The one that got away || DM

009

The only thing I did yesterday was sleep. Nia wanted me to join the 'gang' for some beers, I turned her down.

My mind starts to wander to my dream I had Saturday night.

I remember exactly when my grandma told me that. I was 7. I never forgot it.
It was her worst fear.

After she told me that she died.

I snap out of my thoughts and get out of bed. I put on something that wouldn't show off my body.

I still feel nothing. So I began thinking of what would make me feel something. Sex hell no. Yelling at someone? Maybe Draco. Kissing someone? Cedric?

I don't want to use someone, and I don't know if I could handle a kiss. But I need to feel something or I just don't see the point of being here.

I walk out of my dorm with my bags and see Blaise and Nia shagging. So that's where she was last night.

"You guys are going to miss breakfast" I chuckle.

"Ugh, I don't care" She puts her face in Blaise's neck.

Gross.

"Suit yourself" I sigh and walk out of the portrait.

I walk down the strangely silent corridor and into the great hall.

I see everyone is already there eating their food.

I sit down next to Theo.

"Good morning" He smiles.

"Good morning" I smile back.

I hear Draco huff out of disgust.

"Good morning to you too," I say to Draco.

"Attention" Professor Dumbledore announces.

I turn to look at him.

"We will be having a yule ball this year following the Triwizard Tournament"

The whole room turns into whispers of excitement.

I groan. I hate dances and anything to do with love.

"Choose your partners wisely and you will practice dancing with Professor McGonagall" Professor Dumbledore finishes.

"Who are you going to go with" Theo nudges me.

"It's way too early to tell" I groan.

"Do you not want to go?" Theo asks.

"I don't know, I just hate love" I answer honestly.

Draco looks up from his plate interested.

"Who are you going to go with Draco?" I ask.

"Probably Parkinson" He sighs.

Their relationship has been... Complicated.

"Good luck with that, see you guys later," I say while getting up from my seat and walking out of the great hall.

"Jessa!" I see Cedric with his posse. I give a small wave and kept walking.

"Wait" He makes sure to catch me by the shoulder this time.

"Hi Cedric"

"I wanted to ask if you're up for that date?" He smiles.

"Uh- Sure" I smile.

"I will meet you at three broomsticks at 4:00," He says.

"Okay," I say.

He smiles and walks away.
