Months later:

Winter break begins tomorrow. Cedric had asked me to be his girlfriend. Of course, I said yes, but I feel like he's too good for me.

Being Cedric's girlfriend only meant I had to meet his dad, which I was really nervous about.

I made sure to keep my distance from Draco due to my past feelings for him. I kept him as a friend I speak to sometimes, and a tutor, but I can't be around him all the time like I am with Mattheo. It's all out of respect for my relationship with Cedric.

I sat in bed reading a book on potions; I was trying to study for the test that would take place when we come back from break, which I was so mad at Professor Snape for. Like does he really expect us to study over break?

"Hey." I heard a soft voice say from above my bed. I looked up to see Anala. "It's been a while." She smiled.

I closed my book and smiled back at her, "It has."

Her & I hung out for the rest of the day, talking about how our year has been going. It was actually really nice to have a girl-friend. I needed to make sure her & I talked more.

I was sitting on the train with Cedric. We were going to go to his place. I was so nervous to meet his dad.

I stood up from the seat in the train compartment, "I'm going to the toilet."

On my way there, I ran into Draco. "Hey." I smiled.

"Hey. You going to the Yule Ball?"

"I plan on it." I nodded, "I'm just waiting for my boyfriend to ask me."

"Boyfriend? Cedric and you are actually...?"

"Yeah. He asked me not too long ago." I awkwardly smiled and folded my arms. "Are you planning on going?"

"Yeah. I was gonna ask this one girl, but I think she's going with someone else."

My smile slowly dropped, "I'm sorry." I would tell him that it's her loss, but Draco is a douchebag. "What about Pansy? I thought you and her were together."

"What?! No!"

A look of shock came onto my face, "Am I imagining all the holding hands and stuff?"

He gulped, "No. Her and I...aren't anything. I don't like her."

"Are you leading her on then?"

"I wouldn't say that."

I scoffed, "Okay, Draco. Have a nice break." I walked away and continued going to the toilet like I originally meant to do.
