-
Athena Diggory laid in bed groaning irritably at the birds chirping outside her window.
-
Cedric knocked on her door.
-
Athena groaned louder. "What?"
-
"You okay Athena?"
-
I don't feel so great.."
-
"What's up?"
-
"I want my letter to come, but at the same time I think I won't get one and I think I'm making myself sick."
-
"You're gonna get one, I promise."
-
Athena simply groaned again.
-
Cedric sighed. "Do you want anything?"
-
"Yes. I want you to come in and lay with me until I feel better like you did when I was little."
-
Cedric smiled and opened the door. He went over and laid with her.
-
Athena snuggled up to him and put her head on his chest. "I miss this."
-
Cedric rubbed her back. "Me too...."
-
Athena purred lightly.
-
Cedric smiled and ruffled her hair.
-
Athena giggled and swatted at his hand. "I feel better now."
-
"Good."
-
"What should we do?"
-
"Go eat something?"
-
"I'm not really hungry."
-
"No? Okay then... how about a walk? We can go the usual route."
-
Athena sat up and nodded. "Okay! Just let me get ready first."
-
Cedric smiled. "Yeah."
-
Athena ran to her bathroom and changed into a nice dress and flats before running back out.
-
Cedric grinned and stood up.
-
Athena twirled around.
-
"You look amazing."
-
"Thanks! Now come on!"
-
Cedric chuckled and walked outside.
-
Athena followed him quickly.
-
Cedric smiled.
-
Athena walked.
-
Cedric smiled and walked.
-
Athena looked around as she walked.
-
"The place is nice."
-
Athena nodded. "Yeah, but not as nice as Diagon Alley or Hogwarts.."
-
"Athena don't worry."
-
"I know."
-
"Maybe when we go back, the letter will be there."
-
Athena shrugged.
-
"There's a chance."
-
Athena sighed.
-
"Trust me."
-
Athena sighed. "Fine. I trust you."
-
"I know!" Cedric ruffled her hair.
-
Athena giggled and fixed her hair.
-
Cedric chuckled.
-
Athena's stomach growled.
-
"Hungry?"
-
Athena nodded.
-
"Come on."
-
Athena followed him,
-
Cedric walked back home.
-
Athena went with him.
-
Cedric grins and opens the door.
-
Athena steps inside and goes to the kitchen. "Do we have any strawberries?"
-
"Yep!"
-
Athena grinned and ran to get some.
-
Cedric chuckled.
-
Athena came back with a bowl.
-
"Got your strawberries?"
-
Athena nodded.
-
"And I got your letter." Cedric held up the regular yellow envelope of Hogwarts.
-
Athena almost dropped her bowl of strawberries. She put it down and then ran to grab the letter. She ripped it open and squealed.
-
Cedric chuckled and smiled.
-
"I GOT IN!!!!!"
-
Cedric hugged her tightly.
-
Athena was grinning.
-
"I told you that you would get in."
-
"I'm so happy!"
-
"I can tell."
-
Athena began to bounce around while holding her letter. She still couldn't believe it! She was going to Hogwarts!!
-
"Athena calm down."
-
"Why?"
-
"Don't use all of your energy now."
-
Athena sighed and calmed down some. She still was figetdy.
-
Cedric chuckled. "How about those strawberries?"
-
Athena had already eaten half of them.
-
Cedric rolled his eyes.
-
Athena looked ashamed.
-
Cedric smiled and ruffled her hair. "It's fine."
-
Athena gave up the rest of the strawberries.
-
"Athena I was joking."
-
Athena looked uncertain.
-
"I swear it."
-
Athena cautiously ate another strawberry.
-
Cedric smiled.
-
She finished them all.
-
Cedric stretched. "How about we head to Diagon Alley later?"
-
Athena squealed.
-
"Excited?"
-
Athena nodded rapidly.
-
Cedric chuckled. "Good."
-
Athena hugged him.
-
Cedric hugged back.
-
Athena smiled. "Thank you!"
-
"You're welcome."
-
Athena went to her room to get ready.
-
Cedric chuckled.
-
Athena got ready.
-
Cedric stretched and grabbed his coat.
-
Athena came down wearing a silver dress and her lucky silver flats. Her hair was down in waves and she wore a locket that Cedric had given her when she was five.
