Draco's POV

I did NOT just kiss Collins. Why did I do it? What the fuck it wrong with me?! But it was so good. No. Stop it, Draco. You can't like her. She's a Gryffindor, and you're dad would not approve. Anyway, she's not your type.

Oh my God.

My POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I got back, I couldn't find Marie to tell her what had happened. I didn't really trust anyone else to tell them, since most of the hated Draco. They would use that to get back at him. Big time.

So instead, I wandered back up to the seventh floor, opening the wooden door to the long hallway leading to the portrait. Exhausted, I traveled along the long, red and gold rug to the fat lady, who greeted me cheerily.

"Password, darling?"

"Uh…" I stuttered, for the password had recently changed, "Pumpkin Pasties."

The golden-framed fat lady swung open, revealing the small tunnel to the common room. I gratefully hurried through it, and many people were already walking upstairs to bed.

Including Seamus.

"Wait. Seamus!" I yelled, hurrying after him.

From the middle of taking a step up the stairs, he stopped. He turned his dark brown haired head to look at me.

"Hi."

"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Really. I feel like such a bitch and I hate it when you're mad at me. Still. Please, I really want to be friends again." I pleaded, hoping against hope that he would accept my apology.

"Fine. But next time Draco does something to come between us, I might have to go all Irish guy on him and beat him to a pulp." He smirked, his dancing eyes glowing orange from the flames of the fire.

I giggled, walking up to the steps leading to the girls dormitories. "I might just have to take you up on that. G'night!"

He smiled, turning around and retreating upstairs. "'Night!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The next day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was so glad that the Yule Ball fell on a Friday, so I got to sleep in.

A small ray of sunlight woke up up, caressing my check. Groaning, I opened my left eyes slightly, watching the open stone window. Owls flew through the pale, winter morning sky.

"Em, are you up?" Marie whispered to my right.

"Yeah." I answered back groggily.

Silence.

"Guess what happened last night?" I prompted, smiling to myself recalling the night with Draco.

"Yeah! You just, like, left me there with Fred! I was like what?"

"Sorry, but I…uh…well Draco kissed me." I blushed.

Suddenly she moved like lightning, sitting straight up attentively. I stared at her from my bed, as I was still laying down. Her hair was like an afro, and her blue eyes were wide with shock.

"WHAT?!?!?!?!??!?!?!!"

"Shuddup!" A few girls complained, trying to sleep in.

Snickering, I said, "Yeah, Mar!"

"EM!!!! EMEMEMEMEMEM!!!!! REALLY?!" she screeched, completely ignoring the other, now pissed girls.

"Yeah." I giggled, yawning and sitting up, "It was amazing. Like out of a fairy tale."

"Oh my GOD EMILYYY!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Eight days later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

School and classes were normal, except the ones I had with Draco. Things were really awkward, if not more between us. I kind of just ignored him, but it wasn't that easy. Part of me actually expected him to say something our kiss.

Now we were in Charms, and I had that with Draco, also. Basically all of my classes were with him. Really, it was ridiculous.

"And so, this is how you do the—

I blocked Professor Flitwick out, staring across the room. I hated this room with a passion. It was wide, musky and smelled of moldy old books. The seats were like bleachers, set up on one whole half of the room.

Professor Flitwick liked the idea of House unity or whatever, so it alternated between Gryffindor and Slytherin. I sat between Milicent Bulstrode and Vincent Crabbe.

Crabbe. Such a dumb name.

"Ms. Collins! Are you paying attention?" Professor Flitwick asked.

The whole class got deafly quiet.

"Yeah, I am." I replied, feeling my cheeks burning slightly.

"Good."

I scratched my quill (I liked using them better than pencils I had brought from America) onto a piece of parchment, just scribbling.

"Now, please write a two page essay on this charm and I want it on my desk in four days. Class dismissed."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~That night ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Now, before we eat, I would like to inform the contestants of their next task. You will not need to prepare for it, but it is in a few weeks. The contestants will travel to an area not too far from Hogwarts, but they will be tested on their survival skills. Without a wand and with nothing but the clothes on their backs, they will have to work together to survive. They must bring one other person with them, and that will be the student who you went to the dance with. Now, eat up!" Professor Dumbledore announced from his podium.

"Oh God." I groaned, thinking of taking Draco with me to the challenge.

Marie gave me a look of pity, and then returned to talking to Fred.

Again.

