3 A.M. (Oliver Wood) *ON HOLD*

Chapter Seven: Goblet of Fire

The first task had been completed, and Celeste had been shocked to know that there was dragons in the first task. Apparently, the champions had to get a golden egg from dragons. From what she had heard, Harry had the worst dragon in the lot, but Celeste wasn't surprised. She almost wondered if he had purposely chosen the hardest dragon to make himself look better than the other champions. Honestly, Celeste believed that Harry would do something like that, just to get more attention on himself, and then pretend like he wasn't happy with the attention.

Over the time she had heard about the first task, she created a new chocolate that looked like the golden snitch, and was able to fly when it had its golden wrapper on it. The chocolate became a big hit with Oliver's quidditch team, as well as most of the students at Hogwarts. It was milk chocolate with little peanuts inside, as well as a hazelnut spread that the peanuts were mixed into. She also put white and dark chocolate on top like a drizzle to add decorations to the chocolate, and the drizzle added the small details of the snitch.

Celeste's shop had been very busy, so she hadn't seen the owl that had flown in for Lupin. She also hadn't seen the smile on Lupin's face when he read the letter from Oliver, telling the man he was going to give Celeste a surprise visit while she was working. Of course, Lupin made sure to stay quiet about the visit, that way it would definitely be a surprise like Oliver had wanted. He knew it would be hard for the boy to sneak in, so he hoped the boy would sneak in when it was extra busy, that way Celeste would be none the wiser.

Celeste had been packing boxes for orders, when she heard the bell ring above the door. She didn't bother looking up, since she knew most people would browse around the shop or come straight up to the front if they needed her. Celeste hadn't heard the quiet footsteps of someone walking up to her, so she jumped when she felt someone wrap their arms around her, but immediately she could smell who it was. Quickly, she turned around and wrapped her arms around Oliver.

"Hello, love." He murmured, as he held her tightly around the waist.

"I missed you," She said, kissing his cheek,"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" She asked, causing him to chuckle.

"Sorry, but I wanted it to be a surprise. I'm surprised Remus didn't tell you though, he normally can't keep a secret from you, but in his defense, neither can I really." He replied, making the girl laugh lightly to herself.

"I really wasn't expecting to see you. I'm so happy." She gushed, as she kissed him properly this time.

"I'm staying for the next couple of days, before I have to head back for practice," Oliver said,"I think I'll be practicing for a few weeks at a time, and I'll get some breaks every few weeks, until the beginning of our quidditch season." He added, and she nodded.

"Well, I'll be at your first game, and I'll try to be at as many others as I can." She replied, making him grin.

Knowing Celeste was going to be there for his first game, made Oliver want to train even harder so he could win. He knew Celeste would be happy if he won, but she'd be happy rather he won or not, simply because she was there to support him.

Oliver had decided to help Celeste finish packing up orders, before the two worked together to send the orders out. Once they were finished, Celeste ran into the back to find Lupin. As soon as she spotted him, she ran over and wrapped her arms around him. He was startled at first, but he soon wrapped his arms around her as well.

"Thank you for keeping the secret. It was a great surprise." She said, and he smiled.

"Anything for you, Celeste." Lupin replied, smiling down at the girl.

"We should leave early and go to dinner." Celeste commented, causing Lupin to shake his head.

"No, you two go to dinner, I have a couple things I need to do." He answered, making the girl frown.

"I know you don't want to come because you don't want to be in the way, but I'm offering, and I really want you to come with us." Celeste said, but he simply shook his head again.

"I know, Celeste. Believe me, I would go with you, but I really do have things to do. I have to pick up some wolfsbane potion, and I have to send out a couple letters." He replied, making the girl sigh.

"One of them is to my dad, isn't it?" She asked, causing him to frown.

"Celeste--" He began, but she cut him off.

"No, it's fine. He wants nothing to do with me, and I get that. To him I was a mistake, and what better way to get rid of a mistake, than to forget about it all together." She commented sarcastically, making Lupin and Oliver frown.

"Celeste, seriously, don't worry about him. He'll see what he's doing is wrong eventually, and if he doesn't, you'll always have me." Lupin said, making the girl smile sadly.

"You're better than he'll ever be." Celeste replied, hugging Lupin once more, trying to keep tears from falling.

Lupin and Oliver felt awful. They knew how much Celeste wanted to finally see her father, even if it was only to ask him why he abandoned her for Harry, or why he abandoned her at all. He had every chance to try and fix it, but he never did, and Celeste had been feeling worse and worse about it. To be blunt, she doubted she'd ever forgive him, but the apology was something she desired. She wanted answers, but Lupin and Oliver had a feeling Sirius would never give the girl the answers she craved...
