I woke up from the gentle sleep I had last night, remembering my time with Draco. To my surprise, I found tear stains on my pillow. Even in my sleep, my mind wasn't putting the fact that I wouldn't see him until after summer to rest.
I strolled along to the common room, acting like nothing happened. Luckily, no one suspected anything, nor did they see us together last night.
Zacharias greeted me with one of his warm hugs. "Hello, Fee." he smiled, "Did you enjoy the party last night?"
"Oh, yeah. It was... good. You?"
"Yeah, good. Didn't see much of you though, where were you hanging then?"
I hesitated, "Oh, just... around. Y'know?"
He laughed cheerfully, "Fair enough. I'm hungry, let's get breakfast." I walked with him down to the hall, followed by Hannah, Justin and Ernie.
We sat down at an empty table and began to eat, well, from the exception of me. I wasn't hungry; I kept thinking about not seeing Draco. At first I couldn't get him off my mind because I'd be going to the ball with him, and that I'd see plenty of him. Now, it's because I won't see him at all.
"Not hungry, Fee?" Justin asked, eating some toast.
"Not really, I ate quite a lot last night. I'll just have this." I picked up a bright green apple and bit into it. "I just need to go talk to Ced, guys. I'll be back later, if not I'll see you in the common room before we leave."
"Okay, laters." said Ernie, and they all waved.
I was careful in saying who I needed to talk to, at first I was going to say Luna but she was in the hall already and it would've been suspicious if I left the hall when she was quite obviously there. However, despite the excuse to see Draco, I really did need to talk to Cedric, I wanted to tell him everything; we never kept secrets from eachother.
After I walked out of the hall, I threw the apple away. I physically couldn't eat - I wasnt at all hungry, I just didn't want my friends to worry.
Upon my journey to find Draco, I stumbled across Oliver Wood, Cedric's best friend who I became good friends with in my first year due to joining the Quidditch team.
"Hi, Fee!" he said, happily. "I hope you're feeling better after that Quidditch incident!"
I giggled, "I am, thanks. Don't know what exactly happened though, to be quite honest."
"Ah well, sometimes it just happens. Anyway, I better be off. I'll see you after summer then?"
"Sure, have a good holiday." I hugged him. Oliver often told me how much I reminded him of Cedric - personality, appearance and at Quidditch.
"You too." he smiled, and walked to the main hall.
I carried on searching for Draco. After about ten minutes, I gave up looking and was about to turn back to the hall, deciding that I'll speak to him before we get on the train back... until I saw the familiar blonde hair in the distance.
I ran over, regardless of who was watching or what they thought; he was all that mattered. His beautiful face softened when he saw me running towards him. He held out his arms and I gracefully fell into them, not caring about anyone or anything else.
