Hannah xxx __________________________________________________ _______________ Professor Snape dealt with the Slytherins almost immediately, it seemed, as when Draco and Felicity edged nervously into the Great Hall the next morning, they welcomed Draco with open arms. Blaise waved a bandaged hand and attempted to grin, the end result being more of a grimace. Draco blatantly ignored him, apart from the occasional filthy glance.
The Ravenclaws took this instananeous acceptance as a warning and begun to smile and converse with Felicity once again.

The sun glowed peacefully in the sky like a contented cat, batting the clouds with it's cheerful rays. The grass was crisp and dewy, and a gentle breeze tickled the trees and shrubs playfully.
Draco Malfoy and Felicity Libelle were walking hand in hand around the circumference of the lake, happy and smiling, Pansy Parkinson had finally stopped jinxing Felicity and Draco's bruises were fading, leaving just a pink tinge upon his pale face. The next Hogsmeade trip was fast approaching, the third - years excited at the prospect of furthermore freedom.
"You are going to Hogsmeade next weekend aren't you? I very much doubt the Slytherins will try anything. I don't know what Professor Snape said - or did - to them, but they obviously don't want a second dose." Felicity chatted happily to Draco, swinging on his hand, her shockingly blue eyes highlighted in the sun.
"Of course I'm going! Blaise Zabini basically worships at my feet these days," he smirked, "I still put a Bubotuber in his bed for good measure." Felicity laughed easily,
"We're going together aren't we? It's just, I have no end of Ravenclaws sucking up to me, and I need to tell them something true, you know I'm an awful liar." Draco sniggered, it was true, in their second year, Felicity had stolen Boomslang from the store cupboard - Filch didn't even resort to Veritaserum.
"Yes we are, I want to see the Shrieking Shack, you up for it?" Draco didn't even look like he was.
"Err, ye- sure." She cleared her throat, "Of course I am!" Draco laughed.
"And you're still no better a liar," he pulled her under his arm, "come on, let's sit down, it's too warm to keep walking.' He sat down on the grassy bank and patted his crossed legs as an indication for Felicity to sit there. She purposely thumped down onto his thighs and he groaned, laughing, and pulled her onto his chest as he fell onto his back, yellow buttercups framing his body. Their faces now inches apart, Draco kissed the end of her nose gently, and she rolled over to lay next to him, resting under his arm, her right hand and head on his chest, her left playing with his white - blonde hair. Draco put his arms around her, and they lay there in perfect silence until the sun drifted sleepily towards the mountainous horizon.
