A month had passed by and after the first week Cedric had stopped trying to talk to me. I didn't wanna talk to him either but it meant something that he was trying to. He knocked at my door a few times before Lilian shooed him away, not even wanting to see him as much as I did. He tried catching me in the halls a few times, but after getting death stares from Fred he stopped that too. I wanted to talk to him now that it had been a month. I felt guilty that I never let him explain. But Lilian kept talking me out of it whenever I would go to ask him.
One day Cedric was following me on the bridge, I ran into Hermione and Harry and whispered to Hermione when I passed her,
"Cover me!"
Then apparently he stopped and talked to Harry. Ignoring Cedric became easier and easier as he took different directions to avoid me completely. Harry and I were sitting together in the Library, with Hermione going through tons of books. Apparently Cedric had told Harry the secret on opening the egg, and what it was inside.
"Come and seek us where our voices sound. We cannot sing above the ground. An hour long you'll have to look, to recover what we took." Harry says.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" I said, turning around in my chair, leaning my arms on the back of it.
"I don't know, but the egg opened under the water in the Prefect bathroom." Harry says.
"That's random." I reply.
"How'd he figure it out even, just went to take a bath and took along the egg?" Hermione asked.
"No clue." Harry replied, "Win would know, she's dating him!"
"Dated!" I snapped back.
"Wait huh, since when?" Harry asked.
"Since he kissed Cho at the ball!" Hermione snapped, "Jeez Harry keep up! Now we gotta focus!"
Hermione walked over to another shelf to look for books, while Harry turned to look at me.
"I'm sorry Winnie."
"Eh, it happened a month ago, not really phased by it anymore." I reply.
"You two always looked so happy, I never would've found Cedric as the person to cheat."
"Well it's whatever, it's not really a big deal anymore. Sure it hurt in the beginning but I'm not that upset now."
"But it is a big deal!" Harry said.
"But wasn't Cho your date?"
"Yeah but, we weren't dating or anything, it didn't hurt as much as yours from what I can imagine."
"Yeah I guess you have a point."
"Also Cedric was always sorta into her."
I rolled my eyes as Hermione came running back.
"Harry, tell me again!"
"Come seek us where our voices sound." Harry replied.
"The Black Lake, that's obvious!" Hermione replied.
"Is it?" I asked.
Hermione rolled her eyes, "An hour long you'll have to look" Harry continued.
"Again, obvious, though I must admit potentially problematic..."
"Potentially problematic? When was the last time you held your breath underwater for an hour Hermione?"
"The bubblehead charm?" I added, "But idk if you could cast that, it's a pretty advanced spell, I used it last summer to prank my uncle."
