~coincidence~

*Maria*

I kept thinking about everything, how letting all this go was a huge step for me but next thing is Enzo. I have to let go whatever it is I feel for him, when he kissed me I shouldn't have felt the urge to kiss him back.

He may have not meant it but I can't keep this up with him. He is my friend and will only be my friend.

I heard a knock on my door snapping me out of my thoughts. "It's open" I yelled as Cedric came in with a blanket and soup.

"What's all this for" I ask confused as he sets the soup next to the nightstand.

"You told me you didn't feel well so I'm hoping this would help you" the boy said with a cheeky smile.

He takes a seat next to me a bit awkwardly.

"I don't bite Diggory" I roll my eyes patting the seat next to me.

"how contagious are you" he teases while getting in the covers next to me. I scoot over closer to his warm body and lay my head on his chest.

"Merlin you're freezing" he says shivering a bit while his warm body hugs me tighter.

"I always am" I say quietly while we just stare at random objects in the room enjoying the silence.

I started to doze off and I fell asleep in Cedric's arms. His warm honey and oak scent brought me comfort. It was relaxing everything felt normal.

I woke up to the sound of pages being flipped. I looked over at Cedric who was reading a book peacefully as his pink lips parted in concentration.

"How long did I sleep for?" I asked stretching.

"2 hours" he says placing a gentle kiss on my head, Setting his book down.

I had realized those 2 hours were probably the best rest I've had. No nightmares no overthinking just peace. It felt nice to have a clear mind for once.

"You stayed" I smile slightly, as his cheeks started to turn a bit pink.

"Of course I did" he places a soft kiss on my lips with a smile.

"I should be going love" he glances over at the clock.

"Okay, well thank you again I'll see you tomorrow" I smile while I kiss him on his cheek.

When he left I grabbed the book he was reading and carried on with it. I read till my eyes were nearly shutting.

As soon as I was about to close them I seen a shadowy figure standing infront of my bed. I immediately jumped up looking around and it was nobody.

I started to breath heavily from the feeling of being watched. I looked around the whole room feeling everything spin, It was a very strange feeling.

I made way to the common room barley walking straight as the room still felt like it was going in circles around me. I seen Enzo talking to Draco.

"Hey Mari" enzo says giving me a smile. I walk over to him still stumbling a bit losing my balance.

"Woah Maria" Enzo calls out a bit more concerned. Next thing I knew I was about to hit the ground until I felt someone catch me.

"Call Madam Pomfrey" I hear someone say.

"I've got you darling, its going to be okay" I heard a fimilar voice speak. But everything sounded muffled and distant. The room still felt like it was going in circles I seen a bright light flash.
