Charlotte spends most of her time at Hogwarts with our favorite side characters. Wonder what they were doing during those anything but normal 7 years? Lottie is Cedric Diggory's best friend, a Gryffindor ally and an all around adventure driven, snea...

For days it was all anyone could talk about. Hogwarts had 2 champions and nobody knew how or why.
I was sitting in the common room with Justin and Anna who were playfully throwing Bertie Botts flavored jellybeans at each other.
Cedric plopped down next to me on the couch. "You've been avoiding me." he says with a lightness in his voice. "Of course I haven't." I said with a smile back. I haven't had more freaky dreams about Cedric so I was hoping it was a one time fluke.
"Good, because I need you." he says. I shiver. Those were the words he said in the dream. Crap.
"Wh..What?" I stumble. "Come on Charlie, we both know my friends aren't as smart as you. If anyone is going to help me prepare for tasks it will be you." I swallow hard.
"You need me to help you compete in a contest I told you I thought was too dangerous."
Cedric shrugs. "If you are helping me I don't think I could be more prepared." I smile wide. "Okay, fine. I'll make you a list of defensive spells and we can practice this week."
Cedric kissed my cheek. "You're the best." He stood and walked up to the dorms. I sunk into the couch with a slight smile still on my face.
I glance down and see I'm getting a warning look from Anna. "What?" I question. Justin puts a whole lot of jellybeans in his mouth. He looks uncomfortable. "I just..." Anna starts but then Justin almost chokes and coughs.
Anna hands him a napkin to spit his jellybeans into. "P.S.A: don't put multiple flavors in your mouth." he says. Anna rolls her eyes but has a smirk on her face. "Nice...idiot." She stands and goes up to our room.
Dinner that night was very eventful. Susan and Hannah were all excited to tell us about Professor Moody turning Draco Malfoy into a ferret in the courtyard.
"When he crawled out of Crabbe's pant leg I almost peed on spot." Hannah says still laughing.
Anna and I chuckle too. I look up to see Pansy Parkinson smirking. She's holding a basket of buttons. "Hello ladies." she says in a voice as sweet as honey. "Hannah." she says coldly. I almost flinch at her tone. I cannot imagine Hannah not getting along with someone.
Then again I don't know anyone who finds Pansy Parkinson pleasant. Even her fellow Slytherins.
"You guys want a button?" she says. I pick one up. It morphs between rooting for Cedric and hating on Harry Potter. I hand it back to her. "No thanks." I say simply. Anna also puts her back.
Pansy smiles a wicked smile."Oh really? Since when aren't you cheering for your boyfriend to win." she says loudly. I glance over my shoulder and she's caught the attention of some of the Gryffindors. I bite my lip. I don't want this to get back to Seamus.
"Cedric is not my boyfriend. We're good friends and I am rooting for him but not at the expense of Harry Potter. Don't you think he's got it hard enough? Stop passing these out. He's a person, not a pun." I say with a level voice.
