here i am, in the transfiguration class with potter, granger and weasley. they ( granger and weasley ) finally agree for me to help their dear chosen one friend. even though i'm sure that weasley's a lot calmer than granger towards me.

i sat on a desk, watching. weasley's eating chocolate frogs beside me on a stool. granger's scolding potter about the wand movement. potter's looking tired of granger's lessons, which she's very strict and not even giving him five minutes to break.

"granger! give him a break, he's been trying it for 3 hours" i told her. that's a fact, we've been in this classroom for approximately 5 hours and i already told draco to not looking for me. i've been watching them for the past 2 hours, and before that, i play wizard's chess with weasley —he's surprisingly really good at it, and i read a book, eating, basically just chilling and not teaching.

"no! he can't! the task is in 4 days" granger told potter to try the movement and say the incantation.

"i know, that's why he needs to eat and sleep if he didn't do any of that, he'll be sick and i'm pretty sure if you're giving him 15 minutes for him to catch a breath, to lay off a bit and eat, he'll do it in one try only"

"whatever! i'm going to the library and if in 15 minutes harry's not practising i'll not give you the answer for potions test!" she takes her bag and gets out of the classroom angrily. potter lays on the ground in starfish position tiredly.

i take a muffin and an apple from my bag that i took from breakfast this morning and give it to him. "eat, you'll feel better, at least not as hungry".

weasley's now sleeping with his head on the desk, using a book as a pillow. potter took the muffin and start to eat it. after he's done eating, he lays back again for another 5 minutes. we talk a bit, about what he supposed to do if the charm fails, what if he's burnt to death and a lot of what-ifs. "thank you, for the food and help me practising" he says with a small smile plays on his lips.

"yea sure, let's practise!" i stand up and extend my arm for him to take. just after we stand up, granger gets into the room not so calmly and demand him to try again immediately. she's looking at him expectantly, her arms folded in front of her chest and i told him again the wand movement, incantation.

"accio book!" the book that been used by weasley as a pillow flew out and now on potter's hand. weasley's head hit the desk harshly, made a sound of 'thump!'. he immediately wakes up, panics all over his face whilst granger jumping up and down happily and clapping her hand. granger move towards potter and hug him tightly, suffocating him.

"mione, c-can't b-breath" he tried to push granger away.

"i can't believe it!" she pulls away and drags him and weasley to the common room to 'celebrate' it and giving them the potions test answer i suppose. potter looks at me, who still standing with an almost unnoticeable smile on my lips, and nod his head gratefully to me. at least some of them appreciate me.

today's the first task will be held. i seat next to my boyfriend and my friends. draco's arm wrapped around my shoulder, whilst we're talking. in my mind, i wonder what if potter fails? not that i friends with him or whatsoever, i just don't want to disappoint my mum and her boyfriend. they're both death eaters, the proud and loyal one.

potter comes to the field and the dragon -hungarian horntail, the most dangerous one- immediately start to attack him. potter starts to climb the rocks to try to take the golden egg, but the dragon attacking him once more. he hides behind a big rock from the dragon sight. i hear granger shouting "your wand harry! your wand!" and from that, he did the wand movement with his wand in his hand and say "accio firebolt!" for a moment i thought the charms fail as we don't see anything comes to our sight, but just a few seconds after that his firebolt comes and he hops onto it, trying to take the golden egg but the dragon breaths fire to his place and he's flying to the sky.

when the dragon following him to soaring to the sky until we have nothing to watch, all of us began to panic especially dumbledore. i just knew that he will do anything to save that boy. fuck favouritism.

after 10 minutes or so, potter's came into the view, with his firebolt burnt in the end, robes burnt a bit too, scars and blood on his face. he finally managed to take the golden egg and i'm glad, even though i'm not showing it.

"saint potter! it isn't hard to battle a dragon if you're smart enough, i could battle it without resulting scars and my blood smeared on my face, just dragon's blood on my hand" draco says smugly. he definitely jealous of the attention potter's got and i don't blame him for it. his father does not even care if draco's sick, usually it was just his mum. his father only cares for him when it comes to grades, status, association with purebloods, etc. just like what my mother did to me or she never even cares except her intention to make me a bloody death eater just like her.

"do you really have to spend more time with him?" since i was helping potter to teach him the charms, i've been not spending enough time alone with draco. he's kinda possessive but a huge softie inside and i'm okay with it.

"lower your voice draco... but yeah i should, until the last task draco, you know how much i don't want to be a disappointment to mother and her boyfriend right? just like you want to prove to your father that you're good. good enough to handle business, good enough to-" i was cut by draco holding my face in his hands and kiss me sweetly on the lips.

"yea..." he smiles lightly. when it comes to proving, disappointment, draco always understand it.

and now let's see with the next task.
