky I’m even spending time with such a bad slytherin like yourself.”

Draco chuckled, “you wound me, darling.”

You gently leaned up to press a kiss to his cheek, “‘m just playing, Draco. There isn’t anything bad about you, anyway.” 

He brushed your hair out of your face, and pressed his lips to your forehead. 

“You think I could keep this shirt?” You asked as you motioned to the slightly baggy shirt Draco let you sleep in for the night. It smelled strongly of him, so you wanted to keep it for when you weren’t able to spend the night together. 

“Yeah, darling, you can keep it. Just wear it back to your dorm if you’d like. I’d be happy for everyone to see you in my clothes.” He grinned cheekily. People didn’t really know about the relationship you and Draco had. You were good friends with Hermione, Ron, and Harry, and you knew they would judge you if you ever told them what was going on between the two of you.

You lightly swatted at his shoulder. “Very funny, Malfoy.” Despite actually wanting to, you sat up and stretched your arms over your head. You needed to get back to your dorm before anyone realized you weren’t there. “What time is it anyways?”

Draco sighed and sat up as well. He turned around to check the clock that was behind him. “It’s- oh Godric, it’s past 10.”

Your eyes widened, “Past 10 you say?” Draco just frantically nods his head. You stare at one another before both frantically jumping out of his bed and getting your school clothes on. 

“Merlin, Draco, how could we sleep for so long? Everyone’s going to be wondering why I missed breakfast and why you never showed up as well. And we have class this time together, so we can’t arrive at the same time or everyone will know!”

You hurriedly pulled Draco’s clothes off of yourself, not even bothering to be shy about undressing in front of him, and quickly pulled your shirt up your legs. You pulled over the white button up you wore yesterday and threw on one of Draco’s plain sweaters to try to hide the wrinkles. 

“Are you sure you want to wear my sweater? You aren’t worried someone might notice?” Draco asked as he laced his shoes. 

“Don’t worry, if anyone asks I’ll just say I got it from Ron. Merlin knows he’s got so many clothes he doesn’t even remember owning.”

Draco scoffs, “you could always just say you got it from the lost and found or something. You don’t need to have people think you wear Weasl-bee’s clothes.”

You snorted and shook your head, “It’s Weasley, Draco, and no one would believe me. Why would I have gone to the lost and found and taken a sweater that obviously wasn’t mine?”

You laced your own shoes up before reaching down to the ground and grabbing the tie that laid there. “I’m just going to rush to Professor Snape’s and pray he doesn’t yell at me.” You press a chaste kiss to Draco’s lips. “I’ll see you by the lake tonight. Bring the shirt for me, will you? I mean it when I say I want to keep it.”

Draco nods his head and pats your hair down for you. “There, pretty as ever.” He pressed a soft kiss to your forehead. “I’ll meet you tonight, and bring the shirt for you, don’t worry. Now hurry and get to class so I can get there without being too late.”

You giggle and give Draco one last kiss before rushing out of his room. On the way to Snape’s class, you fix your tie as best as you can while still watching where you were going. You’d never gone to class from the Slytherin room, so it was a bit more difficult to map your way there. 

Luckily, you made it in only a few minutes, and found your seat in between Ron and Hermione. 

“Bloody hell, Y/n, where have you been?” Ron asked as you sat down beside him. 

“Yeah, we were getting really worried about you. You weren’t in the great hall for breakfast this morning and you missed first class.” Hermione chimed in. “Is everything okay?”

You nodded and smiled at them, “yeah, everything’s okay guys, I promise. I just completely overslept. I guess I was up too late working on our essay that’s due.”

Ron seemed to buy it when he groaned with a roll of his eyes, “tell me about it. Snape is killing me here. I’ve barely written two sentences and I already want to snap my quill in half.”

You relaxed a bit and chuckled, “yeah, I agree. I think it’s comple-”

“What’s that around your neck?” Harry questioned, his gaze solely fixated on your tie. 

