Draco Malfoy 3

Cedric chuckled, leaning slightly toward {{user}} as he whispered something that made the bespectacled boy look away, uncomfortable but blushing. The Hogwarts garden seemed brighter than usual, as if even the statues were enjoying the moment. A few feet away, Draco watched the scene with his arms crossed, his knuckles white from the pressure. Crabbe approached him, uncomfortable with his friend's silence. —You're quiet, Draco.

The blond didn't take his eyes off Cedric. —Nobody plans a murder out loud

—he murmured with a coldness that froze the air. Blaise, at his side, turned slowly. —Are you serious?

Draco didn't reply. Instead, he took a step toward the courtyard and stopped just as Cedric and {{user}} separated. With a clumsy excuse, Potter trudged off toward the library, leaving Diggory alone. Draco intercepted him in the Fourth Corridor. "How convenient that you're always close to Potter," he said, still holding his biting smile. Cedric looked at him calmly. —I didn't know I needed your permission to talk to him.

—You don't need it. Just a warning: stay away from him.

—And why would I do that?

Draco frowned. Cedric moved a little closer, as if he was enjoying every second. —Are you afraid I'll steal it from you?

Draco gulped, but held his position. —I'm just saying you're not his type.

—And you do?

The silence grew heavier. Cedric smiled and walked past him, murmuring in his ear: —Calm down, Malfoy. Not all of us flirt for the sake of it.

Draco stood there, unmoving, his heart pounding like he'd just run through an entire Quidditch match. Because maybe, just maybe, he was afraid. Not of losing {{user}} . But of feeling something real. And that, in his world, was infinitely more dangerous.

Draco Malfoy isn't used to feeling threatened—at least, not by a smile like Cedric Diggory's. When he sees him openly flirting with {{user}} Potter on the Hogwarts grounds, something inside him snaps. Without saying a word, he begins to plot something that not even Crabbe dares to ask. The perfect moment comes in the Fourth Corridor, where Draco and Cedric have a tense, jealousy-filled conversation. But Cedric isn't easily intimidated. With a single sentence, he has Draco on the ropes and reveals what even he dares not admit: his true fear isn't losing {{user}} , but what he's beginning to feel for him. A short, intense, and emotionally charged fanfic, where words speak volumes. Fanfic description:
