A sea of people rushed into the room, and Draco and I separated. He looked at the ground and I blushed feverishly. Draco and me almost kissed! I could feel his breathe on my skin. Oh my gosh! I have to talk to Hermione about this! Besides, he has a girlfriend. Oh god! Pansy! She is so going to kill me. For real this time
'No she won't. I won't let her hurt you again.' What the poopsticks! I looked at Draco, who had a very determined look on his face. So we could mind talk as well? Was that one of my advanced abilites? Did Draco have advanced magic as well? Was it just us? To many questions! You have a quiz today! Focus.
"Good morning class. Are you all ready for your quiz?" Everybody groaned, dreading the written assessment. I just ran through it. Draco helped me study last night, so that was pretty helpful.
'Stop thinking about Draco!' Great, now I'm mentally yelling at myself. I'm going crazy. That's what's going on, I'm going crazy. Awesome sauce.
"Okay class!" Came McGonagals firm voice. "Pass up your quizzes and you're free to return to your dormitories." Thank you Lord almighty I'm free! I ran out of that class faster than a 2 year old on a sugar high. And to the dormitory I go! As I was passing a corner I could hear Pansy's voice, and she sounded flirtasious. So heither she was being a horrible girldriend, or she was talking to Draco.
"So.. Draco, what did you want to talk to me about. You look stressed." Okay, she was talking to Draco.
"Pansy, we are done." His voice sounded venomous. Like he was talking through clenched teeth.
"W-what do you mean!"
"I mean we are done, over, through, breaking up."
"You're breaking up with me?!"
"Isn't that what I just said?"
"You can't break up with me! You can't! You love me!" She was making a scene. I poked my head around the corner, and saw the crowd that was circling around them. So I did what any sane person would do. I ran into the crowd, I didn't make myself noticed but I could now see clearly. And I was right. Draco was clenching his teeth and his hair was covering his eyes so I couldn't see what he truly felt. Pansy had tears rolling down her cheeks, she too was clenching her teeth, but out of sadness. Not anger like Draco.
"No Pansy I don't love you. You only believed I did."
"Why! Why! Tell me why!" His eyes flickered to me.
"Because you're cruel. You hurt someone I care deeply about. And I can never forgive you."
"Who! Who did I supposedly hurt." All he had to do, was look at me. No one saw. No one but Pansy. A thud echoed through out the hallways, and everyone stared at the two in the middle of the circle. Draco's cheek was red, and Pansy's hand was up. Leaving only one conclusion. Many people gasped and Pansy stormed off towards the Slytherin dormitory. I wanted to run up to him, but I couldn't. Because is stupid ex girlfriend who would beat me up if I got close to him. Because now she knew we were friends. That he broke up with her because of me. 'I promised I won't let her hurt you anymore.' I heard in my head. This time it didn't freak me out. I gave him a small smile before I ran to my next class which, shocker, he was in.
In potions I stayed behind while the class went ahead and told Snape all about how Draco broke up with Pansy. I left out the mind talking and the almost kissing part, he would have found a way to poison his drink at dinner.
"You seem excited that they broke up."
"No I'm not! I'm dating Nick."
"Hhhmmm. Sure... You don't care." Great, his I'm right you're wrong voice. I always hated that voice.
"I gotta go Snape. I have to finish this twisted spell I'm working on."
"What's it about?"
"I wanna surprise you."
"Okay. See you Friday for Potions."
"Bye Dad!"
"Wait, What did you just call me?"
"Uhh...Snape."
"Hmm. Okay, bye." I bolted out of that room and headed towards mine. I can't believe I just called Snape dad! I mean, he's like a dad, but he isn't my dad. I'm so crazy!
"Hey! Did you hear?" Hermione and Ron called at me.
"Here what?"
"The tri wizard champions are being picked tonight!"
"Exciting!"
"I know! And then the first task is 10 days after that!
"I gotta go. I have to um.. study for my next class.."
"But we have the next class with you, and that's charms and we don't have a quiz or test today in that class."
"But you never know when we'll have a popquiz. Bye!" I started to speed walk to the dungeons. Truth is I wanted to speak to Draco, but once again, I was stalled by none other than Nick.
"Wanna go out tonight.?"
"We have the champions unveiling tonight."
"But that's at five. I wanna take you out at eight."
"Ya, sure. Whatever. Look I gotta go. I'll see you at eight." I ran past him. Great! Another date. But I'm not wearing a dress this time. But I have to dress girly! Ugh! Back to Draco! I have to talk to Draco. Now. I muttered the passcode to the Slytherin house and ran in. Now was my free period, and so was Draco's. And if I knew Draco, he would be in the common room.
I was right there he was. He was just sitting on the couch. He looked very deep in thought , and if I do say so myself, very cute. Gah! I have to stop that! I have a boyfriend. I shuddered at that thought. The thought of anyone being my boyfriend other than Dra- No! Emily, stop that!
"Hey." I said calmly, despite the chaos in my head.
