Chapter Four

It's Saturday afternoon. You're waiting for Draco in the park, sitting on certain bench that became very special for Draco and you. You're wearing the same beautiful outfit you were wearing the other day.

Suddenly, an origami swan comes flying towards you and lands on your lap. You unfold it with a big smile on your face while Draco's delicious scent invades your senses. There is something written on it:

"Draco's to do list:

- Go to the park to meet (Y/N)

- Go shopping with (Y/N)

- Spend time with (Y/N)

- Spend time with (Y/N)

- Last but not least, spend time with (Y/N)"

Your smile turns bigger, but suddenly, someone cover up your eyes with their hands from behind. For some reason, you have no fear. You gently brush your fingers through those soft but manly hands and touch a big ring. That delicious scent of apple and mint that drives you wild turns stronger, driving you even wilder.

—Draco! —You say with a big smile on your face. He uncovers your eyes and kisses your cheek from behind, making you blush so hard.

—Hi (Y/N)! —He says with a big smile on his face—. How are you?

—Much better now that you're here. —He smiles.

—What about your leg? —He asks as he sits next to you. He is wearing another fancy black tux.

—Healing.

—I'm glad —he winks. You blush.

—Are you ready to go shopping?

—What are we waiting for? —He offers his arm and you link yours in his.

Draco and you go for a little walk through the park before heading to the ice skate store. Both of you feel like this is gonna be a wonderful day.

—Well, here it is. This store sells the best brands of ice skates —you say when you two get to the store door—. I've never entered here before —you say a bit nervous.

—It's gonna be my first time too —he gently unlinks your hand off his arm and grabs it. Both of you blush—. Together?

—Together —you smile.

Draco and you enter the store. It feels like being in the paradise of ice skates. He smiles by seeing you acting like a little girl in a candy shop, and after a while, you find the best ice skates for both of you.

—Are you sure you wanna do this, Draco? They're very expensive.

—Of course I am. And don't worry about the price.

—Great choice —the cashier says—. Cash or credit card?

—Uhm... —Draco runs his hand through his hair. He seems to be nervous—. Do you accept galleons? —He takes a handful of gold coins out of his pocket. You look at them in wide-eyed surprise.

—Where did you get that, Draco?

—My family has a lot.

—You can't pay with gold here.

—Excuse me, miss —the cashier interrupts you—. He actually can.

—What?

—This store has very exclusive customers that have requested us to enable gold as a payment method.

You're rendered speechless at what you just heard, and at the fact that Draco turned out to be a very wealthy boy. You don't say a word while seeing how the transaction develops, still atonished.

—Do figure skaters wear any special clothing? —Draco asks.

—Yes, uhm... We wear special dresses. There is a boutique specialized in Figure Skating Dresses near here —you reply.

—Let's go then —he grabs your hand and you take him to the boutique.

If you felt like a little girl in a candy shop in the ice skate store, now you feel in paradise.

Draco has been looking at you trying dresses on and modeling them for him for hours, and he is enjoying it. He smiles and claps his hands evey time you come out of the dress room with a new dress on.

—All of them are beautiful —you sigh.

—You look beautiful in each one of them. Let's buy them all.

—What? No, Draco. It would cost a fortune.

—I already told you not to worry about the price —he tucks your hair behind your ear. You smile.

—What you're doing for me is so sweet, Draco, and I really thank you. But I would feel terribly bad if we buy them all.

—So, choose the one you like the most.

—Ok, but don't look. I want it to be a surprise —you smile.

Draco smiles back at you and covers up his eyes with his hands. He got the message perfectly. You're planning to wear it for him sometime.

—This one —you tell the saleswoman.

—Great choice, miss —she replies and takes the dress to the cashier.

—May I look now? —Draco asks.

—Of course, Dray —you tell him sweetly and he uncovers his eyes.

—Dray? Hmm... I like how it sounds —he smiles.

You wink mischievoisly and head to the cashier, swaying your hips more than needed. He bites his lower lip seductively and follows you.

—Cash or credit card? —The cashier asks.

—Do you accept galleons? —Draco asks, taking a handful of gold coins out of his pocket.

The cashier looks at you. You smile and shrug.

—Do you like chocolate cake? —You ask Draco while you two are walking through the London streets by holding hands.

—It's my favorite —he smiles.

—It's my favorite too —you smile—. I know a place where we can eat the most delicious chocolate cake of London. My treat.

—But...

—I'm gonna take offense if you say you're gonna pay. —He sighs.

—As you wish, princess —he tells you sweetly.

You blush so hard and look down. Draco blushes so hard as well when he feels you interlocking your fingers with his. It feels so good.

You take him to a small cafe where you both spend the rest of the day talking, giggling, drinking coffee, eating chocolate cake and knowing each other better...

—School is gonna start soon. Where do you study, Draco? —You ask while you two are walking back home, hands entwined.

—Uhm... I study in a boarding school in Scotland —he replies.

—Oh, so, does it mean that I won't be able to see you until Christmas Holidays? —You ask with sadness.

—It's not gonna be easy for me either. But there is still a week for that to happen, so we can go out every day if you want —he tells you sweetly.

—Yes, I'd love to! —You say smiling and a beautiful smile blooms across his face—. See you tomorrow in the park for your first ice skating lesson.

—Can't wait!

Draco leans in and gives you a long tender kiss on the corner of your mouth, taking you beyond the stars as he feels your smile against his lips.

A pleasant tingling in your tummy makes you realize that you're in love with him.
