Pansy was pulling my arm towards the stadium, dread was filling me as we walked towards the third task. The final task of this tournament, many seemed excited as they dashed towards the stadium, but the sky was showing the same dread I was feeling. The sun was no where to be seen and rumbling of thunder could be heard in the distance though there was currently no rain. Entering the stadium we joined Draco, Blaise and Theodore near the front of the seats.
"You excited?" Blaise asks as we sit down. His leg is bouncing up and down in anticipation. Shrugging I look towards the wall of leaves in front of us. The band was playing loudly as Dumbledore and the minister walk out into the stadium. Fold by each Champion with there headmaster and Cedric with his dad. Cedric glanced around the stadium before his eyes landed on me. He turns back around giving his dad a hug before walk towards me. Putting his hands on the railing and hoisting himself up some.
"Ready to see me win, Evadanne?" Cedric says with a bright smile.
"I don't care to see you win. Just stay safe." I say quietly, giving him a small smile as I put my hand on his giving to a squeeze. He gave me a cheeky smile before turning towards Draco.
"Hey Malfoy, you keep her safe. No more being a bloody idiot. I graduate after this so I can't keep an eye on her for you anymore. And Evadanne I'll be safe, I always am." He gave me another cheeky smile before dropping down and joking the other Champions.
"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri-wizards cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now as Mr Diggory..." Dumbledore spoke but got cut off by the crowd cheering at Cedric's name. A smile came to my face I watched him wave to the people supporting him in crowd. "and Mr Potter tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr Krum. The first person to touch the cup will be the winner. I've instructed the staff to patrol the perimeter, if at any point should a contestant wish to withdraw from the task he or she need only send up red sparks with their wands. Contestants, gather round." Each contestant moved closer to Dumbledore and ready themselves on last time before the final task.
"In the maze you'll find not dragons or creatures of the deep. Instead you'll face something more challenging. You see, people change in the maze. Oh find the cup if you can, but be very weary you could just lose yourselves along the way." The crowd was silent as Dumbledore finished, before all attention turned to Moody.
"Champions! Prepare yourselves." Moody says, Cedric gave his dad another hug before turning to Cho and giving her a smile and then giving me a thumbs up.
"On the count of three... ONE..." Dumbledore was cut off by the canon going off early. Cedric and Potter ran in. Watching Cedric disappear I feel my stomach start to turn.
"I don't feel good about this." I whisper to no one in particular. Feeling a cold hand on mine I look down to see Draco's hand on mine. Flipping my hand over I intertwined my finger with his, giving it a squeeze.
Krum and Fleur were out of the maze as everyone as just sitting and waiting for Cedric or Potter to return. At this point it was getting dark. Leaning my head onto Draco's shoulder I close my eyes. Suddenly the band started to play music again, suddenly standing and forcing Draco to stand with me as out hands are still together I look to the the middle of the area to see Potter on the ground clinging on to Cedric body. Moving forward I try to get a good look at what was happening.
Cedric wasn't moving and Potter was crying. Draco squeezed my hand and tried to pull me back to him as the professors started yelling and the band abruptly stopped. "He's back! He's Back" i hear Potter yell as he clung to Cedric's body, when Dumbledore tried to grab him. My body went cold and stiff as I realized what was happening.
"Keep everybody in their seats. A boy has just been killed. The body must be moved Dumbledore, there are... too many people." THe minister says to Dumbledore and the other Professors, who move to get the students to sit back down. Everything drowned out as my ears started to ring, before a yell broke through.
"Voldemorts back!" My body went ridged with fear. Suddenly my face was in Draco's chest as he tried to shield my eyes. I could her Cedric's dad yelling as Draco moved us from the stands to the school. Everything blurred, I could hardly remember how we got to the top of the Astronomy tower, facing away from the quidditch pitch and towards the rest of the Hogwarts grounds. The tears had stopped running, I knew something terrible would come from this tournament. My head rested on Draco's shoulder as we sat in silence.
"Do you think he's really back?" I ask quietly. I felt Draco stiffen underneath my head, but he continued to fidget with the ring on my finger.
"Sadly, I do. Potter wouldn't lie about something like this." He answer just as quietly. Cedric's words suddenly rung in my head, life's to short to be doing what you two are doing.
"When we went to the Yule Ball was that a date or as friends?" I suddenly ask, is this in away a good time, probably not but Cedric was right life is too short for me to keep hiding my feelings.
"I would say a date, but in the end we are friends." He says giving my hand a squeeze, he probably meant it to be comforting but it felt like a stab in my chest.
Sitting up completely and moving my head from his shoulder, I turn to look at him. HE glanced at me before moving his body to face mine as well. "I don't want to be friends." I say my voice quiet but steady.
Draco has a confused and hurt look on his face as he stared into my eyes, the blue standing out against the steel. "I'm sorry? What exactly do you mean, don't want to be friends." He questions leaning forward.
"I mean I don't want to be your friend, Draco." I paused as I watched his face, a hurt look crossed his face as he stood up to storm off, when I continued. "I want to be your girlfriend." I say, standing up after him. He was already on the stairs when I had spoken, he spun around looking up at me.
"Say it again." I gave him a confused look, as he took a step back up and walking over to me, using his hand to lift my chin up to look him in the eyes. "Say it again, cause I'm not sure I heard you right." A smirk grew on his face, as my cheeks flushed.
"I-i want to be your girlfriend." I stutter out not as confident as I was before. He just watched me for a moment before suddenly moving his hand went from being carefully under my chin holding me up to the back of my neck pulling me forward. His lips landed on mine, the kiss wasn't harsh but sweet, showing everything he was wanting to say. Moving my hands up his chest, he pulls away resting his forehead on mine.
"Lily Evadanne, I would love to be your boyfriend." He says in a breathy voice. A smile spreads across my face. "Let's get back to the common room before we get caught." He says while pulling away and pulling me with him.
"Draco." I say quietly as we walk. He glancing back as if saying to continue, "If he is back, I just want you to know, whatever side you are on, I'm there with you. I'm always going to be on your side." I say giving his hand a squeeze. He gives me a sad smile before stopping in the hall way and turning around pulling me close and pulling me into a kiss.
