"You didn't write me one letter," Cedric spoke with a mockful tone. He then crossed his arms over his chest and pouted his lips like a four year old.

They were back on the train ready to return to Hogwarts.

"You told me not to so I wouldn't be distracted on my trip," she returned raising her eyebrow mocking his attitude.

Cedric rolled his eyes playfully and sat down, taking out a Chocolate Frog from his pocket. "So how was the trip anyway? See any cool stuff?"

Samantha sat down next to him and sighed, thinking about annoying Fred and George were. "We saw some amazing works of history,"

She then divulged into the mummies and when the twins tried to lock her in a tomb. Her arm healed the next day thanks to Mr. Weasley's great healing skills. It needed the night to eliminate the soreness but one more spell healed it instantly.

Madam Pomfrey would be proud.

They continued to talk about their breaks as the train continued its journey to Hogwarts through the light flurries of snow.

Cedric told her about his parents and how she was very excited to meet them. She heard a lot of stories about his father, Amos, who was a close friend of Mr. Weasley.

She knew they lived a town over so ideas of visiting him over holiday started to emerge. A smile started to form on her face and her feelings started to grow for Cedric. It felt very natural with him and they always had topics to discuss whether it be Quidditch, homework, or Cedric telling her that her upcoming prank ideas with the twins weren't such great ideas regarding detentions.

The Hogwarts Express pulled into Hogsmeade Station which couldn't really be seen by the growing snow. It didn't help that it was also very windy outside so that brought down the wind chill.

Samantha put on her deep purple Weasley sweater and Cedric put on the scarf Samantha gave him a few weeks ago. It was Gryffindor colors but he didn't care. His girlfriend gave it to him and that's all that mattered.

The doors opened and the two stepped outside and bid each other goodbye as Cedric met up with Luke who had an annoying grin plastered on his face and Nate and Dan who were laughing behind him. He rolled his eyes at his dumb friends and they started pointing at his scarf.

"You are not a lion, mate,"

Three guesses who said that.

"You're going to do great!" Samantha said encouragingly to Cedric that Saturday.

The whole Great Hall was shocked when she sat down at the Hufflepuff table. Even though they were dating, it was quite uncommon for students to sit at another house's table.

Hufflepuff was playing the first game of the new term against Ravenclaw. Then a few weeks later, they were to face Gryffindor. These next two games were very important to the ranks because they would decide who would have a seat in the finals.

Ravenclaw was then set to play Slytherin but their team was doomed to fail since their captain, Marcus Flint, was no longer at the school.
