Redamancy (d.m)

Chapter thirty one-trust

I had lost a considerable amount of blood in the following weeks. Dislike towards Harry was at an all-time high, especially from Hufflepuffs and Slytherins. I had spend more time than preferred in the hospital wing soaking different limbs in murtlap essence. I also unhappily agreed to stop getting into fights at the request of Cedric, who got more upset with each hospital visit. Though he denied it, I knew he had instructed the Hufflepuffs to leave me alone, which only meant that Harry was met with more taunts and bullying. Cedric had become a sort of god recently, the entire student population worshipped him with praise and support. This also meant that I received a lot of unwanted attention. What bothered me the most, however, was the new wave of girls drooling over my boyfriend

"Hey, Ceddie, do you mind signing this for me?" the same girl who's filthy hands had touched Cedric's sweatshirt now stood in front of him once again, eagerly holding out a piece of parchment and a quill
"Yes, Isabelle, he does mind" I snarled, spitting her name out like it tasted sour in my mouth
"I wasn't asking you, bitch" she replied haughtily
"Don't you ever call her that again, Isabelle" Cedric yelled, his knuckles white as his fists shook with rage, "No, I won't give you an autograph, no I won't study with you again, and no I will not go to Hogsmeade with you. And stop calling me Ceddie"

She squeaked, rushing away with embarrassment and hurt.

"Well aren't we possessive" I joked as he pulled me closer to him on the Hufflepuff common room couch and placed his head in my lap
"Don't act like you didn't just get all bothered by her talking to me" he taunted as I played with his hair
"She wanted an autograph" I said with disdain, "probably needs it for her shrine"
He chuckled, gazing up at me fondly while I studied for my double potions class next period.

I wondered how Hermione had managed to recruit so many new S.P.E.W members, until me and Harry drew closer to the dungeon doors, and I made out the red badges that all flashed the words "SUPPORT CEDRIC DIGGORY-THE REAL HOGWARTS CHAMPION "

"Like them, Potter?" Malfoy said loudly as we approached, "And this isn't all they do-look!"

He pushed the badge lightly against his chest, and the words were immediately replaced with green ones, which read "POTTER STINKS"

Mimicking Malfoy's actions, the Slytherins all pressed their badges until a sea of flashing green letters were staring back at me

"Classy" I said rolling my eyes, glaring at Ron who stood silent against the wall.
"We've got loads more, Lestrange, why don't you take one?" Malfoy said, holding out a badge
"I'd rather shove a blast ended skrewt up my ass" I replied.

The beginning of potions class was spent dreaming up the most brutal possible ways to bring about Malfoy's death. Just as my mind was browsing through the many different forms of poisons, a pretty gryffindor girl I had divination with strolled into the classroom, with a bit of parchment clutched tightly in her hands.

"Please, sir, I'm supposed to take" she paused momentarily,brown eyes scanning the note, "Harry Potter and (y/n) Lestrange upstairs"

I looked up at Harry curiously, but he seemed just as clueless

"Potter and Miss Lestrange have another hour of potions to complete" Snape said dully, "they will come upstairs when this class is finished"
"But sir, Mr. Bagman wants all the champions" The student said, nodding at Harry, who turned pink at the announcement of photographs being taken, "and Professor Dumbledore himself requested (y/n)"
"Very well, very will" Snape said irritably, "you'll leave your things here, I want you back here to test your antidotes"
"Please, sir-they've got to take their things with them"
"Alright! Take your things and get out of my sight!"
