"Holy shit. This is bigger than the one at Hogwarts" Cedric said in amazement as he looked around the large quiditch pitch with a Phoenix engraved in the middle of the grass. When Dash had asked him to practice at the Phoenix mansion over break, Cedric thought that they would have a small patch of grass, not a full field with commentator stands and goalposts.
"My father has always taken a liking to the sport" Rogue began to explain "So he had it built when we moved here. We never actually use it for games tho, just silly matches between the kids. I used to send Flood and Dash our here to compete whenever they would get in a fight" She chuckled slightly as she remembered her brothers fighting over the small snitch when they were younger, Cedric laughing as well.
"Well, it's brilliant. I've never seen a pitch this big. You must have had a lot of fun out here"
Rogue nodded and pulled out a snitch from a small box in the middle of the field.
"We should practice catching it" She suggested and Cedric nodded in agreement.
"I never did thank you for the Daisy's" Rogue blurted out, immediately regretting her impulsivity.
"Oh it was nothing Rogue, the least I could do for breaking your arm" Cedric let out a breathy laugh and Rogue smiled back at him. Their eyes meeting each other and causing the two to look away in embarrassment.
"Well the flowers were lovely Diggory, I still have them in my room" Rogue smiled before heading over to the large shed next to the pitch and pulling out two Firebolt brooms
"Okay seriously, how are you so rich?" Cedric asked as he took they very expensive broom out of the girls hands
The two mounted on their brooms and flew up above the field
"I don't know how we're so rich. My mother was born in to a Delacour family in France who are pretty rich, but she moved out here to study at Hogwarts and they disowned after that" Rogue let the snitch fly up and began to chase it around, Cedric following behind her but moving too slow because Rogue had already caught the ball before he even spotted it.
"My dads family has always been wealthy but not rich. I guess their jobs are the reason for all the money, but it never really made sense to me" Rogue flew back to the middle of the pitch
"It just seems odd that you guys have so much and your parents only work for the Ministry" Cedric explained, now grabbing the snitch from Rogue and letting it fly away
"Yeah I suppose. I'm not complaining though, I live in a mansion and have anything I want" Rogue smirked and flew past Cedric who was too busy staring at the girl to notice the snitch right in front of him
Rogue caught the snitch and giggled at Cedric
"You need practice Diggory, you're getting distracted"
Cedrics cheeks grew hot in embarrassment and he let out a small, shy, laugh.
"Oh shit it's 6, we have to eat dinner" Rogue asserted, looking at the clocktower the family had in their rose garden "We can practice tomorrow yeah?" Rogue asked before flying down to the ground
"It's a date" Cedric replied as the two hopped off their brooms
"Leave it Diggory, a house elf will get it" Rogue said, pointing over to the young elf who was already excitedly rushing their way.
"Thank you Tobby" She said, patting the small elf on the head
"You're welcome Mistress Rogue, it is nice to see you again"
"You as well"
Cedric and Rogue rushed over to the mansion, passing treehouses, cottages, owlrys and gardens on their way there. Cedric looked at all the things with such amazement and every time Rogue would see his eyes grow wide, she felt her heart skip a beat.
God he's so cute She thought to herself
"Need something?" Cedric laughed as he noticed the girl staring at him. Rogues cheeks grew hot as she realized she had been staring at him
"No, just for you to walk faster, we're late to dinner" Rogue joked, causing Cedric to grab her hand and run with her to the front of the mansion
The two laughed as they entered the house, Ron sitting at the table with a mouthful of food and Harry and Flood discussing something that seemed to be very important because their faces were close to each other, like they were trying to keep whatever they were discussing between them.
Coco and Ezra were both taking naps in their rooms and Dash had went to Diagon Alley with Blaise to get Christmas presents for their siblings.
"Flood? Would you want to go to Diagon Alley with me tomorrow to shop for Dash and the other 100 people in this house?" Rogue asked as she took a seat next to her brother
"Sure, can Cedric come?" He asked, smirking at his sister. He knew she had a crush on him and now that he was staying in the house, he wanted to set them up as much as possible.
Rogue turned to Cedric who had taken a seat next to her
"Sure sure I would love to come, I don't really know anyone here but presents do sound fun"
"Okay perfect" Rogue replied, her heart beating fast at the thought of shopping with The Cedric Diggory.
The rest of the friends piled in to the dining room and pretty soon all 11 kids were full of delicious turkey, sushi, chicken legs, salad (Coco is in a diet), pasta, pie (Dash's favorite) and all the other food they desired.
"Otis you never fail to make the best pie" Dash complimented the small elf
"Thank you Master Dash, Otis tries his best"
The kids finished eating and Rogue sent the little ones to bed
"I want teeth brushed and lights off in 10 minutes. And Pansy don't even think of going in to my baby cousins room or I will personally send you back with your parents"
"Okay mom" Pansy groaned as she headed downstairs to her own room.
"Rogue can I stay with Harry and Ron? We have some things to discuss" Flood asked his sister and she nodded in agreement
"Just brush your teeth first"
"Okay so, Blaise is on the 3rd floor with Draco. Dash is on his 4th floor with Diggory, Coco and Ezra you guys are on the second floor with me. And Pansy sleeps in the basement while my brother and the Gryffindors sleep in their cottage"
Coco and Ezra nodded almost instinctively not even trying to think about what Rogue had just blurted at them before agreeing, causing Cedric to wonder
"Does she always do that?" Cedric questioned
"Do what?" Coco replied, raising an eyebrow at the new addition to their middle trio
"Plan everything" He answered, looking at the girl who was directing the kids to their rooms, and planting kisses on their heads.
"Oh yeah, she's all of our moms" Ezra answered smiling warmly at Rogue. Ezra and Rogue had a good friendship. He had always known his family was the weakest of the group and it always made him feel, inferior among the kids. When Rogue found that out she made it her job to, subtly include Ezra in to everything. She was the first person who had made him feel safe and he would always love her for that.
"I don't think she's every not planned something or let us go to sleep mad. She cares about us too much" Coco laughed
Cedric listened to the two friends talk about stories of Rogue, each one making him more and more amazed by the girl
"Wait so she actually sat there with Blaise for 4 hours while he cried about a dead frog?"
"Yeah, and it was her birthday party too. Her parents bought her a unicorn but she chose to sit with my brother, so of course I kept the unicorn" Coco said proudly
"Talking about me now are we?" Rogue asked before she sat in the couch next to Cedric, looking exhausted after making sure each kid was in bed and safe
"Only good things" The grey eyed boy replied back
