Vesper Potter's Family Reunion

Quidditch Cup

Cedric put an arm around Vespers shoulder crushing her to him, as they walked from breakfast. Vesper signed and rested her head on his shoulder.

"You look tired, love." He mumbled to her "did you party all night?" he smirked, but Vesper just shook her head and wrap her arms around his chest.

"I don't think any one slept well last night, didn't you hear? Sirius Black got into the Gryffindor boys dorms last night, with a huge knife." He wrapped his arms tightly around her and kissed the top of her head.

They carried on and nothing exciting happened except some of the Slytherin getting rainbow coloured hair for being cheeky.

Vesper had been band from Hogsmeade visits for her own safety, grumpy and put out she tells the Twins that if they bring her something back she would help them with their potions essay. Surprisingly potions was something that came naturally to her, Vesper had brushed it off as she enjoyed cooking and it was basically the same thing. In Her first year she was one of the first few that managed to complete a potion completely without it blowing up, Snape was reluctantly impressed with her, remembering her mother and hoping she was more like her then her father.

She spent her time completing her own potions essay and finishing off her herbiology homework, before going to see Professor Lupin, they talked until Snape summoned him to take a look at something.

When the golden trio appeared through the Gryffindor common room looking upset, they saw that George was sat with his back against the overstuffed, worn red sofa, rubbing Vesper's lower back as she sat between his long legs, holding up an old potions book so they both could see. She was explaining something in low inmates  tones as the trio crowded around a table in time to see Fred float in with a smug look on his face. He laid on on the floor beside his twin, flopped his head down so it was in Vesper's lap. The pair peered over the book to look down at him.

"How was the date?" They both said, Fred frowned at them before smiling smugly. The common room door open the let inside Angeline Johnson. She paused to looked that the three, blushed and scurried to the girls dormitories.

"good I see," George chuckled at Angeline retreating back, his twin nodded, putting his hands behind his head and closing his eyes. They elapse into a relaxed silence until they heard Hermione sniffing and they all turned to her.

"What's the matter, Hermione?" Fred raised himself from Vesper to look at Hermione clearly. "Do you want us to beat up Ron? Would that make you feel better?" Hermione tried not to smile at the idea as Ron exclaimed loudly that it wasn't him.

"Buckbeak has been sentenced to death."

"Buckbeak? The hippogriff that scratched Malfoy? That sounds unreasonably harsh" Vesper murmured remembering the third years gleaming at the information months ago. Hermione nodded,

"His father pushed for it." Shortly after Hermione apologised to Ron for what Crookshanks did to Scabbers. Ron promises Hermione that he and Harry will work on Buckbeak's final appeal with her. Apparently, all is patched up between them. The platinum trio (self dubbed) went back to their homework.

Easter Holidays start, but few of Vespers classmates are relaxed. The fifth-years have more homework than ever, and many look like they might break under the load.

The Gryffindor Quidditch team practice hard between classes and homework. They are playing Slytherin, who are leading by 200 points, the Saturday after Easter break. Gryffindor House became obsessed with the match, it being the first time they have been in the running for the Cup since Ron's brother Charlie was Seeker.
For Harry, it is a personal conflict between himself and Malfoy, while Oliver sees it as his last chance to win the Quidditch cup.
Tensions are also high in the Slytherin camp. Slytherins try to trip Harry in the hallways and Crabbe and Goyle constantly appear wherever he is, slouching away disappointed when they find him safely amidst chattering Gryffindors.