-
Cedric smiled. "You look lovely."
-
Athena blushed. "No I don't."
-
"Trust me sis."
-
Athena sighed and started to walk out.
-
Cedric followed.
-
Athena walked into the robe shop and froze.
-
"Athena?"
-
Athena was looking at Draco.
-
"Athena, snap out of it."
-
Athena hid behind him so Draco wouldn't see her.
-
Cedric looked at her.
Draco blew the hair out of his face.
-
Athena stepped out from behind Cedric.
-
"Come on, you gotta get your robes."
-
Athena sighed and went over to stand on the platform beside Draco's. She didn't look at him.
-
Draco looked over at the newcomers.
-
Athena stood there in her dress with her hair down in waves.
-
"Hey there."
-
Athena glared at him. ¨Malfoy.¨
-
"So, I'm known already?"
-
Athena just glared.
-
"Why the glare?"
-
"You don't know or are you playing stupid?"
-
Draco smirked. "No I know. I just thought you wouldn't be one to judge a book by its cover, or parents."
-
Athena smirked back. Oh? Well you just proved the steryotype correct by being arrogant just now."
-
Draco opened his mouth again and closed it soon after. "Huh...... alright I'll give ya that."
-
Athena simply smirked and looked away from him.
-
Cedric grinned at Athena.
-
Athena smiled back.
-
"Who are you?" Draco asks.
-
"My name is Athena Diggory, now leave me alone Malfoy."
-
"Why should I?"
-
"Because I will have nothing to do with the likes of you."
-
"And what would you do if, pray-tell, you get in the same house as me?"
"Fat chance Malfoy." Cedric glared.
-
Athena giggled at her brother. "Yeah Malfoy. Also, if we had any classes together, I'd only work with you if I were forced."
-
Draco grit his teeth.
Lexie walked into the store smiling. "Oh hello there. I guess I came a little late."
-
Athena waved to the girl before turning back to Draco. "What's the matter Malfoy? Mad?"
-
Draco growled.
Lexie giggled.
-
Athena glared at him. "I dare you to try anything on me."
-
"You'll regret that sentence." Draco smirked.
-
"I don't think I will."
-
"Beides Malfoy, what can you do?" Cedric crossed his arms.
Lexie watched this intently.
-
Athena waited for Draco to answer.
-
"I....I...." Draco failed to come up with an answer.
-
Athena scoffed and walked down. "I'll have my robes shipped Cedric. Let's go."
-
Cedric nodded and walked out with her.
Lexie looked around and decided to come later.
-
Athena walked out with her head high.
-
"Excuse me!" Lexie walked beside her. "That was awesome!"
-
"thanks. What's your name?"
-
"Lexie."
-
"Nice name! Mine's Athena."
-
"And I'm her brother, Cedric."
"It's a pleasure Athena and Cedric."
-
Athena grinned. "Would you like to be friends, Lexie?"
-
"Yes!"
-
Athena grinned and gave her a hug.
-
Lexie giggled and hugged back.
-
Athena let go. "So, where are you from? I'm from London."
-
"I'm just from the far side of London. Not really heard of."
-
"Oh cool! What house do you want to be in?"
-
"I wanna be a Ravenclaw, but I'll probably get Hufflepuff."
"Hufflepuff isn't that bad." Cedric defended.
-
Athena giggled. "I want Ravenclaw too. Cedric is a Hufflepuff," she teased.
-
"It's a good house!" Cedric crossed his arms.
Lexie giggled.
-
Athena giggled too.
-
"How about we get your books Athena?"
-
"Can Lexie come?"
-
Lexie bit her lip.
Cedric nodded.
Lexie smiled. "Thank you."
-
Athena grinned and ran to the bookstore.
-
Lexie ran after her smiling.
Cedric sighed and ran after them.
-
Athena giggled.
-
Lexie smiled and giggled.
Cedric caught up to them.
-
Athena giggled more.
-
Cedric chuckled.
-
Athena went in and picked out the books she needed.
-
Lexie grabbed her books.
-
Athena gave her books to Cedric.
-
Cedric carried them. "Do you have the money?"
-
Athena took the money out and paid for them.
-
Lexie took out her own money.
-
Athena took her books from Cedric.
-
Cedric smiled.
