Chapter 1
“…Harry had put his name in the goblet, there was no mistaking it and of course he had to act clueless about it….” He heard Draco muttering to himself as he opened the fourth year dorms.
As Blaise walked closer toward Draco’s bed curious to hear the full monologue that he was having about Potter this time, he noticed the scrunched up parchment paper on the floor, slowly piling up as more were being added to the pile. kneeling down Blaise picked one up and unfolded it.
‘POTTER STINKS!’
Blaise mumbled, “ Huh… now I know why you weren’t at lunch.” He threw the paper back on the floor and joined Draco on his bed.
“ Dray… I know you and Potter have this complicated relationship, where you both want to hex each other all the time.” He took a breath and as Draco was about to open his mouth to object about how it was Potter who hated him and he was just trying to defend himself, Blaise started speaking again.
“But this.” He looked down towards the parchment. “This is something I would expect a first year to do. Surely you aren’t…I don’t know, embarrassed about this rivalry you both have.” There was a pregnant pause.
“Just if you’re pissed off about this whole tri-wizard tournament stuff, be like the rest of the school and talk about it normally. Don’t try and stand out to get his attention by doing this. It’s…I hate to say but pathetic even for you Draco.”
Blaise stood up and grabbed his books off his bedside table. “ I’ve gotta go to Herbology now, think about what I’ve said…yeah?”
When the door closed as Blaise walked out, Draco got off his bed and started cleaning up the parchment paper that surround his sleeping area. He knew Blaise was right. He usually was which pained Draco to admit and for the love of Merlin he would never tell Blaise that.
But Draco was a Malfoy, and Malfoy’s never backed down. Picking up the final paper, he looked at it.
‘Sorry Blaise but I’ll always be the one who has his attention’ he thought smirking.
