Don't Leave Me (Cedric Diggory)

28. Weird

Narrator:

-Ready, Fred?

-Born ready, George.

The twins analysed the panorama. Cora was eating with Jeremy, who also was part of the plan besides Lee.

And then we had Cedric, who, fortunately, wasn't with his girlfriend.

Cora:

-Why are you acting so weird? - I asked, reffering to Fred and George.

-Uh, they aren't. Why would they? They're the Weasley twins. What kind of question is that? - Jeremy was right. It was Fred and George Weasley we were tallking about.

I saw Cedric behind them. I haven't had the chance to tallk to him since what happened in the train.

-Uhh, where are you going?

-With Cedric. Any problem with that? - I looked back at Jeremy, who was nervous. And I would say a lot.

Since he didn't respond, I turned around to head where Cedric and his friend were.

However, it wasn't possible because Fred and George grabbed my hands and dragged me out of the Great Hall.
-What's your deal today, guys?

-We got class. - They spoke on unison, to which I frowned. Since when did they care about class?

Hagrid was the new professor for Care of Magical Creatures. It wasn't a big deal for me. I was just taking some notes when I heard Angelina's group.

-Have you seen the new couple? - What did she mean?

I couldn't hear more becaise George started running, being chased by a Hippogriff.

After finishing the lesson, the four friends went with Madame Pompfrey, who would give George something for the pain. He tripped over a rock and scraped his knee.

What a coincidence that Cedric entered with his friend, who had fallen down the stairs.

Jeremy was the first in noticing, who advertised the twins immediately.

-OH, IT HURTS! CORA, HELP ME! - George cried dramatically.

Cora was now truly worried for her friend.
-Okay, I'll go get Madame Pompfrey. - And she left, not noticing Diggory was there, too.

-Hey, Cora! Could you help me with Potions homework... - Lee began, but after seeing Cedric enter the library, he changed his mind. - Outside? There's more... nature.

Cora found it odd, but accepted anyway. Her friends were all certainly acting strange.

Cedric was making his way to the Quidditch pitch for training. Their turn was after the Ravenclaw team, and wanted to talk to his friend.

When the eagles concluded their training, Jeremy knew it was Cedric's turn now.

-Erm, you have to help me with Jason. Look, he's right there. - He pushed her toward the guy.

-Oh, I'm so sorry... I, umm... - Cora began.

She felt so embarrassed that she didn't realise Cedric was calling her.

-Diggory, it's training time. - One of his teammates told him.

[...]

-This is more tiring than I thought. - Lee admitted.
