A/N: I had to put a little cheesy Peetniss on top! :P
Don't worry, the good things are coming soon! :3

That night was one of the weirdest nights all of them had ever past.
Ron, Hermione and Harry were sleeping in the guest room. None of the three children could fall asleep. Searching for a logical solution through the things they had learn in Hogwarts.
But they were wizards. There was nothing logical in the wizard world.
Meanwhile on Peeta's and Katniss' room, the mood between them was weird. Cold.
"Katniss...?" Peeta asked and lay in the bed next to her. Looking at the ceiling emotionless.
"What are we going to do Peeta?" she asked emotionless.
"I have no idea..." he admitted brushing his hair with his fingers.
After managing to stay alive from Snow's threatens they had to get married to prove to everyone that they were 'in love'.
Everything was okay. They were really good friends but every single year they had to keep on acting for the cameras.
To say how in love they are. How happy the were at the thought of someday having a family.
Katniss had started to believe that Peeta was the one who was hurt the most out of this script. Wrong. She was the one who was hurt the most. Peet knew that he was in love with Katniss. He knew what he wanted. Katniss didn't. She was paralyzed. The only thing she was thinking was fear. But now. Her miond had started to trail into darker paths. Into feelings between Peeta and Gale. Making her paralyze completely.
"Peeta..." Katniss said and turn to face him "the reaping... is in a week..." she said and sat on her knees startled.
"What are we going to do now with the reaping? People will get suspicious!" he asked looking into her eyes. After making sure they had removed every single microphone from their house, they could talk about everything.
"I can't do it anymore. It's the 4th year we are mentoring. Everyone have died" She said and started crying. Peeta hugged her tightly letting her cry against his chest. She was always crying or breaking down a few weeks before the reapings. "This is sick. I know. We can't do anything though" he said and started rocking her, back anf forth, to calm her down.
"I can't. I can't. I can't." she was repeating between sobs.
He pulled away of her to look at her grey eyes. His blue ones piercing through her.
"We will go through it again this year. I promise you, this year it will be differ-" he tried to say but it was useless. She had stopped him by pressing her lips on his. It was one of those little kisses they had shared behind the cameras.
Those little kisses that made Peeta's hopes spark again. But then die again.
But it was one of the little kisses that made her feel something. He stopped trying to talk unsure of what to do. She cupped his face holding his lips against her, making the hunger return. The warmth overtaking her like in the arena.
He moved her body closer to his, moving her legs each side of his body, sitting on his lap. His hands slipped down her hips holding her firmly close to him until.
"You are such a mystery Katniss." he said when she pulled away gasping for air.
"Is that bad?" she ask resting her forehead against his.
"What do you want me to believe?" he asked after a while of silence.
"Wha- what do you mean?" she asked pulling away and avoiding his eyes.
"It's that..." he started saying and made a movement with his hand sowing the space between them "...sometimes you are acting like..." he keeps saying but she cut off his sentence "...in love..." she continued his sentence and turned to face him.
"Well... are you?" he asked and forced her to look at him straight in the eyes, asking for answers.
Katniss avoided answering.
In her whole life she was trying to block any feelings she had. She had forbidden herself to love. The love that will bring to marriage and then to children. She didn't let herself feel something more about Peeta. Even If she would let herself, she knew she would feel too.
"Katniss?" he asked bringing her back to reality from her trance. "You know what I feel for you Katniss. The thing is that you are always showing me things I can't understand..." he said with a hurt voice.
"Sorry Peeta..." Katniss said tears running down her cheeks. He pulled away from her looking at the ground for a while.
"Looks, let's forget about it. Tomorrow we will have a big day..." he said and lay back in the bed, looking at the wall of his side.
She lay too, looking at the wall of her own side, thinking. When she felt him stirring next to her she closed her eyes shut pretending to be asleep. She felt him wrapping his arms around her. He was way too good for her. None of them really sleep that night. They kept pretending to avoid everything, but before he would fall asleep for real, she felt her pressing her lips on his lightly before she whispered:
"I could live a thousand lives and still don't deserve you"
