You were sat down at the bleachers by the Professor and a few students, those few being Hermione, Harry and Ron. They all crowed around you when your got a proper grasp on your conciousness once more. You Hadn't realized Draco was giving Pansy a death glare- or that Pansy was looking at you with concern. When the trio realized you had your thoughts about you once more they flooded you with questions, "(Y/n), are you alright?" Ron asked, before you could bring yourself to answer Hermione spoke up, "Of course she's not fine, she practically fainted infront of the entire class." "Guys just give her some space." Harry spoke up. Draco still silent with silent rage that you didnt even notice he was there at all.

"Yeah, guys I'm fine. Really." You said, your voice weak if not tired, "Uh, no you're not." Hermione argued, "Healthy people dont faint in the middle of class." "Really, I must have not eaten enough, I just passed out it's nothing serious." You said still trying to reassure them that you were okay. "Not eaten enough? What, are the rest of the Slytherines rabid dogs now bullying you out of your food?" Hermione pressured. You lightly shook your head and Draco glanced at Hermione with a huff before putting his attention elsewhere.

"Hermione they arent savages. Look this is my first time in a school, its huge. I was just a little anxious, really, I'm fine." Seeing as you had opened up to them they took that as an answer, "Fine. But it better not happen again." Hermione said, causing you to chuckle, "Alright, promise." You said

Draco had left the room. You gaze as his figure leaving the class and then at the clock.. 'He stayed after class for me..?' You thought to yourself. Seeing a flustered Pansy run after him. Did he think Pansy caused this? Knowing the real reason you had to fix this misunderstanding. "Hey, guys, I have to go." You said, they tried to stop you but you were just out of arms reach for them to grab you and sit you back down.

You heard a commotion in the Slytherin common room, "You expect me to believe you, Pansy of all people had nothing to do with, (Y/n) nearly passing out on the floor?" Draco asked, "I had nothing to do with it why wont you believe me?!" Pansy pleaded, "I dont know Pansy, maybe becuase one minute she's fine, she leaves my side for 3 minutes, sits to chat with you and ends up on the floor!" He argued, practically fuming, "What's your excuse Pansy? An invisible spiteful ghost knocked her upside the head?!" He continued, "Maybe?!" She said not knowing herself what had happened, "What'd you use, poison? Where is it?!" He said and a struggle could be heard inside, "Draco!!" "Or was it a spell?" He asked searching her robes.

You never liked confrontation but it was up to you now. "Pureblood." With this the painting opened, "Draco, it's not her fault." You called to him, causing him to push Pansy away with disgust. Pansy staggered away, keeping her distance, shock in her eyes as she had never known Draco to act as such.

He approached you, despite his anger and aggressive approach theres wasnt a hint of fear in your eyes, you trusted him. "Then who?" He demanded, "It wasnt a who but what." He remained silent, "My boggart almost killed our entire class, Draco. In divination the figure in my cup meant murder. Some one is going to die becuase of me- in a school where anything is possible. And it's going to happen-- becuase of me. Someone I know could die tomorrow and it would be all my fault." Only when you spoke to him of this did fear show in your eyes and tear welled up out of that far- your greatest fear. "My greatest fear is going to come true..." your voice croaked and before you could react he held you tightly in his embrace. Not a word was spoken just your muffled sobs that you fought to hold back. You gripped tightly onto his robe. "No one is dying." He uttered, stroking the back of your head.

Pansy watched the scene unfold painfully, whever she came crying to Draco he pushed her off, complaining she'd stain his clothes or to handle the issue herself. With a broken heart she whipped around and went into her room.

The two of you stood there in eachothers embrace for quite awhile until you pulled away quickly, causing him to look down at you, "Sorry, I know you and Pansy ar-" he interrupted you, "We're not together." He clarified, "Oh- she said that" "She always says that." He said slightly annoyed, you couldnt help but chuckle, "I think she likes you~" you teased, lightly nudging him in the arm with your loosely closed hand. He simply rolled your eyes, a small smirk knowing that you felt better, "Go wash up, you look like a mess." He huffed lightly. You wiped your tear-stained face and nodded, lightly chuckling, "Yeah, see you at lunch."

On your way to lunch you stopped by the girls restroom to wash up your face someone approached you, it was Pansy, "Oh, he-" you were cut off as she spoke, "Me and Draco arent actually dating. Just thought youd like to know." She said her usual stand off nature showing quite well, but it brought a smile to your face, "Thank you." You uttered, loud enough for her to hear, causing her to freeze up before continuing down the hall.

You smiled softly and finished washing up before heading out, accidentally bumping into someone- "Oh, I'm so... sorry." You spoke frantic at first but his charming features caught you off gaurd, "(Y/n), right?" The male asked, your mouth hang open for a second before realizing he was talking to you, "Oh- yes, yeh, that's, that's my name." You said, laughing lightly at your own introduction, "Cedrick Diggory." He said holding out his hand, "(Y/n)!" You said shying off to the side and shook his hand, "And you already know. That." You weren't big on socializing in the first place and all of a sudden you were ten times worse. It causes the both of you to chuckle, "There's a Quitich match after lunch today, I was wondering if i could get a little luck from the new girl if she were be as so kind to come cheer for me." He asked. It took to a minute for what he said to work it's way through your head, "Um- yes. Of course! I'll be there before you start." A warm smile crept up on his face, almost excited. "I'll see you there then." He spoke those departing words to you as you froze in the halls, wondering if what happend-- just happened. You couldnt wipe the smile off of your face and subconsciously swept your soft, (h/c) hair behind your ear.
