Selena ran down a pack of stairs and came to a sharp
halt when she saw the people gathered around a sign in
front of the Great Hall. Pushing past them and
glancing quickly at the sign, she went in and found
Jake waiting for her at the Gryffindor Table. He
already had his breakfast laid out and he handed her a
piece of toast when she came running towards him.
Plopping down beside him and catching her breath, she
ignored his teasing laughter.
"Let's see . . . you try . . . running . . . from the
. . . Gryffindor Tower . . . here . . . ." She panted.
He smirked annoyingly as Ron and Hermione sat down
beside them. "Hi!" Selena said once they were
situated. They jumped a little at her voice but then
smiled weakly.
"Morning," Ron said a bit nervously. He packed his
plate with more food than usual before glancing at the
pair nervously. They were already complaining about
Snape and all of the homework he was threatening to
give them. "Are you guys going with anyone to the Yule
Ball?" When Harry sat down beside Ron, Selena blushed
and leaned closer to Jake. He had become her safe
guard and when she was feeling threatened or
embarrassed by something someone did or said, she
tended to lean closer to him.
"I'm going with Fleur." Jake said amiably. He still
remembered asking her that day that he caught her away
from her other friends. Selena had been standing in
another corridor, wondering what had taken them so
long. Still, ever since that day at the lake after the
Second Task, Harry had been avoiding her quite a bit.
She hadn't taken it personally the first few days but
when he saw her walking towards him in the hallway and
he turned around, it made her wonder what exactly he
was running from. He refused to sit next to her in any
class, even Potions, and she sometimes caught him
changing the subject of his discussions with Ron and
Hermione when she or Jake came into the room. It was a
bit eerie, a bit scary, a bit insulting, and a bit
irritating.
"I'm not sure who I'm going with." Selena confided.
She risked another glance towards Harry but he was
looking at the Ravenclaw table. Following his gaze she
saw him looking at Cho Chang and suppressed a sigh. A
few seats away Ginny Weasley heaved a sigh as well.
"Maybe I'll go with Malfoy." Everyone within hearing
distance stopped what they were doing and starred at
her (this included Harry, Ron, Hermione, Jake, and
several other stunned Gryffindors). Selena blushed. "I
was only kidding."
"Don't … do … that … again." Jake said through his
gritted teeth.
"That was scary for a moment there." Ron muttered as
he dug into his porridge savagely. Selena wished that
she could melt into the floor after that embarrassing
comment. She could see heads turning and hearing
people tell other people what she had said and she
blushed a dark shade of red when she realized that it
would be reaching the Slytherin table soon.
"I have to learn to keep my mouth shut." She mumbled.
Jake nudged her comfortingly.
"Don't worry, it was just a joke."
"Remember how Snape react to 'just a joke' from
dog-boy?" Selena muttered. "HE didn't take it as 'just
a joke'." Jake patted her on the arm and tried to tell
her that nothing would happen. Malfoy would probably
make fun of her for a while and then drop it as he
always dropped things that bored him. Excusing
herself, Selena left the Gryffindor table to get the
books she had left in her haste to get to breakfast.
She suddenly didn't feel very hungry anymore. Jake
watched her go and stifled a laugh. Ron glanced at him
wearily.
"What's so funny?"
"I was just wondering what Malfoy looks like now that
he's heard that. She wasn't serious." He said quickly
at the look on Hermione's face. "She's just feeling a
bit stressed with McGonagall going on and on about
exams and the upcoming Third Task is giving her (and
me) a headache." Harry's head snapped around to look
at Jake curiously. He sent Ron and Hermione a
determined look while Jake was drinking some pumpkin
juice. They thought he hadn't seen it, but he had the
eyes of a hawk.
"So, what exactly is it about the Third Task that's
worrying you two?" Hermione asked casually as she
closed her book. Jake was visibly stiff and a shadow
had crossed his features. He wasn't sure what, but he
knew that they were keeping something from him and
they were just waiting for him to slip up and tell
them the last shred of information that they wanted to
hear.
"Well, you know, me and Selena are the judges so we
have to be ready to watch what happens. Hopefully
nothing bad will happen." He said, watching them
closely. In truth, he and Selena were having major
arguments of whether to save Cedric or not and,
currently, they could even pick a side for themselves.
