(Good luck)
I woke up. It smelled like Madam Poppy Pomfrey. I was in the infirmary. A cold hand was holding my arm. "Draco," I groaned. "Just rest," he said standing up. "I'm heating up," I said. The blankets felt so thick. He uncovered the sheets. A cold towel was placed on my head. Draco's hands flicked around my hair. I looked him in the eye. I mustered up my courage. "Draco, why were you next to me in the dining hall?" I asked. "To protect you, " he confessed. "Protect me, I would do better protecting you," I laughed. Draco smiled and the world went fuzzy. I fell asleep.

Days have passed. Healthy enough to participate in Quidditch, our team was doing better. The work I missed was already stressing enough, however. Thankfully Draco has promised that he would stay by my side. During Quidditch, he made sure I kept up and helped me with questions about homework. "Malfoy, what would I do without you," I sighed. "What?" he said, looking at the potion reference book. Hogsmeade was coming up. "Y/N Amberson," Cedric said, pulling me aside. "Would you like to accompany me for ice cream? I could give you more tips and help," he asked. "It would be a pleasure, Cedric," I replied. Draco scoffed. The stress of choosing which tie pin to wear was overbearing. There are only a few options to spruce up our uniforms. I looked at my Malfoy necklace. "Why are you taking it off?" Draco whined. "Remember how Tom misinterpret it, Cedric probably will too," I snapped back. "Wear this pin," he said pointing at my dad's old tie pin. "I'm worried about losing it," I said. "You can just buy a new one," he added. "No, this is one of a type," I said. At the Hog's Head Cedric sat us down near the windows. He went on and on about the different strategies he watched. He talked about his dad and how proud he wanted him to be. He's probably extremely proud I thought. He asked me questions. That's when I told him about my dad. I told him stories about how he would teach me how to make the best baked goods. My mom picked up on his skill, but I never did. "This has been really great," he said. He pulled out his wallet. "Here for my share," I said. "Oh no, this is on me. What kind of gentleman would I be if I asked someone out on a date and did not pay," he said. A date. That sounded nice. After paying we walked around the village. "My hands are so cold," I said. He grabbed my left hand and placed it in his pocket. "What are you doing," I said, blushing. "Warming your hands," he said. His hands were so warm. We walked past Draco who laughed and then looked upset. "What was that about," Cedric asked. "He thinks Slytherins and Hufflepuffs are way too different," I said. "His opinion doesn't matter, if I like you then I like you," he said staring ahead. I looked at him in shock. "I like you too," I said smiling at the ground. "Look me in the eye," he said. I stared at his gray eyes. There were snowflakes in his hair. He put his warm hand onto my face and pulled me in. A soft kiss was stolen from me. He took my first kiss. I'm not complaining though. We kept walking. "Will you be my Slytherin girlfriend," he asked. I grabbed his hand. "Yes," I answered. "These past few events have made me realize how much you've been there for me and how much I need you," he confessed. When I got back to the common room, Pansy came up to me. "Dating your enemy, the Hufflepuff captain," she said. "How would you know," I smiled. "A little birdie told me you kissed him at Hogsmeade," she said pulling my arm. "Well you're not wrong," I smiled even wider. I went back to reading my book. Draco sat next to me. "Are you serious," he said. "About what?" I asked. "He's probably dating you to spy on our team," he said. "No, he's been helping me with Quidditch," I said. "You still should even be hanging out with him," he scoffed. "You didn't care last year," I said. "I didn't realize what you were to me last year," he yelled. I ran back to the dorms. This time I didn't cry. Why would I care? I had Cedric, everything I wanted.
