Time skip
I wake up the next day knowing that I won’t be able to face anyone, let alone Cedric or Draco. Hermione, who is already dressed and has her books ready, looked at me aghast.
“hurry up or your going to be late” she snaps
“I can’t go today,” I say quietly.
“what, we have exams today, and you never miss class” she stammers, clearly confused.
“I’m, uh, sick” I say, pulling the covers up to me chin.
Hermione sighs knowing that she wouldn’t be able to drag me out of bed. As she leaves, she turns back at me and gives me a smile, but her eyes are filled with concern and worry. She turns back around and walks down the stairs. I spend most of the day in my bed, reading books and sitting there crying until, around lunchtime, I feel someone slowly open the door. Cedric peers through the open door and sighs at the sight of me laying in my bed, tears still running down my face. Cedric walks up to me and laid down on my bed. He wraps his arms around me and presses himself up against my back. I turn around on my side to face him and tuck my head into his chest. We just lay there for a while arms wrapped around each other. Cedric pulls his head away and looks at me.
“What did he say, tell me” he says gently
I close my eyes preparing to tell him.  I try to compose myself, but I feel the words just pour out of me. Cedric’s eyes widen and I see anger fill up in them. I stand up letting the words sink in. I sit up almost as abruptly as him. Cedric storms out of the room. I shout after him, but he doesn’t turn. I slip on my robe and shoes and run after him. I see Cedric storm towards the great hall. Draco and his friends turn the corner in front of him, going into the great hall.
“Malfoy!” Cedric yells angrily.
“Got a problem Diggory-“
Cedric punched him in the jaw causing him to stumble back. Draco runs at Cedric and punches him in the chest. Cedric staggers back coughing. Draco hits him again in the jaw. Regaining his balance Cedric runs at Draco again, he places his hand on Draco’s shoulders and pushes him to the floor.
“don’t – ever - speak – to – her- again” Cedric shouts between punches. Blood sputters out of Draco’s mouth.
“Cedric stop your hurting him” I say but he keeps going.
“Cedric” I say louder. Cedric keeps punching him and Draco breath becomes dry and wheezy. Blood is trickling down his cheek
“CEDRIC STOP” I shout, I run up to him and throw myself over an almost unconscious Draco, Cedric stops, angry and breathless.
“Walk away Cedric, walk away” I say softly. Draco steps back slowly but soon fastens his pace and runs around the corner. I turn to Draco who I am kneeling beside. I touch his face and try to make him move. His eyes are still slightly open, and he is awake, but barely. I pull out my wand and press it to Draco’s chest, without saying anything Draco body begins to glow and the cuts on his face reseal and the bruises heal.Draco’s friends eyes widen and they start to whisper. I wipe a stray hair away from his eye.
“Draco, Draco” I say softly tapping his face.
Draco flutters his eyes open and I sit back up. Draco looks around expecting Cedric to be there, but he isn’t. I begin to get up, but Draco sits up with a struggle.
“Wait, where are you going” he splutters.
“I didn’t think you would want me around; I’d probably infect you with my filthy blood” I shoot back.
“But you just saved me, you healed me” he says
“Doesn’t mean I want to stay in the same room as you” I say harshly. I turn away and walk around the corner. I feel footsteps follow me.
“This doesn’t mean that I like you mud blood, but thanks” he says
I shake my head and keep walking.
