"hey y/n? can i talk to you about something?" cedric asks, sitting up from the spot he was laying. you sit up too and nod, "sure, what is it?" "well... we have been dating for a bit..." "yeah, thanks for noticing" you joke, but he stays serious. "Cedric what is it?" "i was thinking... if you were like ready-"

you have a feeling you know exactly what he's about to ask, and it makes you extremely nervous.

"- uh... would you hate if we tried taking a step forward... if you know what i mean" you swallow a lump in your throat, looking down at your hands. "um... are you like experienced?" "payouts ask softly. "uh, yeah... you?" "no... never" "oh, well it's okay. if you're not ready just say the word".

you sit there thinking, it scares you to think about but you kind of expected it to happen sooner or later.

"um, can i sleep on it?" "sure... come tell me tomorrow morning?" "yeah, i should get going, i told Luna i would study with her" "oh okay, well i'll see you tomorrow" "okay, see you tomorrow" you give him a quick kiss and grab your things, leaving the room and sighing deeply after closing the door.

you start smiling to yourself but shake it off, walking back to your room.

after studying with Luna, you had plans to hang out with Draco. you were tempted to tell Luna about what happened with Cedric but didn't want to make her uncomfortable.

you get changed into something comfortable for this time of night.

you leave the room and head to the area he asked you to meet him, seeing him sitting on the ground looking down at himself. you sit beside him without warning, and he looks at you. "hi" "hey, you okay?" "yeah, just been waiting" "sorry, i was studying with Luna and ran a little over time" "it's okay" "what are our plans?"

"whatever you'd like, what's going on with you and Granger by the way?" "oh um, not much. she kind of got upset with me for being friends with you" "really?" "yeah, i've been meaning to talk to her" "sorry for causing that" "it's not your fault, let's go take a walk"

you stand up and extend your hand, he looks up at you without moving. "take my hand" you whisper. "no i like embarrassing you" you roll your eyes and go to walk away, but he grabs your hand quickly. you look at him and smile "i knew you wouldn't last" you tease as he pulls himself up, still holding your hand.

"whatever" he laughs, letting go of you. "come on, let's go wander and talk" "sounds great" he says sarcastically. "it will be, we can talk about feelings and emotions" you tease as he groans. "no but for real, are you okay Draco?" "what do you mean? of course i am" "well i mean like naturally, always" "yes y/n, are you?"

"yeah... well i do have something on my mind right now" "wanna talk about it?"

"um...well, cedric asked me something. he wants us to get... intimate"

"intimate? aren't you intimate enough?" "no draco like... intimate..." he just stands there looking confused, you sigh loudly. "intimate draco, body to body kind of intimate" you shout then quickly quiet down. "oh... oh ew" "yeah, i mean not really ew... but..." he just nods and goes quiet.

"how did you not understand that haven't you and pansy..." "no... what makes you think that?" he asks extremely confused.

"her, she's always all over you. she has that glow" "glow? with me? yeah, no. she definitely wishes. her and blaise are like a thing sometimes but not me" "oh, why not? she's pretty" "she's not my type for one, and for two i like someone else remember?"

"oh... so you're loyal? even when you're not with them?" "yeah" "that's cool" "not really, it's like... bare necessities" "don't get all smart on me" you laugh, he laughs too. there's a moment of silence before he sighs, the sigh sounding sad somehow. "look i've been thinking... i don't think we should be friends anymore" he says as he stops walking.

you immediately drop your expression, hoping he's joking.

"what?" "yeah, it isn't good for me. i can't hear you say things like that about Diggory-" "i wont then" you interrupt sternly. he shakes his head, "i just can't... it's not good for me" "well it's not really fair on me to just... have you leave, don't leave" "i'm not leaving, i'll be around school. i just can't be friends with you at the moment"

"and when can you?" you ask, your voice breaking a little. "when i'm over you" he whispers. you sniffle and hold back tears, you can't be seen crying over draco malfoy. "so we just don't talk at all then?" "i guess not... i'm sorry y/n i really didn't think you'd care" "you clearly don't know me then" you respond sort of rudely.

he understands that you're just upset, he gets up to leave but comes over and stands in front of you, leaning into kiss your cheek. "goodbye" he whispers, leaving fast. as soon as he's out of sight, the tears you held in fall out. you let out a breath and put your hand on the cheek he kissed, keeping it there.

somehow a good night you started to enjoy turned into one of the worst nights, both because of draco freaking malfoy.
