I stared into my cauldron, wondering if I was doing it right. I checked the ingredients and put the measurements in correctly. I jotted some notes down as I worked because I was almost positive that he would quiz us on this later. I brushed my hair out of my eyes and glanced at Draco, catching him looking at me before he looked into my cauldron. I raised an eyebrow. "Are you having problems with yours?" I asked with a smirk. I always found it amusing when he screwed up in his favorite class.

My nose scrunched up at the smell that was wavering out of my cauldron. I glanced at Hermione, who was staring into hers with a determined look. And, of course, it looked like it was supposed to. It was a bright purple while mine...was brown. "You probably added too many slugs." Harry commented, noticing my discomfort. I groaned. 'Great, another failed potions assignment' I thought, annoyed. I stole a glance at Kat and smirked, happy that I had our meeting later to look forward to.

"well... no!" Draco snapped at Mel. I took one last glance in Ron's direction, and when Draco nudged me i snapped back. "What are you lookin at?" He asked rudely following my gaze to the gryffindor trio. "Oh nothing." I looked down into my cauldren... sort of purple. Getting there. Maybe i should have payed attention to snape... "So Draco.. you gonna try to sneek your name into the goblet?" I asked, not sure if his father had figured something out to get him in.

I looked up at Draco and raised an eyebrow. "Really?" I rolled my eyes and continued with my potion. It was slowly turning lighter as I stired the slugs and newts in it. I listened to them bicker for a moment and perked up when she mentioned the goblet. I looked at Draco again, hoping the worry didn't show on my face. "No. I haven't figured out how yet." He grumbled. I felt relieved. I knew he wouldn't last long even considering how much he tries to show off. Those tasks can get pretty brutal...

"You know the decision's in two days." I had thought of trying, but then decided it was worthless to do that. A simple aging would never do the trick. The Weasley twins had tried that, i heard from Ron, and all they got out of it was beards. I chuckled to myself at the thought, then looked up. Both Mel and Draco where staring at me. My jaw dropped a bit. "What! It's exciting when you finally get the right shade!" I gestured to my boiling bright purple potion. Class was over and i would be glad to get out of there with the awkwardness that was also brewing in potions class that day.

I looked at Kat oddly but decided to ignore it. We finished our potions and mine was thankfully the right color. I had to help Draco a little to make it lighter than it was. It wasn't perfect but...he would pass with it. We walked down the hall and.....
-------SKIP AHEAD---------
"I can't believe today's the day of the drawing. I wonder who will be picked." I said to Kat as we walked to Defense Against the Dark Arts. She seemed a little giddy about it too. We sat down in the back of the class and I smiled at Draco who was in the row behind us.

Moody had already walked in and was scribbling something on the board... Neville was sitting quietly in his seat reading through a book about plants. Not gonna lie, i had felt just a bit bad for him the first day when Moody had shown the three forbidden curses... but then i got over it. "Alright!" Growled moody. "Class had begun. Quiet down." Ron was still muttering something in Harry's ear. "Now Mr. Weasley!" Moody snapped and pulled out his wand slapping a closed zipper on Ron's mouth. The whole class laughed and he turned red. He was so cute when he got embarrised.

I laughed at Ron with everyone else. Draco sneered at him, enjoying his embaressment. The class quieted down and Moody continued with the lesson on...something. I slouched in my chair and zoned out while he talked. "Miss. Rinaldi?" He annouced and my head snapped up. "What?" The class laughed again. Kat pursed her lips. "I asked you what the purpose of the Hand of Glory was?" He asked again, sounding irritated. I paled. "Mr. Malfoy?" "It's a withered hand which, when a candle is inserted into it, gives light only to the holder." Draco said and I glanced back at him. He smirked and I rolled my eyes.

