{ 1994 - Year 4 }

You were sitting next to Harry in the first DADA class of the year, waiting for the professor to arrive so class could start. You had a new DADA professor; "Mad-Eye Moody." That's what people called him, presumably because he came off as a little... well, quite literally, mad. You thought he seemed a bit deranged, but you held your judgements for when you actually got to know him as a teacher.

Your head shot up when Draco entered the classroom alongside Gregory Goyle and took the seat parallel to you in the row on your left. If it weren't for the space in between your rows, you would be right next to each other.

As he sat down, he looked over to you and smirked. You blushed and smiled back, your heart racing as he sent you a wink. Before either of you could exchange any more knowing glances, Professor Moody barged into the classroom and started class.

Over the summer, you and Draco wrote each other several times. You couldn't even remember how many letters you sent each other at this point. The letters consisted of not only flirtatious conversations, but deep conversations, too. You really got to know each other. Though it was a bit hard to communicate and bond using just parchment paper and your owls, you felt like you've known him for years.

On the train ride back to Hogwarts just over twenty-four hours ago, you and Draco met up in the bathroom for a proper reunion after not seeing each other for the entirety of the summer. Let's just say you shared an affectionate hug before engaging in a ten-minute snogging session. You couldn't go any longer than that, though. Neither of you wanted to make your friends suspicious.

To clarify, you and Draco were now dating. He had simply asked you in one of his letters, and of course, you replied with an enthusiastic ratification, and the rest was history. It felt rather surreal to call him your boyfriend, but in a good way.

The two of you had made the wise decision to keep your relationship private, for now. Hermione was the only one who knew about it. She was skeptical at first, but she supported it once you had assured her he treated you well. You had no idea how Harry and Ron would take it, though, and you felt slightly guilty about it. But Draco made you happy, so whenever they found out, that's exactly what you would tell them. Plus, your guilt faded after you told Draco to try not to bother them as much.

As the DADA class went on, you and Draco barely paid attention, subtly sending each other longing glances and smirks practically every five seconds, all the while hoping no one would notice.

Names from Hogwarts and two other schools were placed into the Goblet of Fire for a chance to be selected as one of the champions for the Triwizard Tournament. The two other schools were the Beauxbatons Academy, an all-girls school from France, and Durmstrang, an all-boys school from Northern Europe.
