To say Cedric Diggory was the mum friend would be an understatement. In fact, he was the personal therapist turned mum who'd stay up with you until 4am yet scold you for not drinking enough water.
Elara laid across the seats that were in the Hufflepuff common room. It was 5am, she wore her yellow night gown and her long dressing gown that she had for Christmas the year prior. Cedric wore his pjs, his favourite quidditch team's logo on them and dark slippers on his feet. Elara seemed emotionally worn out, yet hyper at the same time. Was that possible? It was now. "Now why is it you fear exactly?"
"Oh sod off," Elara mumbled, sitting up to take a sip of water that remained on the table. Cedric put his hands up in surrender. She really didn't want to admit it. Not to herself.
"Feisty," he mumbled, grabbing an energy drink and taking a massive gulp of it. "So anyways, you excited for Hogsmede?"
Elara shrugged her shoulders. "I mean yeah, surprised dad allowed me because of other father," Cedric gave her a strange look. "What? He's a murderer or at least convicted as one,"
"I know, but from what you've told me before he did that," Cedric drawled on. He didn't want to test an opinion that so many held.
"Spit it out then,"
"It's just both your dads were in love..." Cedric thought for a moment. "It's odd that he'd betray you all for you-know-who," Cedric laughed slightly. Elara took a sip of her water. "Maybe you-know-who was his sugar daddy?" That water now was spat out.
"Cedric Amos Diggory," Elara shook her head, a small smile on her face. She sat up, her legs now crossed on the chair. "If he's ever found to be innocent, you'll be the first to tell me you were correct,"
"So anyways, how's you and Hermione?" Cedric moved his eyebrow up and down and gave Elara a strange look. Her eyebrows furrowed and she tilted her head to the left.
"What?" Her entire face was scrunched up in a confused look.
"Never mind,"
"Oh!" Elara breathed out. "Did I tell you about Snuffles?" Cedric gave her a look, which told her she hadn't yet. "Well, you see, I was in the forest that's behind my house and I saw a gorgeous stray!" Elara beamed at him. "They had misty grey eyes and a beautiful black fur coat," Elara gave a frown. "I named them snuffles, I just hope he's okay, they looked neglected and painfully skinny,"
