The next morning me and Cedric waited for Miss.Pomfrey to let Cedric leave. She was less then pleased that I spent the night with him. Despite her attempts to hide her snide comments I still heard a few of them. Which I chose to ignore being the nice person I was.
Actually that's a lie. I chose to ignore them because I was worried about other things.
"Right well you kids are free to go. Take your egg with you, and try to be more careful."She walked away from us and ran her fingers through her hair. "I don't get paid enough for this."
"You've heard her Ced. Let's go get some breakfast you need to eat."I said slipping my hand into his open one.
"I'm really not that hungry."I watched as he eyed the golden egg he just retrieved yesterday."
"Are you not hungry or are you actually just too curious about the egg to eat?"
"Hmmm."He pretended to think. "I think i'd have to go with the second one."
We made our way down the hall.
"Well how about this. We get breakfast with Harry and the rest of them and see if they've figured out anything about it yet? And if they haven't found anything we can skip a few lessons and figure it out ourselves. How's that sound."I asked dragging him towards the great hall.
"You know you're cute when you act all smart."He smirked.
"I'm always cute. So yes or no?"
"Yes. Only because I'm actually really hungry."
"I knew it."I smiled at him.
"You'd think almost getting my face burned off would ruin my appatite but oddly enough it hasn't. I feel as if I could eat a whole horse."
"Well let's stick to breakfast first alright."I chuckled.
"Right."
We made our way down the stairs and I couldn't help but feel eyes on me. I pushed it off and continued our way down to great halls doors.
When we got to the great hall I realized I was feeling eyes on me because people were actually staring. Cedric seemed to notice it to because he slightly squeezed my hand as if to tell me it'll be alright.
I ignored eye contact with everyone and sat down with Cedric at the Gryffindor table across from Harry.
"Err,Morning Y/n." Ron said scratching his head.
"Morning to you too."
"Umm,Y/n?" Harry started.
"Have you not.... Ouch. Merlin hermione why'd you do that?"
"Have I not what?" I asked.
"It's nothing he's a little messed up in the head from yesterday. Just ignore him." Hermione said as if I could tell that she was lying.
"Oh really? That's all?"
"Yup." The trio said in union.
I turned to Cedric and smirked.
"It's.." I trailed off looking for the clock in the great hall. My eyes fell upon the slytherin table and I noticed Malfoy arguing with somebody while reading the news paper.
My eyes finally fell on the clock and I went on.
"9:46 in the morning and I'm all ready being lied to. What a shame. Thought you lot had the decency to wait till after lunch."
"We're not lying Y/n." Harry argued.
"The hand doesn't lie." I shrugged my shoulders and got up and went behind Neville. "And neither does my best friend."
I placed my hand on Neville's shoulder. "Neville..."
"Yes?" He gulped.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing."
"Neville."
He looked down at the golden trio with pleading eyes.
"You've all got three seconds or I'm going to ask the Slytherins."
"Y/n...."
"One."
"It's really nothing I swear."
"Yeah what Harry said."
"Two. You're a bad liar Weasley."
"It's nothing..."
"Three!"
I turned to walk towards the Slytherins when I heard two voices calling my name.
"Oi Snape." They said at the same time.
I turned around and saw the twins smiling like idiots.
"We're about to rich." George said getting a nod from Fred."
"And how's that? You two rob a bank?"
"Nope. We've won an ass ton of bets."Fed grinned."
"Yeah that's what it is."George continued."
"Yeah alright you two. And what we're these bets on?" I asked deciding to go along with it.
"See for yourself." They said and Fred put a newspaper on the table infront of Cedric.
"No!" The trio shouted at the twins. But it was too late I already walked over next to Ced and stared down at the paper. The smile left my face right away.
"What the hell is this?!" I shouted.
"Y/n look.."
"Why the hell am I in the paper and why the hell does it say Malfoy's in love with me?!"
"Let me see that." Cedric said pulling the paper a bit closer to him.
We sat there and took it all in.
"
A Malfoy in love.
Snape's infamous daughter not only caught the heart of Hogwarts most handsome student (Cedric Diggory) it seems she's also taught a Malfoy to love.
Snape and Diggory seem like the perfect couple. But could it be better? Could there be an couple more powerful then these two? Malfoy sure seems to believe so.
It doesn't take a reporter to see the story behind those love eyes he has for Snape.
Can't even pay attention during a lesson.
All though it seems perfect in paradise maybe Snape is dreaming of a different paradise.
(Pretend that's not Pansy.)
Let's compare a few photos and you tell me for yourself.
Malfoy
Diggory
See any difference? Both seem like love struck little lads to me. Except only one of the two is her actual boyfriend.
Let's try one more time.
Not her boyfriend
Her boyfriend
Both eyes tell the same thing. It's young love. Did the young Snape teach the cold hearted Malfoy boy what love was? Are the two's arguments only a cover for their feelings? Will the two admit it to themselves or have they already admitted it to each other?
Snape can't live the best of both worlds forever. She's going to have to pick before both Diggory and Malfoy get hurt.

On the next page was pictures of me and Cedric. Every time I saw the flash there was a picture for it. There was pictures of us holding hands and me laying with him in the hospital. There was also a picture of me kissing him before his turn yesterday.
"What the hell? Who wrote this?" I said pushing it away from me.
"It was Rita."
"That nasty blonde." The twins finished for each other.
"Why is it always the blondes? Always the god damn blondes." I said putting my head into my hands.
I felt the bench shift beside me. I watched as Cedric got up and took the news paper with him.
"And where are you going?" I asked.
"Not right now Y/n. Just not right now." He said and walked off.
"Oh yeah cause it's my fault that nosy blonde witch decided to make up some bullshit story? You know what this is bullshit. All of it is. Every last things is bullshit. Bullshit bullshit bullshit. This school, Rita, my father, Malfoy, Malfoys father. And everything else. And they all just find it amusing. It's funny innit? Fucking twats."
"I think that's the most cuss words I've heard you say in one sitting."
"Quite impressive."
"Right. I didn't think she had it in her George."
"Me neither Fred."
I rolled my eyes at them and turned and faced the golden trio.
"Great friends you a lot are. Did you really think I would find out. I'd have to hear it through peoples thoughts."
"Well we were going to give you a potion to halt your powers till we tol- OWWWW. Bloody hell Hermione. That hurt." Ron said bending down to rub his shin.
"You were going to what?!" I screeched.
"We didn't mean it like that Y/n." Neville butted in.
"You were in on it too Neville? You know what I'm out of here. You lot are shit lairs and shit friends."
I turned and made my way out of the great hall ignoring their calls and the burning stare of Malfoy.
I made my way up to the astronomy tower and sat down. I felt the wind filter through my skirt. I needed to calm down and this was the perfect way.
I heard the door slowly creek open.
Not so perfect anymore.
