The Kind, The Brave And The Cunning

I need to talk to you... In private

Lyra Pov
Hermione was giving me some disapproving looks as we ate. 'I just don't get why. Why Cedric? Why not Harry?' She said bluntly. 'Well, it's not like Harry doesn't make me happy but it's hard to explain its just something about Cedric and also Harry never told me his feelings.' I responded, my attention was caught when Harry took a seat opposite blocking the view from the Slytherin table. 'Wood says I'm going to be seeker!' He said gleefully. 'Do you know if you're going to be chaser yet?' He questioned. 'That's great but no I don't I'm sure I'll find out tomorrow though.' I said in response. We ate our dinner, talking about all things Quidditch. Once we had finished we had to rejoin lessons we only had Herbology left so that was a good thing, however, the lesson was with the other Slytherins. I don't personally don't care about the rest of the house but Draco is going to be there and there's going to be a lot of explaining I don't want to do.

Herbology
After we had eaten, I stopped by the Hufflepuff table to ask Cedric for help as Herbology was definitely not my strong point. He gave me his old first-year textbook. 'Don't show Miss Sprout, its kind of cheating as it has everything and the answers to all the topics you will be covering.' He whispered to me. 'Ok, thanks you're a lifesaver.' I whispered back giving him a quick peck on the lips before leaving. I and Hermione got to class and stood with Harry and Ron who had arrived before us. 'Fred and George told me. Is it true about you know? You and Cedric?' He asked shocked, I rolled my eyes. 'Yes and I don't need your opinion on the boys I date Ronald.' I giggled. 'But you need mine.' Hermione butted in. 'Can you stop being like that?' I asked her. 'Only when you talk to Harry, you need to talk to him about this.' She whispered in my ear. 'Fine later in the Common room.' I sighed knowing he's going to be mad at me. 'Today we will be repotting Mandrakes!' Sprout said gleefully interrupting my thoughts. 'We will be using only seedlings today! Can anyone tell me why?' She explained as Hermione's hand shot like a rocket. 'Yes, dear.' 'The cry of a fully grown Mandrake possesses the power to kill a fully grown human but the seedlings cry only has the power to knock someone out for a few hours.' Hermione explained proudly. 'Yes, yes very correct dear!' 'Now, now as you can see I have placed a pair of ear muffs on your desk I would like you to put them on before I give you a demonstration.' Sprout instructed pointing to the many earmuffs strewn across our desks, once she could see us all wearing out earmuffs she proceeded to tear the Mandrake from the soil and place it into a fresh Pot. 'Now you're going to have to use plenty of soil to keep them warm!' She called over the horrible screams before a huge thud took everyone's attention off of the screaming Mandrake and onto a passed out Neville. 'It seems Longbottoms been abusing his earmuffs.' Spout spat. 'No mam he's actually fainted.' Seamus replied. 'Well then, just leave him there he'll be fine.' She said continuing the lesson. Once everyone had successfully repotted their Mandrakes, Sprout was happy to call it a day and let everyone go back to their dorms.

Common Room
I walked back to the common room alone, I needed time to think of what I'm going to tell Harry. I mean Hermione might be lying and he probably doesn't even like me but I'm going to confront him on the small chance he might. I was so caught up in thought that I fell through the trick staircase. 'Damn it.' I muttered. Most people had already reached their common rooms by now, I guess I'm sleeping on the floor then. When I thought hope was lost, I saw Harry running towards me down the stairs. He looked at me and laughed. 'It's not funny Harry,' I whined. 'Get me out.' I demanded, he pulled me up and out. Thank Merlin I wasn't sleeping on the stairs. 'So...' He said simply. 'So... Can I talk to you? In private?' I asked preparing my words. 'Sure the common rooms empty.' He smiled leading the way, we had reached the common room. 'Hermione told me.' I quickly spat out. 'What did she tell you?' He said going red. 'Something about you liking me.' I said looking at my feet, he went quiet. 'Is it true?' I asked awkwardly. 'Well yeah who in the right mind doesn't like you.' He said scratching the back of his neck nervously. 'I-Me-Cedric. Umm, I have a–' 'Boyfriend.' He sighed finishing my sentence. 'I'm sorry.' I sighed. 'Don't be if you're happy then I'm happy for you.' He smiled, I engulfed him in a hug. 'It's so great to have a friend like you.' I murmured. 'I'm going to go to bed.' I said pulling away. 'Night.' He said as I left to the girl's dorms. 'SO WHAT HAPPENED!' Hermione screeched. 'Calm down Mione.' I laughed. I explained everything to her. 'So that's all? No kissing? No drama?' She said fake yawning. 'I have a boyfriend already that's so wrong.' I said slapping her arm. 'Yep, but you'd look better with Harry!' Lavender chimed in. 'Whatever I'm going to sleep.' I said flopping on the massive bed we had created by pushing all the four posters together.