"Hey."
"I saw what happened."
"Oh, you did now." he seemed really mellow. I didn't like it.
"Ya, is your cheek okay?"
"It's fine. It might bruise, but it's fine."
"Let me see it." I sat down beside him and put my hands to his face.
"Really Emily, it's fine." Draco grasped my hands and pulled them away from his face. I looked at our joined hands. He brought one hand up to cradle my cheek, and the other one to brush the hair from my face. His face was slowly getting closer. And without my permisson, so did my face. My heart was racing, I could feel it beating through my throat. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Until the portrait opened revealing all the Durmstrang boys, including Nick, who also had a free period. Draco salid to one end of the couch and I slid to another, and fiddled with my fingers. And of course! Nick comes and sits by me.
"Excited for our date tonight?" Oh I wish he hadn't mentioned that. Draco whipped his head to look at me. He had a smile on his face, but in his eyes there was only a hint of hurt that would have gone unnoticed, if it was anyone else but me that noticed. I tried to throw him an apology with my eyes, but he had already gone into the boys dorm.
"Ya. Can't wait." I tried to make myself sound joyful, but Nick, on our first date he kept talking about how great he was at quidditch. and How he was an amazing chaser. When I mentioned I was a beater, he scoffed and said 'Sure, you know, you don't have to impress me right?' He is consided , narcassistic, egotistacial, and any other word to describe him. Ya, he was hot, and yes, we would have made a cute couple for looks. But I wasn't me with him. But he could actually be sweet. He did buy me some candy, and held my hand when we went through the shrieking shack. That's why I agreed. Plus, it's not like I like like Draco. Do I? No! I couldn't. I just got him back, If I started to like him now, I would ruin everything. And I don't want to, I can't. But, he did almost kiss me, twice! Maybe he likes me- Emily! Stop that. Go get ready for your date. Because after the champion selection thingy I have my date. Joy!
I went up into the girls dorm and tried to find my girliest outfit. I settled on white skinny jeans, a ruffled pink tank top with a white cardigan and white heels. I actually have an abundance of heels. I love them. I hate girly things, but shoes are my weakness. These were my least favorite heels. They were white with little flowers on them, and they were really pinchy and uncomftorable, but my girliest pair, so I sucked it up. I put a flower in my hair and walked down the steps to meet my arrogant date for them unveiling thingy.
"You look hot!" He exclaimed, and elbowed all his buddies in the 'Look what I scored' kinda way. I rolled my eyes and started to make my way to the Great hall where the goblet of fire was. I took a seat by the other Slytherins and waited for the ceremony to start. I watched as the Drumstrings came in, already congradulating Krum on his "victory". They came in and sat down. Then came in Draco, who sat away from Nick, and most importantly, away from me. I decided to test out the mind talking thingy.
'Draco? Draco. Draco! My loyal stead!' He looked at me from where he was sitting, shock evident on his face. 'I know you can hear me'
'What!'
'I'm sorry about the whole date thing.'
'Why would I care? It's not like we are dating, right? We're just secret friends.' He sounded upset.
'Hey, we are talking through our minds right now! That's gotta be the first for you.'
'Yep, is it for you?'
'Obviously. I have to say your name 3 times in order for me to understand it.'
'Okay, got me there. Who do you think is going to get it?'
'Well, It's kinda obvious that Victor Krum is going to get it, um... Maybe that brunette from Beauxbatons, and I'm kinda rooting for Diggery. But if Harry could find a way in, I'm sure someone who wanted him dead put his name in the goblet.'
'Potter.' Even in his mind his voice was venoumous when he said that name.
'Hey now! He is my uncles best friend, and my uncle is practically my brother, and harry is practically his brother, so technically, Harry is my brother.'
'You are very confusing sometimes. Oh look, it's started.' Dumbledore went up to the goblet and said a quick speech, and then the goblet's fire turned red and a piece of parchment flew out.
"The champion for Durmstrang is Victor Krum!" Dumbledore boomed.
'Called it!' I sung in my mind, so Draco could hear. The fire turned red again and another piece of parchment flew out, landing in the headmasters hand.
"The champion for Beauxbatons is, Fleur Delacour!"
'Called it!' Draco mocked in our thoughts.
'No you didn't!'
'Neither did you.'
'True, now pay attention, the third champion is about to be introduced.'
"And the Hogwarts champion is, Cedric Diggory!"
'Called. It!'
'Fine. You called that one too. Happy?'
'Very. Dumbledores going on his honor speech again.'
'I know, What's going on with the goblet?'
'The three champions are already chosen I thought.' A piece of paper flew from the goblet for the last time. Dumbledore caught it with one hand and brought it to his face.
"Harry Potter!" His voice echoed through the hall. "Harry Potter!" He called again. I looked around to see Hermione pushing Harry out of his seat. "Harry Potter!" He called even louder. Harry made his way through the aisle. People shouting crude remarks out at him.
'Called it.'
'You sure did Emily. You sure did.'
