who are you? -- Cedric Diggory x Edward Cullen

chapter 7

"...And some of us have extra talents such as Edward who can read minds—

"With the exception of wizards and witches who are natural occulumces' as well as Bella'' Alice interrupted.

"Yes" Emmet, who was originally excited to explain how vampires work, was getting noticeably irritated, "And Carlisle who has his gift for compassion, Jasper who was very sensitive to emotions — he can calm a room of blood thirsty vampires in a matter of seconds, and Alice with her gift to see the future" Emmet finally finished off.

The Cullens went on a run down of what being a vampire meant, no appetite for human food, no sleeping, our 6 senses are extremely sensitive, craving for blood, no going out in the sun which really meant no beaches, pools, tanning and henceforth no fun. Throughout the speech, Mia couldn't help but notice Edwards dis-interest in the topic. He seemed to be picking at his nails and busying himself in useless tasks.

They had caught eyes once or twice throughout the whole ordeal but he was always the first to break eye contact or engage in a sneer.

"You all have talents" Mia pursed her lips and paused, "What's mine?"

"We aren't really sure" Alice said, uncertainty evident in her voice.

"Perhaps you have magical abilities because you were a witch?" Carlisle assessed.

Suddenly Mia realised something, she was a witch.

"You're right," Mia mused.

She got up and sped through the house rummaging through drawers to find parchment paper and a pen. After she got her supplies she headed back to the table and leaned onto it, writing with immense speed on her paper. The family looked at one another then eyed her curiously.

"What is it exactly that you are doing?" Jasper came to her side and questioned, he walked closer but pulled his head back when she put her hand in the air to silence him.

"I'm writing" she said with her tongue reaching to the left side of my upper lip in concentration.

"I can see that" Jasper scoffed, "What are you writing" he enunciated

"A letter to the brightest wizard I know, perhaps there's a counter spell" Mia explained.

Mia had expected them to be surprised by her intelligence but when she looked up they were all staring lazily at different corners of the room. Mia had known Gryffindors weren't known for their brains but they should have at least appreciated her idea.

"Carlisle already wrote to him" Edward scoffed, his jaw was clenched and his fists were balled.

"Him?" Mia questioned, not paying attention to his behaviour

"Yes, Draco Malfoy" Carlisle said cooly

Mia scoffed in disbelief

"Malfoy?" Mia howled with laughter

"I'll have you know I'm top of my classes at Hogwarts, but you wouldn't know anything about that would you, Orion?" Mia could hear the arrogance from a mile away.

Malfoy.

.

"What about Granger?" Mia pleaded.

"Nonsense, you're acting like a child Mia!" Esme scolded, her scolding made Mia feel like a child.

Mia scowled at her in response. She finally gave in and walked back out into the kitchen, joining the rest of the family, Edward was nowhere in sight.

"Lovely to see you, Malfoy" She gave him a tight mouth smile.

"Wish I could say the same" He scoffed, pulling on the cuffs of his suit.

Mia's shoulders dropped and she turned her head towards Esme and gave her a he's-being-a-dickhead look. She smiled and motioned for her to speak.

"Perhaps we should go somewhere more...'' Mia paused, eyeing the Cullen's, "private". There's nowhere private in this damn house.

Mia practically dragged Malfoy upstairs into the room she was set to stay in for the time being. She turned her back to Malfoy and closed the door letting out a sigh. She turned around to come face to face with a now curious, Malfoy.

"This better be important, Orion"

"It is" Mia spoke through clenched teeth.

"Get on with it" he arched his brow.

"Well I wanted to know" Mia struggled to find the words, "I wanted to know if there were any counter spells for becoming a vampire" she spoke at an extremely fast pace, one difficult to keep up with.

"English please" he hummed closing his eyes

"Do you have to be such a git about everything? You know why you're here Malfoy, I suggest you do your job" Mia hissed, "brightest wizard they say" Mia scoffed.

Malfoy opened his eyes, a smirk playing across his lips, "Rumour has it there was a man, Falion. Very powerful indeed" Draco mused "He was rumoured to be the first person to cure himself off vampirism, but these are rumours of course. I will let you know if progress has been made in these theories, till then I wish you well" The young Malfoy heir nodded and dissasperated out of the Cullen's home.

"Great" Mia kicked a corner of the wall instantly regretting it.

"Shit, shit, shit" She hissed, hopping around on one foot.

"How lady-like" Emmet teased, standing in the doorway.

"Shut up" Mia narrowed her eyes at him and he held his arms up in surrender.

"What did blondie say?"

"Not enough" Emmet frowned at her response, "there could be a lead but it might just be nothing. I guess we'll have to wait and see" Mia sighed.

"I'm sure something will come up, kid" he patted Mia on the back and left the room.

"Me too" she mumbled to herself.
