Three of us (Draco X Reader X Cedric)

Chapter 34

You had avoided everyone pretty much for a whole week, you would go for meals either really early or late. You would go to sleep a lot later, or stay up all night working on your plan in the library. You would sit next to Hufflepuffs or Ravenclaws you knew during your classes. You skipped tutoring, and one trip to Hogsmeade. Your plan was almost finished. Now you just needed to steal the marauder's map. Harry would never give up at the risk of losing it. He even hid it to make sure no one would find it. And get into Dumbledores office when he wouldn't be there but that would be easy. But now you needed the sword to present itself to you which was going to be the most difficult thing, you could give the death eater a fake one. But where on earth were you going to make one or find one?

It's Monday, the start of the week and you make your way down to the great hall for breakfast. You sat at the far end of the table near where the Professors usually sit. You were sitting next to third years hoping to blend in.

'That's it, come on y/n talk to us' Hermione said angrily then softly, sitting opposite your table.

'Ok, talk about what?' you said attentively.

'You know what' Harry said sitting next to her.

'No seriously, what?' you say pretending to play dumb.

'what happened that night?' Ron asked putting honey on his oatmeal.

'I can't really say' you whisper.
'Ow' you sigh under your breath holding your check with the huge cut on it, bearing the pain for as long as you can.

'Can't say? seriously y/n' Hermione then says holding both your hand in hers. You then tell the three of them everything about what happened in the forest. Except for the fact that you had to retrieve the sword. They all looked at you rather apologetically. 'And you can't tell us wh..' Harry begins. You just nod, it felt like a huge mistake you made telling them.

You make your way to the astronomy tower, that's where you spent most of your time. It became your place and no one came up there anymore. You knew that the trio were going to be at the Quidditch pitch for Ron trying out to be the new Gryffindor Keeper in an hour and it would be the perfect time to get the map.

*****

You were just leaving muggle studies which you already knew about, of course, considering your parents were muggles and you considered yourself one to...kind off. You ran down the stairs which never seemed to end, it was as if you were walking down an endless loop of stairs which seemed to be multiplying. After what seemed like a month you made it to the bottom of the stairs catching your breath. Oh, why did muggle studies have to be at the top of the south end tower?

You walked down the corridors, you had probably toured the whole school by now considering your class was at the other end of the castle. You took one of the main hallways which were crowded as usual. You bumped into loads of people as it was packed.

'H-Hey' Cedric said trying to move between the crowded

'Hi, oh um' You replied and then you saw Cedric being pushed the opposite side as if he were a fish going upstream. Cedric slid a piece of paper in your hand. He shrugged his shoulders making a readable facial expression. Soon you couldn't see him. So you automatically turned around making your way to the common room. It was so strange so many people. It could be it was Monday. The stairs were also packed with students. You ran up the stairs to the fourth floor. You opened the note which read:

'Come by the Hufflepuff common room, I have something to show you'

He wanted to show you something, this could go very badly or be very good. But you would go there soon as you go the map. 'Peace and quiet' you said entering the common room which had a few other people inside. You opened the door to the girl's dormitory, no one there. You opened the boys one, no one there. Which was good in this scenario. The wooden floor creaked as you stepped into Harry and Ron's room. You looked left and right making sure it was safe. You rummage around the desks in the room but the maps not there. You open all the drawers that are in the room and search. Under the bed, under the pillow.
