"Hey, Y/N?" Pansy asked while we were getting ready for class.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Where were you last night? Mattheo wanted to talk to you, he was waiting pretty much all night for you to come back." My best friend explained to me. I didn't know how to answer her, I was too busy thinking about why Theo would want to talk to me.

"WELL!?" she screeched.

"W-with Legolas... he said h-he didn't like the dark so I stayed w-with him..." I explained, terrified of the look Pansy had in her eye. She looked like she was going to kill me and I flinched as she reached for her wand.

I quickly excused myself from the room and went to get ready for class, I saw Mattheo looking at me with a sad look on his face. I felt bad for making him stay the night for no reason. I couldn't seem to get his sad face out of my head.

During Transfiguration I went up to Mattheo when McGonagall said we needed partners for the assignment.

"Hey, Draco? You want to be partners for the assignment?" He asked. Draco hesitantly agreed to his offer.

I needed to explain to him what had happened but I was going to talk to him while doing the project. I knew that Pansy wouldn't want to be my partner so I tried to ask Legolas.

"No, i'm sorry Y/N but i'm doing the project with Aragorn otherwise i'd love to be your partner!" he replied to my request.

I hesitantly went to Hermione and asked, she agreed although I didn't want to work with a Mudblood, she was the only option I had.

We worked on the project until curfew where we parted to go to our own dorm rooms. She was actually really nice and I got to know her very well. I got changed into my pajama's and got into bed, avoiding accidentally making eye contact with Pansy.

I fell into an uneasy sleep until- it must have been at least 3am- when i felt the weight of someone crawling onto my bed. I tried to roll over but that person stopped me, they sat on top.

My eyes were finally adjusting to the dark and I saw a skinny outline though it looked familiar... it then struck me who it must be.

"C-Cedric?" I asked in a hushed whisper, "How did you get in here?"

He chuckled, "My dear, i'm not Cedric. I don't even know a Cedric!"

"W-what are you going to do to m-me?"

He was staring at  my neck with a hungry look on his face. I was frightened and then I realized that Cedric had grey eyes, not yellow eyes. Who was this guy!?

He was silent as if he were having a moral dilemma within himself.


**Edwards POV**

I was starving, I hadn't feasted for weeks and I could easily sense her blood, i've never had AB negative, her blood was rare which would probably mean it tasted better.

She was so pretty though, I don't know if I could.

But her pretty white neck was exposed to flesh and I needed to feed.

I can't though!

I needed to otherwise i'd die!

The sun was rising on the horizon so I had to make my choice and fast otherwise i'd be caught in the waves of the sun.

I only drink animal blood and she does have a cat.

But it might be her friends cat~

I could surely make an acceptation for AB negative though.

Yes. That's what i'll do, only a little bit though, otherwise she'll die of blood loss.

I opened my mouth, my fangs ready. She looks so scared. Don't look at her, you're only surviving!

I sank my teeth into her exposed flesh and began feasting. 

There was a scream of agony but I blocked it out and continued drinking. Her blood filled me up so much!

Just a little more!

There was then a loud banging noise coming from outside the door, it suddenly flew open and a man came running in.

I didn't even think about if she had a boyfriend!

He began kicking at me and swearing. I retracted my fangs and fled from the scene.


**Y/N's POV**

I didn't know what had happened but I suddenly had Mattheo by my side freaking out.

I turned to him and gave him a warm smile, he returned it. I put my hand to my neck and felt two small holes in the side.

I felt dizzy and sick and held onto Mattheo's hand tightly to comfort myself. I felt him pick me up gently and slip in under me, putting me on top of him, my back facing him. I didn't know if it was only me or if our heartbeats synchronized as he lifted my chin up to face him. I had no clue what had happened, it was just a blur but I do remember him caressing my cheek gently and looked like he was about to cry.

"Y-you're turning g-grey" he whimpered quietly and I looked at my arm and saw it was slightly grey. I gave him a slight smile.

"I guess i'm losing too much blood, to be honest I don't know if i'll survive from this..." I said somberly and looked down.

"I sent Pansy to get Madam Pomfrey, just- hold on a little bit longer please? I can't live without you." he whispered to me and lifted my chin back up.

"Mattheo-" I tried to start but he silenced me.

"Save your energy Y/N/N," he blushed and looked around embarrassed before cupping my face in his hands, "I-I... You need to know this. I-erm... I-I love you."

I instantly felt myself go bright red and my cheeks felt hot. He bit his lip, took a deep breath and kissed me. I didn't know how to react to it so I just followed what my heart said to do.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, rolling over onto my front and kissed back gently. I heard the sharp intake of breath coming from his end and I couldn't help but giggle, it was too cute.

The kisses started of gentle but grew more urgent as time passed. Pansy then walked in with Madam Pomfrey and gasped, seeing Mattheo and I French Kissing.

I turned bright red and hid my face. Mattheo was also red.

Madam Pomfrey laughed gently and took me to the hospital wing, I passed out as soon as I saw the needle she picked up.
