The flames were mesmerising. They were moving ever so gracefully, dancing along to a silent song no one could find, despite how hard they searched. She had been standing there for what seemed like hours, waiting. Waiting for what, she was not quite sure of that as of yet, but she had promised to wait.

She had been so engrossed in the thoughts that she had been throwing into the fire that when a hand touched her shoulder, she jumped slightly.

You startled me, she said with her burning eyes.

His facial expression told her that he was sorry. He was sorry for scaring her and sorry for making her wait. However, her gentle touch to his arm told the blond in front of her that she would wait forever and all his tenses melted away, being sucked into the fire.

Without having to think about anything, she instantly wrapped her arms around his neck at the same time he placed his own arms around her petite waist.

“I love you, Hermione,” he whispered delicately into her ear, sending shivers up his spine, despite being so close to the bonfire.

"Draco, I know you do,” she replied, increasing her grip around his neck, pushing herself up further on her toes to keep her reach on him.

It had been so easy for him to say, so he wondered why he couldn’t have said it any earlier. As quickly as the thought came to him, it thawed away into the fire.
