Draco woke up the next morning feeling clean and fresh. He sighed remembering that he had class in a 2 hours or so. He got up, got dressed and did his hair to perfection. Just like every morning, he looked at himself in the mirror for a few minutes, putting on his smug faces.
After that time had passed he picked up his bookbag, shoved all his belongings into it, and exited the room into the slytherin common room.
"Draco! Where are you off to so early?"
Draco paused. Knowing that voice oh so well, it was Pansy Parkinson. His current girlfriend. Although the knew he was definitely not at all straight. He still needed to put some effort into keeping his heterosexual reputation known.
"I'm going to get breakfast. Where else would I be going?" Draco rolled his eyes at her. "You never go for breakfast?" Pansy pouted, she looked confused, worried even. "Is it so bad that maybe I want to do something out of my comfort zone for once?" Draco growled. Pansy was a good person. She was a good friend to him. But that's all he saw her as, a friend. "No of course not baby, can I join you?" She batted her eyelashes at him. Hoping for a promising answer. "Yeah.. if you want" He shrugged, he proceeded to turn back around and walking towards the exit. Pansy was obviously not just having that, she quickly scurried up next to him and clenched her hand in his, holding it awfully tight. He clenched his jaw trying to ignore it and then re-put his smug face back on.
Draco only really wanted to go to have breakfast because he wanted to see Harry of course. Why else would he want to go? to eat? oh no. definitely not. Draco didn't like eating much, whenever he ate he felt bloated and gross. He did infact eat tiny bits everyday. And just to make Pansy happy and not suspicious, he was going to eat a decent amount at breakfast. Although he despised it.
As they walked up to the doors of the great hall Draco smiled his smug smile, and held Pansys hand a little tighter. Just so she would smile a little more. They walked through the isles towards the end of the slytherin table that had the best view of Harry.
He grabbed a plate, putting some toast and eggs on it. He scrunched his nose at the sight and smell but he still picked up his fork and knife and ate. He glanced up every now and then to get a look at Harry's scruffy and dorky smile. It honestly got him through the day. But he couldn't show it.
When he had finished his eggs he felt Pansy grab the inner part of his thigh. He gasped a little at the touch which had given him a little bit of a fright aswell.
"How about we get out of here baby, we could go do something much for fun that this" She whispered in his ear seductively. Draco stuttered a little. The only thing they had done together was make out.. and honestly it was disgusting making out with Pansy.
"Hey Malfoy, could we talk for a bit?"
Draco turned around to see Cedric Diggory standing in front of him. He was relieved that someone had saved him from answering the embarrassing question that Pansy had just asked. "Yeah sure Diggory" He replied standing up and exiting the hall into the silent corridors
"How are you feeling? Did you go to the bathroom?" Cedric asked smirking a little. "Yes I did, i'm fine. But why was Potter there also? I wasn't expecting to have company, especially not from him" Draco folded his arms across his chest, and lifted up an eyebrow.
"Because he needed to figure out that clue? I didn't think you would end up there at the same time.." He chuckled to himself a bit at that last part. He knew something. Draco threw himself onto Cedric pushing him against a wall with his fist in the air. "What do you know" He growled in Cedric face. Diggory was just smiling, he knew exactly what Draco was talking about.
"Nothing." Was all Cedric replied. Earning a great almighty punch right in the jaw from Draco. "TELL ME !" He screamed, Throwing his fist up once more. Ready to attack if he needed.
"OKAY OKAY! I'll say! But let me go first" Cedric said, fear now lurking in his eyes. Draco shock his head. He wasn't letting him take a chance to get away. This was his life, everything that he built. If anyone ever found out about this, it wasn't going to go so well.
"Okay, that's fair enough. Look Draco, I know you have feelings for Harry Potter, and yes, I did set you both up to go to the bathroom alone. But all I want is the best for you both." Draco's nostrils flared. He didn't want any type of sympathy. "Oh don't give me that bullshit, just tell me how you know!" Draco yelled, clenching his fist tighter.
"If you let me go, and we have a chat somewhere private and not violent then I will tell you. You just have to trust me" Cedric calmly said, his warm eyes stared Draco in the eyes. He gave in and let cedric go. They walked in silence to a old closet.
"Now tell me everything. Please, this can't get out. If anyone knew,"
"I know Draco. I wont tell anyone." Cedric smiled. Draco rubbed his hand through his hair and waited for Cedric to proceed.
"That night at the yule ball, I watched you as much as I could. The tears that welled up in your eyes as you watched Harry dance with Parvati was heartbreaking. I watched you run off to the bathroom holding back your tears back. Look Draco, I know how you feel. I'm bisexual. Everyone knows that, it's obvious. But I wanted to help you try get the person you wanted." Cedric paused taking a breath.
"Believe it or not. I also watched Harry. He didn't seem interested in dancing with Parvati at all in my eyes. His eyes kept landing on you. So I knew there was a connection. I felt like I need to help so.."
"So you set us up to see eachother naked in the prefects bathroom?" Draco interrupted, scoffing a little.
Cedric giggled a bit. "Seems a bit silly now that I think about it." He smiled at Draco. Draco didn't smile back. He hardly knew Cedric, how could he trust him with his biggest secret. Maybe he had to obliviate him..
"Look you can trust me, i wouldn't tell anyone. You have to trust me with it. okay?" He assures Draco. He didn't know why he did but he nodded back to Cedric.
"But seriously Diggory. You're the only one that knows. it's a big deal for me. If my family finds out they'll literally disown me" Draco started tearing up. He was scared at what was yet to come.
