and the woman gave Draco a quick peck on the cheek

"the flowers were a really lovely gesture. And if you say nothing really happened, i believe you", Hermione said, smiling at Draco,

He smiled, "i'm glad you liked the flowers"

Hermione then got the ball pamphlet, she squealed, "and a ball too!"

"we don't have to go, if you don't want to", Draco said

"Merlin, are you kidding!? i'm excited! I haven't been to a ball since fourth year"

Draco remembered that, it was their Yule ball, and Hermione went with a Durmstrang guy.

"yeah, well, we're going to one now", he said, pointing at the pamphlet

Hermione looked at the guy, as if she was seeing someone else. "this is so unlike you"

Draco glanced at Y/N and Scorpius who were sitting on the couch, reading a fairytale. He smiled, "it is"

Prince Fred and Peter were at some trashy hotel- or more like a motel. The prince limped as he sat down on the bed. Some bicycle rider ran into him, giving him a bruised leg

The ginger haired boy then took a little box with buttons. He started pressing the buttons, and suddenly, the big mirror looking thing turned on

Fred looked at the tiny box in his hand, impressed, "it appears this small little box controls the magic mirror", he said

In the magic mirror, it showed the bus driver from earlier, and some lady with what seems to be a device to make your voice louder

"they were dressed all freaky! As if they werent from this world! And there was a chipmunk-"

Fred pressed another button, changing what they see

It turned into some kind of romantic movie, there was a guy, and a girl, speaking in such tension, "i've always been in love with you", said the guy

"don't you have self respect?", asked the girl

Petee rose an eyebrow, intimidated. He sat down on the edge of the bed, watching what was going to happen next

"i dont need self respect. I only need your lips against mine"

At that prince Fred once again pressed a button

"wait, sire! Go back, go back, please", said Peter

With a weird look at his henchman, Fred put the movie back, and Peter was focused on it, as if it was the most interesting thing in the world

As he wasn't looking, Pip, the chipmunk, jumped on Fred's lap. He started to act once again, jumping

With furrowed eye brows, Fred said, "Peter likes the way i leap?", the chipmunk shook its head, and fainted, "uh, i'm handsome even when i'm asleep?"

Peter heard them, and he knew the chipmunk was there. So with a raised eyebrow, he stood up and got Pip in his hands, smirking evily, "poor little chipmunk", Peter said as Pip tried to get out of his grip.

The henchman then secretly put the chipmunk inside the closet, keeping it there. Peter got his coat and walked towards the door, "i think I need some fresh air, sire.", he said

Fred just nodded, "uh, sure"

Before going out, Peter faced Fred, "sire, do you.. Like yourself?"

There was a few seconds of silence, but with a smirk, Fred answered, "what's not to like?"

At that, Peter smiled awkwardly and went out of the room. Unknowingly had Pip following him.

Y/N and Draco sat on a table at some restaurant, eating pizza.

The blonde man showed the girl some muggle magic tricks he learned, such as getting a coin from behind someone's ear

They laughed, they were having fun.

"show me again!", Y/N exclaimed happily. Draco laughed, and once again, pulled a coin behind her ear, making her gasp, "oh my! You're a wizard."

At that, Draco laughed awkwardly. Even though he knew Y/N meant it in a jokingly way, he still think that she's catching on what he really is.

But then again, she is kind of oblivious.

"yeah", Draco nodded along, not knowing if Y/N would actually catch up

But she didn't.

The girl looked around, "this place looks wonderful"

Draco smiled at her, "it does"

"and we're eating dinner.", Y/N said, suddenly something hitting her

"yeah", Draco said, taking a bite of pizza

With a grin, Y/N exclaimed, "we're on a date!"

"yeah- wait, no, no, no." Draco laughed, swallowing his food, "we're not- we're just friends"

At that, the girl's smile faded slowly, "right, friends."

Draco nodded, "besides, people don't usually bring their children, or mothers on dates.", he said, glancing Scorpius with his grandmother

Narcissa insisted on having dinner with them, since she was all alone with Lucius in Azkaban- but they dont need to talk about that.

And she already met Y/N, Narcissa thinks she's sweet. She also knows about her, since Draco told her through letters.

The young Malfoy and his grandmother were in a seperate table, Narcissa saying that she wants to spend time with her grandson.

Y/N nodded, "well, that's too bad. Scorpius is very lovely, and so is your mother.", she said

Draco nodded, "yeah, they're great."

"does he miss her?", Y/N asked suddenly

With furrowed eyebrows, Draco looked at the girl, "what?"

The girl looked at Draco, and smiled sadly, "his mother. Does he miss her?"

Draco's face fell, but he tried to hide it with a tiny laugh, "we dont talk about it, honestly."

"oh", Y/N said, "i'm sorry, i didn't mean to pry or anything"

"no, it's alright. It's just- i dont talk about it, to Scorpius, or to anyone, really", Draco said

"because it was sad?", the girl asked sadly

Draco shook his head, "not at first."

"you were in love", Y/N said softly

With that, the Malfoy nodded, "yeah we were. And that was the problem. Because, all that lovey dovey stuff you say? That's fantasy. And one day, you'll have to wake up, and realize, you're in the real world"

Y/N put a hand over Draco's, "what made you wake up?"

The Blonde man sighed, "she passed away"

"i'm sorry about that, Draco", Y/N said, squeezing his hand.

Draco smiled thankfully, "i'm fine. I'm a big boy, i can handle it", he said, laughing lightly, "but he's the one i'm worried about.", he said, glancing at Scorpius once again, who was laughing at something his grandmother said

Y/N smiled at Draco, "Scorpius is a strong young man. Just like his father"

At that, Draco looked into the girl's eyes and smiled. He was thankful for Y/N. Even if she was annoying at times, he learned that it'll be very different without her encouraging words.

He feels it, she's going to leave soon. He doesnt want to say goodbye, but all good things must come to an end, and she was a good thing.

One of the best.
