     It was the afternoon, I was sitting in the back of the library reading my book. There was more whispering then usual.

     I tried my best to ignore it. I got up and started walking out. As I walked past the tables, people started to stared at me.

That was weird.

  When I made it to potions class I took my seat next to Draco. When I sat down he sighed.

   When the lesson started I saw people turning back to look at me. I shrugged and rolled my eyes.

What was the issue, geez.

    Snape told us to make a potion, I had a problem paying attention.

  I opened my book and tried to look for the instructions.

  Draco muttered something under his breath.

I know I heard my name.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing." He sneered.

What was his problem. Why was everyone looking at me?

  When class was over Draco stormed out before I could talk to him.

I walked quickly down the hallway to catch up to him.

"Draco.."

"Stop following me." He huffed.

"What's your problem this time?"

He stopped walking and turned back to me.

He took a few steps towards me.

"I told you to stop following me."

He grabbed my wrist and held it tightly.

"Ow— Draco." I tried to get my hand away but I couldn't do it.

I felt my back hit the cold hallway wall.

His was still holding on to my wrist.

"It's unfortunate that they died, guess you were a bad daughter huh?"

As he held my left wrist I lifted my right hand.

I smacked him across the face.

He let go of me and backed up in shock.

I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him close to my face.

"Don't you ever talk to me like that again."

I pushed him back and walked away.

L͟A͟T͟E͟R͟:͟

I sat in the common room alone, reading while everyone was at dinner.

I didn't want to go. With all the drama and the random stares, I lost my appetite.

I heard the door open. I looked up, to my surprise I saw Cedric.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"You weren't at dinner so I assume you don't feel well. I brought you a cookie though."

He sat down next to me and handed me a sprinkled sugar cookie.

I looked up and smiled at him.

Why was he so nice to me? I didn't deserve it.

I leaned in and gave him a quick hug.

I wasn't such a "huggy" person so I tried my best.

C͟E͟D͟R͟I͟C͟'S͟ P͟O͟V͟:

When I handed her the cookie she smiled at me.

She's been through a lot. I think she needs someone who can stand by her and make her happy.

She didn't say anything.

She leaned in and gave me a hug. It lasted about 5 seconds, but I appreciated it a lot.

Y͟/͟N͟ P͟O͟V͟:

Cedric and I talked for a while.

"Yeah, everyone was staring at me today." I said.

"Well I mean, I don't blame them. You are beautiful." He laughed.

I felt my face getting hot.

"Not like that. I mean like I did something wrong."

He shrugged.

"People can be strange sometimes, I wouldn't worry about it."

L͟A͟T͟E͟R͟:͟

I sat on my bed in my room and did my homework. I heard a knock at my door. I walked over and opened it.

"Y/n..."

"What do you want." I asked.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted like that."

Draco actually seemed upset.

"Okay." I said with no emotion.

He stood there for a moment. I don't think he knew how to respond.

"Good night..." He said.

"Bye." I said as I shut the door.

I got my towel and headed to the shower.

  I started washing my hair.

Oh shit. What if everyone knows I slept with Draco.

Was that why everyone was looking at me?

No, no way. I was just overthinking.

I chose not to think about it.
