The Muse {An HP FF}

Chapter 16

Disclaimer: None of the Harry Potter characters in this story and most settings belong to me; this all belongs to the wonderful talented J.K. Rowling. Well except Armadi, she's a figment of my imagination.

"Concentrate Ced, think clearly of what you want the chair to turn into," I encouraged as Cedric attempted to transfigure his object.

"I'm trying!" He grunted as he attempted to keep his wand steady.

"Ready?" He nodded. "Go for it!

He waved his wand swiftly then drew back.

"Oh my god you did it!" I yelled excitedly as the chair shrunk and took figure of a calico cat.

He beamed broadly as he hugged me. "I'm sure to pass the midterms this year!"

"You will Cedric, you're smart, just need practice," I smiled.

"Yeah well, it's thanks to you too. I wouldn't know anything if you didn't help me understand." He took something out of his pocket. "Here." He showed me a pretty little silver heart necklace. He walked over and swept my hair aside, clasping it onto my neck.

"It's the least I can do to thank you for your help."

"It's beautiful," I murmured twisting the charm in my fingers.

"And look," he picked the charm from my hands and opened it. "It's a locket too, that way you can put pictures of anyone you want in it."

"Thank you," I went over and hugged him. "I already have a certain boy in mind."

"You both are very very selfish!" I heard a voice as I entered the common room."What do you think Armadi would say if she found out?"

"She'd bloody kill us," A familiar voice said. "But it's important we go back and see what's under that trapdoor!"

"I should have never told you Harry!"

"Hermione, don't you realize this could involve that package? It must be valuable if a damn killer 3 headed dog is guarding it!" Ron...?

"What's going on?" I walked in on a shocked Harry, Hermione and Ron.

"B-ba...n-nothing!" Ron sputtered.

"Why would I kill you? What three headed dog? What are you guys talking about?"

"Nothing!"

I glared knives at Ron. He cowered.

"What. Is. Going. On. Harry?" I growled.

He looked away.

"Hermione, you'll tell me right?"

"I-I...." Her voice faltered.

"Hey Armadi, we're going---woah, who bit you in the bum?" Fred, George and Lee stood there.

I whipped around and stared them down angrily. George put his hands up in surrender and walked away.

"Harry Potter, you don't want me to force it out of you," I warned. He gulped and stepped back. "HARRY!"

"Okay! Ron and I went to wizard duel Malfoy but it was a fluke to get us caught by Filch and Hermione had followed to yell at us so we ran and tried to hide on the 3rd floor but the door was locked so Hermione opened it and it turns out a giant 3 headed dog was behind that locked door and we ran out but Hermione saw a trapdoor now Ron and I are going back to see whats under it." He said this all in less than a minute then hid behind Ron. I stood there, completely mindblown.
