Cold Hands

Chapter 10: Ferret Boy.

"Bloody hell.." You whispered, leaning your head against the wall.

Cedric :)

Hello?

I'm sorry for bothering you but it's important.

"Who is it? Cedric?" Draco's voice sounded disapproving.

"Draco.. I have to go." You finally opened the door, waves of cool air pushing past you.

"Wait-" Draco grabbed your wrist. He stared at you for a moment, before letting go.

Your wrist fell back down to your side.

You looked at him, waiting desperately for him to finish his sentence.

If he wanted you to, if he asked, you'd have stayed with him in a heart beat.

Draco instead shook his head, hurrying past you.

The Library.

You stepped into the large, open room. You inhaled the sent of old books, making you quietly sigh.

"Hey." Cedric snuck up behind you, placing a hand on your shoulder.

You jumped slightly, letting out a gasp.

"Sorry.. I didn't mean to startle you." He whispered, sliding his hand down to your arm and leading you down to the far end of the library.

"Cedric, what are we doing here?" You tried to hide your annoyance, but a hint of it had slipped out. 

"I just.. wanted to hang out with you. I guess now as i'm saying that, it sounds much less important then i had made it out to be." He bit his bottom lip slightly, still holding your arm.

You stopped walking and faced him, giving him a light smile.

"Hey, don't worry about it. It's our off day so.. Let's hang out!" Your annoyance faded away as you saw a smile spread across his lips.

Oh merlin, it's that smile again.

You two spent the rest of the day exploring the hidden rooms of Hogwarts. You hated to admit it but every time Cedric would touch you, accidentally brushing his fingers against yours, playfully bumping his shoulder onto yours, your smile would only grow wider.

"Ya'know, you're great company, for a slytherin." Cedric teased you, wrapping his arm around your shoulders.

"Yeah yeah, joke all you want, I'm surprised i could even put up with a Hufflepuff this long." You joked.

He laughed, which of course, made the butterflies in your stomach start up again.

You two sat at the same bench that he had given you the flower crown on, watching as students chatted with their friends.

You realized that it had started to become dark. 

You two had talked for most of the day, and you hadn't even thought about it, not even once.

"This was fun, snakey. I'm glad you met me earlier, really." Cedric gently played with a strand of your hair.

"Snakey? That's a clever nickname." You chuckled, trying to ignore the butterflies.

A loud chime played through speakers, making you jump.

"Curfew.." You mumbled.

You both stood up.

Cedric slipped his arm off of your shoulder. For some reason you had wished he held on for just a while longer.

He walked you to the entrance of the dungeons.

"I'm sorry i just.." He trailed off.

"It's alright," You laughed, "I get it. It's not a very pretty place down there"

He kissed your forehead once more, before turning and leaving.

Skipping down the long staircases, you smiled to yourself as you whispered the password and stepped into the common room.

You groaned as your eyes met with Blaise's. He sat at the green couch, along with Draco and Goyle.

"Look at that, L/N finally decided to show up." Blaise snickered, turning his head around for a moment to face you.

"Leave them alone Blaise." Draco spat.

"Aw common, don't like that i'm messing with your lover?" Blaise chuckled, making a fake frown.

"You can shove it, Zabini" You stomped over to the entrance of the dormitories. "I'm not his lover."

Goyle let out a loud snort, while Draco and Blaise continued to glare at you.

Once you made it to your dorm you changed into your pajamas, singing your favorite song as you danced around your room.

You dorm mates hadn't returned yet, so why not have some fun? 

Loud buzzing erupted from your phone, making you settle down. 

You plopped onto your bed and opened it.

Draco.

Where were you today?

You.

F off ferret boy.

Draco.

Can you just answer the damn question?

You. 

No.

You shut off your phone.

Suddenly another buzz shook your hand.

"leave me alone!" You screamed, opening the message.

"Oh.. it's Cedric."

Cedric :)

Hey! How's it hanging?

You.

Ferret boy won't leave me alone, so i'd say not good.

Cedric :)

Who?

You huffed as you placed your phone back onto your night stand, squishing your face into your pillow.

After a while you got bored, so you grabbed your phone again.

Draco.

Meet me at our spot.

And wear that outfit I like.

You felt your mouth hang open.

"What.. The-"

You.

Let me guess, Pansy Parkinson?

That's laughable.

Hey would you mind sending me a picture of "Your favorite outfit"? I want to be able to show it to Jesus when i finally die.

Draco.

I'm going to kill you.

You burst out in a fit of laughter. 

You.

Don't get mad at me Dray, you did this to yourself.

Draco.

When i see you i swear I'm going to make you pay.

You.

Kinky :o

You laughed again.

When he didn't answer you, you closed your phone and laid down on your back.

Feeling yourself drift off to sleep, your body jolted up when loud knocks echoed through the room.

"Y/n! Open this bloody door!"
