Cedric Diggory's Little Sister

Chapter 13

*****Rosalyn's POV*****

***1 and a half months later***

I laugh as Cedric jumps along the path to Hogsmead with me gripping onto his back. "Slow down Ced!" I giggle. "Nope! We have presents to buy for Mom, Dad, Uncle Padfoot, Zoe, Ava and Henry! We've already got everything for everyone else!" Joe cheers running along beside us. I squeal and we keep going.

I pick up a few blankets and show them to my brothers. "Purple and Blue for Zoe, Orange and Red for Ava, Green and Yellow for Henry." I say. Cedric nods and puts them in the basket. I collect a few toys and we head off to pay.

I wrap the final present and Nisbet perches beside me. I pass him the parcel to go to Uncle Padfoot and turn to Killian. I strap the presents for our family together with a letter and pass them to our family Owl. "Take this to Mom and Dad, Killian. Nisbet take that to Uncle Padfoot at you-know-where." I say. They hoot and take off.

I run toward Cedric and Joey and jump on them. "IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!" I yell at the top of my lungs. Everyone turns and stares at me like I grew another head. "HI THERE!" I laugh, waving at them. They turn away and shake their head. "What gits. You're meant to reply." I pout, walking toward the Hufflepuff table. They all look up again and glare at me. "I speak the truth. It's called being polite." I state, sticking my tongue out at them. "Hi Rosalyn." They call. I smile and wave at them. "That's better. Much much much better." I say. Cedric laughs and pushes me into my seat.

I ride the chunk of earth toward the ship while Cedric walks beside me. "Rosalyn!" A voice calls. I close my eyes and feel them running toward me. I sigh and lift them up, bringing them quickly over to me. I open my eyes to see Harry dangling by his feet in front of me. "Harry." I state. "I was wondering if I talk to you for a minute." He gasps. I sigh and turn to Cedric. "Meet me outside the boat." I say. He nods and runs toward a girl by the ship. I turn back to Harry and raise an eyebrow at him. "I'm listening. Don't make me regret this." I say. "I was wondering if I could make it up for the whole Cho incident. Maybe by taking you to the Yule Ball?" He says. My eyes widen in shock and I drop him to the ground. I gasp and quickly pick him up again. "I'd love to Harry. But you better not ruin this." I state. He nods and I place him down. He steps forward and wraps me in a hug. I cautiously hug back and he soothingly rubs my back. I relax and hold him closer. "ROSA! COME ON!" I hear Cedric call from my the ship. "I'll see you tomorrow Harry." I smile as he hops of my earth ride. "Bye Rosa." Harry smiles lightly. I wave and quickly take off down toward the boat. As I reach it, I jump off my ride and begin heading inside. I turn and wave at Harry. He waves back and I head inside.

I squeal as Cedric throws me over his shoulder and runs up to the school. "Put me down!" I laugh. He shakes his head and I spot Hermione walking over. "Mione! Help me?" I squeal, reaching my arms out to her. She shakes her head and I pout at her.

I'm placed in my seat and I see Harry walking over with Mione. They sit down quickly and we begin to eat. "I heard some interesting news about your Mione." I giggle, cutting up my pancakes. "And what would that be, Rosa?" She asks. "You and Krum were talking in the library?" I suggest in a tired tone. Her eyes widen in horror. "Is this the thing he told us about last night?" Cedric asks quickly. I nod and he grins at Mione. "Older men just get the younger girls attention. Am I right?" Cedric laughs. "What are you talking about?" Harry asks. "Krum asked Mione to be his date to the Yule Ball and she said yes!" I say. Harry's eyes widen in shock as Mione hides her face from view. "Suprise." Cedric laughs. "But did you ask Athena to go with you?" I ask. He blushes and nods. "She gladly accepted." He says. "What about you Rosa? Who are you going with?" Mione asks. I blush and turn to Harry. "I asked her last night." He explains. "And I said yes. But this is his last chance to make things better. It may end in a relationship, but maybe not." I add quickly. His eyes widen in shock and I smile at him. "No pressure." I say quickly with a smirk. "GO AWAY!" I hear a voice cry out. I look up to see Lydia being held by Malfoy. I quickly get out of my seat and run over to my friend. "Let go of my friend, Malfoy!" I snap. He glares at me and I pull Lydia behind me. I lift up my leg and kick him in the Baby maker. "Have a nice day." I smile fakely. I quickly lead Lydia away and over to our seats.

I laugh as Harry drags me into the Transfiguration classroom. I gasp as I see all of Gryffindor sitting in the room. "Go sit beside Mione." He whispers as everyone turns to look at us. I nod quickly and run over to my friend.

I watch as Harry walks over and reaches a hand to me. I quickly take my jacket off and take his hand. He pulls me into the centre of the room and we begin the simple dance. As I take a step, I step on his foot. "I hope you don't plan on making me dance the whole ball. I'll dance a few times if I can get the foot work correct." I laugh. "I wasn't going to spend a lot of time dancing either." Harry laughs. I squeal in shock as he lifts me up and spins me around. I burst out laughing and he pulls a face at me.
