"Cedric! Ced!" I ran over to him, breathless from running all the way from potions.

"Hey, flower. What's wrong?"

"Okay, two things. One, thanks for the pygmy puff, and two, it needs to be private. Can i have a word?"

"Uh...sure." We walked behind a lone tree. "What's wrong?"

"The second task. Dragons. That's the second task."

"What....are you serious?"

"Dead siruis."

"Wow.....thanks for the warning. How did you know? We aren't suppost to."

"Least i could do. And don't worry about that."

"The badges, i've asked them not to wear them."

"It's okay Ced. Really. Bye. I'll see you later at the task."

"Yeah...."

Well, that's done. All's well that ends well. I think that's how it goes. What else needs to be done? I have potions homework from Snape.....damn. Ummm....Draco...get Ron to stop being a prick...save Cedric........ Yep. That's it.

Hmmmm.

"Hey Potter!"

Oh no.

"My dad and i, see, we made a bet on how long you'd last today. I bet ten mineuts." Draco paused, earning laughs from his goons. "My father disagrees. He thinks you won't last five."

"I don't give a damn what your father thinks Malfoy. He's vile, and he's cruel." Harry defended

Draco pulled out his wand and that's when i stepped up, bearing my own wand. I stepped infront of Harry.

"Hurt him, i hurt you." I challenged. "Want a duel? I'd gladly beat you."

"Alright, Potter." Malfoy said. "Your on."

I am so going to smoke him.

"Ready?"

We bowed and everyone backed away, a group now forming around us, including Cedric and his friends, and Ron and his temporary group.

"Go!"

"Collosho!" I instantly said, pointing at Malfoy' feet.

"I can't move!" He said. "Expelliarmus!"

I traced my wand in the air, casting Difendo, and succesfully blocked it, jumping out of the way.

"Confundus!" I said

He jerked a bit before clumsily looking everywhere, fumbling with his wand and words.

"St-pu-fi!" He jibbered

This created a mass amount of laughter in the circle around us, much to my joy. What can i use for the finale.....

"Incarcerous!"

Malfoy was bind in a rope, and wiggled everywhere, eventually falling over. It was really funny seeing that ferret squirm.

It felt bad too.

"Dont mess with me, my friends, or family, Malfoy. Finite!"

The binding went away, he could speak normally, and his shoes were unstuck, but he still sat on the ground.

I held my hand out to help him up, putting my wand in my pocket.

"Go on. I wont humilliate you anymore Draco." I teased

"Fine."

He took my hand and i helped pull him up off the ground.

"Some duel Draco!"

"Shut it!" I snapped to the random person. "Like you could do any better."

Several 'ohhh's and 'burn's' were coming from all over the place as i smirked, and turned to Harry.

"Shall we?"

"We shall."

We walked away, books and wands in hand, and guess what?

I kept a cocky smirk the entire time.

⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

I was awaiting in the stands for the second task beside Neville, Luna, Ron, Ginny, and others supporting Harry or Cedric.

"Woo!!"

The cheering grew, as out stepped Viktor with his dragon, then Fleur, then Cedric, who did very good may i add, and now, it was Harry's turn.

"Wooo!!"

I watched as the Horntail spewed fire at Harry, and he dove behind a rock. Even though he made it out okay, i was still jittery.

Probably still nerves from the duel.

"Oh! Dont you think Viktor did splendid!" Hermoine gushed

"Your whipped 'Mione. You two would be cute together!" I gushed back

She blushed. "He's Viktor Krum."

"And your Hermoine Gene Granger. Best witch of our time!"

"But-"

"Trust me, you'll have his owl by the end of term."

"Oh my god!" She screamed, jumping up. "Your wand Harry! Use your wand!"

As if on cue, he shot a bolt of whatever back and hit the dragon in the face, delaying it for just enough time to get his egg.