Lexie payed.
-
Athena grunted with how heavy they were.
-
Lexie took off her bag. "Here, put your books in here."
-
"Are you sure?"
-
"Yeah my Mum put a spell on it. It feels weightless."
-
"Cool! Well, thank you."
-
"Oh it's nothing."
"It's something to us." Cedric smiled.
-
Athena agreed with Cedric. "Where to next?"
-
Lexie shrugged. "Wands?"
-
"Oh! yes!!"
-
Cedric smiled. "That is the best part."
-
"After that, I want to get two pets! Can I Cedric? Please?"
-
"You can't get two."
-
"Why not??? I'd have an owl for mail and a cat to lounge with!!!"
-
"Athena, stop that. You can't have two. Not right now anyways."
Lexie looked at the two.
-
Athena pouted and crossed her arms.
-
"Look at your list."
-
Athena looked at it.
-
It said, "Choose one; owl, cat, toad, or rat"
-
Athena scowled and shoved her list away.
-
Lexie frowned. "Sorry Athena...."
-
Athena sighed. "Then I won't get a pet."
-
"You could still get one. Here, how about since we seem like friends to me. One of us gets an owl and the other gets a cat and we could share."
-
Athena looked down. "Okay. Which one will you get?"
-
"I'll get the owl."
-
"Okay."
-
Lexie smiled. "Well, let's go get our pets!"
-
Athena walked to the pet store.
-
Lexie followed her.
-
Athena went in and immediately spotted the perfect cat. "That's my cat..."
-
"Oh it's so pretty." Lexie smiled.
-
Athena went and picked up the gray and black kitten. "Cedric. I want this one."
-
"Then it's yours." Cedric grinned.
-
Athena hugged the kitten who mewed in return.
-
Lexie looked through the owls. "Hm..."
-
Athena pet her cat as she watched Lexie.
-
Lexie smiled as she found a small, brown one. "That one's pretty."
-
"Get that one!"
-
Lexie grinned and the owl flew down to my shoulder. "Wow."
-
Athena was amazed.
-
Lexie payed for the owl.
-
Athena payed for her cat.
-
Cedric grinned.
-
Athena hugged her brother and held her cat. "I'll name her Willow!"
-
"Cute name." Cedric smiled.
Lexie giggled.
-
Athena nodded. "What are you naming the owl, Lexie?"
-
"I thought Wisp would be a good name. You know... Willow Wisp?"
-
Athena gasped. "That is so smart and cool!!"
-
Lexie blushed and smiled. "Thanks."
"That's awesome." Cedric smiled.
-
"Where to now, Cedric?"
-
"Wands?" Cedric chuckled.
-
Oh, right!"
-
Lexie clapped her hands. "This is the best part!"
-
"yes!"
-
Lexie giggles and takes your hand.
-
Athena grins and holds her kitten with her other hand.
-
Lexie smiles and starts walking.
-
Athena walks with her. "Come on Cedric!"
-
Cedric rolls his eyes and follows. "I'm coming!"
-
(I'm in the dumbest class rn. I'm sooooo bored)
Athena walks.
-
(Oh....)
Lexie smiles.
-
(Yeah. I have computers before English and it sucks!)
Athena gives Cedric her cat and begins testing wands that Mr. Ollivander gave her.
-
(Ugh!)
Cedric holds Wisp and smiled.
Lexie held a wand and whipped it in the air.
-
(The cat is Willow btw)
Athena tested an unusual wand, and it worked for her.
-
(Oh yeah!! Sorry!!)
Lexie put that one down and went for one made of Rosewood.
-
(It's okay!)
Athena got the unusual wand. It was made of Rosewood, was 11 inches, and had a special jewel stone core that was one of a kind.
-
Lexie smiled and got her 12 inch Rosewood wand. Unicorn blood in its core. "You got Rosewood too?"
-
"Yep! Although, Ollivander says mine is special.."
-
"How so?"
-
"he says there's some kind of legend behind it."
-
"Oh cool! I wish my wand had a legend."
-
Athena shrugged. "Where to next Cedric?"
-
"Let's see, we got books, all your Potions stuff, can't get a broom, wand, and getting your robes ordered."
-
"Why can't we get a broom?"
-
"First years can't get one." Cedric said. "Sorry."
