There he was. Draco Malfoy.

He was sitting on the side of the fountain, head in one of his hands. He seemed.. sad?

"Draco.. I'm sorry about yesterday." You said, slowly sitting down next to him.

"No. It's fine. I understand." He said, mopy looking down.

"Draco, I'm being serious." You said. Looking down with him.

"So am I." He said, slightly turning to you.

"Are.. you okay?" You asked.

"Nope. But will I ever be?" He forced a laugh.

You were shocked. You had never seen this side of him.

You placed your hand on his.

"Draco. If you ever wanna talk about it, I'm here for you." You said holding his hand.

"(Y/n).." He started, whispering in a cracked voice.

His head down, but clearly, he was crying.

"Hm?"

"If I.. ever do something wrong.. would you still be my friend?" He asked.

That was random, but you didn't think too much of it.

"Of course."

"P-Promise..?"

"I promise."

-----

A few months later

The crowd was going wild.

You sat in your seat, uncomfortable with all the noise.

Shaking, you were scared for Cedric and Harry.

Music was playing loudly as the four contestants walked out.

Dumbledore started speaking as everyone went silent.

"Cedric.." You whispered, clenching your fists harder than ever.

"Prepare yourselves!" Dumbledore yelled.

"They'll be fine mate. Calm down." Ron patted you on the back, noticing your fear.

You watched Cedric as he gave his father a hug.

He turned his back and looked at you, giving you an assuring smile.

"I'll be fine. Promise." He mouthed.

You smiled back worryingly.

"On the count of three."

You watched as they all disappeared into the maze.

-----

Everyone was chit-chatting, you couldn't bother.

You weren't in the mood to.

Viktor Krum and Fleur were sent back, slightly harmed, but not fully dead.

The sky started becoming darker and darker.

A sharp pain filled your head.

Something didn't feel right.

There were gusts of wind, as the sky turned grey.

What was happening.

Everyone was starting to worry a bit, but not as much as you.

You head started aching and you could barely focus on anything.

"(Y/n) are you alright?" Hermione asked.

You couldn't give an answer, you just groaned in pain.

Draco seemed to have noticed your unease and walked over to the three of you.

"(Y/n), are you okay?" He asked, putting his hand on your shoulder.

"Shove off Malfoy." You heard Ron and Hermione pitch in.

"(Y/n), would you like me to leave?" He asked.

"D-Draco.." You whispered weakly. He was the only one who could help.

"Yes (Y/n)?" He asked, leaning down closer to your face.

"G-Get my dad.." You whispered into his ear.

He nodded and left.

This pain..

This aura..

This.. power..

Soon enough, you had caught everyone's attention.

Snape had just arrived, along side Draco.

"Step aside." He calmly said.

Everyone did as told.

"(Y/n), darling, everything will be over soon. I promise." He whispered in your ear.

As he did, the pain got weaker.

"W-What's happening.. my energy.." You asked, trying to stand up, but falling back weakly.

Draco caught you in his arms and helped you stand.

"You feel it, do you not?" Snape asked.

"Feel what..?"

"Your father." He whispered.

-----

Lightning struck, as a beam of light shone from the field.

Harry and Cedric were found to be lying on the ground, completely covered in dust.

People were cheering and music was playing loudly.

Something was not right.

You and Draco looked each other in the eye.

You looked back down to the field.

Why couldn't you feel his aura.

You hurried down the steps stumbling, as Draco followed.

"No.. no it can't be.." You fell to the ground, tears rolling down your cheeks.

Draco clasped his hand over his mouth.

Everyone was still cheering, unaware of the situation.

You helped yourself up, but fell back down.

"(Y/n), stop!" Draco yelled, running after you.

"Let me at him!" You cried, as Draco tried to hold you back.

The crowd started to lower their voices.

Dumbledore rushed towards Harry and so did the other teachers.

"He's back! Voldemort's back.." He cried, holding Cedric in his arms.

"He killed him!"

You stopped struggling.

'What..? But he promised.." You thought, still devasted by what you saw.

"Draco let me go! That's my boyfriend!" You cried, kicking Draco in his leg.

He let you go as you rushed over to his body.

You collapsed on the floor, crying.

"Cedric.. you promised me.."

Suddenly, everything went blurry and you passed out.