You hadn’t thought it looked too bad, though you suppose you were rushing quite a bit. “Well I was running while I fixed it up, but I don’t think it’s-”

Your words died out on your tongue. You had looked down to see what Harry was making a fuss about, when you noticed it wasn’t your tie you had worn out of Draco’s room, it was his you picked up off of the floor and tied around your neck.

Your cheeks flushed as you tried to stammer out a reply as to why a dark green tie laid around your neck, but the sound of Snape’s classroom door opening made you turn your head. 

There he stood in all his glory, Draco. He looked very well put together for the short amount of time the two of you had to get ready, but something was off. He wasn’t wearing a tie. 

“Oh heavens!” Hermione shouted when she put the pieces together.

“I think ‘m gonna be sick,” Ron muttered as he looked between you and Draco. 

Draco caught your eye, and his eyes widened. No doubt he saw the tie around your neck, and could infer what the conversation was between you and your friends. 

“Guys, no,” you stammered out, “it uh, it’s not what it looks like?” You tried to be persuasive, but your statement seemed more like a question. 

“For Godric’s sake, Y/n! You can’t possibly be fooling around with Malfoy!” Harry fumed and he leaned in front of Ron to get closer to you. 

“What do you even see in him, Y/n?” Ron scoffed, “all he does is torment and make fun of us.”

“He’s called me foul names, Y/n/n, why would you be with someone that hurts your friends?” Hermione softly asked. She looked more sad than angry with you; it was like she was deeply hurt by your choice of boy.

Your heart broke when you saw the look on her face. Out of the three of them, Hermione and you were always the closest, so it hurt the most that you had made her feel that way. 

“I really don’t know what to say. It’s just different when I’m with him.” You confessed as you shrunk back into your seat. “Believe me, when Draco first flirted with me I turned him down so fast. He was vile and nothing that I wanted in a guy.” 

Your friends stared at you as you explained, Professor Snape’s lecture fading into the background. You slowly let your eyes fall towards Draco. He watched you with soft eyes. 

“Draco was persistent. Everywhere I went, he was there. Every time I turned, I turned right into him. His rude remarks turned into compliments. His nasty glares shifted to longing gazes.” 

You saw Hermione’s face soften. She quickly glanced at Ron and you knew it was because of her crush on the red-haired boy. 

Ron’s angry expression was beginning to fade when he listened to how differently Draco treated you, but Harry was still angry. 

“Eventually, I gave in. A few months ago I asked him if he was serious about all the things he was saying to me, and he was. He told me how he liked me, and he asked if I wanted to go to Hogsmeade with him. From there, it kind of just grew out of control.” 

Hermione sighed and placed her hand on your arm, “why did you never tell us? It would have been nicer to know from you instead of finding out like this.”

You huffed and hung your head a bit, “I didn’t want you guys to be upset with me. I knew you would never be okay with something like this, so I thought it would be best to keep to myself. And honestly, I wasn’t sure how long it would actually last. I wasn’t sure if he was using me, or playing with me, or anything of the sort. It wasn’t until recently that I realized how real this is: for Draco and myself.” 

The three of them looked between one another. They no longer looked angry, but still very apprehensive. 

Ron sighed, “well, I supposed he hasn’t been bothering us as much lately.”

Hermione gently smiled, “you’re right. Draco hasn’t bothered us nearly as much as he used to.” 

You reciprocated her smile, “yeah, I asked him to be nicer to you three. I told him how important you guys are to me, and he respects that. I can’t promise it’ll stop entirely, but I’m happy with how things have been so far.”

Harry shook his head, “I still don’t like this. I don’t understand how you can just be okay with everything he’s done to us; everything he’s done to you!” 

You scoff, “Harry, obviously I’m not okay with everything he’s done to us; I’ll never be okay with the things he’s said to us. Sometimes I find myself crying for hours on end because of how much has happened to us because of him. At times I wonder if being with him is even the right decision.” 

You look from Harry to the opposite side of the room where Draco sat. There, he smiled with Zabini which made a smile grow on your face. 