I helped myself to food, sitting in between Seamus and Padma.

"Yeah, I feel bad for myself, too. I mean having to spend my time with that Gryffindor lot!" Draco's loud, deliberate voice rang clear in my ears.

Rolling my eyes, I returned to my food.

"So, Emily. Yah want my bread? I'm not in the mood for it."

"Uh, thanks, Seamus." I replied, puzzled just because that was so random.

"Yah welcome. Did yah hear about what happened in Azkaban? A few prisoners escaped. The only other wizard to escape was Sirius Black." Seamus said in awe.

He loved to gossip, so much it got annoying.

"Seriously? That's insane. What happened?" I asked.

Everyone around the table listened to.

Grinning, Seamus replied. "I dunno. They haven't caught 'em yet. But if they do, yah can count on the dementors ripping them apart!"

"Yeah, and hopefully they'll come after Potter, too!" Draco sneered from behind.

"Shove off, Malfoy." Ron growled from a few people down.

"What is it, Weasel? Afraid that you'll lose your boyfriend?"

In an instant Ron was standing, glaring at Malfoy like he wanted nothing more than to feel his face crack under his fist.

"Ron! Stop, he's not worth it." Harry protested, grabbing the back of Ron's robes and forcing him down.

The whole Slytherin table was hysterical, shouting and laughing at us.

All the Gryffindors shot them a venomous look.

"Weasel, why don't you just go back up to your little dormitory and have a nice little shag, okay? Well at least his standards are low, so that's not a big deal." Malfoy sneered, referring to Harry, "I mean his standards MUST be low on everything, living in a cardboard box and all."

"Malfoy, why don't you just shut up?" I spat suddenly, surprising even myself at the rage that was building up inside of me, "You're such a lousy, annoying, lying, cocky son of a bitch! You think you're better than everyone else but you're not! Just stop it, no one likes you! I bet even your little friends hate you. You only think of yourself and you never even care whose feelings you hurt, because you think the whole world revolves around you. News flash! It doesn't. So just SHUT THE FUCK UP."

Draco had this shocked and somewhat hurt look on his face, along with everyone else within ear shot. This was the first time that either of us had acknowledged each other in a while. I had even called him Malfoy, which I never do.

Then Draco pulled himself together, and his eyes narrowed until they were slits.

"You know NOTHING about me, Collins. You filthy little Mudblood."

I gave him this evil smirk. "You say that as if it was meant to be offensive."

The Gryffindor table gave "Oohs" and whistling from Seamus.

"Yeah, well at least I'm not a slut."

"At least I'm not a man-whore."

He smirked. "Yeah, the girls love me."

"If one more word comes out of your mouth, I'll make sure everyone knows what happened." I spat.

His face fell. "You wouldn't."

"Attention! I have an announcement to make!" I shouted, standing up and drawing attention to us from the head table.

Draco forced me to my seat, his eyes burning with anger. "Look. That meant NOTHING, you hear me? You're an ugly, disgusting cow and I obviously I was just confused."

"DRACO YOU ARE SUCH A BAST---

Marie was cut off by my screaming, "You are such a…a…MOTHE---

Seamus nudged me, alerting me that I might get in trouble. My face was burning, and my insides were on fire with anger at Draco, but I forced myself to turn around.

"He's a prick. Ignore him." Harry soothed from a few people down.

I gave him a sideways glance.

"Yeah." I sighed, my mind still on what he had said about my father.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Day of the second task~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You know, they say when a guy is mean to a girl, it really means he likes her." Hermione rolled her eyes as we walked over to a portkey to take us to the woods.

Draco was being a jerk again, and was bragging about how his father was going to give him a new broom, with silver and gold woven into the tail. Then he was bitching to me about how I'm so poor that I can't afford a Cleansweep or whatever, and I was about to inform him of my Firebolt when Hermione butted in.

Immediately Draco got silent, glaring fiercely at us.

"Now remember, you must protect the person you had taken to the Yule Ball. Fail to do so, and you may find yourself in a place you do not want to be." Dumbledore warned, taking out a basketball from his robe.

"Is that the portkey?" Hermione asked, biting her lip.

"Isn't it that thing that transports you somewhere?" Parvati Patil asked.

Dumbledore nodded, and I could see Draco bite back a rude remark.

