Chasing Love

Chapter Eleven - Study-date and 150 points

"150 points lost!" Fred exclaimed.

"I thought we were bad but never have we lost 150 points in one go." George continued.

"We were winning as well! And now we're last." Eliza said angrily. "How could they be so foolish!"

The twins agreed with her. "How are we going to get back from that?"

George looked down the table at where Harry was sat with Hermione and Ron. "Stupid seeker."

Eliza stood up from the table. "I'm going to go to the library to study. Have you guys even tried to?"

"It's ages until the exams." The twins pointed out.

"It's only a couple of weeks away. You two need to revise beforehand if you want to pass."

"We'll be fine Za."

"Don't worry about us Elz."

"I can't help but worry." She let out a sigh. "You two need to pass these tests!"

Fetching her books from her dormitory, Eliza bumped into Maisie. "Morning."

"Morning, how are you so awake?"

"Because I get enough sleep at night. Where were you last night?" Eliza asked her.

"I was talking to Percy. Where are you going now?"

Eliza smirked. "You were talking to Percy! I'm getting my books to go to the library."

Maisie raised her eyebrows. "Another study-date? How long have you two been together now? It seems like years."

"We've only been together for three weeks!" Eliza told her. "What's going on with Percy then?"

"Nothing. We were just talking. It's always just talking."

"It's Percy, he's not used to girls."

"I don't think he likes me Eliza!" Maisie looked down. "I don't think he'll ever like me."

"Don't lose hope Mais, and if he doesn't then just remember there is someone who does like you."

Maisie smiled. "Thanks El, now go and study!"

Eliza laughed and made her way to the library. When she arrived Cedric was already there, sat in the corner writing. "How long have you been here for?" She asked him as she sat down next to him.

He looked up and smiled. "Not that long."

"I would have been earlier but I bumped into Maisie."

"How is she?"

"Tired, fed up, annoyed." Eliza said to him as she got her books out.

"Is it about that boy she likes?"

She nodded. "Yeah. He confuses her."

"If you told me who he is I could have a word with him." Cedric said.

"I can't, she would kill me if I told anyone, it was bad enough when the twins found out."

"Did you tell them?" He asked smiling.

"Not really, I just sort of hinted at it. She was there when they guessed."

Cedric laughed. "She's really quiet."

"Oh but she isn't. She's very confident when there's only Gryffindor's around. She's threatened the twins a million times too."

"Who hasn't." Cedric joked.

"Even the teachers have."

The two started to study and every so often would catch each other's eye and smile. "I don't even understand this!" Cedric groaned as he threw his book onto to the table.
