MY EVERYTHING ||| Draco Malfoy

Second task.

Draco's POV

"Where's Soph?" I grunt as we stand on the wooden platform, the water swishing underneath us. A scoff comes from V as she snuggles closer to Blaise to keep the cold in. "Yeah now you wanna talk to her" she looks away and my eyes burn holes in her head as Ed pats my shoulder. "Probably with some other mates. Weasley twins if i had to bet." He wiggles his eyebrows making my jaw clench unintentionally. I whip my head around out platform, but her shortness once again comes at a disadvantage.

Maybe she regrets what she said last night...maybe she's avoiding me because she knows she got my hopes up...i let out a long sigh as i look to Harry Potter, stumbling into the water after a shove. not even realising the start began, the loud cannon seeming so distant as i look over the loud crowd. My shoulders drop lightly as i lean on the railing looking into the water with a tense expression, the others guessing im i a bad mood.

After some time goes by it starts to get boring. An hour? How long does potter need to show victory once again? I snap my head to the others, in a conversation that i intend to interrupt.

"How long doesn't this thing last? Honestly I'd rather be doing anything else" a scoff escapes my lips as i look back at the water. "Not too hard. You know they only have to retrieve a whole person at the bottom of the lake" Blaise rolls his eyes, my neck practically breaking as i look back to him. "What?" I snap, my eye darting as he looks at me confused. "Didn't you hear? The person they care most about at Hogwarts is at the bottom...the contestants are their only way out" he raises his eyebrows lightly, kissing the top of Vs head as she looks to the floor with a shiver.

Panic rushes down my body as hufflepuff comes into my mind. Soph missing? Snape last night? I waited until 1am for Soph to come back before giving up...and she never came. Because of him. My nostrils start to flare and i barge through the crowds, heading to the first platform as my eyes glue to the water. My body trained on any movement on the waters surface.

Sophia's POV

I gasp, cold and soaked to the bone as someone's hands cling to my body. I try to catch my breath as i look around, the stadiums of people cheering at me as i shiver into a body. Looking tot he body to see Cedric, a light smile on his face as he looks at me. The second task? Damn Snape seriously took me out. I let out a half smile half sigh as i look at him, relief of knowing what is happening. "You saved me?" I let out, weirdly out of breath as i tread water. He laughs lightly as he raised his eyebrows.

"You expect me to leave you down there with the merpeople?" He replies as he starts to swim us back to the platforms. The cold rushes through my body and i cant think of a time over ever being so cold. The thought of a hot shower sounding like heaven.

As we get up to the platform, people are waiting with towels and coats but the one that stands out is Draco. The look of concern as he waits by the ladder, his coat in hand. Cedric leads me to the ladder first, and Draco shoots him a look as he literally pulls me up to the platform himself. In an instant im wrapped in his coat and his hands are running up and down my arms to warm me up. I shiver into his chest and his arms go around me, seeming to forget that im sopping wet. My teeth shatter lightly and no words are said as he keeps me in his embrace. I catch Cedric's eye as he watches, people handing him towels and what not. Cedric's face doesn't look the best for just winning. More disappointed as he looks at me. A light nod as his lips go into a line before urning away to talk to an interviewer.

"Let's go back. You need to warm up your colder than ice" Draco demands in a harsh tone but it only shows he cares. I look up to him but before i could speak the other guys finally get through the crowds to us and start to pile their jackets on me in worry. I let out a light chuckle as i feel the weight pile on me. "Thanks guys, really. Keep watching imma get a boat back." I let out a small smile, my eyes turning to the side quickly as i see Draco's eyes burn into my head.

"Ok ok. Please warm up before we get back. I've already heard Hufflepuff are having a celebration party for their winner. You're first on the list considering." V shrugs as she goes on. Blaise stops her rambling by wrapping his arm around her with a little smile. I smile back before looking between them all. "I'll try my best...see you guys later" i start to head to the boats when i feel a warm arm go around me and look up.

"Im coming" Draco doesn't even look at me as he speaks, shoving through the people with his grip tight on me. Great...

The silence is uncomfortable as the magic boat takes us to land, the wind the only sound as it howls. My teeth lightly shatter as i look at the water, technically turning to ice in front of my eyes. Draco's arm squeezes my shoulder as an attempt to warm me and as i look up at him he just looks down at the boat, in thought. As he looks back towards me i give him a light smile.

"You didn't have to come back...I'm sure you'd love to see Harry Potter lose" i let out a light chuckle as a grin breaks onto his face. "Knowing you're ok is more important." Is all he says before just smiling at me. I nod lightly, the silence filling as i try think of anything to fill it. "So you think Snape will let me off for my essay? Considering he attacked me at put me at the bottom of the lake" i shrug as i see his grin grow, looking away so i cant see his reaction. "I'll do it for you. It's my fault you're doing a hard potion." He replies as he looks back and i roll my eyes playfully. "You're just too smart. You'd suit Ravenclaw." My statement makes his face drop into a glare and i laugh, knowing the consequences as he steps off onto the dock with a shake of his head.

My tongue rolls along my top teeth before stepping out, warmth coming back to me just by a short conversation. Draco starts to walk slowly but i catch up with a giggle, bumping into his shoulder to make him look at me. "You cant leave an ice sculpture on her own!" I walk along side him and his eyes roll with a smile as his arm wraps around me again. "I'll let you off" he chuckles as i tremble under his arm.

...

I walk it the bathroom, warmth covering my skin as i run the towel down my damp hair. Draco smiles at me from my bed as i stand facing him from the bathroom door. "I've never appreciated warmth so much in my life" i jump in next to him but go under the covers and pile blankets over me, only my nose up peeking out as Draco laughs at me. I poke my head out with a content smile. "I don't care if you laugh. You weren't the one unable to breathe while merpeople kidnapped you. All night." I add for a dramatic effect and he shuffles down to face me side ways, earning on his elbow. "My apologies Miss Diamond." He says in a butler tone and i roll my eyes. "Don't bring back childhood memories" i sigh as he smirks at me. It's silent as he looks at me. Like im frozen again. And he is just looking. But he looks down after a while and clears his throat.

"I hope you enjoy leaving your warm bed soon. Hufflepuff party is in half an hour" he looks back up and i crumble before putting the covers over my head. "Im not going" my voice muffles over the blankets and Draco gasps lightly. Lifting the covers as he comes under facing me in the trapped space. "you? Miss a party? What did those merpeople do to you" he narrowed his eyes as he inspects me and i hit his arm lightly, the humid air brining heat to my face. "You'd be surprised how tiring today has been. Plus it's a day party. No fun" i shrug as i look to Draco who just smiles at me. Thoughts running behind his sparkly grey eyes.

"What?" I sigh

It's a minute before he opens his mouth, hesitantly breathing before he replies. "Last night. You uhm-

"Woah! You two made up quickly" V bursts through the door. Saving us both from a very awkward conversation.
