Forgotten Malfoy// Cedric

Chapter 75

When we landed in Godrics Hollow I looked to my left, and heard singing coming from one building. "What's going on?" I asked confused. "It's Christmas Eve Alyssa." Hermione nudged me. I stared at the church for a moment longer before following the two of them to a cemetery. We stood before his parents grave and he put his arm around me pulling me in. I gently set my head on his shoulder. "Merry Christmas guys." Harry whispered. "Merry Christmas." We both answered. I narrowed my eyes as an older women stood watching us from the side of the cemetery. "Do you see that woman?" I asked. Hermione nodded, "I think she's watching us."

Harry began following her until we wound up at his old home. We split up and I found my way into an old living room. I stared at the photos along the wall, flinching whenever I saw one of Sirius. I watched as he smiled in each one, he seemed so happy. Carefully I pressed my finger against the frame trying to pull him out. "I miss you." I whispered. From above me I heard a giant crash. "Harry, Hermione." There was no answer.

I quickly ran up the stairs to see a giant snake attacking them. Exactly like the one that came after me two years ago. "Alyssa, look out." I noticed the snake had turned towards me. Hermione shouted something and I felt a large blast then myself being apparated. I gasped for breath when we landed trying to calm down. Harry placed a hand on my back which I shook off. "Go inside I'll take watch. Leave the locket." They did as I said and I pressed my back against a tree looking out at the forest.

A few hours later I felt someone sit down beside me. "Hey Harry." I whispered. He set his head on my shoulder leaning onto me. "I'm lost." I nodded, "I know you are." He sighed, "I'm going to take watch go rest." I stood up, "we'll figure it out."

"HERMIONE, ALYSSA." I heard someone shout from outside. She looked up at me pushing herself out of bed, together we went out and we saw Harry with Ron, he'd come back. Hermione stomped forward shoving Ron screaming at him for answers. "Is that the locket?" I asked holding her back for a moment, he nodded holding it up. "You destroyed it." Harry smiled, "he did." I jumped into Harry's arms happily, "one down." He laughed spinning us around, ignoring the sounds of Hermione and Ron still arguing.

The next night Hermione was out on watch, and me Ron and Harry were all sitting together. "Did you miss me too Ron? Had to come running back?" I joked. He scoffed, "ya right." I smiled, "you could at least pretend to hide your sarcasm. We all know why you came back." He laughed, "at least your talking." Harry laughed as well. I hit them, "what's that supposed to mean?" Ron shrugged, "you barely said a word all summer, I thought maybe it'd change when it was just the four of us." I nodded and Harry nudged me, "it's alright honestly, just something we noticed." I bit my lip, "I don't know what's wrong, honestly, I just feel so, it doesn't matter I can't describe it." Harry nodded, "I think I know what you're talking about." We all sat back and Ron looked at me, "after Cedric and everything would you ever think about dating anyone?" I gave it a quick thought, "it's been three years and I haven't given it much of a thought." Harry smiled, "I think that means your not interested in falling in love again." I laughed, "damn you Cedric for breaking my heart. I still love you though." I blew a kiss in the air, Ron and Harry gave him a peace sign, making me smile again. "Thank you guys."

Hermione rushed in, "I have an idea." We all looked up eagerly. "We need to visit Lunas dad." I narrowed my eyes, "whys that?" She held up a book, "this symbol was drawn into the book." I looked at it closely, "how would he know what it is?" Harry's eyes lit up, "he was wearing that symbol at the wedding." I nodded, "this is our next step isn't it?" Everyone agreed, and I lay down wanting to rest before travelling again.
