I wake up at home to Cedric, Mom and Dad talking in the room in hushed voices.

".....Lucius seemed too suspicious. His ties to it all..." Dad says

"You mean to say it is true then?" Cedric ask.

"Yes dear. She is. But we need to wait to tell her... We have to." Mom responds.

"Is she really...?" Cedric starts.

Mom interrupts him when I start to stir a little,  "Hush, she's waking up..."

"Thank goodness your awake. Are you feeling ok?" Mom asks.

I nod softly as I sit up.

"Thank Merlin you are ok. When Lucius Malfoy showed up with you unconscious we feared the worst. He said you were hysterical, they had to sedate you. Are you sure your ok?" Dad responds obviously worked up.

"I... yea... I'm ok... Draco Malfoy... he saved me..." I mumble.

"Suppose there is some good in the arrogant git after all." Cedric comments quietly.

I just ignore him.

"Well get some rest dear, tomorrow we will shop for your supplies. School still starts in a few days." Mom says.

"Ok, but what were you talking about...?" I ask.

"We will explain that to you later. Get rest and focus on school for now." Dad says.

I nod confused but accept it. Maybe they are figuring out about my crush? I really do not want that conversation any time soon.

If it is important then I'm sure they will mention it.

Cedric and I board Hogwarts Express to a bustling chater about the Tri Wizard Tournament.

"Are you entering?" I ask looking up at him.

"Of course. I've been talking about it long enough." Cedric teases.

"True. Well I better go find my friends. See you later." I say and wave, heading off.

As I make my way through the train to find Lilli and Jude, Draco pops up from his seat in front of me.

"Y/n. How are you?" He questions.

"Uh.. I'm ok. Still a bit jumpy..." I admit and shrug.

"Oh yes, did you leave your family to find Draco on purpose? You always seemed a bit of the thirsty type." Pansy snaps.

"I... I tripped and lost them... got confused and ended up running for the stadium..." I respond meekly.

"Leave her be Pansy. I'm the one who raced back into the thick of it when I saw her in the distance. If anyone was looking for trouble it was me." Draco retorts and subtly touches my hand.

Something about the touch seems so sweet. I can't help but to feel a bit safer from it.

"I'm just going to go find my friends..." I say and quickly walk away to the back of the cart.

To my surprise they sat in this cart. "What are we doing here? I thought we'd be in the next one over."

"Oh, D..." Lilly starts the changes over, "it was full."

"Right. Well then. I'm going to try reading some... hopefully the ride goes by fast." I say and sit at the door seat.

Before long I fall asleep against the wall.

People all around me, begging for help.

I try to help, to cast a spell, but my wand does nothing.

Then everyone turns on me.

Shouting how I should save them.

How I should have gotten up and saved them. How I was a coward.

I try to run, but I'm knocked down.

Wands pointed at me.

"Y/n...!" I am shook awake, quite literally. Draco has said my name and is shaking my arms gently.

I grab hold of his arms with a gasp.

"Y/n... it was a dream... calm down..." he says softly.

"I.. yea... what brought you..? I wasn't screaming was I?" I look confused.

"Jude... they couldn't get you to wake up so she came and got me. Are you sure you're ok? Your hair is white again..." he says concerned and plays with my hair in one hand.

"It's just a nightmare... I'll be fine... I get them sometimes now is all." I re-asure him.

"Ok... if you insist. You should talk to a professor though... Snape perhaps.. He knows a lot about this stuff..." Draco starts to ramble.

I take both his hands in mine and look at him, "I'm ok... It's just shock from what happened..."

He stands and nods, "right. Well I'll be heading back to my seat then... come if you need me. Ok?"
