*Layla's POV*
I woke up at 9am to my little brother coming into my room
"Layla wake up! Mom's making pancakes" Jake said
"I'm coming Jake" I said stumbling out of bed
Jake ran out of my room closing the door behind him. I looked in my mirror. My hair was in a mess of a bun, I was wearing a hoodie and sweatpants. I picked out a black sweatshirt, gray jeans, and platformed boots
"This should be warm enough"
I changed and walked into the bathroom to do my hair and brush my teeth. I just brushed out my hair instead of doing anything with it
"Layla! Breakfast is ready!" My mom called
"Coming!" I said running down the stairs
I went into the kitchen and sat down. My mom handed me a plate of 3 pancakes
"If you want anymore just tell me" my Mom said smiling
"Thank you!" I said taking a bite
"Just so you know, I'm taking Jake to a Christmas party at his preschool today" My mom said
"Am I staying home then?" I asked
"That or you can go to Cedric's house"
"I'll stay here, if that's okay" I replied
"Of course it is!" My mom smiled
I finished eating and went back into my room. I started writing a letter to the trio. It said..
" Dear Harry, Hermione, and Ron,
I might sound stupid saying this but, please stay safe at hogwarts. Last night I kept getting paranoid that you guys were going to get hurt. So, please stay safe. And when I get back, if anything interesting happened, you better tell me because I don't want to be left out. Happy Christmas!
Your friend
Layla"
I put the letter in a envelope and had an owl take it to bring to the trio
"We're leaving Layla!"
"Bye Mom! Bye Jake!" I called out
I didn't know what to do so I started looking around my room for something to occupy myself with
-hours later-
*Hermione's POV*
I was sitting in the common room with Harry and Ron but it wasn't the same without Layla's jokes. And it didn't make it any better when Harry kept talking about Layla
"I miss Layla's jokes already" Harry said sighing
"Harry, it's getting clear you fancy her" I replied
"What! I do not!" Harry said
"Really?" Ron laughed "You keep talking about how much you miss her"
Harry rolled his eyes and laid back on the couch he sat at. As we were talking a letter fell next to Harry
"What's that?" I asked
"A letter" Harry spoke "From, From Layla!"
Harry opened the letter
"What does it say?!" Ron asked excited
"Dear Harry, Hermione, and Ron, I might sound stupid saying this but, please stay safe at hogwarts. Last night I kept getting paranoid that you guys were going to get hurt. So, please stay safe. And when I get back, if anything interesting happened, you better tell me because I don't want to be left out. Happy Christmas! Your friend Layla" Harry said
"You heard her. We have to stay safe" I said
"No kidding Hermione" Ron replied
"Us? Stay safe? Never" Harry laughed
"True" me and Ron said
"But seriously we should TRY to stay safe" I said
"Yeah if she's paranoid about it.. if she finds out that we didn't stay safe,"Harry said "She'll kill us"
We laughed knowing it was true. I wonder what Layla was doing
"What do you think she's doing?" I asked
"Harry wants her to be thinking about him" Ron laughed
"I do not!" Harry said punching Ron's arm
"Someone's getting defensive" Ron added "Don't punch me again!"
I laughed. We changed the subject and started talking about random stuff
*Layla's POV*
My mom has just gotten home with my brother. My dad came home soon after. I heard my Mom call my name so I ran downstairs
"Huh?" I said confused
"Go pack a bag Layla" My dad said
"What Why?!" I asked
"Your mom's sister is in the hospital!" My dad yelled
"Sorry.. I'll go pack now" I said
I ran upstairs and packed a bag full of clothes and everything I would need. Once I was done I went downstairs
"You ready hun?" My mom asked
"Yeah, but where am I staying" I said
"Cedric's house. No one else wanted to let you stay at there house" my Mom replied
"Ok that's fine"
We got into the car and drove to Cedric's house. My mom dropped me off and said bye. I went and knocked on the door
"I got it dad!" A muffled voice say
Someone opened the door
"Layla? What are you doing here?" Cedric asked me opening the door
Before I could answer his Dad let me in the house
"Cedric, she's going to be staying with us for a few days" His dad said
"You could have told me Dad" Cedric laughed
I laughed and shut the front door
"Come sit down Layla!"
I sat on the couch next to Cedric
"What happened? You look like you're about to cry" Cedric asked me
"It's nothing Ced"
"Layla, what happened" Cedric's Dad asked
"It's just my dad kind of yelled at me before, but it's fine" I replied
Cedric hugged me, I hugged back, how couldn't I. Cedric pulled out of the hug and changed the subject.
-1 hour later-
"Cedric, could you show her the guest room she's going to be staying in?" His dad asked
"Of course" Cedric said standing up
I followed him to the guest the room and sat my bad down on the bed
"If you need me, I'm in the room right next to this one" Cedric said smiling
"Thank you!"
Cedric walked out closing the door behind him. I heard him go inside his room. I decided to change into t-shirt and sweatpants. I put the bad I brought on the floor and climbed into the bed. I soon fell asleep
