After that weird encounter with Draco and Cedric,I go back to the common room. Where all the squad is. "Ooo so how did your bathroom sexcapade with Diggory go?" Ron teases me. I roll my eyes "Ron we did not have sex but If we do you'll be the first to know" I wink. Everyone laughs.
I plop down in the chair and sigh. "Everything ok?" Ginny asks.
"Yeah I'm fine. It's just that some weird things are happening. Draco walked in on Cedric and I, when he saw us he looked weird. Like disappointed?" I say.
"Oh yeah he was staring at you hard core in Hagrids class yesterday" Hermione points out.
"It's probably nothing guys. Probably just the tension at the school about you know who and the mysterious death of that student. We are all on edge. Hopefully it goes back to normal before the Yule ball" I say looking out the window. Not quite believing in what I said.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••That night at the library I start studying. I don't want to fall behind just because our classes are canceled. At around 5:30 I hear Draco's proud voice
"You really studying at a time like this?"
I roll my eyes "yes, just because classes are canceled doesn't mean I should be falling behind. I don't get why you're taking your studies more seriously"
He freezes "I am taking it seriously. I'm here aren't I ?"
"Coming in late every night is not taking it seriously" I snap.
"Uptight aren't we?"
I give him a dirty look "you're an ass"
He laughs so smug "alright alright teachers pet I'm ready to study"
I get up. I'm about to walk out when he grabs my wrist he looks sorry. "I'm just joking around. I really need to pass or else my father will not be happy"
I give him another dirty look.
"I'm sorry ok.? Geez you really got me out here apologizing which I never do"
I sigh "ok. So open your book up to 500"
He opens it up.
As we are studying he stares at me so intensely. His blue eyes scanning every inch of my face. My cheeks turn bright red. I don't know why but I'm getting butterflies in my stomach. I keep having to remind myself, he's not a good guy. He's mean and rude.
After we are done he gets up. I keep on sitting
"Are you coming?" He asks.
"I think I'm going to keep hanging around here for a bit. I don't really feel like going back to the room yet"
"Why not" he asks
"It's a lot going on right now. I use books as an escape from reality."
He hesitates then sits back down
I give him a weird look
"What? I could use a little escape" he says.
"Are you mocking me?" I ask.
He gives me an offended look "no way. Believe or not but I love books but the fiction books non fiction tends to bore me"
"Are you kidding ?! Non-fiction are my favorite. Full of facts and accurate descriptions"
He grabs one of the books from my pile "care of mystical creatures, you really like mystical creatures?"
"I do. I love it. My dad, he studies them all over the country and I grew up traveling with him. Seeing all these beautiful creatures" I blush. "I'm sorry I'm rambling. If you got somewhere better to be then you should go"
He shakes his head "so out of all the mystical creatures whose your favorite?"
Surprised by his question I take a moment to think about it. "Im interested in merpeople or the Phoenix. I've always wanted a Phoenix. I heard professor Dumbledore has one."
He chuckles "maybe you can have your man Diggory steal it for you"
I sigh "no I guess I'll just have to search myself"
He gives me a smile.
Then we heard bloody curdling screaming coming from the hallway.
We get up and start running.
I gasp of what I saw, a girl, laying in the hallways. She's dead.I've never seen a dead body before. She was so still. Again with her eyes and mouth wide open. Like that boy the previous day. She was pale, sickly looking.
She's wearing Hufflepuff robes; I instantly recognize her. Her name is Rose and she's a 5th year. I'm so shocked I end up falling back into Draco. He catches me but I'm too shocked to even notice. The professors start to rush in. Dumbledore runs in and starts ordering us into a lockdown. No one in or out of the common rooms. And since I wasn't in the common rooms they order us back into the library until further notice.I start hyperventilating and freaking out. I start crying like everyone else. I go to the back of the library and sit so no one sees me, I feel a hand on my back. I'm surprised to see it's Draco. I'm not used to him being so nice
"Why is this happening?" I cry. He shrugs, he seems just as shaken as me, but is trying to hide it. "someone in the school who is working with Voldemort." he says.
"Don't say that name" I beg.
"I'm really scared" I put my head on his shoulder. At first I think he's going to shrug me off but he lets me stay on.
He looks at me and for a moment I think we are going to kiss. He looks away embarrassed.
We sit in silence for a while, the only thing I can hear are other people crying, Rose was a girl everyone liked, she was friends with everyone from every house. She had a bubbly personality and no one in this school had anything bad to say about her. Last year on my first day at Hogwarts, she helped me find my classes after she saw me get lost several times. After that, every time I passed by her she took time and said hi to me, even if she was surrounded by friends. My heart hurts for her and her family, I hope one day they find justice.
Eventually they send us back to the common rooms. "You will be there for the remainder of the week. All classes and tests will be pushed back" Dumbledore says.
When we walk out the body's gone, There are professors from each house that help guide the ways to our common rooms. I take one last look back at Draco who is watching to make sure I get back safely.
