Saxon's POV

After Lily left we got called down for dinner. Skyler left ahead of us, as I had walked back over to the bed and grabbed Cedric's hand. Holding his hand I led the way down to the dining room. Before we entered I placed a quick kiss on his cheek, he smiled at me before we stepped through the doors. When we entered I took my seat on my father's left, across from where Dad would sit. My sister was sitting in her spot to what would be Dad's right. I gestured Cedric to sit beside me, normally that would be Alex's seat but since Cedric and I are courting Alex gets pushed down a seat. My father smiles when he sees how I've added Cedric to the table.
"Good evening, Heir Diggory. I welcome you to my home and hope that you enjoy your stay." Father says.
"Thank you, Lord Riddle. I am honoured to be here." Cedric replies.
"Now that we are done with the formalities, can we just eat dinner?" I asked.
"Yes. We can, as soon as it is served. You know how this works Saxon." My father says.
After that the food appears and conversation switches to something more entertaining. As dinner progressed father asked Cedric about his plans for the future. Cedric told him he wasn't sure yet, father explained that it was fine since we were still quite young. After dinner was over Cedric and I went back to my bedroom. When we got there I pulled my trunk out and set it down resizing it. Cedric followed my lead, placing his beside mine. Realizing how late it was we changed into pyjamas before I climbed into my bed and Cedric just kind of stood there.
"Cedric. It's fine for you to join me. We aren't ready to do anything so I'm not worried about sleeping in the same bed, besides there's plenty of room for both of us." I tell him.
"Okay. Just remind me of that when your father finds us and curses me." He says.
"Father won't but dad might." I tell him joking.
We both laugh as he climbs into the bed.
"Goodnight Cedric." I say.
"Goodnight Saxon." Cedric replies.
I fall asleep shortly after that.
The next morning when I wake up, I find myself in a warm embrace. As I turn around the arms holding me tighten. I wrap my arms around Cedric once I'm facing him before falling back asleep. A while later there's a knocking at my door before it opens. I look over Cedrics shoulder to see my father standing in the doorway.
"Saxon, I know you are awake. While this is adorable, your sister and I are waiting for the two of you so that we can have breakfast." He says.
"Alright, we will be down in a bit." I tell him.
Father leaves and I turn my attention to my boyfriend? He's adorable when he's sleeping, too bad we need to get up. I try to get out of his grip but he only tightens it.
"Cedric, come on we need to get up." I tell him.
"Fine. I don't think it would be wise to leave your father waiting." He says before letting me go.
Once he lets me go we both get up and dressed before heading down to breakfast. Arriving in the dining room, my father and sister were both sitting at the table already. Breakfast gets served and we all eat before leaving to go do other things. Cedric and I go back up to my room to talk before dad, Alex and Harry arrive. Shortly before lunch I can hear the floo in the sitting room activate, meaning dad is home. Which also means that the Hogwarts express has left Hogsmede station. Alex and Harry would be home in a few hours. A little while later Father calls us down to lunch. When we get to the dining room, dad and Skyler are already sitting at the table. Father enters through a different door and takes his place at the head of the table shortly after Cedric and I sit down.
"Dad. Alex and Harry both got on the train home, right?" I asked.
"Yes. I made sure of it. The Headmaster tried to stop Harry by making up a silly rule but, both Draco and miss Granger pointed out his lie." Dad replied.
"What rule was he trying to make up now?" Cedric asked.
"That you aren't allowed to leave for the holidays without permission from a parent or guardian. However as both Draco and miss Granger pointed out that rule is bologna, Draco listed off that that particular rule was abolished in 1969. While miss Granger noted that even if that rule still existed that it wouldn't apply to Harry as he is the last of the Potter line and his muggle relatives don't count as the rule stated that it had to be a magical parent or guardian of which Harry doesn't have any." Dad explained.
"Trust Draco to know all the rules. I mean his father is on the school board after all." I say shaking my head.
"Yes. I expect Lucius has made sure that Draco knows all the rules by heart." Father says.
The rest of lunch goes by quietly and afterwards I take Cedric on a tour of the manor. We start downstairs since he has basically seen it all already anyway. The only rooms he hasn't seen are Father's office/study, and dad's potions lab.