-
Athena pouted, but nodded.
-
Lexie kicked some dirt from the ground. "Well, I guess that's it then."
-
"Yep. Where to now?"
-
"Ice cream?" Cedric smiled.
-
"And Butterbeer!"
-
Lexie giggled.
-
Athena grabbed Willow and walked.
-
Wisp stayed on Lexie's shoulder.
-
They got to the Three Broomsticks.
-
Lexie looked around.
-
Athena ran to a booth and sat down with Willow in her lap.
The cat purred and stayed there.
-
Cedric followed and Lexie sat next to Athena.
-
Athena smiled at Cedric.
-
Cedric smiled back. "What do you want?"
-
"Mint chocolate Ice cream and a cold butterbeer!"
-
Cedric chuckled and got up.
"Chocolate and a cold butter beer if you don't mind."
-
Athena smiled. "Cedric won't mind!"
-
"Not at all." Cedric went to the counter.
-
Athena waited.
-
Lexie hummed lightly.
-
Athena sighed.
-
Lexie looked at her.
-
"I can't wait to go to school."
-
"Me either!"
-
"I just hope I don't run into Draco Malfoy when we get there."
-
"That's the guy that made you leave the robe shop, when we first met right?" Lexie tilted her head.
-
"yes. I think he fancies me..."
-
"He just met you." Lexie thought about it.
-
"You should've seen the way he looked at me! It was like he thought I was something out of heaven!"
-
Lexie gagged. "Love.... at this age?"
-
Athena nodded. "I know! It's not appropriate!"
-
"Makes me think about my parents honestly." Lexie rolled her eyes.
-
"really?"
-
"Yep, love at first sight. Married as soon as possible. Had me, got divorced and never heard from either of them again."
-
"Aw, I'm sorry..."
-
"I mean I still get birthday cards and my Gringotts account keeps filling up so they still know I exist." Lexie shrugged.
-
"Then who do you live with?"
-
"Um.... am I supposed to be living with someone? I take care of myself."
-
"What?!"
-
Lexie took off her backpack and opened it. It was full of clothes and some wrapped up sandwiches.
-
Athena stared. "How?"
-
"The food? The clothes? Like I said, my parents do provide money... I buy the stuff myself."
-
Athena felt really bad.
-
"Don't feel bad. Please."
-
"I can't help it..."
-
Lexie closed her bag up. "I'm fine Athena."
-
Athena saw Cedric come back.
-
Cedric handed Athena her stuff and handed Lexie hers. "There ya go."
-
Athena kissed her brother's cheek. "Thanks Ced!"
-
"Thank you Cedric." Lexie started licking her ice cream.
-
Athena kissed her brother's cheek again cheekily and ate her ice cream.
-
Cedric rolled his eyes.
-
Athena giggled.
-
Lexie finished her ice cream.
-
Athena finished hers and her butterbeer.
-
Lexie finished her butter beer.
-
Athena stood up with Willow. "We have to get home so we can get to school tomorrow!"
-
Cedric nodded. "I'll order your robes."
"It was nice to meet you."
-
Athena stopped. "Cedric, can Lexie sleep over?"
-
"I don't see why not." Cedric ruffled Athena's hair.
Lexie looked back at her. "Thanks."
-
Athena hugged Cedric and then Lexie.
-
Cedric hugged back.
Lexie hugged back, tearing up.
-
Athena wiped at Lexie's tears.
-
Lexie couldn't stop the tears from coming. It was too much and Athena and Cedric had been so kind to her.
-
Athena stayed with her and tried to calm her down.
-
Cedric got some tissues and gave them to Athena.
-
Athena gave them to Lexie.
-
Lexie stuttered a small thanks and wiped her eyes.
-
Athena rubbed her back.
-
"What's wrong?" Cedric asked Athena.
Lexie slowly calmed down.
-
"She's just grateful."
-
"Seems a lot of sadness for gratefulness." Cedric looked at Athena.
-
Athena sighed. "I'll ask her later."
-
Cedric nods.
-
Athena looked at Lexie. "ready to go?"
-
Lexie nods and smiled.
-
Athena grabbed Willow and her bag of books with her wand inside.
-
Wisp hooted from Lexie's shoulder and Lexie held her bag on her left shoulder.