Their evening classes had taken their toll and they
were almost always trying to get some sleep in.
History of Magic was a much-anticipated class for its
nap time but their grade was definitely lacking there
as well as in some other classes. Jake had nearly
fallen asleep in his cauldron when Snape had been
going on about a boring potion and he had only woken
up when Neville had blown his cauldron up as usual.
"Aren't you worried about the Third Task, Harry?"
"Yeah." Harry said quickly. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"Harry's really good at this form of magic, though."
Hermione said stubbornly. "He'll be able to beat
anything that the maze throws at him. Anything at all;
even if Death Eaters were to come and try to beat him,
they wouldn't be able to. Harry's brilliant."
"He'll win the tournament easy. No one will be able to
beat him." Ron said with the hint of a threat in his
voice. Jake lifted up his hands in surrender.
"Hey, easy there. I was not gonna make no threats.
Besides, the Third task is a complex one. And I know
Harry can beat it." They all tensed up and Jake knew
that he had said something stupid. Standing up quickly, Jake excused
himself to go find Selena. The trio gathered together
once he was gone.
"Did you hear that? He knows something I tell you!"
Ron hissed angrily as he glared at Jake's retreating
back. Hermione nodded. "He must know something that's
going to happen! Harry, I say you be really careful in
that maze. He and Selena just might try to do
something to you in there." Harry sighed.
"Alright! I'll be careful, I promise." When they sat
back in their original spots, Harry's eyes started to
wander towards the Ravenclaw table again. Before his
eyes could find Cho again, he realized something that
made him grow surprisingly cold.
Malfoy wasn't in his seat anymore.
"I'm such an idiot." Selena muttered as she made her
way to the Gryffindor Tower. She was trying to make
the red vanish from her face but for some reason, it
just wouldn't go away. "I'm so stupid! Why couldn't I
have said anyone else? Stupid!" She rounded a corner
and yelped when she bumped into someone.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there!" A familiar voice said
above her. Cedric smiled when he recognized her and
helped her to her feet. "There you go. Sorry, I should
have watched where I was going. Don't tell me that
breakfast is over!" Selena adjusted her robes and
looked back the way she had come. He didn't make her
as sad as usual these days. He turned out to be a very
nice person when spoken to about anything (Quidditch
was one of his favorite subjects to talk about).
"No, I just left early. Still, you'd better hurry
before they run out of food." Cedric nodded to her and
began to jog to the Great Hall, this time mindful of
the corners. Sighing, Selena looked around to get her
perspective back and figure out which way was the
easiest to get back to the Gryffindor Tower. Her
little vacation to the floor had set her mind map into
a bit of confusion at the moment. She was about to
start walking again when someone tapped her shoulder.
When she turned around, she almost screamed.
"Hello there." Malfoy said with a huge smirk on his
face. "Are you lost?" Selena shook her head, the red
returning to her face. Cursing under her breath, she
began to walk back towards her Common Room. Malfoy
kept stride with her easily. He starred at her for a
long time before she couldn't take it anymore.
"What do you want, Malfoy?" She demanded when it
became clear that he wasn't going to speak and he
wasn't going to leave her alone. He stopped and
chuckles mildly and she glanced at him for any kind of
hint as to what he was going to say. After a moment of
thinking, that same superior smirk returned to his
face. Selena knew that she was in for it now.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the Yule
Ball with me." Selena blinked several times. That had
certainly been unexpected! She raised an eyebrow and
watched him for any sort of reminder that this was
probably going to be a cruel trick in which she would
be humiliated and would never want to show her face at
Hogwarts ever again.
"Why do you want to take me? I'm a Gryffindor and,
besides, isn't Pansy your girlfriend? I thought you
were going with her." Malfoy made a strange sound that
sounded like a snort. He shrugged and began to circle
her like a vulture. It was rather unnerving.
"Pansy? Right. She's just some dumb girl who only
wants rich guys like me. She can find her own date.
I'm asking if YOU want to go with me." Selena didn't
know if he was joking or not, but he didn't have that
smirk on his face anymore and he was looking at her
quite seriously. "Well? Do you want to go with me or
not?"
"Um," Selena said intelligently, "I guess. Sure, I
don't have anyone else to go with." Malfoy smirked
again.
