/Hermione's POV
"show me again... ah yes, not long now... Hermione, Harry at last! Wormtail step side so I can give our guests a proper greeting" a flash of green light and two screams, one far too familiar, reached my senses
"Hermione? Hermione wake up! It's the second task today"
I have no bloody idea what that was but I know im not telling anyone about it, hell no
"oh yeah..." I felt physically ill, my first thought was maybe it's because of the dream but that doesn't make sense because it is just a dream
"are you ok? You look sick"
she should not have said the word 'sick' because I had to run to the bathroom and spew my guts out into the toilet bowl
"oh- oh no, come here" Wren had followed me inside and had my hair up behind my head "awh... oh- what happened?"
"I- I don't know" I know, whoever the hell is in my mind did this
"alright... stay here a sec"
"does it look like I can move right now?" she ignored my sarcastic comment and rushed out of the room. this doesn't feel like normal sickness though, it feels a lot more freaking painful than that
"here she is" I heard two pairs of footsteps coming back A minute later
"what's wrong mione" Draco... DRACO? NO, NO, NO
"nothing you need to know, you cannot see me like this" he kneeled next to me and took Wren's space
"I don't care what you want me to see, I'm here and you can't push me away this time, you don't have enough strength to"
"alright, fine, but don't you dare tell anyone of this"
"I... might not" I tried slapping his hand but he held it before I could
"you can be so cringy when you want to be you know" I smiled dropping my head onto the toilet seat (yeah, yeah gross) and intwining my fingers with his
"yeah, well, don't get used to it"
*
"you can't stop me, I missed a few lessons and I am fine, I can't miss this task"
I missed three lessons today so I would be well enough to go see the task yet Wren, Blaise, Draco and Daphne refused to let me leave
"We can stop you, you're not going" Blaise was looking through my wardrobe with Daphne for my clothes
"sorry, McGonagall's orders" Wren was doing her makeup in Astoria's vanity
"you can't force me" I tried making a run for it
"ah, ah" Draco used some kind of jinx to keep me in place
"you're a horrible human"
"ah yes, but you love me"
he is gonna make that some kind of comeback forever now isn't he?
*
"Potter won because he 'tried to save everyone' moral twat, anyway, Diggory tied with him, Krum came second and Fleur came third"
I was still annoyed by what they did earlier today, but Wren was catching me up to date at dinner
"Wren, I do not have a care in the world about that task after you refused to let me go" I was just moving things around my plate, not eating
"it was for your own good. eat your food or your gonna be sick again"
"that doesn't make any sense"
-
"come on, let's go somewhere"
after I had finished Draco pulled me along with him, out of the great hall, through the corridor and out of the grounds to the starry sky
"where are we going?" I laughed, trying to run beside him instead of him dragging me along behind him
"just around... here"
I had never seen this part of Hogwarts before, it was gorgeous, a long cliff overlooking the black lake, the waves rippling together, causing a beach-like sound, the stars decorating the blackness of the sky above us
"this... is amazing, when did you find this?" we sat down at the edge of the cliff, watching the stars above us
"a few months back, after a particularly bad howler from father, I was looking for somewhere to chill and I found this"
"it's beautiful Draco, really"
"yeah... beautiful" I looked to the side, he wasn't looking at the stars, he was looking at me
"you're a real simp when your not around the Gryffindors huh?" I nudged him teasingly
"only when im around you, yes"
"never thought I'd see the day that Draco Malfoy is being sappy towards anyone other than himself"
"well... you know why I did bring you out here? There" he pointed to the darkness above us and drew something with his finger "is my Draco constellation"
all of the Malfoy family members were named after constellations; I had never actually seen Draco's though
"and the narcissistic Draco is back"
Sorry it was short this time
