Star Girl | Cedric Diggory

|*| Ninety Four |*|

|*| I wrote a really touching one shot about Neville check it out in my short stories book ok byeee |*|

"I hate Snape with all of my being," Carlos growled under his breath when he received his exam scores from the previous class. He turned around to Aquila with the paper in his hands, waving it in her face. "Look! He marked ten points off because I misspelled potions once. It was a simple mistake."

Aquila didn't pay Carlos any attention because she was too busy plotting the oily professor's death (should she hang him or gut him?) due to her terrible mark. She received a low mark because she forgot to put the date on the paper. Everything else about the project was superb; she, Cedric, and the Weasley twins worked together on it with her (in return, she helped them distract McGonagall during a prank, and she helped her boyfriend with his assignment as well), and there were no other faults with the information. But because she forgot the date, she went down two whole letter marks.

Alexis also received a terrible grade, but there were no scratches or corrections. "It's because he and the other Death Eaters claim I'm a traitor," she observed, shooting Snape a death glare. "Every week, my marking in this class sink lower and lower towards a troll, and it's all because of those despicable bastards."

"Keep your voice low, Lex," Carlos warned. "This room is teeming with said bastards, and it's only going to get worse for you if they hear you talking like this."

"I honestly don't give a flying flobberworm about what they do to me," the girl ranted. "I've already been beaten down multiple times, and I intend to stand my ground this time. Nobody's going to mess with me."

"They've got numbers," he informed her. "All of them against-what-five of us isn't going to be a fair fight. You're standing in a sinking ship, Lex."

"Then let it sink," she said. "I'll swim back to shore and kick their asses then."

"You could drown when the boat sinks," Carlos said. "And we might not be able to pull you out."

"Yes we will," Aquila said, speaking up for the first time during the conversation. "Ya got de eagle ta pull ya ta shore."

"Hear that, Carlos?" Alexis asked. "We've got the eagle."

"Bloody hell is the eagle?" he asked.

Aquila made a cawing sound, getting ten points taken from Slytherin by Snape. Carlos, who was still confused, looked over at the green haired girl for further explanation, but she simply winked at him, saying no more on the topic for the remainder of the period.

"One more day, Ced!" Aquila cheered in reference to the leaf in her mouth. "I take dis liddle shid oud of ma moud tomorrow!" She skipped in a circle around him, and he smiled as he watched her.

They walked down the corridor together, fondly gazing into each other's eyes until a shrill laugh was heard above their heads. Peeves caught their attention, and he dropped a bucket of some disgusting substance from the ceiling to their heads.

They were about to get drenched in whatever slimy thing was in there, but at the last second, the bucket moved like magic, and it fell on top of two unsuspecting boys walking down the corridor next to them.

"Shit!" one the boys said, trying to shake the blue goop from off his arms. "Shit, shit, shit!"

Aquila snickered upon recognizing the boy. "Ah, Richard. Here we are again."

The Gryffindor boy smiled. "It seems like only yesterday we were standing here, staring at a petrified cat. Where did the time go?"

The other boy who was standing next to Richard shifted uncomfortably, not understanding the conversation. Richard saw this and introduced the boy as Issac, a fellow Gryffindor and his new boyfriend.

After a while of catch up conversation, Richard asked why she was talking strangely. "I'm gonna become an Animagus," she told him, hoping he would think she was lying. She decided to try a sort of reverse psychology on him. "I'm gonna be an eagle!"

"Quil, sweetie," Richard said, putting a friendly hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to cover up a swollen tongue with a crazy Animagus story. Your tongue will heal up soon; don't worry."

"Damn, ya cod me," she said, snapping her fingers in frustration. From behind her line of sight, Cedric shook his head.

"Well, it was nice catching up," the gay Gryffindor said, "but Issac and I have to go. We have, um, business to tend to."

"We're going to go make out in a closet," Issac told them.

Richard sighed. "What did we agree on about full disclosure?"

"Didn't you just tell the green queen over here not to make 'crazy coverups'? And you said we had business to do! That's basically code for closet make out!"

"It wasn't a crazy coverup! We don't have to tell them everything! Merlin, Issac. Might as well tell the whole school!"

"And we should! We're queer, we're here, and everyone should hear!"

"You can't rhyme here with hear!"

"They were two different forms! At least I didn't rhyme cat with cat or something."

"Don't you dare bring cats into this!"

As they continued their pointless quarrel, Aquila turned to Cedric with stars in her eyes. "Gween queen," said said. "Id's boodiful!"

"Don't faint on me, Quil," Cedric said, smiling.

"I only go by queen now. Bow down, peasant."

It was finally time. Aquila and her boyfriend snuck out after the sun had set and met at the top of the Astronomy Tower. They thought it was the best place to do the transformation because she could fly off into the darkness once she got her wings.

After the leaf was taken from her mouth and the final steps were preformed, Aquila waved her wand and braced herself for the change. After the first wave, she watched the world around her get larger, and before she knew what was going on, she was staring at Cedric's feet.

Holy shit! she thought. I'm tiny like and eagle!

She looked up at her boyfriend's expression, and he looked shocked. "Quil!" he cheered. "You did it!"

She spread out her wings to get a look at them. Large and brown with a small green streak in the left one. She looked down at her talons, lifting each of her feet to see them.

Aquila transformed back and smirked at her boyfriend. "Caw, caw, bitches."