I smiled at Mel, who kind of looked embarrised after not even knowing she was being asked a question. I leaned over and whispered. "Where you maybe day dreaming about something? or someone?" I teased her a lot about it, without ever actually saying it. Finally morning classes where over and a break for lunch was here. The three of us headed out of class and towards the great hall when i suddenly stopped. "Oh brilliant!" I said sarcastically. "I have to make a run to the library. I might be there all lunch.. so i'll see you after then?" I started backing away in the direction of the staircases.

I looked at Kat oddly as she backed away. "Ok? Do you want me to go with you?" I asked her and Draco and I stopped in the hallway. She kept walking away, shaking her head. "I guess we'll see you later?" I said and she scurried off. "That was weird." I added to Draco. He seemed uninterested. I sighed and followed him to the Great Hall.

I kept my path to the library until they where out of sight, then turned course to the third floor, and slipped into the deserted classroom where we usually met. It was empty, "Ron?" I whispered. "Hello?" "Kat!" I heard that voice and jumped smiling. I flung around and smacked him on the chest. "Dont- do- that!"I laughed and he wrapped his arms around me.
-----------Draco------------
Alone...alone with Mel...again....alone.... should i say something? I wondered as we walked to the great hall for lunch. "So..." Maybe i should invite her to hogsmede. Yeah, thats casual, "heard anything about the goblet?" What? Thats not what i wanted to say... Great. We took a seat at the Slytherin table and i just went with it.

I sat down and shrugged. "Not really. Have you?" I asked, sounding awkward. It was just Draco...and me. What was I supposed to say? I looked up at him and I suddenly wanted to brush his hair out of his eyes. I ended up staring at his hair while resisting the urge to touch it. It was better than looking in his beautiful green mesmorizing eyes....
---------------Ronald---------------
I laughed at her for hitting me and wrapped my arms around her waist. I pulled back and smiled at her. I could barely make out her face in the dark classroom but I could see enough. "Hey beautiful." I said and kissed her.

I smiled.. and turned red kissing him back. Finally i pulled away and rested my head on his chest. He was too tall to lay it on is shoulder. I sighed. "Whats wrong?" He asked shaking his red hair out of his eyes. "Nothing.. and everything.." I answered not looking at him. "the secrecy thing gettin to ya kat?" He asked, even though he already knew the answer. I nodded. Suddenly we both shot looks at the door, and noticed the door handle jiggling. I had jinxed it to lock.
----------Draco-----------
I was staring at Mel behind my hair and noticed she was staring at me too. I quickly looked away and piled some food onto my plate. I glanced up at the goblet wondering who's names would be pulled out. Tonight.. hopefully a Slytherin. "So.." I breathed back at her..

I drummed my fingernails on the table awkwardly. I looked at my empty plate, not really hungry. I looked back at him when he spoke again and sighed. "Soo.....?" I said, making it sound like a question and raised an eyebrow
------------------Ronald----------------
My eyes went wide when I looked at the door. I heard a spell muttered and I shoved Kat out of my arms and behind a desk. The door opened and Harry walked in. He stared at me oddly for a minute and I stared back. "Hiya Harry."

I crouched behind the desk and held my breath. "uh hi" Harry said curiously. "Ron what are you doing in here? I heard voices." Ron shuffled, "Voices? What voices? There weren't any voices." Harry looked around Rons shoulder and i could have sworn he saw me. "then what are you doing in here alone?" He continued searching the room for another person. I didn't move a muscle.
----------Draco------------
"Are you going to Hogsmede this weekend?" I finally blurted out, not even sure why i asked. I didn't even know I was going to hogsmede. "After the first task on saturday of course"

I looked back at him. "Oh. Yeah. Probably. I'd really like to go back. I kinda miss it." I admitted and shrugged. "Why?"
-------------Ronald--------------
"I don't know. Just...chillaxin. What are you doin' here, Harry?" I asked, trying to move to stand in front of the desk. I hoped I blocked the view of him seeing Kat. I knew I was bright red. He raised an eyebrow and looked around me as if trying to see if I was hiding something.
