Three of us (Draco X Reader X Cedric)

Chapter 61

The Slytherin room was quiet, more than quiet. That's a first. There was nobody awake. You crept in making no noise. Climbed up the stairs. Before going into Draco's room you peeked through the door to Lewis's room. You couldn't see him. Just some other dude sleeping. He was probably out and about, hopefully in the castle. You then opened the door to Malfoy's room. The room was dark, except for the window which gave off moonlight which illuminated Malfoy. You scanned the room, messy. The bed wasn't made. Glass bottles everywhere, some half empty or just empty. He was definitely drinking...a lot.

'I see you're here mudblood' Malfoy says turning around with another bottle in his hand. He quickly then rolled his left sleeve down. You're suspicions were rising. You walk over to him and take the bottle from him. 'No more'. He looked into your eyes for a second. 'Uh, do you want to talk?'

'Talk? about what I'm perfectly fine' Malfoy says trying to reassure you.

'You aren't' you say and you knew this from experience. No matter how much someone says that they are alright, there is still something even though it may be tiny. 

'Come on Draco' you say giving him a hug, you could feel how tense he was and he slowly started calming down. His heart was beating rapidly. Malfoy then put an arm around you. 'You don't talk to me anymore'

'There's some stuff' Malfoy says carefully 'But I can't say'

'Oh,' you knew from the start, he'd be dragged into things he shouldn't. But how could you stay away from a person like him? 'Well, tell me how does it make you feel?'

'It makes me feel terrible, like I-' Malfoy began and then stopped, swallowing. He then grabbed another bottle and drinking from it. You then grabbed a few of the clothes on the floor folding them. One thing you couldn't stand was lots of messiness. 'Please, talk to me. I'm worried about you'

'Can you please just go! leave y/l/n!' Malfoy said a little louder, which made you flinch, closing your eyes. 

'Why did you just flinch?' Malfoy asks looking startled. You just look down and move backward as he moved closer to you. You knew exactly why you flinched, but couldn't say it out loud to him. 'You know what, I don't even know why I bothered coming to you. If you're just gonna lock yourself away from everyone and push me away!' you deadpanned leaving his room, Malfoy stunned 'Yeah! go back to that Diggory boy of yours!'

'Is this what this is about!' you snarled 'Are you jealous?'

Fine!' he says and you turn around 'I'm jealous is that what you wanted to hear?'And he threw the bottle onto the floor and you flinched yet again, pieces of glass were on the floor. You turned around. 'Go be happy with him!' Malfoy says and slams the door.

You then heard voices as you sniffed. Lewis had a huge wound on his arm, but this wasn't the time to get angry at him. You wiped a tear from your cheek and left.

There he was sitting with his friends, laughing and enjoying himself. You looked at him threateningly from the entrance of the Great hall. You stormed towards him at the Slytherin table. From a distance, you yelled 'Lewis Aiden Y/l/n!'. You could see Lewis cursing under his breath. 'Ugh, you little snake!' you hissed at him grabbing his ear. 'Ow, ow, ow, ow' Lewis whispers. The Slytherins were wide-eyed. 'Were you in the right mind! going out into the forest? You could have gotten yourself killed!' you seethed 'And-'

'Shut it. Can we not do this here?' Lewis said grievously looking around the hall. You put your bag down on the table.

'You went out again last night as well!' you say a little lower than before ignoring all that he said.

'Don't be a-' Lewis began, but you cut him off.

'I swear to-' quickly, Lewis holds your wrist tightly and drags you tightly out of the great hall. Everyone, look at you and then go back to talking among themselves. On your way out you saw, Malfoy sitting alone, separate. He just stares at you strangely and then looks down playing with his cereal. You just look down.

'Oh, you're one to talk y/n. Don't be cross at me when you've been seeing him too!' Lewis says angrily. Your eyes widen 'Oh yeah I know!' Lewis says shouting as he sees your expression. 

'At least I'm not the one getting myself killed every night!' and you pull up Lewis's right sleeve to see a big bruise.

'Stop it!' he says and pulls the sleeve back down. You hold your head 'okay, okay, okay, okay'. 'Nope, uh uh' you whisper under your breath. Lewis was then reaching his hand out to put on your shoulder, but you quickly moved away. 'Don't touch me' you whisper. And he stops, moving his hand away.

 'What happened last night? with you and-'

'None of your business-'

'Okay, please don't tell me anything y/n. That's how it is from now on, don't tell me anything' Lewis says taking a deep breath.

'You- n-never-'

'What I never tell you anything?' Lewis asks, eyes wide and eyebrows raised 'I tell you everything cause you are my sister' 

'Lewis-' you said you're voice breaking

'No' he says and leaves you standing at the entrance of the great hall. Your eyes started tearing and you could feel your chest getting heavy. You breathed in and out slowly. You looked down and walked down the great hall and grasped all your stuff which you left at the Slytherin table. 'Don't' you whisper to Harry who came up to you. You let the tears fall, swung the bag over your right shoulder, and hurried out the hall, head down.

*****

You sat on a marble bench in one of the corridors, the ones where no one would ever go. You leaned your back against the wall and hugged your knees. You had been sitting here for the past half an hour. It was peaceful down here. Soon, you decided it was best to go back to your common room. You dragged yourself through the halls. You skipped potions today.