"I wish the best of luck to you all. On five. One, two, three four fi—

All at once, everyone rushed forward as Dumbledore placed the ball on the ground. As soon as we touched it, the wind was kicked out of us. I could see everyone around me, and we were all spinning around, our hand still on the basketball, in the air.

Finally, after what seemed like ten minutes long, it stopped and we all gasped for breath. Suddenly I felt a chill go through me, and I was happy that I had on a black, neon purple and green-splattered sweatshirt, because it was FREEZING.

Dumbledore was gone, and we all stood, not knowing what to do next. We were in this big moorland, surrounded my woods

"Er…now what?" Harry asked, staring at the sky.

Draco smirked at Harry, a malicious look in his eyes "Well, Potter. I think we should build camp. It's the only thing that makes sens—

He began cursing as he stepped in a puddle of mud, covering his black, neon blue and pale green DC sneakers.

"Aww, did wittle ol' Draco get his shoesie woosies wet?" Fred laughed, high-five-ing Harry.

"Shut up. At least I'm the only one with some class here." Draco grumbled, staring me full in the face.

I gave him a disgusted look, purely originating from my anger at our kiss, and his reaction.

Prick.

"Hey." Fred whispered to me, pulling on his long sleeved, brown shirt, "I dare you, no triple dog dare you to suck up to Draco, clinging on him and stuff this whole time to piss him off."

"Why?"

"I don't know. Fun?"

"Well…what's in it for me?"

"Hmmm candy?"

"Nah."

"Fine. I'll give you my special box of wonders."

I cracked up laughing, and all the others who had started walking ahead of me turned around, a 'what the fuck' look on their faces.

"Okay what's in it?"

"Um well just joke stuff that my brother and I made. It's really useful, so if Malfoy bothers you for doing this, you can get him back." He grinned.

I contemplated it. "If I wasn't totally pissed off at him, I would. Sorry." I began to follow the others, who were now a good distance ahead of us.

"What'd he do?" Fred asked, grabbing my shoulder from behind.

"Um…I don't really want to talk about it, sorry."

"Don't worry, I won't tell Marie."

"She knows."

"Well, what's there to lose?"

"My dignity? Reputation?" I saw the concerned look on his face, "Okay fine. Well, you know how Draco and I were fighting in the Great Hall at dinner a few weeks ago?"

He nodded.

"Well, we kinda…kissed. At the dance and…that's why he called me a…" I trailed off, not wanting to talk anymore.

"Holy crap. Uh" he scratched the back of his head, "I'm…sorry? Look Malfoy's a jerk. Please don't like him. Since you're my girlfriend's best friend…"

I gave him a 'thank you' look, and we kind of just stopped talking.

We hurried to catch up to everyone, and for the rest of the time I ignored Draco completely.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Night~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maries POV

I sat down on the dirty ground, not caring at this point what I looked like. It was dark, cold and scary in the woods. At least Victor Krum and Hermione could figure out a fire.

Malfoy sat on the opposite me, on the other side of the fire. He had his hood up, and his arms crossed. He had detached himself from everyone else, and right now he looked like a total creeper/gangster.

I realized that Emily must love him right now, since she likes the gangster type of guy. I still hated him.

"So" Fred began, sitting down next to me, "Emily and I talked."

"Really?" I leaned my head against his shoulder.

"Yeah. She told me about what happened with her and" he lowered his voice, "Draco."

I smiled. "Did you cheer her up?"

He didn't say anything, so I stared at him. He began laughing hysterically as he realized I was staring, and Draco began yelling at us to shut up.

"Oh, shove it up your ass Malfoy!" I retorted, still laughing at Fred's reaction.

My POV

"Hey. I found water from the river and I thought we could, like heat it or something to kill germs in it. I learned from the Discovery Channel." I laughed, but Marie, Harry and Hermione were the only ones that got it.

"It's a muggle thing." I glared at Draco, who was giving me a 'what the fuck' look.

Rolling his eyes, he leaned against a big rock, staring into the fire. I admired how the light flashed eerily against his face, lighting up his eyes. Suddenly his gaze changed, and he was looking directly at me.

"What are you staring at, Collins?"

I blushed slightly. "Nothing."

Time passed and we managed to find some fish and cook it over the fire. Cho Chang gave me the honor of passing it out (thanks dude).

I began passing them out to everyone, but I forgot Draco.

"Collins."

"Huh?" I turned around from handing the last one to Marie.

"I didn't get one." Draco narrowed his eyes.

