"Ron, are you out of your mind?!" Y/N yelled as she walked beside the ginger. "You cant possibly be thinking Harry put his name in there, is this a joke?"

"Go back and stick with your dear friend Potter, Lupin." Ron said, walking faster to get away from the girl.

Y/N forced a laugh before she speed up and got in front of the gingerhead. "Harry isnt someone who would join a tournament like this without thinking. And I know for a fact that Harry would have came to us for advice."

"Leave me alone Y/N!" Ron yelled, making many heads turn. He walked past her from the side, bumping his shoulder while doing so. 

Y/N had her mouth agape, she blinked, she looked around herself noticing people looking, some out of pity, some just for the gossip. "What are you all looking at? Mind your own business!" She said before storming out of the countyard, her fists clenched.

"That was quite a scene."

Y/N stoped her tracks and turned to the voice. "Nakamura." 

Henry was leaning against the wall and had a slight smile on his face. "Are you alright?" 

Y/N let the tension leave her body and sighed. "Yes."

"C'mon, let's play Widzards Chess." Henry said with a smile. 

Y/N' eyes met his, they were squinted due to the smile on his face. A small blush appeared on Y/N's face.

He was adorable.

Henry, seeing the stunned expression on her face, let out a small laugh. He grabbed her arm and leaded her, which made Y/N even more nervous.

Her nervous state disapeared as she became distracted with the Widzards Chess. She was a competitive person, she did everything to win, however she was devestated with the amount of losses she had experienced.

Her head met the table in front of her with a thud as she groaned in frustration. Henry leaned back with his arms crossed. He had a grin on his face. He was amused to see the girls reaction to her losses.

"You didnt think I would go easy on you because you are pretty, did you?"

Y/N lifted her head. She felt her face heating up as she blankly looked at the boy in front of her. After a few seconds, she pulled herself back together and answered, "I just didnt expect you to be this good, Nakamura."

Henry shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not that good, it's just that you suck in this game."

Y/N let out an offended gasp with her hand on her heart. Henry laughed at her dramatic state. "I'll see you around Lupin." He said while getting up. "Sure." He gave the girl another smile before leaving.

"You didnt dice them right, they should be thinner" 

"I diced them as thin as I can Malfoy." Draco rolled his eyes at the pathetic answer. He lightly pushed the girl aside and started dicing the Asphodel roots much more smaller.

They were currently inside the Room of Requirment, working on the potion.

Y/N watched him work in defeat. Draco slipped them into the blue coloured potion, making the colour turn darker.

"How long do you think it's going to take us to brew this potion?"

"At least 5 months." 

Y/N stirred the potion, she examined the consistency by lifting up the spoon. "It's too thick, more water."

Draco added more water, and a little bit of alcohol in order to keep the balance of the two ingredients. Y/N kept on stirring the potion, she checked the consistency again, much more satisfied this time.

"What would happen if I sneezed into it?"

"Dont even think of anything like that Lupin." Draco hissed. His eyes gazed upon the pages of the textbook as he ruffled his own hair in frustraion.

Y/N smiled at the blonds words, they both hated to admit but they were actually good, they both worked efficently and as quick as possible while brewing the potion. It was an advanced potion for sure, but they were doing good so far. Still, they both were doubtfull if they would  successfully manage to actually brew a potion like that. 

"Thank you."

Draco lifted his head from the book, surprised by the sudden words. "What? Why?" He asked, his eyes searching hers to find any sarcasm he had missed.

Y/N didnt bother to lift her head up from the potion as she answered, "For this... " 

Draco didnt reply. His brain was still proccessing the words that came out of the Gryffindor's mouth. He stared at her with a blank expression on his face.

Y/N lifted her head to meet the blonds eyes. "And the World Cup."

Draco felt her breath on his face, their faces stood few inches away from eachothers.

"Dont think highly of yourself Lupin. It was pathetic enough for you to actually need my saving." Draco replied with a lower voice than usual. He didnt dare to move his head away from hers.

Y/N gulped nervously and blinked. She turned away uncomfortably, facing the potion again. 

Her heart felt like it was about to explode.  Reason: Unknown.

What the fuck was that?

Y/N entered the common room. Her legs felt weak due to the tingling she was feeling. Her racing thoughts were stopped with a question.

"Y/N? What are you doing here?" Harry asked with a confused look.

"Nothing!" Y/N answered almost immediately. Harry furrwed his brows, a look of suspicion placed on his face.

Y/N took a second to compose herself. "Promise not to tell anyone." After Harry reasured her that it would stay between them the girl continued, "I tried stealing some Aconite from Snape's office." The girl said with a whisper.

"What! Did you get caught?"

"No, it was close though, I got away the last second."

Harry let out a sigh. "You know you can ask for help in need." Y/N raised her eyebrows. She hadnt expected him to be smart enough to figure out why she attempted to steal it.

Y/N waved her hands in a defensive manner. "No, no. I was being stupid, my dad didnt even tell me he needed Aconite."

Harry smiled sadly as he placed his hand on the girls shoulder. "You can always ask me for help, you know that."

Sweats were starting to form on Y/N's forehead. The lie she came up with felt embarrasing. "Thank you Harry." She managed to say without stuttering, which she was very thankful for.
