Chapter 6

Now that the introductions are done, time skips. This is now Y/n's 5th year in Hogwarts. She's currently the age of 16 and so is her friends. Nothing major happened in early years since well what trouble could an innocent child cause.. right?

⋇⋆✦⋆⋇　

You finally arrived at Hogwarts after a very long train ride.

gosh my back hurts..... am i aging already?!

You headed to dinner after a quick bathroom break. You sat in your usual spot in the Great Hall.

"Hey Y/n! had good holls?" said the voice you've been longing to hear.

"Penny! hi, holiday without grandma and grandpa was a little lonely.. but I managed." You said while giving her a hug.

"Yeah, sorry about your grandparents, there in a better place now..-" She placed her hand on top of yours.

"-You're always welcome to spend this years holiday with my family if you want." she offered, trying to cheer you up.

"I'll definitely think about it, thanks Penny."

Yeah.. so your grandparents both passed away due to their old age. grandma was first.. then it was grandpa..

You spent half of your holiday alone. Of course you were very sad of their passing, they were the only family you had left.

you let out a sigh

you both start eating your dinner and chat, per usual.

Penny told you all about the new gossips going around. "I told you so! look at him now, he has almost all of the girls here head over heels for him, Slytherin or not." Penny said looking at Mattheo who had quite a few girls following him around like a ducklings.

"Yes yes, I guess you had been right about what you said in our first year. Awweee, we were so little back then."

Mattheo's case was NOTHING like his father's. he managed to manipulate that in the early years. now, he has lots of friends and even more fans.

"Though I wouldn't say he's anywhere near as popular to our Hufflepuff Prince." Penny continued, winking at you.

"Cedric Diggory, right? he's alright I suppose. I actually never really had an interaction with him, I don't think. have you?"

"uh-huh, super nice and super perfect." she made her eyes sparkle while her hands rested on her cheeks.

Cedric was in his 7th year, Hufflepuff prefect, quidditch team seeker, good grades, good looks; he was honestly close to perfection. well he might just be.. no one can find his flaws, and no one even dare to try.

To be quite blunt, you've never had an interaction with people besides Penny, Mattheo, and the Golden trio, let alone someone who was older than you.

You weren't really that shy, nor did you have problems making new friends, it's just that you've felt enough with the friends you had as of right now.

You both finished dinner and head to your dorm that you shared with her since first year.

After saying your goodnights to each other, you tucked yourself in. But hours pass of just tossing and turning, you couldn't even shut your eyes for ten seconds.

You tossed yourself on to your back and stared at the ceiling, letting out a light huff in annoyance.

You looked over at your nightstand. On top of it sat a picture frame of you and your grandparents. You quietly took it and brought it up to your chest, holding it close to your slow beating heart.