"Sorry, I don't think there's enough. You can have half of mine though." I offered, not really that hungry anyway.

"That's not good enough." He spat.

Silence set in, and nobody moved. Tension kept building until finally I broke, completely annoyed about everything and anything about him.

"What is your problem?!" I screamed, taking a step forward closer to the fire.

"My problem is you! You're always there, in my life, when I don't need you! You're so annoying and bossy and you just BUG THE SHIT OUT OF ME! I could've been asleep in bed right now, but I'm out in the woods!"

"Well I'm sorry if you asked me to the Yule Ball!" I retorted, balling up my fists.

Draco stood, throwing down his hood, "And stop drooling over me all the time! You know what I think? I think your so desperate for a guys attention your willing to do anything! You're a little slut!"

The words hit me like bullets, and I stood there, frozen. The meaning of his words sunk in and, against my will, my eyes filled with tears. I just broke down crying, right there.

Embarrassed and humiliated, I spun around and ran into the woods, away from him and the others.

Maries POV

I sat on the ground, the wind howling through the trees. I was stunned at Malfoy's words; it was low even for him. My heart ached when Emily ran away into the woods, hands furiously wiping away tears that refused to cease.

"Malfoy." Harry growled menacingly, his black hair hanging in his eyes.

"Oh..." Hermione whispered, staring sympathetically where Emily had vanished.

"I want to beat the shit out of him" I whispered to Fred, but he was standing with Harry in front of Draco.

"Go apologize." Harry hissed, grabbing Malfoy by the collar.

Fred walked behind him and pulled back his head by his hair. "…Or else, you filthy, pathetic git."

Malfoy grunted, throwing Harry and Fred off of him. "She deserved it. I'm NOT apologizing."

Suddenly Harry pushed Malfoy, and he toppled over the rock he had been laying by before, falling on his butt in the mud.

"Okay fine! If it'll make you guys shut up." He grumbled, standing up slowly and walking to where Emily had gone.

My POV

Anger pulsed through me as I sat on a log that had split from a tall tree. It was about four feet off the ground.

"Draco is such a jerk." I mumbled, "But am I really desperate?"

"Collins."

I groaned, annoyed that he was there. "Go away."

"Look" he replied, coming into view, "I'm supposed to be here to apologize."

"Yeah, like you're actually going to. Just forget it." I mumbled, lying down on the log, turning on my side away from him.

My back and butt were becoming cold, and I gripped the sides of the trunk to prevent myself from falling. The stars were sparkling and apparent, contrasting in the black sky.

"You're right." I heard him sneer, and I could feel his eyes burning holes in the back of my head.

A few minutes later I felt the log wobble, alerting me that Draco was getting on. "What are you doing?!" I exclaimed, sitting up, straddling the log.

He was staring intently at the ground, straddling the log also. He didn't answer.

"Fine. Ignore me." I muttered, lying back down.

I closed my eyes, and actually fell asleep on the log.

When I awoke Draco was gone. I looked down at the ground and he was sprawled out, snoring in the mud. I burst out laughing, and almost peed my pants as he jumped, surprised.

Groaning, he lay back down. I soon stopped and was pissed at him again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The next day, midday~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We all decided that we should each have assigned jobs so we can keep the camp running correctly. Marie and Fred both volunteered to fill the water culdron every morning. Marie didn't like Freds idea of making the lantreen. Everyone else got jobs like collecting firewood, making food, cleaning up, and of course Draco and I got the job of catching the fish and collecting the food.

"Just no meat ok?" Marie begged as Draco and I prepared to leave to go fishing.

"Fine," I rolled my eyes.

"I don't feel so good," Draco said holding his stomach.

Marie and I exchanged a glance then took a few steps back as Draco turned around and let out the fish from last night.

"Poor fishie," Marie said.

"Never saw it comin," I nodded.

"Ew. I'll go with you Em." Marie offered.

"This outta be good." I laughed, just imagining us trying to catch fish.

"Oh boy," Marie said as she grabbed a fishing pole from the log next to the fire pit and began walking into the forest area after saying goodbye to Fred who was laying down in the grass, ready to take a nap.

Once we reached the river, I stared at Marie a few feet away. The water seemed about a few feet deep and was crystal clear. Marie was already putting a worm on her hook and casting it into the calm water where it bobbed up and down. I did the same and we both perched the rods up and went to sit by a tree.

"So," she said, slapping her knees.

