''What are you doing tonight?'' Cedric grinned as he rose a brow at my looks, '' I have a proposition,'' He continued, as he nudged me to the side, earning a chuckle from me,

''I have a thing, but then I can be all yours,'' I smiled at the brown-haired boy before me - my words caused him to take a step back, gawking at me wide-eyed,

'' What thing?''

I felt my insides twist - I hate lying, especially to him - but the jealousy and the distrust he would force on me wasn't worth it. I had to lie,

'' Nothing,'' I forced a smile, releasing a shaky breath as I sent him a sweet look. '' Just, studying with Hermione,''

His eyes narrowed in mine, seeking to find if I was truthful or not - and my mind strayed off to Draco, deeming of asking him to meet me in the library tonight. We haven't studied for the whole weekend, and I wanted nothing more than to get this over with,

'' Alright then,'' He smiled, sending me a wink as he took a step back, '' You owe me a rematch,'' His words caused me to roll my eyes at him,

'' That's stupid, Cedric,'' I chuckled as I blinked quickly, '' You lost - there's no such thing as a rematch here,''

'' Really?'' He hissed, eyes snapping to mine, '' Then there's a couple of other things we could do,''

'' Ugh, stop it,'' I pushed my palms into his chest as he tugged me closer - wrapping his warm, safe arms around me, '' What if someone sees?'' I spoke quietly,

'' Let them,''

I shook my head, forcing myself out of his hold, ''You are going to make me late for class, Hufflepuff.'' I mocked him, chewing my lower lip, '' And we both know how Hermione feels about me being late for class,''

He let out a muffled laugh at my remark, catching a few steps back '' Fine,'' He rolled his eyes, '' I'll wait for you tonight,''

'' You better,''

I turned around, walking around the corner we were hiding behind. The second my eyes raised from the ground, the smile I had glued to my lips seconds ago vanished - at the sight of a certain blonde-haired Slytherin, leaning against the wall with his hands shoved into his pockets, and then - I saw her. Pansy - once again flinging herself onto the smug boy. Her hands stroked his arm - his eyes studied her front as she laughed at something he'd just told.

Disgusting.

I can't place my finger on what it is,

but something about the sight of them,

Together;

Annoys me.

I marched my way up to the two chattering students, only to notice that the blonde one already has his blue eyes placed on mine as a thread of light rips through them, '' Tonight?'' I heaved, feeling myself swallow thickly - before the raven-haired girl spun around as she shot me an annoyed glare, but my sights didn't leave Draco's - eyes narrowed in another, feeling the tension throbbing as his demeanor changed in anger,

''What is happening tonight, Drey?'' Pansy whines, glancing back at Draco - and I couldn't help but cringe when she calls him that, Drey.

I've always found a bit of pleasure in that nickname, not because she's the one speaking it, but because I know how much he hated it.

He shrugged roughly, still staring at me with vivid eyes - nostrils flaring as I rose a brow in question - why is he acting like this?
