"Yeah, sure. Cedric Diggory, the charmer of the school, has spoken. All hail thy faithful word! Anon, anon." I started joking in my Shakespearean talk.
"Ay. Hither from the dark, life's let out far too much. Caution upon thee, heaven's stars speak of prophecy." Yeah, okay. Cedric is way better at this than me.
Oh, well. I started it, might as well end it.
"Hmm... Take away thy sin. Wherefore art thither be? Soulless and lonely, possibly, hopefully not as thee star crossed pair of lovers. Mustn't be real? For those of truth are those who be in marry." Nah, I'm still the best.
"Ay?" He whispered.
I smiled a small smile, "Ay."
He had a lopsided grin as we walked over to a table.
"So, what are you planning on hav--" Cedric was cut off by a blinding green light that went through the now broken window.

Astrea's POV
I gasped.
The windows caved in from the power of the green lights and soon, glass had flown everywhere.
"What do we do?!" I shouted over to Adam, who seemed closest to me.
"Defend." Was all he said as he ran for the closest Deatheater.
I turned to Cedric.
He gave me a warning look.
I sighed, "I'm so sorry you've got to witness this. Stay safe."
I didn't give him a chance to answer as I ran for it, straight to the nearest wizard, knocking him out with wandless magic, as I'd left mine in the common room.
I saw a Deatheater in front of Neville and I knew he'd been too late if he waited more.
"AVADA KEDAVR-" I ran as fast as I could and did the first spell that came to my mind, both my hands held out in front of me.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" I shouted and the green light coming out of the Deatheater's wand was attacked ferociously by my Patronus.
A white dragon with butterfly-like wings that had every color of the rainbow in them.
She opened her mouth with a loud, 'Roar' and flames ate the unforgivable curse.
After she finished, she looked at me and bowed slightly. I bowed back and smiled in gratitude, "Please help wherever needed. We mustn't loose innocent people tonight."
I helped Neville off the ground, were he sat frozen.
"Are you alrigh--" I was cut off as his arms went fast around me and he squeezed me in a hug.
"Thank you so much, Astrea. That truly meant the world to me." He whispered against my neck, in a steady volume, his voice not cracking or stuttering at any point.
I smiled whole-heartedly, "Quite alright, Neville."
"It is what friends are meant to do for each other, right?" I added, looking at him with a softened gaze.
I knew exactly what he meant.
We both lost our parents. Sure, he'd actually have them alive, breathing and he lived with his grandmother, but it might as well be the same.
His parents had suffered the Cruciatus Curse from Bellatrix LeStrange. They'd taken too much of it and were barely alive when saved.
They now live in a vegetable state forever in St. Mungo's Wizarding Hospital.
