HAILEY'S POV
"Ugh- Hailey!" Draco huffed and I slowly opened my eyes. I was on his bare chest once again, his arms around me.
"Yeah?" I answered, wishing to go back to sleep.
"I thought I heard-" He began to say as he rubbed his eyes, but the loud knocking on the door interrupted him. "Someone's at the door!" Draco whisper-yelled as he released me from his grip, flung the covers off, and almost tripped attempting to put his pants on. He grabbed his shirt off his dresser as I scrambled to get out of his bed and into the bathroom. I locked myself in and pressed my ear to the door to hear what was happening.
"Where is she?" the voice said.
"I have no idea what you're talking about?" Draco said, cluelessly.
"I'm not stupid, Draco! If she's not with Cedric, she's with you."
"Cedric?" I heard Draco ask. I'm pretty sure whoever it was pushed past Draco at this point because there was knocking on the bathroom door.
"Hailey? Come out! I need to talk to you!" I could identify the voice now. Celeste. I froze. The last thing I wanted to do was talk about what I saw, but she is my best friend.
I slowly unlocked the door. The second the door was open, Celeste's arms were around my neck.
"Can we talk please?" She asked as she pulled back. I looked at Draco who looked a little confused.
"Okay, one sec." I stuck a finger up in the air in front of her face to motion to wait and walked over to Draco.
"Would you mind if we talked in your room? Only for a bit, then it'll be just you and me again. I just don't really wanna go out in your clothes and-" I was worried he was going to take that the wrong way until Draco stopped me by giving me a look with a smile on his face.
"Of course. I'll give you guys an hour. I'm gonna go get food, if you need me I'll be in Pansy's room." He pulled me in for a quick hug, kissed my cheek swiftly and left, closing the door behind him. I locked it, then moved back over to Celeste and sat on Draco's bed.
"So..." Celeste said, her cheeks going red. The images flashed in my head again, and I tried hard to ignore them.
"Are you okay, Cel?" I blurted out. That was all I really wanted to know.
"Me? Yea, I guess. Dean was really nice about it, but I've kinda been avoiding him since." Celeste said, and joined me on Draco's bed. "But hey, it's you I came to talk about. Why are you here? With Draco? In his clothes? And don't even try to lie and say you guys weren't totally physically sleeping together before I knocked on the door." I blushed, smiling a little.
"I've been here all week, since the Yule Ball. Harry and I, we got into a fight and Draco was here." I smiled wider.
"That's really cute and all, but what about Cedric? What are you going to tell him?" Something went off in my mind. It was like the glass blocking my vision of Cedric and the relationship I was committed to had shattered.
"Oh my god..." Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized what I had done, not once, but multiple times. "Celeste! I-I!" I couldn't even get out the words before I fell apart.
"Hailey? What'd you do? What happened with Draco?" Celeste asked gently and pulled me into a hug.
"I kissed him a few times, even though I originally told him I couldn't, not to mention that I've been living in his room all week when I should have been living in Cedric's!" I said frantically.
"It's okay! We'll fix this!" Celeste said, stroking my messy hair.
"How?" I asked, wiping my eyes.