"So," I picked at a rock stuck in the mud.

"I think we should go swim," she suggested.

"Are you insane?" I asked, jumping up.

"Psh," she waved a hand at me, "if you haven't noticed that by now I think we have an even bigger problem."

I rolled my eyes, "We'll scare the fish away."

"So what?"

"Isn't that the whole point of coming out here?" I walked over to the edge where the water and land met.

"Well, I don't care. I think you just need to go into the water," she smirked wickedly and before I could react she lunged at me like a wildcat and tackled me into the water and we both submerged.

I swam up and gasped for air, "Marie!"

She was laughing maniacally, "Its so warm!"

I laughed too and splashed her, "What if there's sharks?"

"Or whales?" she asked.

"Or nematodes?"

"Or Crabs?"

"Or Goyles!?" I laughed.

"And maybe we will see a Snape slithering down the river bank!" she began to backstroke.

"Hey I have an idea," I said, swimming over to her a few feet away.

"What's that?" she asked, curious.

"Lets play-

I was cut off by something buzzing in my ear, when I whipped around I saw a bug as big as my fist flying around Marie and myself. We both began screeching and splashing around in the water, making it fly in the air all around us. I couldn't see anything around me but waves of river water airborne everywhere.

One we stopped for a second I noticed the bug flying right back at us and Marie started screaming, "It's a friggin dinosaur!"

I began laughing and trying to get the bug out of my face at the same time. Finally we calmed down again and realized that it was still hovering.

Marie jumped out of the water, grabbed a giant branch and held it like a baseball bat.

When the bug began to circle around her she swung it around like her life depended on it. She began running back and forth down the side of the river and swinging the branch in circles and different moves. Once she stopped to look around, the bug was nowhere to be found.

"You probably made it think you were insane and it gave up," I laughed from the water.

She was out of breath, "You don't mess with me buggy!"

I began to relax and lay on my back in the water. My mind began to wander but then I jumped up when I felt a wave of water come crashing over me.

Marie was laughing. She just jumped all the way from the land over about five feet in to me in the water.

"That kinda hurt," she said.

"Good God," I mumbled and swam to the edge of the river and sat down where the water was only a few inches deep.

Marie sat next to me and handed me a flat rock which I skipped across the river.

"So how's Fred?" I asked, skipping another rock she handed me.

"Good?" she seemed confused, "why?"

"Just wondering," I shrugged.

"Oh," she giggled, "yeah he's good."

"What is the sweetest thing he ever said to you?" I asked.

"Hmm," she thought, "that's a hard one. Maybe when he said that he couldn't live without me."

"Aww Mar!" I smiled, "that's so sweet!"

She blushed, "I know, he's amazing."

I laughed a little, "Do you think that you two will be together for like…forever?"

"I don't know. I really hope so," her face was redder than before.

I hugged her, "Promise I'll be your maid of honor!"

"Good lord Em! I'm fourteen! I don't plan on getting married anytime soon!"

"What's your favorite thing about him?"

"He makes me laugh and he like…I don't know, he is really really nice to me and he like puts up with my crap," she shrugged, "and the accent is kinda sexy."

I giggled, "I do dig a European accent."

About an hour later we still hadn't caught any fish. The fishing poles didn't work so I decided to use my hands.

"Ready?" I laughed, hovering above the water.

A golden fish caught my eye and I lurched forward, reaching for the fish. I missed and fell headfirst into the water.

A couple more tries and I finally got a fish. All we needed were about ten more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back at camp~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Did you get the fish?" Fred asked, holding his stomach. "I'm starving."

Marie rolled her eyes. "Yeah. We did."

"Oh Freddy, sweetie did you sleep well?" Fleur bounded over to Fred, who was still holding his stomach.

Marie growled a little and took a step forward, "Hey there Bolbaggin girl, why don't you back off?"

Fred just kind of looked at his feet when Fleur took another step towards him.

"Or what?" Fleur dared.

"Honey, you don't wanna go there," Marie glared at her.

I stood next to Marie, "Fleur, seriously back off."

"I don't think that is much of a threat coming from the girl who got used by Draco Malfoy and the girl who probably cant throw a punch for her life let alone date a guy as georgy as Freddy here," sniffed Fleur.

