"Well, well, well." A cool voice said. Cedric and I broke apart slowly and turned to face the interrupter.
"Malfoy." Cedric glared at the blond haired boy. A beautiful girl came up and placed a hand on Malfoy's shoulder. It was Jada. It took all of me to not say hello to her.
"Wouldn't the heads of Hufflepuff and Gryffindor houses love to hear that their star students were caught out of bounds, swapping spit?" Malfoy smirked that famous smirk. I wanted to slap him.
"If I recall correctly, Malfoy, the last time you tattled on a Potter you ended up having detention in the forbidden forest. Didn't you run away screaming?" I said stepping closer to him. His smirk faded into a frown.
"You'd better watch yourself Potter."
"Or what?" I asked, staring him down.
"Oh I'll –"
"Draco, why don't we just go." Jada spoke up.
"No, Jada. Any opportunity I can get a Potter into trouble I take." Malfoy turned to her.
"DRACO NOW!" Jada grabbed his arm. She added sweetly, "You wouldn't want them telling on us for what we do out here now would you?" Jada began to pull him back towards the castle. He glared at me and Cedric one more time, then turned and left.
"Well someone's pussy whipped." Cedric laughed and made the whipping motion with his hand. I watched Jada and smiled.
"He sure is. Goodnight Cedric. Thank you for being there for me." I picked up my photographs and walked back towards the castle. I didn't have to turn around and look, I just knew that he was standing at the tree, looking dumbfounded. I continued to walk into the castle and up to Gryffindor tower. After I walked into the portrait hole I sat down in a big plush scarlet armchair in front of the fire. I just stared into the fire, thinking about what had just happened. I placed a hand over my mouth and smiled. Of all the boys in this school, Cedric Diggory was definitely that last one I thought I'd ever make out with. Where was this going to go? He couldn't possibly want more. Could he?
Suddenly a wave of hunger washed over me. I had skipped dinner and was now starving. Thinking quickly, I ran up to Fred and George's dorm. They knew how to get into the kitchens, maybe they had something. Just my luck!
"Ainsley! Where have you been?! We've got tons more joke stuff to show you!" George called out to me as I entered the room. I jumped onto Fred's bed.
"Show me now! But first, do you have anything extra from the kitchens? I'm starving." I placed a hand on my forehead in the 'damsel in distress' way. Fred opened his trunk and pulled out a cake.
"It's all we've got right now," he said, "Help yourself."
"Thank you very much. Now show me what you've come up with." I grabbed a bit of cake and nibbled on it. I then listened intently to every word they said until I thought I was going to fall asleep right there. "Double Potions in the morning fellows. Must get my beauty sleep."
"Beauty sleep's not going to work overnight." George laughed. I jumped off the bed and put my fists up like I wanted to fight.
"Goodnight guys." I laughed and walked down boy's stairs and right back up to my dorm. I changed into my pajamas and slipped into the nice soft warm bed. What would Potions be like in the morning with Cedric? Awkward? I drifted off into a deep sleep thinking about what might happen.
