„Ced, uhm, could you...could we...do you have time for me?" I ask, my arms crossed in front of my chest.

„Y/n, nice to see you again!" Polly says, sarcastically, and gives me a mean smile, I can't remember her being like that a single time.

„Eh...yeah. Sure, y/n." Cedric gets up, and in this moment, all eyes are on us, once again.

„Cedric's a Virgin!" A boy from Slytherin yells and the other ones start laughing, everyone is pointing at Cedric, I can see how uncomfortable he is, but he tries to act like he wouldn't care.

In front of the Great Hall, right next to the door, he stops, crosses his arms in front of his chest and looks at me. "What do you want?"

"I..." I blush, and my palms start sweating. I hate it.

"I have enough problems, Y/n. I don't want to be seen with you." he almost turns around to leave, but I hold him back on his shoulder. „Ced! Wait. I wanted to ask you if you could..."

„What do you want from me? First, you litreally beg me to fuck you, a day afterwards you have a boyfriend, and then you spread those rumors? I'm done with you, y/n!" he yells, and I've never seen him this angry. Never. Not even in a fight. And we had quite a few.

I feel bad. „Then...go." I say, looking on the ground. I expect him to leave, go back to Polly. He's right, he already has enough problems. He shouldn't be dealing with mine.

"Tell me what you want first." he comes back with a sigh, and I can see how hard it is for him to look me in the eyes.

„I...could you keep it, keep us...a secret?" I ask, almost beg, and Cedric raises an eyebrow. He starts laughing. „Us? What even are we?"

Ouch. That shouldn't hurt as much as it does. „So you...you aren't angry?" „I'm absolutely not. I'm done. It was a stupid mistake. You were a stupid mistake."

I never thought his words could hurt me like that.

My whole blood runs cold. He doesn't care about me. He calls me a stupid mistake.

„Okay." I whisper, trying to keeper voice stable, but without any success. My voice cracks, and I can feel a knot in my throat.

Cedric leaves, and I can see how he's on his way to the Hufflepuff rooms with Polly a few minutes later. I'm still standing were he left me, not able to move.

„Y/n." suddenly, Draco is standing in front of me. He taps my shoulder, he looks worried. „Are you Good?" „yeah. Yeah." I shake my head and smile at him.

„Wanna go for a walk?" he asks, and I nod. „Yeah." „That was a lot today, Right?" he asks, taking my hand.

I'm feeling so nervous, I don't even notice how this behavior is absolutely not typical for Draco.

„Did you talk to Diggory?" he asks, and I nod.
„Yes, it was just...I said sorry." he suddenly starts laughing. „It's true? Diggory is a Virgin?"

„Uhm...no. I don't think so..." I could drop the truth now. „But yk...not with Cho." that's not a lie, at least.

„Okay. None of my business, I guess."

Silence.

„Y/n, can I ask you something? It's related to Charms class. You're better than me." he takes out a book. Ah, that was the reason.

„Sure."

He opens the book and shows me a page, it's something about Reparo, an easy charm, nothing complicated.

„We had that in 2nd year." I say. „I want you to take..a closer look. See? I don't understand this instruction..." he almost presses the book on my face. Weird.

Suddenly, the smell hits me.
Clean laundry, brooms and...fire? A calm kind of fire. I turn around, shocked. „Cedric?" I could basically see him standing behind me.

This smell, it's just...no one else smells like that. He must be here.

„Oh." Draco takes the Book out of my hands.

„You should go to bed now, Y/n. There's school tomorrow." he squeezes my hand and smiles.
Turns around, leaves.

What was that? Cedric must be here. Was he watching us? No. He was done with me. He's probably with Polly. I don't even want to know what they're doing in his dorm.

Why am I even sad? The problem solved itself. The problem, in this case, is called Cedric Diggory. And it solved itself by calling me a stupid problem.

Everything is great, isn't it? It's just me and Draco now. The love triangle I never wanted to have destroyed itself before it even existed.

Am I missing Ced as a friend? That's it. I'm going to miss Amos. But who knows, perhaps the problem will be gone in a few weeks.