-
Athena looked to her brother for a way to get home.
-
Cedric held out his hands.
-
Athena took his hand immediately.
-
Lexie was bit more hesitant but took his hand.
Cedric smiled and started walking.
-
Athena walked with them.
-
Lexie walked and looked around.
-
Athena snuggled into Cedric.
-
Cedric smiled and they all soon got back to the Diggory house.
-
Athena didn't acknowledge Amos as she came in.
-
Cedric waved to Amos.
Lexie looked down.
-
Athena took Lexie to her room so she could share her room.
-
Lexie stayed close to Athena.
-
Athena sat on her bed.
-
Lexie kept standing looking around.
-
Athena pointed to Cedric's old bed before he got his own room. "You can have that bed."
-
"Thanks. Thank you Athena, for everything." Lexie smiled.
-
Athena was confused. "Lexie, Cedric taught me since I was a baby to be nice and always be generous. It's just what I do."
-
"I figured.... I just.... im not used to such kindness."
-
Athena looked at her before thinking.
-
Lexie sat on the bed.
-
Athena yelled really loud for Cedric.
-
Cedric came running. "Nobody dying right?!"
-
Athena smiled innocently. "Nope. Come in and sit down next to me. We need to talk."
-
Cedric frowned and slowly sat on the bed. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"
-
"You shouldn't. Remember how you taught me to be nice and appreciate kindness?"
-
"Of course. We practiced with my friends." Cedric grins.
Lexie watches the two.
-
Athena kisses her brother's cheek. "Well how a bout we teach Lexie how to....not mind people being nice to her? She appreciates it, but she doesn't exactly like the help even though she needs it.."
-
"Needs it?" Cedric looked to Lexie.
Lexie looks down.
-
Athena nodded. "Lexie, tell him."
-
Lexie whimpered. "I'm on my own."
"What? Athena you knew?"
-
Athena looked at her brother like he was stupid. "I only found out today, stupid!"
-
Cedric sighed. "Sorry."
-
Athena hugged him anyway and kissed his cheek. "So will you? Please???"
-
"I suppose I could." Cedric tapped his chin. "I don't know how though."
-
Athena leaned on his shoulder.
-
Lexie looked down.
"I'll look into it." Cedric rubbed Athena's back.
-
Athena sighed and went to Lexie, hugging her. "It's not a bad thing. It'll loosen you up a bit."
-
Lexie hugs back. "Really think so?"
"I know so." Cedric smiles.
-
Athena grinned and nodded before running and jumping into Cedric's lap like she did as a baby.
-
Cedric hugged her. "You're too big for that!"
-
Athena gave him her best puppy eyes and pouted. "No I'm not.."
-
Cedric chuckled.
-
Athena was so close to Cedric, that if anything happened to him, she'd be torn apart. Everyone noticed that but her.
(Timeskip to the year Cedric dies?)
-
(Okay. And Lexie becomes basically their sister cause reasons and who were the crushes again?)
-
(Mine was Draco, urs was harry)
-
(Got it!)
-
Athena sat in the Great Hall at the Ravenclaw table and watched the Sorting Ceremonies only half interested. She felt Draco staring at her. She knew he liked her, but she didn't like him back as much. She had a crush on him sure, and he left her flustered, but she didn't love him.
Harry sat at the Gryffindor table bored out of his mind and hungry. He looked over at Lexie and mouthed 'help me'. He was so bored and wanted to talk to Lexie.
-
Draco sighed and smiled lightly. He took a lot to memorize Athena. Not in a creepy way.... in adoration. He needed to find some way to get to her heart. He knew Cedric was a dead end, maybe her friends.... or that Lexie girl.
Lexie sat next to Cedric at Hufflepuff and giggled lightly at Harry. She rolled her eyes and mouthed back, 'I can't do a thing.' She smirked.
-
Athena rolled her eyes and turned to Draco. She mouthed 'quit staring at me Malfoy!' before turning back around.
Harry pouted and then grinned at Lexie. Ron nudged him and Hermione told them both to shut up and pay attention.
-
Draco looks at his plate, annoyed that he had been caught. He wanted her to just give him a chance! He needed her in his life.
Lexie looked up at Cedric. "Ced? Why do hafta sit through this every year?"
