A/n before we start: Cassandra's nickname for Audrey is fattie and Audrey's for Cassandra is slag. It's just a joke they have. Happy reading loves xx
Cassandra
Here I was, sat back on the train. On my way to Hogwarts. In my O.W.Ls I had gotten 5 Outstandings, 3 Exceeding Expectations and 1 acceptable (in history of magic). I still didn't know what i wanted to do with my life. Kind of a problem being in 6th year. I hadn't had a boyfriend in ages. I was so desperate I would date a girl. And I'm straight. Me and Audrey were having a casual conversation about how clueless and horrible men are. Then my annoying little brother, Cedric Diggory, came in.
"What the fuck do you want Cedric?" I scowled
"Chill out Cass, just saying Harry Potter is apparently on the train. No need to be so snappy." He scowled back
"Why the fuck would I care. I met him when he was a baby, he's not that important. Now politely PISS OFF!" I snapped back
"Aw is poor ickle Cassandra on her period?" He teased
That was it. I grabbed him by the ear and pulled him into a headlock and started messing up his hair.
"Is poor ickle Cedric a big fat baby, pain in the ass and cissy?" I mocked
He just nodded. I pulled him into a hug, apologised and kissed him on the top of the head.
"Flitwick said you can come join me in bed when you get nightmares. I love you." I muttered, rubbing his back,
He just nodded into me and looked up at me with a broken expression. It was coming up to mums death day anniversary that I had briefly forgotten. With his new teenage hormones he found it especially difficult. He had started having nightmares about her death. And mine. And Dad's. And anyone we cared about. I talked to Flitwick and he said he was welcome in Ravenclaw tower whenever. I had spoken to Professor Sprout as well and she said I could go to him whenever.
Even with all that he shouldn't have brought up my period. Which as a matter of fact I was on and had no idea how I was gonna cheer in the new white uniform.
"You wanna stay with me for a bit honey?" I asked him quietly, stroking his hair
He just nodded again. I pulled him down to sit next to me and opposite Audrey.
There was an awkward conversation before Audrey and I started talking again. I hugged Cedric to my side.
"We should probably all go get changed. We'll be at Hogwarts soon. Ced do you wanna go to the bathroom and we'll stay in here?" I asked
"Yeah that's fine by me. I'm sorry for being a prick earlier." He responded
"It's fine. And I'm sorry for being a bitch. Now shoo before I start crying cos you're being so nice." I told him.
He smiled gingerly as he walked out. I pulled the blinds and locked the door.
"Is he alright? I've never seen him so quiet?" Audrey asked, concerned.
"It's mom's death date coming up soon and he's been having nightmares and I'm so worried about him." I told her.
She just nodded and we got changed in comfortable silence, occasionally making jokes about how pretty the other was or how nice her body is.
We finished changing and opened the curtains and unlocked the door, just as Cedric got back.
I zoned out and completely missed someone calling my name. I was lost in thought about how bad I felt for Cedric, how I wanted to take all his pain away, how he was traumatised, how I wanted to take his nightmares away. But it wouldn't happen. I could never take his pain away. And that broke me.
I was jolted back into reality as I felt someone's hand dry my eyes. I swatted their hand away before I realised it was Cedric's.
"Cass are you alright? You're crying." He said, care evident in his voice.
"I'm fine sweetheart, promise. I'm just worried about you and dad and lessons and NEWTs and did I mention you and I want to be able to take your nightmares away and sorry for ranting." I finished
He just smiled and wrapped his arms round my middle. The train suddenly stopped as we pulled into Hogsmeade station.
"You ready for 3rd year Ced?" I asked, kissing the top of his head.
"Yeah I am Cassie." He replied
"You ready for 6th year fattie?" I asked looking at my best friend's worried expression
"Yeah I am, how about you, slag?" She asked
"Yeah I guess. Let's go. And Ced, you're always welcome in our dorm."
He just nodded as we stepped out of our carriage and into the platform. I wasn't looking where I was going and bumped into someone, who obviously wasn't looking either.
"Oh my god I'm so so sorry, here let me help." I said, offering my hand to the person on the floor. "Sorry, I'm Cassandra Diggory."
"Honestly it's fine." The boy said, accepting my help up. "Percy, Percy Weasley."
We shook hands and I apologised again before running off to join Audrey.
Percy
I wasn't looking where I was going, just admiring the scenery, before I was knocked over by something. Or someone. She started apologising profusely and we introduced ourselves as she helped me off the floor. As she walked away I couldn't help but stare. She was so pretty. My gaze slipped down and I blushed as soon as I had realised.
"Percy what in earth are you staring at?" My best friend, Oliver Wood asked
"Nothing..." I mumbled
"You sure it wasn't Cassandra Diggory?" He teased
"What? No! What on earth would give you that idea?!?!" I said way too quickly before blushing more.
Oliver continued to tease me more and more as we walked to the carriages, my blush becoming increasingly apparent. I'm sure people from space could see how red my face was.
I have to admit Cassandra Diggory is beautiful. Her eyes,her nose, her lips, her figure. God she looked so good in her cheer uniform.
What! Pull yourself together Percy! You cannot and do not have a crush on Cassandra Diggory. We've only met once and she obviously doesn't know who I am. And if she does she thinks I'm a right nerd.
That's enough thoughts about Diggory, I thought as me and Oliver sat in
Cassandra
As I walked back to Audrey I could feel someone watching me. But I didn't bother looking back as I caught up to Auds. We started talking and I forgot all about my embarrassing encounter with Percy Weasley. Hang on. It was Percy Weasley I knocked into. I am definitely not sorry anymore. That stuck up, pretentious, prefect, know-it-all twat was not going anywhere near me again. Ever. I hope