"Alright." He chuckles, "I'll be wearing green dress
robes." He said before turning and leaving. Selena
watched him go and wonder again if this was some kind
of trick to embarrass her farther. Groaning, she put
her head in her hands and racked her fingers through
her hair.
"This is NOT how this is supposed to work!" She said.
Just then she heard footsteps and turned to find Jake
coming towards her suspiciously.
"Did Malfoy come by here and bother you?" Selena
blushed at his question and looked anywhere but at his
face. She knew that he would either get into his
protective mode or he would laugh his head off. Both
were annoying but the later one would just make her
day complete.
"Um, well, he just asked me to go to the Yule Ball
with him." She said, still looking at the floor.
"What did you say?" No emotion, just a question.
"Yes?" Jake blinked and looked at her in concern.
"He was the only one that asked me! And I am
definitely NOT going with Shadow or Lucifer!" Jake
finched as if she had mentioned Voldemort's name.
"Are you seriously gonna go with him?"
"Well, I don't know… I'm just afraid now that I will look
stupid if he tricked me. I'm not sure if he really
means it either." Selena blushed even more. Of course he
would go into protective mode! This day was just
getting better and better! And they hadn't even had
LUNCH yet! "What? You think I'm just going to start making out
with him or something?! Are you crazy?! This is Malfoy
we're talking about here!" Jake started laughing again
and Selena dug the heel of her shoe into his feet. He
sucked in a deep breath at her icy glare.
"Okay, I deserved that." He muttered.
"I don't understand it! Why would he even ask me? I
thought he hated me." Selena said. Jake shrugged.
"I don't know. But the ways of guys are sometimes strange."
Jake said in all seriousness now that his foot was
throbbing.
"Yes." She grumbled. "He didn't explain anything though. Just
that he doesn't want to go with Pansy."
"Creepy Pansy?" Jake snickered.
"Yes Creepy Pansy. Don't you find that odd?"
"Yes. But then again, Malfoy is a very strange guy."
"If you even think of going over to Malfoy and start
cursing him or whatever, don't."
Jake laughed. Selena growled and punched him in the
gut, "Ow, hey, easy there. I'm not laughing at you.
Okay, I won't talk to Malfoy. I promise."
"Why Malfoy… why has to be Malfoy?" Selena choked as
she spat the words out.
"I have no idea!" Jake scratched the back of
his head. "I was sure that Harry would ask you. I
guess he still likes Cho after all." Selena sighed
deeply. "I know how much you wanted to go with him."
"If he doesn't even notice me than I guess it's for
the best." Selena said. She motioned towards the
Gryffindor Tower. "Let's get going, alright? I don't
fancy embarrassing myself all over again."
Selena punched him in the gut again just to remind him of his promise not to go after Malfoy. Jake watched
Selena mutter under her breath and walk to the tower alone.
Jake smiled darkly and turned to go in search of Malfoy.
As he left, he didn't know that Harry had been
watching them and listening to their entire
conversation from Jake's mentioning of his name
onward. When Ron came looking for Harry a while later,
he was surprised to find the raven-haired boy blushing
and muttering curses under his breath.
Malfoy was walking towards the dungeons when Jake appeared from a nearby hallway behind him. Malfoy stopped and turned around to face him when he felt Jake's eyes on him. Seeing Jake smirking equally as Malfoy, he dropped the smirk knowing that it wouldn't work against the Gryffindor. Malfoy muttered under his breath, "What?"
"What did you ask Selena?"
"What business is it of yours?"
"Nothing. But she is my cousin and I would rather not see
her in pain. You asked her out didn't you?"
"Why do you care?"
"Is it the Malfoy's way? I suspected you might prefer her for your
little would-be Death Eaters or perhaps you were
trying to make a fool out of her."
"I only asked her because I felt like it. Who cares
what I should do?"
"Nah, I don't think people should control others. Why
not Pansy?"
Draco growled in irritation, "Who cares about that damned pug face!"
"Ouch. You going for looks, is that it?"
"No, she just wouldn't shut the hell up and give me a
moment's peace. But why are you getting into this? What
business is it of yours what I do with my life?"
"You sure you won't hurt Selena in any way?"
"I'm sure." Draco said furiously. "If you really want
to know… If you really…. Do… want to know… better stay
out of the way. And see for yourself."
Draco moved away and Jake smirked and returned to the Gryffindor Tower.
