((A/n: Just so everyone knows Cedric did not die in the tournament, and he is pretty out of character))
"There are tons of roses for you in the commons room!" Harry gave a puzzled look.
"Who are they from?"
"Your never going to believe me..." She whispered in his ear, and Harry turned a deep shade of red. Without another glance at Draco, Harry and Hermione left.
Upon arrival to the commons Harry spotted Cedric.
"Harry we need to talk." Harry is still in awe over the dozens of roses.
"These are for me?"
"Yes...they are...Will you take a walk with me?" Harry nods. Harry was secretly infatuated with Cedric since the tournament. Cedric leads Harry out of the commons, and they head towards the grounds. As they turn down the Entrance hall Draco watches them leave out the oak doors.
Their feet crunch through the snow, but the cold doesn't seem to bother either of them.
"Are you staying for break?"
"Yes...I always do..." Harry goes to slide his hand in his pocket,but it is intercepted by Cedric's hand.
"Harry thank you for saving me in that cemetery..." Harry nods.
"I'm sorry we haven't talked for a long time... is it true you know who was there?" Harry nodded again, a slight frown spreading across his face.
"I'm sorry we'll talk about something else." The two kids turned around, and headed back for the castle.
"I've heard that Malfoy freak got into Gryffindor." Harry discards the comment.
"They probably felt bad for what his old man did to him." It was at this point they reached the Entrance Hall, and Cedric pulled Harry in for a deep passionate kiss. Draco who was passing through, heading to bed, noticed them enter, and seen the kiss. He immediately started crying, and ran all the way to his tower. He sobbed silently, until Harry entered. Draco became so infuriated at how Harry was toying with him. Harry checked Draco's bed, and he was sound 'asleep.' A million thoughts raced through Draco's head... was it because I told him about my dad? Why does he think he is so good?...
The next morning the lack of sleep made it hard for Draco to stand, but he did. He was the last one out of bed. After a trip through the commons without incident, Draco heads to the Great Hall for breakfast. About halfway there a group of Hufflepuff boys stopped him.
"Oi Malfoy!" Draco turned to them and the biggest kid stepped toward him.
"You'd better stay away from Potter. Our house needs to be known for something... whether it be something amazing, or where the chosen one found love is a different story..." Draco turned to walk away, but the kids grabbed him and flung him around.
"Don't walk away from me!" Draco tried to pull away, but the kid tightened his grip.
"I'm serious Malfoy... terrible accidents can happen at anytime." The kid pushed Draco to the floor, and the group walked away laughing.
Draco ate his breakfast, and watched Harry eat with Cedric. When he stood to leave he seen Cedric stand too, so he walked faster. Draco turned down random halls, until he hit a dead end where Cedric caught up.
"Not running are we?" Draco went to push past Cedric, but Cedric shoved him back.
"Leave me alone Cedric, and tell your friends to but out."
"Well Draco... Do what your told and nothing will happen, besides Potter doesn't even like you."
"You're lying!" Draco ran at Cedric, trying to get passed, but Cedric swung and hit Draco square in the nose. Draco turned and tackled Cedric to the ground. It was not long until Cedric had Malfoy pinned and proceeded to pummel him to a pulp. Draco blacked out.
