When Cedric's class was over he came to back to the nurse to check on me like he promised.

When he came in he was carrying a bag of candy.

"Hey, you're back."

"Yes, and I brought you something."

He handed me the bag of candy as I sat up.

"It was only a headache, but thank you," I laughed.

I was thankful for having Cedric, I just didn't know how to tell him.

"So later I wanted to sneak out and walk around a bit, maybe look at the stars too. Want to come with me?" He asked.

"Unless you aren't feeling up to it-

"Yes. I'd love that," I said.

  My headache was completely gone yet Cedric still felt the need to keep asking me if I was okay.

  When the nurse told me I could go back I got up and grabbed my bag.

   Cedric and I walked to the Slytherin common room together.

   I would have wanted him to come in but I knew due to the circumstances, it wouldn't be wise.

  "I'll meet you outside at 2:30, okay?"

"Mhmm." I said.

  As Cedric walked away I started walking into the common room.

I saw Draco sitting alone with Crabbe.

They seemed to be having a serious conversation.

I tried to go to my room quietly.

"Y/n?" Draco said.

"Yea?"

"Crabbe needs girl advice, and well...you're a girl so."

I sat down on the couch across from them.

"Ask away I guess."

"Well, I like this girl and I think she might like me back but I don't know why she would even like me." Crabbe looked down with a sigh.

"Well...who's the girl?" I ask.

I have a feeling who it is.

"It's Meredith, Meredith Kingsleigh."

He blushed.

I was right.

"Aww Crabbe, that's so cute." I tried to control my excitement.

"Nooo it's not 'cute' it's bad. I'm not nearly good enough for a girl like that. She's smart, and sweet, and beautiful. Why would a girl like that like a guy like..me?"

"Crabbe you are one of my childhood friends. You were always there for me all the time, and if she doesn't realize how spectacular you are then she's clearly not as smart as you say."

I didn't expect Draco to say that, or anything actually.

"I saw the way Meredith looks at you Crabbe, friends don't look at each other like that."

As I said that my eyes shifted to Draco who was already looking at me.

"So, you both think I should tell her?"
