SURPRISES | Draco Malfoy

31

A few weeks later...
We were back at school for some time now. The second task was almost beginning. We were standing around the black lake. Draco had his arm around me as we watched the candidates make themselves ready for what was about to happen under the water.

The first one to come up was Fleur, she had no one with her which kind of scared me. Then Cedric, with Cho. I cheered for him. Then Viktor came up with Hermione.

A little time later Ron and a little girl came up, but Harry was nowhere to be seen. I stepped a little closer to Draco. He apparently noticed I was a little anxious, because he pulled me closer to his chest.

Eventually Harry did come up. I don't know. He was always the one with trouble. It wasn't that I was anxious because it was him. I was anxious because I'm afraid someone is going to die in this tournament.

I ran over to Cedric, pulling Draco with me.

"Hey! You did awesome." I said.

"Thank you." He said and smiled.

"So, tied in first place huh? How does it feel?" I asked.

"Feels pretty good." He laughed.

"He's awesome." Cho said.

"You're so lucky to have him." I said.

Cho laughed, but made a face like I just said I had a crush on Cedric.

"I have this one here." I said while I pulled Draco - who was awkwardly standing behind me - next to me.

"Yeah I heard! You guys are official now right?" Cho asked, she seemed a bit relieved.

"Yep, it's been a while now. I haven't been counting the days but I think it's a little over a month now." I said.

We continued the conversation for a while. I was just about to say something when I heard the voice I hated the most.

"Cedric Diggory, can I ask you some quick questions?" Rita asked, but before he could answer she pulled him away. Later she asked Cho to join them.

While Draco and I where waiting until most of the crowd was gone, they came back to us. But Rita followed them.

"Hello dear." She said and pulled me and Draco away.

"You guys are in a relationship, right?" She asked when we finally stopped somewhere.

"Yes, Y/n has been my girlfriend since a little over a month ago." Draco answered.

"Wonderful." She said while writing it down.

"Y/n, how do you feel now that Cedric is with Cho?" She asked.

"I'm happy for him. Cho is a very nice girl." I answer. "Are we done now?"

"Not so fast my dear. How do you handle Cedric now that he's your ex?" She asked.

"We were never in a relationship, we are just friends." I roll my eyes.

Then she turned to face Draco. "What do you think of Cedric. Are you jealous? Do you think she might cheat on you? Do you think there's still something going on between them?"

"I trust my girlfriend. If she says nothing is going on between them, nothing is going on. And no, I'm not jealous because they're just friends." Draco answered. He was really calm during this all, which surprised me.

"Thank you for answering these. Goodbye!" She said and she disappeared in the crowd.

"Oooh you're mad." Draco said teasingly.

"I'm not mad." I said, but my face expression telling otherwise.

He laughed.

"You were very calm. Didn't expect that from you." I said.

"Well y/n, I am full of surprises." He said.

[a/n] does anyone actually like rita? i think she's annoying.
