Priscilla finished her charms exam rather quickly. Because at the N.E.W.T. level, you weren't required to use wands, she completed the test almost entirely by hand. Cedric had finished his exam around the same time thanks to his extra practice with Priscilla throughout the year and the prep work he did for the Tournament.

In need of a change of scenery from Hogwart's exam season, they walked outside together. Now they sat under Priscilla's tree on the grounds with a lit joint in their hands. It was becoming a ritual between the two, and Priscilla loved every moment.

"Can I ask what you and Nitara talked about now?" Priscilla said after taking a pull of the joint.

She handed the joint over to Cedric for him to finish off. "We're on speaking terms, at least, but I think she needs more time," he said sadly.

"What about the final task?" Priscilla said, flipping onto her stomach, kicking her feet a little bit behind her with excitement. "It's tomorrow! Are you excited?"

Cedric shrugged. "I dunno how to feel about it," he said.

Priscilla caught onto his energy and changed her mood to match his. He was clearly still upset about Nitara and Cho. "They'll both be there cheering you on, Ced. And me, of course."

"Yeah, I know," he smiled at her faintly. "I just can't shake the weird feeling I have about tomorrow."

Priscilla bit her lip, trying to think of how to approach what she was about to say. Her mind went back to the visions she had seen when she used her magic. Even though nothing she saw directly reminded her of the tournament, she worried they were connected somehow. "I need to tell you something," she finally said after a moment's hesitation.

"You alright?" Cedric asked, and Priscilla nodded quickly before he could get concerned. 

"I'm fine, but I've been getting a weird feeling about tomorrow too," she admitted, "I-"

"CILLA!"

The two turned around towards the voice's source and smiled when they saw Fred jog his way across the grounds, backlit by the lowering sun's glow. He was waving his hand in the air at them as his ginger hair bopped in the wind with each step.