“Whenever I feel like that, Draco is always there to tell me how sorry he is about the things he’s done.” You chuckle and look back at your friends. Their facial expressions convey the same shock you felt when he first apologized to you. 

“I know,” you chuckled, “I couldn’t believe it the first time either. I was sobbing to him because I felt so upset by the way things had been, and he actually started to tear up. He apologized about a thousand times that night, and ever since he always made sure I felt loved by him.”

Hermione grabbed your hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. You smiled at her as she pressed a soft kiss to your forehead. “Y/n, though I was very wary of your relationship with Draco, the way you talk about him sounds like a completely different person than the one we know.”

Harry nods his head, “yeah, it’s almost hard to believe that there’s a universe where Malfoy is a good enough person to treat you that kindly.”

You snicker a little and reach past Ron to ruffle Harry’s hair. He just chuckled and swatted your hand away to fix his hair. 

Ron clears his throat, “I’m not giving him a pass at all, so he needs to show us how much he’s changed for you before I believe it.” 

The bell rings, signaling class dismissal. The four of you stand and pack your belongings, you off to the side awkwardly since you left all of your things in your dorm room. 

“Tell you what,” you offer as you guys are about to leave the room, “why don’t I bring him over here and reintroduce you guys, hopefully this will show you something different in him.”

Hermione gives it a good ponder and looks over to the boys to see what they think. Ron and Harry grimace a bit, but end up agreeing to your tries of getting them to work things out. 

“Okay, let me go get him!” You squeal, grasping an arm of each Harry and Ron before darting away to where Draco is hanging back in the class. 

You come up from behind him and grab his hand in yours. Your quick movement startled him a bit, but he relaxed when he noticed it was you.

“Hey, handsome.” 

“Hi, baby, cute tie.” He smirked as he playfully tugged on his tie that wrapped around your neck.

You blushed a little, “thank you. I got it from some guy this morning, I don’t really remember his name though.” You pretended to think about it for a second before Draco scoffed and pulled you closer to him.

“So I’m guessing your little friends know about us now?” He huskily asked as he leaned closer to your face. 

You grinned up at him and leaned closer, “yeah, that’s actually why I’m here.” You pressed a soft kiss to his lips. “I want to reintroduce you to them. I want them to see how much you’ve changed over the past few months so maybe they won’t be so against us.”

Draco sighed and ran his hand down your hair. “Does their opinion really matter?” He hesitantly asked. “I don’t think anything I do will get them to accept me being with you.” He sadly added. 

Draco awkwardly kicked the ground and held your hand in between both of his. You placed your free hand on his cheek and lifted his head to look at you. “Dray, please. I think they just need to see how you won’t spit names at them any chance you get anymore. They need to see that you treat me the way you do and not the way they’ve always seen.”

Draco sighed, his eyes starting to water. Before you could acknowledge them, he quickly brought his hand up to wipe the tears away. 

“Hey,” you cooed, as you ran your thumb across his cheek, “why are you crying, sweetheart?” You softly inquired.

He sighed and shook his head, “I just feel so horrible about the things I’ve said and done to you. You mean so much to me, Y/n, and I get disgusted with myself when I think about every mean thing I’ve called you.” 

You stare at your boyfriend with sad eyes, “Dray, just the fact that you feel horrible about the way you’ve treated me proves that you’ve changed. You’re a better person than you were when we first met, and you’re someone I’m proud to tell people that I’m with.”

Draco lightly smiled, and pulled you by the hand into him to kiss you. You let out a soft exhale as you melted into your boyfriend. He pulled one of his hands up to hold against your cheek. You smiled a bit into the kiss, which in turn made him smile as well. He separated from your kiss, but not for long because he started to press fast kisses onto your smiling lips.

“Draco!” You squealed as you playfully pushed him away.

He laughed, “All right, all right, I’m done.” He swiftly pressed a kiss to your cheek. “Come on, let’s go talk to your little friends.” He said with a roll of his eyes and a smirk.

You just giggled and pulled him along, hopeful that your friends would be able to see just how amazing Draco really is.
