The sun shone brightly through the tall windows waking me up, I rolled over to my right and cuddled Draco. "No I'm the big spoon" he mumbled sleepily as he turned around and wrapped his arms around me. We laid there in silence for what felt like hours until my alarm rang loudly.

Draco reached over to my bedside table and threw the clock on the floor, smashing it into pieces. "I'll buy you a new one" he smirked as he kissed the top of my head lightly.

Eventually we got up to start getting ready for the day. I walked into the bathroom and propped myself up on the countertop as I brushed my teeth, Draco walked in and grabbed his own toothbrush and toothpaste and also began brushing. After a minute or two we both finished so I went to get a towel and Draco went to pick out his outfit.

~~~~~

"Are you ready we need to go down now" I called, "I need to fix my hair, wait a bit" Draco shouted back and I rolled my eyes. "You spend hours on your hair even though you're going to mess it up the moment you get nervous" I said and I could basically feel him rolling his eyes.

After 5 minutes he came out of the bathroom and finally we left the room and went to the top of the staircase. Already I could see hundreds of families waiting in the main hall and I gulped. The Malfoy New Year's ball has been a tradition for decades, usually the only families invited were pureblood but since Draco and I don't believe in those outdated beliefs we invited muggleborns and half-bloods as well. This caused a big commotion in the wizarding community, many many traditional pureblood families refused to attend the same ball as "filthy muggles" so we just took their names off the guest list.

"Now to welcome the hosts on this ball, it is my honour to present Mrs Giovanna Malfoy and Mr Draco Malfoy" The announcer called and everyone erupted into cheers when they saw us come down the stairs.

I began to feel nervous as I'm not used to this type of thing, Draco sensed my discomfort and gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. "We just need to suck up to a couple families then we can sneak off" he whispered and I smiled at him then nodded.

"Thank you everyone for attending the Malfoy annual ball but sadly this party must be cut short" Draco said and many groans from the audience were heard.

After a little while everyone except from the people invited to the after party had gone and there was only 22 minutes till midnight. "Hello to the rest of you. Your bags with your spare clothes have been placed in the living room at the back of the manor so my house elves will bring them now" Draco announced

"OKAY GUYS ITS ALMOST TIME FOR THE 10 SECOND COUNTDOWN" Draco shouted as he stared at his watch. "OKAY LETS GO" he shouted again.

"10

HAPPY NEW YEAR" everyone chanted together then cheered loudly. I was too caught up in the celebration to notice Draco pulling me in by my waist and smashing his lips into mine, when I realised what was happening I gladly returned the kiss. "You two can finish that later right now it's time to get wasted" Theo said as he pulled us apart, "Theo you're such a cock block" Draco huffed and he dramatically stormed off.
