~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   It had been a while since I had gotten hurt from quidditch. It was June 23rd, the day before the third task.

   I wanted Cedric to win so badly. He's such a good person and he deserves to be happy.

The day of the tournament:

  When I went to breakfast I walked over to him to check how he was doing.

"Hey," I tapped his shoulder to get his attention.

"O-oh, hello," he seemed jumpy.

"You're going to do great trust me."

He looked over at me and grinned.

"I hope so," he said.

"I'll talk to you before you go okay?"

He nodded and I walked back to the slytherin table.

"..he has to lose, there's no way he can beat them."

I sat down in my usual spot next to Draco.

"Who's losing?" I asked.

"Potter...obviously," Draco said with a full mouth of pancakes.

"Who you guys rooting for?" I asked.

"Krum," Blaise, Crabbe, and Goyle all said.

"I'm rooting for Cedric." Pansy said as she winked at me.

Draco rolled his eyes.

"Why?" He asked.

"Um have you seen him? He's hot and a gentleman," Pansy knew she would annoy Draco by saying that.

I had to admit seeing Draco annoyed made me laugh.

"I'm a gentleman..." Draco mumbled under his breath.

   Pansy and I giggled as Draco angrily shoved more pancakes in his mouth.

LATER:

  We were all relaxing in the common room until we had to go to the tournament.

I read my book as the boys played cards and made fun of Harry, mainly about how badly he was going to lose.

Pansy and I made a poster for Cedric.

It was finally 7:50 and everyone was walking out of their rooms after getting ready.

Draco walked out in an all black suit with Crabbe and Goyle following in the back.

"Wow, fancy." I said.

He smirked and tightened his tie.

"Ready to go then?" Blaise asked everyone.

Everyone agreed and we started walking out.

Suddenly I heard talking. I turned around to see if anyone was there.

Everything around me turned dark. I looked down and I stood over Cedric's dead body.

The vision showed the cup being hexed.

I knew I couldn't let anyone die.

I snapped out of it and everyone was staring at me.

"You good?" Pansy asked.

"Yeah sorry I just blanked out for a sec."

We kept walking and when we got there we took our seats.
