Hermione Granger woke up with a start. She had no recollection of what she was dreaming, but it had left her anxious and confused. She pushed away the hands of Cedric Diggory, her boyfriend, who was shaking her awake, and wiped the sweat off of her forehead.
"Mia, are you alright?" Cedric asked.
"Yep, yep, I'm fine," Hermione lied as she rubbed her eyes, adjusting to the morning light that shone through Ginny's bedroom window. Ginny had apparently already gone downstairs to eat breakfast, so the room was unoccupied other than Cedric and herself.
"Come on, there's someone you have to meet," Cedric ushered as he pulled Hermione's arms, forcing her to sit up. Hermione pulled her blanket off and threw on her robe before sulkily following Cedric down the stairs, to the kitchen.
"Hermione, you remember Fleur Delacour? She was the Beauxbatons champion two years ago. She and Bill are engaged, they've come to visit for the summer," introduced Molly with a bit of an unhappy tone as Hermione was dragged into the kitchen.
"Oh, yes, hello Fleur. Lovely to see you again. Congratulations," Hermione smiled nervously.
"Oh, enchanté 'ermione! 'Ow lovely to see you again!" Fleur said, feebly sticking out her hand for Hermione to shake. As she did, the front door swung open, and Bill Weasley walked in.
"Fleur, dear, I'm glad you're getting introduced and acquainted! Hermione, Cedric, how are you?" Bill nodded at the couple with a grin.
Cedric smiled and shook Bill's hand. "We're doing alright, thanks."
"Cedric, mate, I'm sorry about Sirius, he was a good chap."
"Oh... uh- thanks."
"Alright, Bill. That's enough. Everyone, come eat some breakfast. Cedric, I know you had some treacle porridge already, but feel free to have some more. I highly doubt that you'll be having lots of warm food while at the Tonks'. You didn't hear it from me, but Andromeda is not a great cook."
Cedric laughed and sat down at the kitchen table next to Hermione. She was staring at her untouched food.
"What's wrong?" Cedric Asked, concerned.
"I- I dont know," Hermione admitted as she pulled her hair back. "I had an odd dream, but I can't remember what it was."
"Oh," Cedric said. "Well, I bet it'll come back to you eventually. Maybe something you see or hear will remind you. Eat some food, you can't start the day without nutrients." Cedric pusher the bowl of porridge towards Hermione, and she grabbed her spoon. She shrugged at Cedric with a small smile before shovelling her breakfast into her mouth.