That made Marie furious she lunged at Fleur and I was right behind her to help. Marie and I both thrust a fist at both sides of her face, making her yelp in pain. I kneed her in the pelvis and Marie kicked out her legs, making her tumble to the ground. I heard Fred jump up and rush over to Marie to pull her off of Fleur and finally got her off. Me on the other hand kept on punching back and forth in Fleurs face, hoping to deform it in some way. Then I felt strong arms around my waist and they lifted me off of her. I turned to see Harry dragging me off of Fleur.

I huffed, "Let me CRUCIFY her!"

"I don't see that going over well with the Ministry of Magic," Fred sighed, still restraining Marie.

I noticed Harry's arms were still around me and I awkwardly shook him off, "I don't care."

Marie spoke between her teeth, "What a gargoyle!"

Fred chuckled, "That's a new one."

Marie looked at him, "I can't believe she would hit on you like that!"

I heard Fred whisper to her, "You know my heart belongs to you love."

She sighed and they both sat down on a log, while Fleur cried in the mud, holding her eye. Harry reluctantly stepped over to her. "Are you ok?"

"What do you THINK?!" she wailed, as Cedric and Cho Chang emerged from the woods.

"What happened?" Cho asked, looking down at Fleur, then back up at Harry.

He shrugged. "Just a fight."

Cedric started laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"When we were in the woods we saw Draco puking his guts out." He chuckled. "While he was peeing."

"Ew." I made a face. "That's so nasty."

Suddenly we heard screaming, coming closer and closer from the woods.

"That the…"

We all turned as Draco came running, pants down. A duck following him

"Get the FUCK away from me you stupid duck!" he screamed, struggling to pull his pants up as he was fleeing.

I began cracking up, along with Harry and Fred.

"Malfoy what happened?" Harry chuckled, me hanging onto his shoulder for support.

Finally he got his pants back on and he turned around, punted the duck, and then continued to explain. "I was peeing and this duck came over and it tried to bite me…in places…"

I almost peed myself it was so funny. Marie just had a dumbfounded face on, not sure how to react.

Malfoy looked down at Fleur, "What happened to you?"

She pointed dramatically at Marie and then at me, "Those two savages attacked me!"

Fred rolled his eyes and Marie growled at Fleur a bit, "She deserved it."

Fred tightened his grip around her waist. I snapped, "Fleur is just being a slut."

Marie let out a sharp laugh, "Tramp."

I laughed too, "Ho!"

"Skank!" Marie hooted.

I hollered, "Prostitute!"

"Stop!" Fleur begged, "it is not my fault that I want your boyfriend Marie you cow!"

"You trampy fucking ostrich legged..BITCH!" Marie shouted back.

At this time Draco was laughing hysterically, Fred looked like he was surprised and shocked but like he was proud in a way, Harry seemed emotionless, Cedric and Hermoine seemed shocked, Krum Cake seemed dumb as usual and unknowing to what was happening, Parvarti was smiling wickedly, Fleur's date was just kind of sleeping in the background not caring, and I was laughing to myself quietly.

"Ok let's just stop fighting we have to work." Harry ordered.

"Fine." I groaned, not wanting to do anything at the moment.

"I will prepare the food!" Hermione anounnced cheerfully.

"'Ermione I will 'elp." Krum grunted dumbly, following Hermione.

"Well. I'm bored." I laughed, lying down on the grass.

"Quit complaining." Draco sneered.

I ignored him. However, Marie persisted to say something. "Draco will you just shut up no one wants you here."

He opened his mouth to say something but Fred gave him a death glare and he stopped.

Everyone else but Fred and I left, Marie went to help Hermione and Krum cook.

I sat down in the grass and Fred sat next to me.

"So…" I said awkwardly.

"So…I think you should go out with Seamus."

"What? Why?"

He gave me a weird look. "Isn't it obvious? Malfoy's a jerk and Seamus is nice. Plus, he's head over heels for you."

I smiled. "How do you know that?"

He shrugged. "He kinda spilled it out when we were talking. You know…guys night."

I giggled. "Guys night? Sounds dorky."

"Oh, well, you get great stuff there." He grinned wickedly. "Like blackmail. I have so much on George and Ron. Anyway, back to Seamus. He's a really nice guy you know."

"I know but," I sighed, "He's not really my type."

"So a selfish, annoying git is your type? C'mon you deserve so much better than him."

"Are you gonna sit there all day and sulk gonna get up off your arses?" Draco sneered, his icy eyes trained on me and Fred.

We rolled our eyes, ignoring him, and continued talking.
