Stun me » Cedric Diggory

Chapter 45

"So you're the cute scotty quidditch captain that Hogwarts had." said Camilla as she set down some snacks on the coffee table at the living room. "I don't remember the 'cute' part.'" said Cedric and chuckled as he drank some homemade butterbeer.

"It's nice to finally meet you, lass. I've heard a lot about you." Her eyes widened, "oh really?" she then eyed Cedric who was already smiling and winked at her. "I hope it was good things." Oliver laughed, "don't worry." Camilla nodded, relieved. She then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes the way muggles wash it.

Oliver faced Cedric, "the team is back on training again. Did they contact you?" Cedric shook his head. "Is it safe to go back training?" Oliver looked up at the ceiling then back at him, "we're having a meeting today. I came here to fetch ya, if you'll come with." Cedric thought deeply, his eyes landed on Camilla. "Oh don't worry about me. I'll be fine." Camilla says as she went to the living room. "Are you sure?"

Camilla rolled her eyes and grabbed her wand, summoning Cedric's coat. "Yes." The golden boy looked at his teammate and sighed, nodding. The two stood up and Oliver went to the door while Cedric stopped in front of Camilla, concern written all over his face. Camilla knew that look so she kissed his cheek and wrapped her arms around his torso, "I'll be fine. Don't worry."

"You take care of yourself, alright? I'll come back as soon as I can." She nodded, hugging him. As the couple pulled away, she helped Cedric with his coat. "I'll see you later then." She nodded, planting a quick peck on his lips. Oliver waved goodbye, Camilla returning it and the two men headed out of the apartment. As they were far away, Cedric turned to Oliver. "After the meeting, are you free, mate?"

"No, why?"

"Can you help me with something?" Oliver raised his eyebrows, "with what?" Cedric smiled, "with a certain piece of jewelry, perhaps?"

Camilla already defined what the word 'boring' is. Her current situation. She wanted to go outside, to see and feel the sun. Her feet are getting itchy. She sighed, "to go outside for a minute or two wouldn't hurt, right?"

She realised that she was talking to herself. "I really need to go out or else I'll go mad."

She stood up and went to their shared bedroom. She grabbed her coat and beanie then puts it on. She grabbed her wallet and wand before heading out of the apartment.

As she inhaled the fresh air, she felt less insane. It was a beautiful day. No war, no darkness, no negativity. When will that feeling ever return?

Camilla smelled something delicious, like freshly baked bread. She then spotted a small little bakery just right at the corner. She entered the bakery and there were only a few people, mainly old people. As she saw the display of freshly baked goodies, she grabbed the trey and started to pick.

After she picked the bread, she went to the cashier to pay for it. The old lady behind the cashier was kind and told her that it was nice to see some young new faces once in a while.

Camilla smiled and bid goodbye to cashier lady before she headed back to the apartment. She found it nice to be strolling around without worry. Just as she neared the apartment building, hands covered her eyes, making her scream but the owner of the hands quickly covered her mouth.

She instinctively bit the owner's hand and pulled away, "stupefy!" She casted and the person was flying towards the wall, slumping on the ground. "Ow!"
