BADGERS ○ CEDRIC DIGGORY

2;

A/N: This outfit is for
the train station before
they arrive at hogwarts.
Okay bye now honeys.

     Once we finally arrived at the station, I grabbed my trunk and pulled it onto a trolley. I ran straight through the barrier. I slowed down once I got through and stood on my tiptoes and strained to look for my friends. I pulled my things off of the trolley and hauled them into the compartment we usually sat in. I turned around and headed back out to the station. I walked around looking for anyone I knew.
"Lee! Have you seen Fred and George?" I asked when I spotted Fred and George's best friend, Lee Jordan.
"'Bout 10 minutes ago I saw the Hudsons over... um... there," he pointed down toward the mob of people that would be impossible to get through. "But the Weasleys... Afraid not, beautiful." I playfully rolled my eyes. Lee was always flirting. With everyone.
"Thanks anyways, good to see you, Lee." I shouted over my shoulder, wandering off in the direction he pointed to.
     After a few minutes of wandering around, I felt a familiar hand grab my hand. I felt the familiar sensation of being twirled around. I heard a familiar laugh, shortly followed by familiar lips being pressed onto mine.
"Freddie!" I screeched, hugging him. We both laughed.
"Why don't I get a hug?" I heard George ask in a mock-disappointed tone. I stepped towards him and hugged him too. Although slightly less love-filled than Fred's hug, it was still one of the tightest hugs I'd ever received.
     "There. Is that good enough?" I joked. "Let's get on the train." We all trailed to the train in a line. I was in the back. We joked as we walked back to the compartment.
     "Ah!" I screeched as someone jumped on my back and we both fell. Fred and George turned to look at me when I screamed. I laughed as I turned my head to see Vivienne Hudson. I got up and helped her up.
     "Thank god! I wasn't sure if it was you, but I still jumped anyways." She said as we hugged.  Fred and George were laughing now too.
     Only a moment later, we arrived at the compartment. Cedric was already there, reading.
    "Ced!" I said, jumping into a hug as he stood up.
     "Hi Ess." He said, smiling. His smile didn't reach his eyes. I decided not to overthink it. I grabbed Fred's wrist and dragged him.
"C'mon. We'll sit on Cedric's side so George and Viv can have their alone time." I winked at Fred as we sat down, me in between Fred and Cedric, as usual. Vivienne gave me a look. I responded with a grin.

~time skip~

     We got off of the carriages and flowed into the great hall. I gave Fred one last hug before we parted to go to our separate tables. We sat down, and now I saw Cedric really smile.
     "How was everyone's summer?" He asked. "I mean, before all of the crazy Quidditch cup stuff." He added quickly.
     "Did you guys go? Why didn't you invite me!" Vivienne asked.
     "You know my parents would question me to the ends of the earth if I invited a girl, and they would never let me." Cedric laughed.
     "And you know my parents, they would never let me invite anyone anyways. My parents only agreed to let me go when Mr. Weasley offered to get me a ticket." I said, solemnly.
      "Oh..." Vivienne said, just as solemnly.
      "Enough about me!" I quickly said. "How was your summer in Paris? Did you meet any cute boys?" Cedric laughed at this.
     "Of course, idiot! It's Paris!" She smacked my arm.
     "Well Hufflebuds, can't wait to hear all about your summers, but looks like we've got something to watch now." Cedric stated, nodding towards the first years that were flooding into the hall. I groaned. Yay? Nope. Not yay.
And so I waited. Finally, McGonagall called out, "Williams, Eileen." She sat there on the stool for only about ten seconds.
"SLYTHERIN!" The hat called out. She smirked at me and gave me a 'rude hand gesture' as she walked over to the Slytherin table. I stared at her with a rude glare as she sat next to Draco Malfoy.
"Sorry Ess..." Cedric whispered. I laughed.
"Sorry? For what? I don't want her corrupting our house." He laughed at my response but turned serious again quickly.
"Estelle... you can't say that, she's your sister." He said.
"And you would know what exactly about siblings?" I retorted. "Sorry... I guess I just —,"
"Don't worry about it, it's all good." He said.

A/N: I'm going to have to
end this chapter right here.
Sorry, but my phone is
glitching and the typing
is getting all weird so I
guess you'll have to wait
for another day to read more.
I'm so sorry, the next chapter
will have a bit more
Cedstelle (?) Estric (?)
Nope I hate both ship names.
If you are confused, Estelle is
dating Fred Weasley at the
moment but don't worry,
it is a Cedric x OC story.
Thanks for reading, bye honeys.
