I couldn't believe I had forgotten about it, but I was reminded when Crabbe and Goyle, Draco's buddies, came to me telling me that I had a date with Draco that night.

"Excuse me?" I said, on the brig of punching both of them.

"Your... um... deal with Draco." Crabbe said when he noticed Goyle wasn't going to speak up.

"Oh God. Where is he? I need to speak with him."

Goyle went to open the door and when he did, Draco fell into my room. He quickly got back up, utterly failing at trying to play it cool.

"Uh. Hi, Lizzy."

"Hi Draco," I said bitterly.

"Goyle, Crabbe.. Leave... NOW." Draco said.

They did as told and I was left with Draco. I sat down on my bed and Floyd got out of his bed to get on mine.

"I want to take back our deal."

"No... No you cant do that."

"If you want to threaten me fine. Go ahead."

"But.."

"Go ahead."

Draco paused for a while and let out a sigh. "You know don't you?"

"Know what?"

"You know I wont do it."

"Why not?" I asked suspiciously.

"You really don't know?"

"Know what?!"

He let out one last sigh before leaving the room. I wanted to go after him, but it was no use. Draco was going to be stubborn. If I wanted to know I would have to find out myself. It's a good thing I didn't want to know.

The next day I spent most of my time in my room. I didn't have anything to do but lay down and snuggle with Floyd. I couldn't stay there forever and I knew that, but I could damn well try.

I decided about 5 minutes later to go find Cedric. I needed to tell him about the next task.

I walked right into Harry causing me to drop my book. I sighed when I saw that my bookmark had fell out and picked it up.

"Sorry, Liz." Harry said.

"No it's okay. Have you seen Cedric? I need to tell him about the task."

"I just told him."

"Oh..."

I saw three first years come towards us with buttons that says "Potter Stinks". They laughed at him while they passed by.

"What are those?" I asked.

"Oh, don't worry about them."

I wanted to make him tell me and I was about to, but then I saw his face. He looked a sad, but he was trying his hardest to cover it up.

Ron and Seamus walked past us, completely ignoring us. Harry excused himself and went to talk to Ron. I couldn't hear what they were saying.

Harry came back and sighed. "Are you okay?"

Harry doesn't answer and just tries to avoid eye contact. "Why so tense Potter?"

I turned and saw Draco sitting in a tree with his stupid followers around him. "My father and I have a bet you see. I don't think you're gonna last ten minutes in this tournament."
