Rollercoaster LOVE

Task Numero Uno

"George, please!" I exclaimed.

"Come on, Amber. Just this once." he begged.

"I absolutely will not allow you to prank him just because he spoke with me." I tell him.

George and Fred found out about my conversation with Draco and they were mad for whatever reason.

"Sparks, he deserves it." Fred states.

"He was being kind and checking on me. I chased him, why would you want to get back at him for that?" I say to them.

George scoffs and walks away.

"Freddie, what is his issue?" I asked him.

"Ah, you'll see eventually." Fred winks chasing after his twin. I shrug and head to my class with Slytherin.

I have Charms with Draco as my partner. We got on well and his friends never tantilize me. Hermione, Ron, and Harry don't get it but don't ask questions. I'm thankful for that. They knew what my parents had asked of me and didn't want to put too much pressure on me.

"Draco, you're doing it wrong." I tell him.

"Oh yeah? How would you do it then, Sparks? Go on charms master." Draco teases.

I show him with a flick of my wand and make the him smile. When I went to demonstrate it the second time he grabbed my wrist and poked my side. We were giggling and got interrupted by Professor Flitwick. We both demonstrate the charm and he asks us to just keep our volume down causing us both to giggle.

"See you got us in trouble." I tell him.

"He's just jealous." Draco said.

"What of your ego?" I tease.

"No, that I get to do this-" Draco says as he pokes my side once again causing me to giggle. I'm quieter this time and we spend the rest of class practicing our charm.

"Dragons? That's the first task?" I repeat back to Harry.

He came to tell us how Ron passively told him about the first task and that's why Charlie was in town. I was sitting with the twins outside studying.

"Harry, I fear for you." I say to him. I suggest he consult with Hermione on some charms. He nods and heads off in search of her.

"Heard you and Malfoy were flirting?" George says to me.

"Oh, hush. It wasn't that big of a deal." I tell him.

Lately, George has been more possesive of me. In a way I didn't mind but sometimes he read too much into things.

"Maybe not to you." Fred adds.

"Freddie, not you too." I whine.

"Please be careful near him. I don't trust him." George tells me.

"It's not anything to read into." I assure him.

It really wasn't. Sure, Draco made me happy and made my heart skip a beat but it's not like it was with George.

"Why are you so jealous, George?" I ask him.

"Yeah, Georgie. Why so jealous?" Fred mocks.

"Yeah, Freddie, Why so Jealous?" George retorts.

I sigh. I don't understand boys. I tell them I'll meet up with them later and head off to find Hermione and Harry. If they were going to distract me I might as well make it something productive.

The first task had finally come and Harry didn't have a plan. Not that he told me anyway. The champions were tasked with retrieving the egg from the selected Dragon. Hermione ran to see him but had an interference with Rita Skeeter. She was then forced out of the tent and returned to us. Ron was over their little spat and cheered for Harry.

I hadn't talked to Draco after the pin stunt he pulled. Everytime I get closer to him he seemed to push me further away. Mad Eye turned him into a ferret and got scolded by McGonagall. He retreated and yelled something about his dad.

I sigh at  the memory and watch as Harry comes out. He got the Hungarian Horntail. It was the most aggressive according to George out of all the dragons that were presented today. Harry looked so small facing it. He was in shock coming out of the tent into the arena.

"Your wand. Harry! Use your wand!" Hermione shouted. I swear he'd be dead without her.

He accio'd his broom and managed to narrowly escaped being burned. In the end he was able to get the egg causing the crowd to celebrate! They had a hard time bringing hte dragon back but eventually were able to.

Gryffindor decided to throw a party for Harry. Of course the other houses and schools were invited to attend. I had a firewhiskey in my hand and stood in a corner watching everyone. George and Fred were off talking to some girls while Harry was surrounded by his friends including Hermione and Ron.

I sighed and took a sip of my drink glancing at George. It was my first time invited to a house party like this and I didn't want to be standing alone. I didn't really know anyone else who was there. When I glanced aroudn the room I noticed a Durmstang boy staring at me. I smiled which he took as an invitation to come over and speak with me.

He bowed.

"My name is Maxim. May I ask yours?" he introduced himself.

"Amber Sparks." I reply giggling as he takes my hand to kiss it.

Maxim kept me company for awhile and told me about Durmstrang and I told him about Hogwarts. He was very kind and sat with me most of the party. I wasn't watching how much I was drinking and started feeling light headed. I thanked him and bid farewell and went out into the hall to get some fresh air. I bumped into Draco standing outside of our common room.

"Sparks." He breaths out my name pulling me into a hug. He smells the whiskey,"are you drunk?"

"No, I had a little and needed fresh air." I manage to say with out slurring.

"Where's your Weasels?" he asks me.

I shrug and go to take another sip of my drink. He takes it out of my hands and I pout. He sighs and asks for the password. He walks me back into the party and some people turn around and stare confused by my companion. I had my arm hooked through his and was skipping.  He walked straight up to George and Fred scaring the girls off.

"Take care of her, please." Draco asks of them.

"You don't need to tell us, Malfoy." Fred says.

I leaned over to whisper to Draco and he bent down to lend me his ear.

"You looked for me when nobody else did." I pulled away and giggled.

He looks at the twins with a look of pure hatred. He takes my arm and tells me to show him my room. I don't remember much else but according to Ginny and Hermione he ignored them as he tucked me into bed. He asked them to change me and tucked me in. He sat with me until I fell asleep and didn't say a word to anyone.