"Yes!!" The two of us yelled together

⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

"Harry! Oh, Harry! Are you okay? Are you dying?" I asked hurriedly

Madam Pomfrey was muttering spells and hexes everywhere, healing up any major wounds.

"And Cedric! Are you okay?" I asked

Cedric, who was in the bunk beside Harry's, was sitting up, smiling, and holding two thumbs up. They both had alot of scratches on their arms and face, their robes ripped, and ash mixed with blood everywhere.

At least he was sitting up.

"Is your arm okay?"

"Episky!" Madam Pomfrey hissed. Harfy groane in pain, holding his shoulder before nodding.

"Dandy." He said sarcastically

"Alright. I'm done with everyone. Mrs. Potter, feel free to stay till visiting hours are up."

"Thank you Madam Pomfrey." I smiled at her before she bustled away.

"I gave me a right fright." Said Harry

"I'd imagine. Gosh. Hermoine and i were leaping out of our skin the entire task."

Eventually, the lights dimmed, and the other three were asleep. I still had about an hour before i had to leave though.

"Can you help me with figuring this out?"

"Harry, i can't tell you that. Yes, i know everything that's going to happen the rest of our years, but this is your task. You can to it! Have faith bro."

He groaned and placed the golden egg back on his nightstand.

"Your right." He said

"Good. Always am."

"Just a little hint?"

"Harry." I laughed "No. Trust me, you'll be fine."

"C'mon dear, hours are up." Madam Pomfrey whispered to me.

"Bye Harry."

⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

I was just minding my own buisness, enjoying my free day, when all of a sudden, a wild Cedric appeared out of nowhere.

"Hello Ced." I smiled at him. He was wearing basic Nikey shoes, jeans, and a T-shirt that said 'AC/DC.' I love that band!

"Dont hello Ced me, Rose."

He stopped and walked infront of me, blocking my path.

"Are you okay Ced?"

"No. Not really." He anwsered, honesty written all over his face

"What's wrong then?"

"What....what aren't you telling me?" He asked

"Nothing."

"Don't play stupid, Rose." He said. "I heard you and Harry talking last night. You know what's going to happen? What's that suppost to mean?"

I could tell he was agitated by me not telling him.

"Nothing. It was a joke Cedric."

"I wish you wouldn't lie to me, Rose." He ran a hand through his already disheveled hair, sighing heavily.

"It's better if you don't know." I assured

"I don't keep secrets Rose! You know that. Why would you keep them then?"

"I have my reasons."

"What reasons?"

"Look, Cedric, i will tell you when the time is right, okay?"

"Until then, i won't be speaking to you."

"Ced, don't do this, please."

He just walked away, and left me standing there. I won't lie, i'm a bit heartbroken.

Because of my stupid knowledge, i lost a friend.

Screw me.

"I'm not in the mood Draco." I sighed as he neared me.

"When are you ever in the mood?" He laughed

"Wow. You laughed. Again. And it wasn't maniacal."

"Hardy harr." He joked

"Woa! You joked! Damn. I must've hurt you pretty bad in that duel. Sorry."

"I can be funny." He defended himself. "I promise."

"Mmmhhhmm. And i'm the queen of shiba. Anyways, what did you come to me for?"

"Just....to talk, i guess."

"Yeah. About that. Why do you even talk to me?"

"It's....complicated, in a ways."

"I'm a smart girl, Draco."

"You'd hate me if i told you." He sighed

"Why do you care if i hate you?"

"Because....i don't know."

"Then tell me."

"No." He denied

"Why are you so stubborn?"

"Why are you so nosy?"

"Hmmm. I'm a girl. It comes naturally."

"Hmmm."

"Goodbye, Draco."

I walked away, this time, me leaving him in the hall, staring after me, wondering 'What the hell?'

I'm not sure why i was so hopeful about what he was going to say.

Drama Llama!!

Poor Cedric....maybe things will brighten up for Rose and him soon.

What are your opinions on Draco?

Keep calm and slap a Dragon
