Azkaban's Youngest Prisoner

Ch. 15

Chapter 15:

After my study session with Harry, I began to hang out with him along with Ron and Hermione. Despite Hermione originally being scared of me, we actually grew closer because of our drive in school and both of us were into things like makeup and hair. Ron, who wasn't particularly fond of me at first, actually began to warm up to me. Since I helped him with his homework, we also bonded over our love for quidditch and how we both wanted to see the quidditch world cup the following year. As for me and Harry, we hung out one on one a couple of times, but it was mostly for study sessions. I was deep in thought reading a book in the library when I was interrupted.

"Hey you," Cedric says tapping the table. I look up from my book and give a little laugh.

"Hey?" Cedric leans forward and stares at me. I blink at him. "Can I help you?"

"I think you owe me some hang out time," I cock my head to the side.

"Do I?" I say in a playful tone.

"Yes and I think I'll take it now." I look down at my book.

"I'm reading," I state as I hold up my book.

"Are you done with your homework?" I nod. "Then you're coming with me." Cedric grabs my arm and leads me out of the library and into a secluded area behind the school.

"Cedric where are we-"

"Close your eyes."

"Huh?" Cedric clasps his hands over my eyes. "I swear Cedric if I fall it's your fault!" He laughs in response. I feel us turn right and stop.

"Okay," Cedric whispers. "Open your eyes." He slowly takes his hands off my eyes and I open them to see a green and white checkered blanket on the ground. Assorted foods and drinks sit on top of the blanket and around the area are floating fireflies.

"How did you-"

"Shh go sit down." Cedric nudges me forward and I listen to him as I sit down across from him on the picnic blanket.

"This is cute," I say as I set my book down next to me.

"You like?" I nod. "Good. So, tell me something about yourself that not a lot of people know."

"Uh... oh well my middle name is Jane."

"Tessa Jane Malfoy?" I nod.

"My mom picked my middle name. It's a lot better than Draco Lucius, my dad picked that one." Cedric laughs. "What about you? Tell me something about you that not a lot of people know."

"Let's see... Well, as much as I love my friends they can be pretty stupid sometimes. I really am only close to Tom, he's in Ravenclaw, but my other three Hufflepuff friends aren't my first pick." We continue to talk like this back and forth as we eat the food in front of us. I didn't expect this from a guy like Cedric, he seemed like your average perfect pretty boy who only talked to girls because he wanted to get with them but he was actually so much more than that.