Hermione lightly glared before watching. "Since when did you become so excited Ron?"
-
Athena saw Draco's reaction and scoffed to herself before turning away again.
Cedric looked at Lexie and quietly answered her. "They just want us to know who's coming into our House to make sure that if they need help, we know what House they're in and how we can help.
Ron glared at Hermione. "I'm teasing Harry! I have no interest in Sorting!" He said that quietly.
-
Draco looked up. He sighed and looked at her brother next. He frowned. There was no way he was getting past Cedric.
Lexie sighs. "I understand that much but.... it's no fair. I love helping others but I hate not getting any help back."
Hermione scoffed. "Classic Ronald."
-
Athena watches and claps as the Sorting finishes. She gets pretty excited when Dumbledore says that Hogwarts will host the tri-Wizard Tournament. She didn't like Quidditch much anyway.
Cedric shrugs and then gets the idea to enter his name into the Tournament.
Ron glares at Hermione before looking at Harry and Dumbledore.
-
Draco was one of the people to groan at the loss of Quidditch. He then smiled but soon frowned at the Twiwizard Tournament. "I could win that...."
Lexie frowned. "Awwww poor us. But, you'll be here with me to cheer Hogwarts on right?" She looked up at her fellow Quidditch brother.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "You don't have to glare."
-
Athena was relieved that no one under the age of 17 could enter. That meant none of her friends would get hurt. But that meant Cedric could get hurt.
Cedric went up after the feast was over and put his name in the Goblet. This made Athena gasp in fear.
Ron sighed. "I wish we could enter.."
-
Draco stared at the Hufflepuff. Why? Why would he do that??
Lexie gasped and teared up. "Ced.... no...."
"What? Why?! That would be ludicrous!" Hermione rolled her eyes.
-
Cedric came back and soothed Lexie. He gave Athena a look that said 'I'll talk to you later' before turning to Lexie. "I want to show everyone that Hufflepuffs can do anything anyone else can. Dumbledore said death is possible, not certain. I'll be careful, I promise."
Athena just stared at her brother, her heart pounding. She couldn't do anything else but stare in shock. Everyone else was cheering for Cedric, but she wasn't.
Ron rolled his eyes to mock Hermione. "Maybe because with all the extra training and stuff we've done, we're just as qualified as Diggory and anyone else who enters!"
-
Lexie whimpered before hugging her brother. "Please be really really really careful." She couldn't lose him. The one person who let her in when Athena asked. He understood.
Draco looked down and pushed his food away, he couldn't eat. He couldn't speak, or even cheer.
Hermione frowned. "Maybe it's so other kids don't get into it, Ron."
-
Athena got up and ran out into the hall.
Cedric frowned at Athena and hugged Lexie.
Ron pouted.
-
Draco got up and followed her. "Athena!"
Lexie sniffed and tried to go after Draco and Athena.
Hermione got up and went out of the Hall.
-
Cedric held Lexie back.
Athena kept running.
Ron held Hermione back.
-
Lexie whimpered.
Draco ran after her.
Hermione looked at him.
-
Cedric held lexie close and rubbed her back. 'She'll be fine."
Ron looked at Hermione, confused.
Athena fell to her knees at the edge of the Black lake.
-
Lexie sighed and hugs Cedric.
"I would like to go to my dorm, Ronald." Hermione glares.
Draco stayed a small distance away. "Athena?"
-
Cedric told Lexie to go to her dorm.
Ron let Hermione go while looking at the floor.
Athena sobbed into her hands, ignoring Draco.
-
Lexie pouts and does as she is told.
Hermione walks off to her dorm.
Draco sat beside her.
-
Athena cries into her hands. "GO AWAY MALFOY!!"
Ron looks at Harry.
Cedric goes to find Athena.
-
"I only wanna help Athena. Please I'm not going to hex you or hurt you." Draco begged.
Hermione went to dorm and sighed. "Ronald will never understand will he? No he won't...."
Lexie heads to her dorm.
-
Athena glared at him through the tears. "Why would you help me?"
Cedric ran out.
-
"Cause you.... you mean a lot to me, I really like you Athena." Draco blushed.
-
Athena looked at him. She was about to tell him she had always had a small crush on him too, but Cedric came up at that moment.
Cedric glared at Draco. "get lost Malfoy."
