Forgotten Malfoy// Cedric

Chapter 35

Mom,
Hi mom, I'm sure dracos filled you in about the ball, and the tournament, Cedric's been entered, he finished the first task a bit ago, it's scary, but it's also amazing watching him work so hard, and be so appreciated. Anyway, for the ball I need a gown I was wondering if you would be willing to send me one, I hope your okay, I miss you, and I love you.

Days passed before she responded, which happened to be a day before the actual ball. I read the letter first.

Dear Lyss,
I got a dress made personally for you, I'm sorry it took so long I hope you'll love it. Cedric seems like a brave young man from everything that Draco has told us about him. I'm sure he'll do great, I love you more darling, have a good time at the ball.

Hermione walked into the room, "is that your dress?" I nodded, "Yes." She sat on my bed as I began opening the box. I pulled out a long sleeved dark blue dress it had gems all down the top and a beautiful ruffle skirt. "It's stunning Lyss." The dress was amazing. I immediately wrote back to my mother thanking her for the dress, letting her know how much I loved it. "Hey Hermione. Why won't you tell Ron who asked you?" She shrugged, "he was a jerk." I smiled, "sounds like him. Tell me." She laughed, "victor." I gasped, "Victor Krum?" She nodded, I grabbed her hands, jumping in excitement. "You're kidding?" She shook her head. "That's amazing." I hugged her tightly, "I'm so happy for you." She smiled, "thank you Alyssa, I mean it."

Hermione went to the library to study, and I decided to walk around the castle, bored. I made my way to the bridge. "Draco?" I whispered. He was staring down at the quidditch pitch. He looked at me and then turned around. "Are you okay?" He scoffed, "why would you care?" I stood beside him, "why wouldn't I?" He sighed, "there's death eaters, inside the castle, I don't know who, I don't know how. But I'm scared for you." My heart skipped a beat, "your kidding?" He shook his head, "why won't he stop." I whispered. Draco stared at me. "Why won't he just let me be happy." Tears threatened to cloud my eyes, "I want him dead Draco, is that bad? I want our father dead." He shook his head no, "I want to want him dead, but I can't Alyssa. I know what he's done, but I still can't hate him." I bit my lip, "he's a terrible person. He won't stop, he'll never stop." Draco closed his eyes, "I know." I sighed, "I'm sorry I left, I'm sorry he made you do what I was supposed to." I watched as he turned away, "I'm glad it wasn't you." I rested my head on his shoulder, "I miss you." He leaned his head on mine, "I'm so tired of fighting, fighting with you, with father." I looked down at the castle, "I know you are." I pushed away from the rails, "I'll see you." He gave me a small smile and walked off in the opposite direction.

Early the next morning I was woken up by an extremely excited Hermione. "It's time!" I smiled sitting up. The first thing I did was shower, I then began doing my makeup, next I did Hermiones and then Ginnys. "You guys look beautiful already." Next we did up ginnys dress. "Gorgeous." I whispered. She laughed, spinning in the mirror. Hermione braided her hair and she was done. "Thank you," she whispered.

I then helped Hermione get her dress on, she did her own hair and she stood in-front of the mirror. "You look like a princess." She smiled, "it's your turn." First she curled my hair pulling two small pieces to the back. "I love it." I smiled touching it softly. Next we pulled my dress out, she helped me do it up. "That's honestly the most astonishing dress o have ever seen Alyssa." I laughed, "well it was my mother who picked it out." I held up the necklace Sirius gave me and clipped it on. My dress was tightly wrapped around the top of me until my waist where the skirt puffed out. And the necklace sparked on my neck. I did a spin, "wow," Hermione whispered.

I went to my bag pulling out the camera Sirius gave me. "We need a picture." Hermione stood beside me and I set the camera up, we both laughed as the flash blinded us. "You ready?" She nodded, "I'm ready."
