20. QUIDDITCH & TROLLS
IN THE CASTLETHE FIRST HOGSMEADE trip was Thea with Teo and Tobi by her side the whole time. They stopped at Honey Dukes and spent way too much money on sugar, and they spied on Eva and Tommy in Madam Puddifoot's for a bit. When Thea saw Cedric and Niki there, Teo immediately covered her eyes while Tobi pushed her out of the shop to spare her feelings.
Thea appreciated it, because ever since the kiss at the Gryffindor party, she hasn't been able to get the Diggory boy off her mind.
It was a pretty memorable first kiss.
In the moment, all Thea could think about was how authentic the kiss was. It felt natural. Their lips touched and then Thea froze, unsure what to do. Cedric noticed immediately and placed a hand on her face, helping her just a bit. Then Thea relaxed, and in that moment, it was perfect.
And Cedric went to Madam Puddifoot's with someone else. Thea sighed, thinking about the past few days as she pushed her food around her plate at dinner in the Hall. She should've asked him.
"Thea!" Fred exclaimed, bringing the girl back to reality and making her look at the redheaded boy. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, you're in a different world, Sunny." George looked at her.
"I'm fine," Thea assured them, nodding while she gave them a small smile. The twins both gave her unsure looks. "Really, I am."
"Then eat." Teo joined the conversation, giving his sister a stern stare. "You've barely touched your plate."
That's when Tommy noticed where his sister's eyes were, and they were staring right at Cedric Diggory, who was at the Gryffindor table with Niki. Tommy noticed the flash of heartbreak in Thea's eyes before quickly moving seats so he covered Thea's view of Cedric and Niki. "Thea, eat."
She nodded and Tobi patted her shoulder, sitting on one side of her while Fred sat on the other. Tobi sat where Cedric always sat during dinner. He was always next to Thea for dinner, but now he wasn't even at the table.
"Trolls in the dungeon!" Professor Quirrel rushed into the Great Hall, screaming and the de Oro siblings immediately looked at each other in horror. Quirrel's eyes closed and he passed out, landing on the ground and sending the students into panic.
"Eva is still in the library!" Tommy said, fear in his voice and Thea's eyes widened. "I'm going to get her."
"Tommy, what's the statistic of wizards dying from trolls?" Noelia asked.
"It doesn't matter!" Tommy exclaimed, turning to his siblings. "I will go get Eva and I'll take her to Ravenclaw common room right after."
"We'll come with you." Tobi immediately said and Teo and Thea nodded. "You're not going alone."
