"What's this?" Draven asked her when Hermione gave him a small box. "Salazar, love... You don't have to do this."

"But I want to. I want you to have the best birthday ever." Hermione said to him. "Come on love, open it." 

Draven opened the small box and it revealed a handmade bracelet. It was made of leather and strings. Then there was something etched on the silver plate in front. 

ᚷᚱᚨᚾᚷᛖᚱ'ᛋ

"Runic letters," Draven said and tried to decode the translation carved on it. "Granger's..."

Hermione lifted her wrist and it showed another pair of bracelets, with the same design with same silver plate on top of it with runic letters. "I also have one, love."

ᛗᚨᛚᚠᛟᚤ'ᛋ

Draven tried to read the translation again from what he'd learned from their classes. "Malfoy's..."

"We belong to each other, love. Do you mind if you're going to be stuck with me for life?" She asked waiting for the Slytherin boy's reply. 

He smiled. "I wouldn't mind being stuck with you for the rest of my life, my Stella. As long as it is you... I wouldn't mind at all." 

They both shared a smile as their lips met each other, the glowing light from the moon illuminates and as the stars continued to twinkle, the night sky being the witness of Draven and Hermione's epic love story.

It's almost the end of the term and Professor Slughorn gave invites to the members of his Slug Club for a year-end party. Draven and Hermione were both invited since they were members of the said club, and obviously, they would go together. Harry and Ginny were also going too. 
The Slytherin boy was already preparing for the party that night. He'll fetch Hermione in front of their common room. 
A simple navy-blue dress robe and a white polo as an undershirt with a pink tie go well for Draven since Hermione said that she will wear something pink for the party. He slicked his white-blonde hair back, looking sharp as he faced the mirror and dusted off his outfit. With some spray of his perfume, he's now good to go.

"I'm going now," Draven told his friend and brother. 

"You enjoy my friend, and please if you can, bring us some food from the party." Theo joked and the Malfoy boy just rolled his eyes. 

"I'll see you later, bro." Draco waved to his brother goodbye and Draven started to walk out of their room.
