Chapter 3 He Called You What?

Crystal decided to skip lunch, she wasn't really hungry, anyway. She been really swamped, lately. Cho was still distressed over Cedric, she didn't have a dress or date for the Yule Ball, and she had four major tests in one week. She sighed as she walked up the stairs. She was so distracted, she forgot about the trick step. Her foot got caught and she dropped all of her books. "Fuck," She mumbled. Now she had to wait for someone to help her. A few minutes later, she heard voices coming her way.

"You see, Father gave it to me. It's really expensive, no, Goyle, you can't eat it. God, do you only think about food?" Crystal sighed, just her luck, Malfoy. They climbed the stairs and stopped when they saw her. "Well, look, someone's stuck in the stair. What's wrong Huffley Puff, forget about the stair? Oh, and you're a 7th year, even 1st years know about that stair," She glared at him.

"Listen, can you just give me a hand? I forgot about the trick step," Malfoy smirked and took her chin in his hand.

"And why should I?"

"Just help me, you stupid ferret!" She said, losing her temper with him. Malfoy's eyes hardened.

"Just for that little comment, I think I'll have to teach you a lesson," He drew out his wand and pointed it at her throat.

"Expellimarus!" Someone shouted and Draco's wand shot from his hand. "Leave her alone, Malfoy!"

"Oh, and you're gonna stop me, pretty boy?"

"Watch who you're talking to Malfoy, I'm three years older than you,"

"Fine, I won't hurt your little girlfriend," He said. He took Crystals chin and kissed her. She fought him, but she couldn't very well. He released her lips and said. "You like that? Your girlfriend tastes pretty good, Cedric," Cedric punched Draco and threw him down the stairs.

"You ever touch Crystal again and I won't be so nice," Cedric took her hand and pulled her from the stair.

"Ugh, that so disgusting, I need to wash my mouth out with acid! Thanks, Ced, you really saved me. I hate that step! I can't believe Draco called me your girlfriend," Cedric blushed and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yeah, he's crazy," Crystal wiped her mouth.

"Ugh, I can still taste the ferret!" Cedric smiled.

"I think I can help you with that,"

"Ced, I didn't know you felt that way about little old me," She said playfully.

"I have to let Malfoy be right once and awhile," Crystal smiled and looked into his eyes. Cedric kissed her and laced his fingers with hers. "Would you wanna go to the ball with me?" He asked after they parted.

"Course I would," Cedric smiled and kissed her. "I gotta go, I'm meeting Cho to go to Hogsmeade," Cedric raised his eyebrows.

"Common room, tonight?" She agreed and kissed him. She went down to the common room and met Cho. They walked to Hogsmeade together. They were shopping for Yule Ball dresses. They stepped into a dress store, and came out with their dresses.
