———————————————————————————
It was the next day and I got a letter from Cedric. He wanted to go on another date, this time Draco had no idea.

I intended to keep it that way because that would mean we could have the house to ourselves.

Draco told me he wouldn't be home tonight because him and his guy friends are hanging out.

I saw that as an opportunity..

——————————

I went into the kitchen to get a snack when Draco was already there.

He started talking about how he's most likely gonna be home late.

"..don't miss me too much Y/n."

"Trust me, I'll be fine."

Later that day

I took a shower and put on comfy clothes so Draco would think I'm just staying in.

I went downstairs as he talked to me..

"..and remember to make sure the door is locked."

"Draco I've got it completely under control, alright."

"Fine, I'll be back later."

"Have fun" I said as followed behind him so I could lock the door as he left.

"I will." He said as he walked out.

As soon as he left I ran up the stairs to my room and got ready.

Cedric said to meet him at his house.

When I made it there I saw him waiting outside for me.

"Nice night, isn't it." He said as he looked up.

"Yeah, it's nice out here." I added.

"So, you want to go on a walk? I didn't have anything specific planned I just thought we could go wherever the night takes us." Cedric said.

"Sure."

A few minutes later I realized we were passing another house, it was the Weasley home.

I looked up at the top floor and saw Ron looking out his window as you could hear the twins downstairs talking.

I grabbed a small rock and threw it at Ron's window.

He jumped back slightly and looked down at Cedric and I. We waved to him as he waved back.

I saw Hermione behind him poking him on the shoulder. He turned and pointed out the window to us.

She saw us and waved as well.

I instinctively grabbed Cedric's hand and we continued walking.

"So, what other fun stuff you doing this summer?" he asked.

I thought for a second about becoming a death eater and slightly cringed. I pushed it out of my head, "Nothing much really."

"At least you get to stay in the manor, must be nice I bet."

"Yeah it is, if you wanted you could see it."

"Draco doesn't even like it when I make eye contact with him let alone going into his home-

"but he's not home, and neither are his parents.." I continued.

I watched as he started to blush.
