The First Task
The crowd was filled with all of the students waiting for the first task to begin. Many people, including Fred and George, were going around placing bets with others, while the champions were all waiting in the tent for the tournament to begin.
"Y/N, I think we should check on Harry before he comes out." Hermione told me, as we were walking up towards the stands.
"Yeah, we should." I responded, then we both turned around and walked towards the bottom of the stands where the champions tent was.
Hermione walked up to the curtains and called for Harry, "Psst, Harry."
"Hermione, is that you?" Harry responded from the other side of the curtain.
"It's both of us." I chimed in.
"You need to focus on concentrating," She instructed him, "after that you just have to-"
"Battle a dragon?" Harry interrupted.
Hermione almost started crying after he said that and she pushed the curtains away and ran to give him a hug. The photographer then took a photo of both of them, blinding everyone in sight.
I then went up to Harry and gave him a hug, whispering in his ear, "Please be careful."
"I'll try." He sighed.
Eventually, Dumbledore and Barty Crouch arrived, making both of us leave because all of the champions were about to pick their dragons.
"Listen to what they're saying." I urged Hermione from outside the tent.
"No, I can't." She nodded.
"Fine, I'll do it." I said, placing my ear close to the tent.
"Okay, Fleur's got the Welsh Green dragon."
"Krum has the Chinese Fireball."
"Cedric got the Swedish Short-Snout...which means Harry got the-"
"Hungarian Horntail!" Hermione gasped.
"Great, the dragon will probably kill Harry before he gets to compete." I sighed.
"That's not funny!" Hermione urged.
"I wasn't trying to be.." I muttered. "We should probably get to our seats now."
We both headed towards the stands, I led the way to the Hufflepuff section looking for Thomas. Though, only Leo, Amelia, Charlie, and Owen were standing near each other.
"Where's Thomas?" I asked Amelia, looking around the stands.
"I don't know, he said he'd meet us here." She shrugged.
A few minutes later Thomas and Ivy had arrived together.
"Where were you?" I told Thomas, as he walked up next to me.
"Hey, sorry, Ivy wanted me to wait for her." He responded.
"Oh." I replied, looking over at Ivy who was standing next to Charlie.
"Is that okay?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.
"What- Oh, yeah. That's fine." I said, looking down.
Finally, the tournament was about to begin as they announced Cedric's name.
"Thomas, you aren't gonna stand next to me?" Ivy shouted from behind us.
"Um," He looked at Ivy then at me, "No, I'm good."
Thomas smiled at me as I smiled back and you could hear Ivy groan quietly in the back.
"Yikes." Leo muttered under his breath.
"Shut up." Amelia whispered to him.
Cedric, Viktor, and Fleur were all able to retrieve the golden egg and it was now Harry's turn. He came out and looked around at the crowd, then turned towards the dragon. The dragon immediately flew towards Harry causing him to stumble down the rocks. After a while of Harry getting thrown on the rocks, Hermione shouted from the stands, "Your wand, Harry!"
Harry heard her and immediately took out his wand, shouting, "Accio, Firebolt!"
Harry hid behind a rock while he waited for his broomstick to appear. Once it was close enough to jump on, Harry ran up and hopped on. Harry flew up to the top of the stands and the dragon followed, breaking free from the chains.
"Harry!" I shouted, widening my eyes at the sight.
Harry was now out of the stands, flying over the castle. We could barely see a thing but eventually I noticed Harry had fallen off of his broom and was hanging on one of the buildings.
"I can't watch this." I said, turning around and leaning my head on Thomas's shoulder.
It all went quiet for a second until everyone started cheering once again.
"What happened, did he win?" I asked, turning back around and seeing Harry back up in the air.
"Yep." Thomas responded, as we both, including the rest of the students, started cheering for Harry as he flew down and grabbed the egg.
All of the students started exiting the stands, as many continued cheering. Thomas and I both went down the stairs together as we went towards the tent.
Once we entered, Hermione and Harry were already talking with each other so we went up to them.
"Harry, that was amazing!" I told him.
"Yeah, you did great." Thomas said.
"Thanks. I'm glad it's finally over." He sighed, staring at the golden egg in his hands.
"Well, there's still the second task." Hermione said.
"Don't remind me."
We congratulated the rest of the champions and then headed inside the castle. Hermione and Harry both left to go to the Gryffindor common room while Thomas and I went to the Hufflepuff common room.
We were about to enter the common room when Thomas stopped me, "You know what, I think I'm just gonna head up to my dorm."
"Oh, are you sure?" I responded.
"Yeah, I'm kinda tired. I didn't get any sleep last night." He sighed.
"Okay, good night." I smiled, then I went to give him a kiss on his lips but he turned away before I could. That was weird.
"Night." He said, as he headed inside.
I turned around and made my way down to the dungeons toward the Slytherin common rooms. As I was walking downstairs I wondered why Thomas had rejected my kiss, then I realized he had been pretty distant recently. Maybe he was just tired or maybe it had something to do with Ivy? Was something going on between them?
I was so overwhelmed by my thoughts that I just burst into tears. I was right outside of the Slytherin common room, but I didn't feel like going inside so I sat down.
I continued crying, until a few students came out from the common room. I looked up and saw that it was Draco, Crabbe, and Blaise.
"Y/N?" Draco asked, as he noticed it was me on the ground. "What are you doing. Did you forget the password again?"
He then noticed my face and realized I had been crying, his expression immediately changed.
"I'll meet you guys there." He told Crabbe and Blaise. They continued walking down the hall as he sat down next to me.
"What happened?" He questioned, worriedly.
"It's...Thomas." I spoke, as my voice broke.
"What did he do?" He urged, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Well, he's just been distant lately. I wanted to hang out with him earlier but he told me he was too tired and then I went to give him a kiss and he backed away."
"I'm sorry, Y/N."
"Do you think I did something? Or maybe he lost feelings for me?" I questioned.
"Of course not. He's an idiot for making you think that."
"Thanks." I smiled weakly at him.
"Are you hungry? I can go get you some food from the Great Hall." He told me, starting to get up.
"Yes, actually. Thank you." I responded. He smiled back at me then left to go to the Great Hall.
Draco may be rude at times but he's also really sweet, when he wants to be.
(Third Person POV)
Draco had entered the Great Hall, walking towards the Slytherin table. He grabbed a plate and filled it with all of Y/N's favorite food. Once he got what he thought was enough, he headed back out.
He was walking down the hallway near the stairs, when all of a sudden he heard a random thud come from the transfiguration room. He continued walking until he heard it again. So, he decided to go see what it was.
Once he opened the door, he immediately regretted it. Inside of the classroom he found Thomas and Ivy making out on top of one of the tables.
"Bloody-!" He shouted, widening his eyes.
Thomas pulled away from Ivy and stood up from the table.
"Draco?" He asked, looking closely and realizing it was in fact Draco.
"What the fuck are you doing, Pearson?" He yelled at Thomas.
"This isn't what it looks like." Thomas told him.
"Oh really, you weren't just sticking your tongue down Ivy's throat?" He questioned. "Y/N's gonna be destroyed when she finds out you cheated on her! I'm gonna fucking kill you, Pearson!"
Draco then attempted to lunge at him but Thomas had taken out his wand and stopped him.
"What do you mean when she finds out? She's not going to find out because you're not going to tell her." Thomas bellowed.
"You're mental if you think I'm not going to tell her." Draco furrowed his eyebrows.
"You won't tell her because if you do I'll tell her you're in love with her." Thomas threatened.
"What are you talking about?"
"We both know you have feelings for her, Malfoy."
