The Mudblood and The Slytherin Prince

Chapter 5: The Names

You're back in another classroom, but this time Malfoy has his two goons with him: Crabbe and Goyle. Crabbe and Goyle guard the door while Malfoy takes you into the teachers office and shuts the door. You don't get why he just can't do this in front of other people. He's never taken people in private to torment them. It's odd.

'I told you that you should've left with some friends. Look where you are now.' He says with his usual smirk. 'No one gets away with laughing at me.'

'Everyone else was laughing.' You tell him with no tone in your voice or any expression on your face. You're fed up with this. 'Now, if you'll so kindly excuse me, I have other things to be doing other than sitting in here with you.' You go to leave, but he steps in front of you and guards the door. 'If you have something you want to do,' you say walking closer to him, your face close to his, 'then do it. I'm tired of these games.'

Malfoy doesn't know what to do, so he pushes you down.

'I have something I want to do, but I'm waiting for the right moment. I need to know something about you. Remember? I said I'm going to destroy you and that's what I'm planning. I'm just waiting for the right moment.' He crouches down and his face is close to you like yours was to him a moment ago. 'I'm tired of these games, (l/n).' He says almost mocking you. 'You think I want to be in here, close to a mudblood like you? And alone for that matter?'

'You could've just done this in front of your idiot friends, there was no need to bring me in here... unless there was?' You say smirking at him.

He lets out a scoff and gets up. 'You better watch yourself.'

It's finally time to hear who is in the tri-wizard tournament. You sit with Harry, Ron and Hermonie and they're all taking their guess who will be in the tournament. You haven't told them about that night and you're just wondering what Malfoy is going to do. You look over and see he is staring daggers at you. God, can't he just get a hobby instead of staring at me all the time? You decide to annoy him a little and you smile and wave at him. He gives you the finger and turns back to his friends.

'(y/n), who do you think will be chosen?' You hear Harry ask. You just shrug your shoulders.

'I never really thought about it.'

'Sit down please, everyone. It's time to select our champions!' You hear Dumbledore yell over everyone. He starts dimming the candles and he approaches the goblet. The blue flame turns red and a name shoots out.

'From Durmstrang... Viktor Krum!' Dumbledore says. Everyone from Durmstrang starts cheering and everyone else is clapping.

'I think he could win.' You say to your friends and they nod in agreement.

'The champion from Beauxbatons... Fleur Delacour!' Again, more cheering and clapping.

Your heart starts to beat rapidly, Hogwarts was next. The blue flame turns red again as a piece of paper shoots out. Please don't be Cedric, please don't be Cedric. You two haven't talked much since he decided to put his name into the goblet. You didn't want him to. You tried to talk him out of it, but his friends got the better of him and he put his name in anyway. You look at Hermonie and she gives you a smile and mouths 'it'll be okay.' God, I hope she's right.

'And finally, the Hogwarts champion...'

You swear it takes Dumbledore an eternity to answer. You can feel your heart in your throat and everything goes silence after he says...

'Cedric Diggory.'

You couldn't hear the clapping or the cheering. You heard nothing, not even your heart beating. You see Cedric walk towards the front and he looks at you. His smile vanishes when he sees your face, but he kept walking.

You come out of your daze when the goblet turns red again.

'I thought there are only supposed to be three champions?' You whisper.

Dumbledore grabs the paper and his face changes.

'Harry Potter.' He says quietly. I look at Harry and he just ducks down trying to hide himself, Dumbledore speaks louder. 'Harry Potter.'

Hermonie pushes him to go forward and he slowly starts walking up to the front with everyone else. You can hear people whispering and someone yells that Harry is a cheat. You look back at Malfoy feeling like he had something to do with this. He is just smiling like this is the best thing to have ever happened.

The champions leave and everyone else starts heading back to their common rooms. You find Malfoy and pull him into the abandoned classroom before he even has a chance to leave. You put a silence charm on the door so no one would hear you yelling at him.

'Did you have something to do with this?!' You yell at him, pushing him back.

'I bloody wish, that was amazing.' He says laughing. You keep pushing him until he is against the wall.

'It makes since that you would! You said you wanted to destroy me and I feel pretty destroyed right now! One of them could die!' You scream punching his chest. 'I can't lose them.' You fall to the floor crying. 'They're my best friends. Cedric accepted me when no one else did and became my only friend in my house. He's one of the main reasons why I even stay here!' You pull your knees up to your chest and hug them.

Malfoy just sighs, 'I would have loved to have something to do with this, seeing how upset you are--its quite funny actually--but sadly, I had nothing to do with Harry getting in. Whoever did it was bloody brilliant.' He stops for a minute and crouches down in front of you and whispers in your ear, 'but you know little dove, if Harry doesn't make it, we can always be friends.'

You look him in the face with hatred in your eyes. You didn't realize how close he was to you because when you lifted your head up, your nose was touching his. You could feel his breath on your lips and it sent a chill down your spine. You shivered a little, hoping that he didn't notice.

'Well,' he says quietly, 'it's always an offer.' He leans in a little closer to you then stands up and leaves the classroom.

'What the hell is wrong with me? Don't think shit like that. He's Malfoy. He hates muggle-borns and you. Don't do this to yourself.' You say out loud to yourself. You get up to leave the classroom and as you walk towards the door, you see that Malfoy didn't leave at all.
