He was alone and feeling miserable. His breakup with Harry Potter was bitter. The screaming match between the two had ended with Draco's clothes spread across the lawn and a tremendously well aimed sardine hex landing straight on Harry's nose. The Gryffindor would be smelling fish for weeks to come. Draco couldn't handle the infidelity. Like it or not, Harry hadn't been honest and was seeing someone behind his back. It had been one late night too many and Draco had blew up over the pair of panties he had found underneath his bed. It tore the blonde apart to know that the person he thought was his one true love was not reciprocating the feelings. He shook the grass off his things, packed them up, and apparated to the one place he would be accepted…his mother's.

"Mum?" He shouted, dropping his things off in the foyer of the Malfoy Manor. It was nice being back at home, having house elves take his things to his old room. Harry always thought it was inhumane to have servants but Draco always treated them well.

"Draco darling, what a pleasant surprise." Narcissa Malfoy hugged him tightly. Her eyes quickly trailed from Draco's puffy eyes to his suitcases. "What on earth has happened here?"

"We broke up." Draco sniffled. "Potter is an idiot and I want nothing more to do with him."

"This is third time this year you have come home crying to me." Narcissa placed her hands on her hips. "You know he is not good for you and yet you go crawling back."

"I know mother. Now is not the time to rub it in my face."

"What are you afraid of? Are you scared of being alone?"

Draco looked down at his feet. "Perhaps…"

"Well snap out of it! You're a strapping young man and you are a Malfoy." She pointed her finger at him. "You are a catch and if Harry Potter doesn't believe that, then you're better off alone."


"So then I was like 'No I don't want my nails painted red. I want French tips.' But she continued to paint my nails and I was so upset." Cho rambled on to her boyfriend, her chestnut eyes examining her nails for one sign of imperfection. She sat on the leather couch, opposite of Cedric in his office. "It looks so bad."

Cedric rubbed his forehead as he fought to keep his concentration. Cho was a trophy on his arm, but she proved to be quite daft when she spoke. Everything that came out of her mouth seemed to annoy him. He was working on a letter to his mother but her frequent interruptions were driving him crazy. "Your nails are fine."

"Ceddie…" She purred.

He hated that name. "What?"

"When are we taking our vacation that you promised?"

Never is what he wanted to say. "About that…we need to talk."

A pout formed on Cho's lips. "What is it now?"

Cedric rubbed his chin. "I don't think I can get an entire week off this month. We're in the middle of filming and I can't take a vacation."

"You know what Cedric? I've had enough! Either you take this vacation with me or you can consider us finished." She stomped her foot, which caused the quills on his desk to rattle.

"Well then," Cedric lay back in his chair. "I guess we're done."

"What?" She stammered.

"You heard me. We are finished. Done. Finnito. The end."

"Cedric!" Her voice rose to a shrill pitch. "You can't do this to me!"

"Bring on the crocodile tears," Cedric chuckled. "I want the full show."

Tears slid down her face as if on cue. "It's not funny!"

"Come off of it Cho. You can stop with the charades. I know you're fucking someone else."

Her tears stop abruptly. "What are you going on about?"

"I know all your passwords and you happen to have all your instant messages saved. Seems like gryfseek00 is your latest boy toy. Your meeting in Paris didn't go unnoticed."

"I-You-We didn't…"

"Save it for someone who cares." Cedric cut her off. "Just take your things and leave."


Draco tapped his fingers nervously as he stared at his laptop. He glanced over to the scribbled notes on a sheet of paper. Harry had written down his password to his instant messaging account and it was killing Draco to know who he had been chatting with. Throwing caution to the wind, he signed in to his ex-lover's account.

LotusBlossom79: Hi

Draco tensed as he tried to think of something to say. Could this be the mystery person that Harry was seeing?

Gryfseek00: How are you?

LotusBlossom79: Things aren't well. He found out and he's making me leave :(

Gryfseek00: What about us?

LotusBlossom79: I can't wait to see you again. You're the only thing that matters. I think I might be in love with you.

Draco fought back the growing feeling of nausea. Not only was Harry seeing this mysterious stranger, but there might be a chance that he was in love.

Gryfseek00: We should talk.

LotusBlossom79: I will talk to you later. I have to go. xoxo

Cedric was irritated with the fact that Cho left without trying to fix things. He had been calling her bluff, but secretly he wished she would give up her promiscuous ways. She may have been incapable of carrying on an intelligent conversation, but he loved her just like a pet bunny. He sighed and moseyed his way over to the instant messenger icon on his computer. Since he was feeling down, he figured punching the guy in the nose who had stolen Cho away would make him feel better. He logged onto her screen name.

Gryfseek00: hey are things better today?

LotusBlossom79: They are. Would you like to meet today and talk things over?

Gryfseek00: Sure. Where?

LotusBlossom79: Meet me at back bleachers by the tennis courts in Ellis Grove. Around 6.

Gryfseek00: Ok.

LotusBlossom has signed off.

Cedric shut his computer down. The trap was set.


Draco nervously eyed the conversation again. He was to meet her at 6. This was his chance to finally find out who Harry had been seeing.


A/N: Thanks for reading. More to come soon! Let me know what you think and if you see any errors, feel free to point them out to me. Much appreciated! I decided to ship Draco and Cedric together simply because there aren't many stories that have Cedric and Draco together. You may think Cedric seems sort of asshole-ish? You're correct. I wanted to make Cedric a movie star (as I will go into detail in further chapters) so the fame got to his head and tarnished that good boy personality. It's not exactly like the Cedric in the books, but I hope you don't mind. Anywho I'm rambling. Thanks again for reading!