-
Draco got up quickly. "I can't talk to her?"
-
Cedric growled. "No."
Athena clung to Cedric.
-
Draco looks at Athena. "Fine." He walked off.
-
Athena watches Draco leave with tears falling.
Cedric comforts Athena.
-
Draco wipes his own eyes.
-
Cedric bites his lip. "Draco, come back."
Athena puts her arms out to Draco.
-
Draco looks back and runs to Athena, hugging her.
-
Cedric watches with a frown.
Athena hugs him back tightly.
-
Draco smiles lightly.
-
Cedric storms away.
Athena cries into Drcao's chest.
-
Draco rubs her back. "What's his issue?"
-
"he doesn't like you very much."
-
Draco sighed. "Yeah... I knew that."
-
Athena looked at him. "I like you though."
-
"Y-you do?" Draco blushed.
-
Athena blushed heavily and nodded before putting her face in his chest.
-
Draco kissed her head. "Good to know."
-
Athena blushed even more at his action and clutched him tighter.
-
Draco smiles and holds her tightly.
-
Cedric watches from afar.
Athena relaxes.
-
Draco kisses her cheek.
Lexie comes up beside Cedric. "Ced, it's been an hour.... what's taking so long?"
-
Athena smiles a bit into his chest.
Cedric goes tense and tells her to look straight.
-
Lexie stares at the two and looks down. "Well, I guess they finally got over the tension and confessed huh?"
Draco smiles. "You should get some rest."
-
Cedric whips his gaze to lexie. "You knew?!"
Athena shook her head. "No, I should stay with you."
-
"Have you seen Draco? Always staring at her... and Athena... she told me there was a tiny crush a year ago...." Lexie looked down.
Draco sat down. "Then at least try and rest with me."
-
Cedric got angrier. "If I see that snake staring at my sister again, I'll rip his eyes out! As for Athena, you make sure she never talks about him again!" he then begins to walk over to them.
Athena nods and lays her head in his lap.
-
"Cedric no!!! Athena!!!!!!" Lexie screams, trying to pull Cedric back.
Draco looked back and saw the anger in Cedric's eyes. "Uh oh..."
-
Athena looked up and gasped. She had never seen cedric this angry.
Cedric pulled away from Lexie and stalked closer.
-
Lexie fell to ground. "Run!!!"
Draco kissed Athena's cheek. "Go, run! He's after me!"
-
Athena shook her head and held onto Draco. "No. I;m not leaving you here."
Cedric saw Athena and his eyes went dark with anger.
-
"Please Athena, he's after me!" Draco tried to move away slowly. "I can't let you get hurt."
Lexie whimpered in pain from her right leg.
-
Athena stood up. "GO AWAY CEDRIC!!!"
Cedric goes up to Athena and grabs her, pulling her by the hair, away from Draco.
-
"Athena!" Draco teared up.
"Cedric, no!!!!" Lexie cried.
-
Athena screams and struggles.
Cedric was so angry, he didn't realize what he was doing. He pulled her by the hair to him and slapped her over and over again.
-
Draco ran over to Cedric and tried to stop his hand.
Lexie tried to get up and run over to only fall down again. "CEDRIC!!!!"
-
Cedric swatted Draco away and kept slapping Athena, yelling at her.
Athena was screaming and crying now because the pain was so bad.
-
Draco tried to push Cedric away. "Stop!!"
Lexie cried more. "CEDRIC!! PLEASE!!!!!"
-
Cedric became sober all of a sudden, dropped Athena and apparated away to his dorm, crying at what he'd done.
Athena laid on the ground, curled up, bleeding from her head and face, and crying.
-
Lexie cried still. "Athena? Athena!" She tried to get up only to fall again. "Oh fudge!"
Draco ran to Athena and started to heal her wounds, at least until they got to Madam Pomfrey.
-
Cedric didn't come out of his dorm for days.
Athena was better after three days and walked very close to Lexie when she wasn't with Draco.
-
Lexie had only sprained her ankle and just slightly limped for a few days. She was always around Athena or Harry if it was possible.
Draco tried to be around Athena as much as he could, helping her and Lexie with anything they needed.
-
Athena was currently with Draco and held onto his arm for dear life.
Cedric was eating in his room.
