Stun me » Cedric Diggory

Chapter 32

Clothes were arranged in a brown leathered trunk. The bed was made. The room was neat and clean, and a brown haired girl was ready to go return to Hogwarts.

The brunette was fixing her scarf to cover her not-so-bluish-anymore bruise on her neck. It still bothers her to see her neck, even if there's only a faint fade of blue on her neck. She felt a pair of eyes watching her for a little while when she finally looked at him.

"Why are you staring? It's a little creepy considering you've been watching me for quite awhile" she told the man who was leaning on the door frame of her room, his arms crossed. "So admiring my girlfriend is creepy?"

Then he walked towards her, his hands inside his pockets. When he was in front of her, he lifted his hand and cupped Camilla's cheek and caressed it with his thumb.

Camilla loved his touch on her cheek which made her close her eyes. "You are gonna return to Hogwarts while i'm gonna return to the pitch. We'll keep in touch through letters again, okay?" He said softly as he watched the most beautiful girl in front of him.

Camilla nodded and hugged him. Her face on his chest, breathing in his wonderful scent. Cedric wrapped his arms on her waist and pulled her closer, his face on the crook of Camilla's neck. 

"Ced" she said, "hmm?" He hummed.

Cedric looked up and saw Camilla's watery eyes and was alarmed. "Did i do something wrong love? I'm so sorry if i did"

"No. You didn't do anything wrong. It's just" Camilla sat up and played with her fingers. Cedric placed a strand of her hair behind her ear and grabbed her chin and tilted it up to look at him in the eye.

"Hey. Look at me" Camilla looked at him. "Don't be scared. I'm here for you"

Tears started to roll down Camilla's cheek and her lips quivering. "I-i feel"

Cedric brought his other hand up and cupped both both of her cheeks and wiped it away with his thumb. "You feel what?"

"Afraid"

Cedric was confused. "What do you mean by that"

"That death eater. He called me by my sister's name. Does he have something to do with my sisters death?! What if he hunts me down?"

Camilla was crying hard which Cedric brought her into his embrace, her head on his chest, not minding the tear stains on his shirt as he rubbed Camilla's back.

Camilla tugged into his shirt and cried even harder.

"Shh. It's okay. He's not gonna find you anymore. You're gonna be safe at Hogwarts. A place where you call your second home. You're gonna be alright love"

He kissed her head repeatedly and rested his head on hers. "I'm always here to protect you and no one will lay a finger on you."

Camilla hugged him. "I love you Camilla"

"I love you too Cedric" she replied back and she rested her forehead against his.

"We should be going. You're gonna be late." Camilla's eyes widened and immediately stood up and closed her trunk. The two hurried outside and went to King Cross Station.

"Camilla Delacour Devonshire. Where the hell have you been?! No wait, how the hell did you got caught on an accident?!"

Maven suddenly yelled at her like a mother. He hugged her then pulled away. "It's a long story"

"Well. I'm glad you're now okay."

"Camilla!" She heard familiar voices and saw three girls running towards her.

She then was knocked off onto the ground by Samantha and Aneth. "We missed you!"

"You have a lot of catching up to do Cams!"

"What happened to you?!"

She suddenly felt kind of overwhelmed and yelled, "stop! God! You two are giving me a headache"

The three stood up and helped Camilla get off of her bum. "Sorry about that."

They hugged her properly this time and pulled away. "We missed you!"

Camilla smiled. "I missed you too girls"

Then she noticed the absence of Cho. "Where's Cho?"

"Camilla!"

Then she saw Cho running towards them and stopped in front to catch her breath. "you need to go to the hospital wing quickly." And with that, Camilla quickly ran towards the hospital wing.

As she was about to enter, she was bumped by Lavender Brown and fall on her bum. "Where is he? Where's my Won-Won!
Has he been asking for me?"

Harry saw Camilla on the floor and helped her up. "Are you alright Camilla?"

"Yeah. If that little bitch would watch where she was going" she says, annoyed. "Thanks by the way" she thanked Harry and watch the scene unfold.

"What's she doing here?"

"I might ask you the same" Hermione retorted. Camilla leaned on Harry's side and whispered, "what am i missing here?"

"I happen to be his girlfriend."

"I happen to be his... friend"

"Yikes" she mumbled then Harry elbowed her. "Don't make me laugh. You haven't
spoken in weeks. I suppose you want to make up with him now that he's suddenly all interesting."

"He's been poisoned, you daft dimbo! And for the record, I've always found him interesting."

"Fight for him Hermione" Camilla mumbled with a chuckle which made Harry roll his eyes. Hermione frowns, a bit embarrassed. Ron snorts, stirring.

"Ha! See? He senses my presence. I'm here, Won-Won. I'm here --"

"Oh please" Camilla says, but louder this time which made Lavender, Ginny, Hermione, Harry, and the professors look at her before turning their attention back to Ron.

"Er... My... Nee... Er! My! Nee!"

Ron, in a haze, reaches out blindly. Blushing, Hermione takes his hand. Instantly, he falls unconscious again. Lavender, vibrating with rage, stalks out. Dumbledore beams.

Camilla smiled happily and waved goodbye at her. "Ah, to be young and feel love's
keen sting. Come, everyone, I think Mr. Weasley is well tended."

Then Dumbledore turned his attention turned to Camilla. "Welcome back my dear. Why don't we chat for a little bit at my office?"

"Of course sir" and with that, the two went to Dumbledore's office.
