7

AN: Ok guys I've finally got my shit together! This will be taking place in year 6, with the Yule Ball happening earlier than normal. Cedric is alive and things from the 'Filthy' story may be altered. I've just gotta get my timelines right... anyways here is chapter 7

The next day, Cedric and I were sitting on the grass. Laughing about silly things, talking about important things and so on.

"So, have you got your suit for the ball yet?" I asked the cheerful boy, as I fiddled with a flower that he brought for me.

"As a matter of fact, I have. I think you're going to like it, I actually had to talk to Adeline to make sure it match your dress."

I smiled at the consideration he put towards this. "You didn't see my dress...did you?" I pondered and he laughed.

"Aid wouldn't let me go near it! Let alone see the colour of it." I laughed at his comment. We continued to talk for a while until I felt like I was being watched.

Cedric was talking to me about quidditch, but I couldn't help but look around the courtyard to see if someone was watching me. I propped myself up on my elbows to get a better view. Students were studying, or goofing off but then...

I turn my head to find Enzo also sitting on the grass, looking at me. He was with his friends of course, but he didn't seem to pay attention to what they were saying.

We locked eyes and I couldn't help but smile at him. He looked between Cedric and I, who was talking my ear off mind you, and chuckled. I narrowed my eyes at him and he simply put his hands up, surrendering.

We both laughed. It was weird how, without saying anything, we still understood each other.

"Helena! Are you even listening?" Cedric's voice snapped me out of my trance. I whipped my head around and looked at the confused boy. I nodded my head and he continued talking, I bit my lip and turned around to see Lorenzo laughing. He winked at me before standing up and making his way into the school, a mischievous look plastered on his face.

What are you up to Berkshire?

My eyes lingered on the boy for a few moments before I turned my attention back to Cedric who was still talking about quidditch.

"That game was rough though! You should come to one!" I hummed in response. "Are you alright? You seem...out of it." He raised an eyebrow. I felt bad for the boy, he was trying to get to know me but I just couldn't tear myself away from Enzo.

"Uh- yeah. Yeah, for sure." I answered and he smiled, his friends came over and started talking to him. I couldn't help but feel curious as to what Lorenzo was doing. The look on his face, made me want to know more.

"Ced- I'll be right back, alright?" I stood up and he just nodded, turning back to his conversation with his friends. I walked at a fast pace into the castle, in search for the boy with the luscious brown locks.

The deeper I went into the school, the more empty the corridors became. I watched as he turned corners and walked swiftly down the halls. He turned another corner and I followed suit, but when I did, he wasn't there.

That's strange. He was just here...

This corridor was completely empty, I turn my head and found myself standing alone. I furrowed my eyes and was about to walk off when two strong arms picked up and spun me around. A line of shrieks and giggled escaped my mouth, I recognized his laughter too.

"Lorenzo Berkshire put me down this instant!" I laughed out as he placed me back on my feet. "Couldn't keep yourself away from me, huh?" He chuckled and I had only realized that I was up against a wall, when he placed both of his hands on either side of my head.
