Cedric's Sister

Ch 6

Penny's p.o.v

I was looking over the school for Draco. I found out earlier from Crabb and Goyle that they had made badges that said "Potter Stinks" and passed them around to the students.

I was in the courtyard where there were many students walking, sitting, talking. I found Harry instead, talking to my brother. I was on my way, but Cedric's friends caught me instead. Some tackled me in hugs and others were cheering my name.

"How does it feel for the Lucky Penny to have a famous brother?"

"Bet you're excited, eh?"

"Don't worry, Lucky Penny! Cedric will beat Potter!"

It took a while, but I made it out and continued to head where the two boys were at. But Cedric was standing alone.

"Where's Harry?" I asked him.

"He just left. Headed that way." He pointed at the direction behind him. Did Cedric say something to him?

"Do not be mean to Harry!" He put his hands up in surrender

"I wasn't!"

"Then why are all your friends wearing those ridiculous badges and teasing him?"

"I already told them to not wear them or to not make fun of your boyfriend." I felt my face heating up after hearing his comment.

"Boyfriend? H-Harry isn't my boyfriend!"

"No?" He looked in disbelief. Why doesn't he believe me?

"No. We're just friends. Very good friends." I corrected him. But he gave me a teasing smile.

"What?" I asked worriedly.

"You, my little sister, are so innocent. It's cute. Don't ever change." He commented and returned to his friends.

I decided to look for Harry and took notice that there was a large crowd of students from where Cedric was. Said Harry was at.

I made my way through the crowd, and found Draco turning into a ferret by Professor Moody. After a while, Professor Mcgonagall came in and turned Draco back to normal. I ran up to him to help him stand up.

Harry's p.o.v

It was hilarious to see that got turned into a ferret. But Professor Mcgonagall showed up and turned him back to himself. Penny appeared and ran up to him, helping him out.

It hurt me to see them together. I didn't realize my hands were in the form of fists. I felt bitter.

The ferret boy ran off with his gang. Penny stayed and looked at me with a bright smile. And just like that, I wasn't upset anymore.

"What was that all about?" She questioned. She wasn't watching the whole thing?

"You- you don't want to know." I answered. Malfoy was first making fun of me about dying in the tournament. Then, mentioned how Penny wouldn't care if I was gone because she has him and Cedric. I don't want Penny to be torn, and I know she would never think like that.

I have to be honest, I felt troubled when I saw her helping Malfoy. But why?!
