Good Old-Fashioned Loverboy

Chapter 12-Good for you, you look happy and healthy, not me

TW: Puking

Summer was coming to an end, sadly. But, there are some good things! Like, being able to see friends, new teachers, Cedric...

No. I cant think of Cedric. But I have to, I told him I'd think about it over the summer.

It's the only thing that's been on my mind, if I'm being honest. I love Cedric, I really do, and I've been kicking myself everyday because I told him I would think about it.

To be honest, I just don't know what I'm going to say to him. It was just awkward that I even had to wave goodbye to him, imagine how awkward it's going to be when I have to tell him how I feel.

But besides that, today we're going to The Leaky Cauldron to meet up with Harry, Cosette and Hermione! Can't wait to see them, we're also getting school supplies with them and I really hope that we don't see too many kids, if you know who I mean.

We're at Leaky Cauldron now and we met everyone and although it's only been for a bit, it's been a real good time so far. There has been one thing that's been on everyone's minds.

Sirius Black.

The murderer, who betrayed Harry's parents and their friend Peter Pettigrew back then. He's escaped from Azkaban which is nearly impossible to get away from, he could be murdering many people but, I hope not.

"Weasleys! Fancy seeing you all here!" I heard a voice call. "Amos, nice to see you!" I heard dads voice say. Well this is going to be good. "What're you all doin' here, aye? Just for fun?" Amos asked.

"We came to see Harry and Cosette," Ron said, "And get school supplies, but that's not as fun" "Ah yes so very good to see everyone here! We're here shopping for school too, Ced can't wait to see everyone" Amos said. 'Everyone' Everyone except me.

"Speaking of Cedric," Dad said "Here's the man! So wonderful to see you Ced."

"Hey everyone, how was summer break?" He asked. Everyone replied with 'Great' and 'Spectacular'. Well, everyone except me obviously. I didn't really want to talk to him right now. Me and Hermione left because she knew I didn't want to talk to him. Luckily he didn't follow.

"Thanks so much 'Mione" I said. "Well of course, I could tell you were getting uncomfortable." For the rest of the day we shopped and later we had to depart for school.

"Bye Mum and Dad! See you later! I love you!" I yelled from my compartment window while we rode away. When they were out of sight, I sat back down. My compartment had me, Hermione, Ron and Harry. I always ended up sitting with them somehow. There was someone in there, who looked like a Professor.

"Who's that?" Ron asked. "Professor RJ Lupin"
Hermione said. "How'd you know that? How is it that she knows everything?" "It's on the suitcase Ronald" Hermione sighed. Me and Harry sat back and laughed at the bickering. We have a bet going on that they'll get married. I think they will, Harry doesn't. I'll win, like I always do.

We were talking until the train suddenly stopped. "What was that?" Ron asked. "I don't know, but let's stay inside. Don't go out." I said "Says you Renee!" Harry said and I turned to him. "We all know that this would be a perfect time for you to go and escape to see Cedric."
"Don't mention that right now, Harry. This are really complicat-"

"Shut up" Hermione said. "What?" Said Harry. "Just shut up! Trust me!" We all sat there for about 5 minutes until this ghost looking thing came through the compartment door. Suddenly, the compartment felt empty. Like nothing was worth anything anymore. Like life wasn't a thing. It felt like my soul was being sucked up. Suddenly, everything went black.

"Harry, Renee, wake up!" Hermione said. I sat up and some guy was giving me and Harry...chocolate? "Here eat this, it'll help" He said. I didn't take it at first, I questioned it slightly. "Don't worry it's chocolate." I grabbed it, but still in shock.

"W-what was that thing?"Harry asked after a second. "It's a dementor, one of the guards of Azkaban. It's gotten out and searched the train for Sirius Black." The man said. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to have a little word with the driver." He started walking out the compartment.

"Eat." He said. "You'll feel better." "Who was that?" Harry and I asked. "He was the man sitting with us, Professor Lupin. I believe he's the new defense against the dark arts teacher."

"Are you okay Renee?" I heard rushing through the door, and it felt as if thousands of questions came at me at once.

"Guys, guys. I'm fine. Just in shock." I said. "Now if you'll excuse me, I would like to use the restroom." Everyone left the compartment doorway, the last one leaving was Cedric.

I started walking towards the restroom. I went in and immediately started to hurl over the toilet. "Hello? Is someone in there?" I heard a voice say. "Yes, someone is. And she is fine, don't worry about he-" the person walked in. Of course out of all people it was Cedric.

"Oh hey Renee, it's you! I thought I heard someone sounding sick so I came in to check on them, and it turns out to be you. Well that's good, at least it wasn't a stranger." He said and smiled. He really did have a quite charming smile. I smiled back at him, but then went to the toilet again.

Cedric knelt down right beside me and held my hair back. "Hey, it's gonna be okay. Do you want me to go get someone?" He asked but I shook my head.

I finally got my way back to the compartment, with help obviously. I walked in and they all stood up when I got in. But I immediately laid down and they all came besides me. "She's okay," Cedric said "just don't stress her out too much. It'll make things worse for her. Keep an eye on her."

It felt good to lay down for a bit. But then I got confused. I sat up. "Why aren't you feeling sick?" I asked Harry. "I'm the chosen one, I don't get sick." Hermione hit him on the arm. "Don't lie to yourself" She said and we all started laughing.

"Hmm, so how was your adventure with Cedric?" Ron asked and I gave him the death stare. "Ronald don't get me started" I said angrily "I was puking and then he barged in but it's fine, it's in the past, it doesn't matter."

"But Cedric matters to you" Harry said. "Shut up and let me sleep." I said.