-
"Athena, no one's coming after you. I promise." Draco kissed her head.
Lexie was reading in the library.
-
Cedric went to the library.
Athena just whimpered. She had stopped talking after the incident.
-
Lexie looked up. "Ced..."
Draco pecked her cheek.
-
Cedric turned to see Lexie, went pale, teared up, and then slumped to the floor behind a shelf, crying into his arms.
Athena was silent except for her small whimpers and purrs.
-
Lexie ran to him and hugged him. "You're came out of your room. Oh Cedric....."
Draco kissed her head. "Athena? Can I please hear your voice?"
-
Cedric cried into her neck. He felt terrible about what he did to his sister. He had felt terrible ever sine he realized what he did. "I-I need help.."
Athena just shook her head and leaned on his shoulder.
-
"With what? You know I'll do anything. Well.... except with Athena, if she sees you, it's to Draco or me. She won't trust anyone else Cedric. I can send a message. Or you know.... try and help." Lexie ranted a small bit.
Draco sighed. She wouldn't even talk to Lexie! It was starting to worry everyone.
-
Cedric sobbed harder at the trauma he had caused his sister. "I-I need you to distract me...I'm suicidal....I need to talk to Athena....but I want you and Draco there...t-to hold me back if I snap.."
Athena teared up and tried to pull away from him. She hated making Draco frustrated.
-
Lexie nods. She hugs him harder and quickly writes a message, she would give it to Athena and Draco later. "Later okay? You need time to calm down."
Draco pulls her back. "Athena, I'm fine. I swear. Why don't we go and visit Lexie? She's in the library."
-
Cedric nods and hugs her tightly, still crying.
Athena goes back to him and puts her face in his chest.
-
Lexie rubs his back, whispering softly to him comforting words.
"You wanna stay here or go?" Draco asked.
-
Cedric cries into her chest for a while.
Athena finally speaks, but her tone is blank and flat. "I don't care as long as you stay with me."
-
Lexie tears up herself, but wipes them away.
Draco rubs her back. "Let's go visit Lex." He was happy she spoke again but, it didn't sound like the Athena he knew.
-
Cedric soon calms down. "Thanks Lexie..I-I needed that."
Athena nods silently and follows him.
-
"I knew you did." Lexie brushes away a strand of hair.
Draco walks into the library only to catch a glimpse of Lexie and Cedric. He turns to Athena. "Maybe now isn't a good time."
-
Cedric sees Draco and pales.
Athena tilts her head in confusion and tries to go past Draco.
-
Lexie gasps. She tries to get up and lead Cedric away.
Draco holds her arms. "Please."
-
Cedric is frozen in place, his face ghostly white.
Athena looks at Draco and gets out of his grip, coming in Cedric's view.
-
"Oh Merlin no.... Athena go!" Lexie tried to pull Cedric away.
Draco took her hand. "Athena, come on."
-
Athena turns around and sees Cedric. She freezes.
Cedric is ghostly white and is frozen in place.
-
Draco holds her close. "It's okay it's okay."
"Ced... lets go...." Lexie begged.
-
Cedric gets out of Lexie's grip and stands up.
Athena gets out of Draco's arms and runs to Cedric, capturing him in a tight hug. Cedric returns that hug.
-
Lexie watches and sighs in relief.
Draco smiles. "Thank Merlin...."
-
Both Athena and Cedric are crying in relief as they hug.
Athena finally speaks with some of her old spark. "Cedric, I missed you so much!"
Cedric returns the affection. "I missed you so much more."
-
Draco tears up. "She's speaking.... oh thank gosh."
Lexie smiles and sits down.
-
Athena sniffed and stayed in her brother's arms for a long while.
Cedric held her the whole time, whispering soothing things into her ear.
-
Draco smiled and slowly made his way over to the pair.
Lexie ran to them and hugged them. "Thank goodness you two are somewhat back. I was so worried!"
-
Cedric just smiled at both Draco and Lexie.
Athena stayed in her brother's arms but put a hand out to Draco.
-
Lexie grinned and hugged tightly.
Draco took Athena's hand and rubbed her knuckles.
-
Cedric hugged lexie with his other arm.
Athena gently squeezed Draco's hand.
-
Lexie smiles.
Draco squeezes her hand back.
