ALLEGRA'S FINAL CLASS OF THE WEEK WAS HERBOLOGY, ONE OF HER FAVOURITE SUBJECTS, AND ONE OF THE FEW CLASSES SHE DIDN'T SHARE WITH LEE AND THE WEASLEY TWINS. She and Alicia shuffled into greenhouse three along with many slightly nervous looking Gryffindor and Hufflepuff sixth years. Greenhouse three housed the school's most dangerous and temperamental plants, and a lot of the students were slightly anxious about what they might face in the upcoming lesson. Melody Arbuckle looked like she could faint at any moment, and Cedric Diggory all but had to carry her into the room. When Allegra noticed the two Hufflepuffs, she called them over to hers and Alicia's workbench, nudging the blushing girl when Cedric flashed his perfect smile at them.
"Hi Melody, how are you? I'm still sorry about the other day, it's been plaguing me like you wouldn't believe."
"It's okay! It was an accident," the pale witch smiled shyly, "Uh, have you met Cedric?"
"No, I don't believe I have," Allegra smiled up at the boy, extending her hand, "I'm Allegra Bennet, it's nice to meet you."
"Cedric Diggory," he grinned dazzlingly at her, shaking her hand, "I think we have some classes together but our paths never crossed."
What classes? Allegra was puzzled, sure that she would remember having him in any of her classes. "Really?"
"Yeah, Defence Against the Dark Arts and Charms." Noticing Allegra frowning, he laughed, "I don't blame you for not noticing, the Weasley twins tend to be the centre of attention."
"They do like attention," Allegra nodded, Alicia along with her.
"Hey Alicia," Cedric greeted the girl warmly, causing her ears to turn pink. "You just as pissed off about Quidditch as I am?"
"Oh god, not more Quidditch talk, please. You've well and truly chewed my ear off this past week, Cedric," Melody groaned in exasperation, but the two had already launched off into a rant that was not going to end anytime soon. She groaned again, flailing her arms dramatically before resting her forehead on the workbench. To the young witch's great relief, Professor Sprout waddled into the room, excitedly announcing that the class would be working with Venomous Tentacula: a spiky, venomous plant with mobile vines that try to grab living prey. "Oh, no."
☆☆☆
The four students wandered back to the castle together, exhausted from wrangling the Venomous Tentacula for an entire lesson.
"That was amazing!" Allegra exclaimed, grinning widely as she tried to tame her hair.
"That was horrible," said Melody. Cedric and Alicia nodded tiredly in agreement. "What are you on about?"
