I don't own anything but Lena and Ann. Hope you guys like
The walk down to the final task was eerie for her, even though she had her two best friends Fred and George Weasley walking along beside her asking anyone who walked past if they would put on bets, she felt as though something horrible was happening, something was off. She looked over to where the Champions stood outside the half mooned stadium, she didn't look at all three of them just one. The Hogwarts first Champion Cedric Diggory, he was one of her many friend but he was once upon a time her boyfriend but he had broken it off when he figured out that her heart wasn't really in the relationship, that she was in love with someone else.
"Lena" Fred tapped her lightly on her shoulder in order to get her attention, "where about to head in are you coming?"
Lena looked at him blankly for a moment, "Save me a seat I need to see someone first" she said softly, not wait for a reply she walked off towards the where the Champions stood. Amos, Cedric's father stood off to the side talking to Harry about something as she approached.
"You're not meant to be over here Black someone who is considered as dangerous as you are shouldn't even be allowed near the Champions" Alastor Moody grumbled at her as she got close.
"I'm only here to talk to Cedric for a moment if that's alright" Lena answered confusedly, in the years she had known Moody he had never said things like that to her, he never found her dangerous and he was a secret believe that her father was an innocent man. Cedric nodded and moved with her so they were out of earshot of anyone.
"Are you alright?" Cedric asked the concern evident on his face.
"It's not me you should be worried about; I have a bad feeling about what's going to happen, I just want to wish you good luck and please try and keep yourself safe I don't know what I would do if I lost one of my closest friends" Lena said to Cedric without looking at him, before she knew what was happening to strong warm arms wrapped around her two arms that she once used to welcome embracing her. She hugged him back allowing her one moment of weakness in front of him.
"Even if something were to happen to me today you would never truly lose me, I will always be here. I want you to make me a promise okay, I want you to promise me that if something does happen to me, I want you to take care of Cho for me please just watch out for her. I care for her like I cared for you Lena you will always have a place in my heart okay even if I don't have the same place in yours" Cedric said softly into her ear, she hugged him tighter just for a moment.
"I promise" she whispered back as they broke apart and looked at each other. She gave him a smile before heading towards the stadium entrance and off to find where Fred and George where sitting, it didn't take her long to find the two red heads and Angelina. Angelina had become the 4th of their small group of three after her and Fred had gone to the Yale Ball together. Lena had gone with George as they both couldn't go with the person they wanted.
As she sat down on the saved seat between Fred and George the trumpets started to play as the four Champions entered with their representative and stood at the four entrances to the large hedge maze. Dumbledore said his little piece about the final task and who where to go first which where Harry and Cedric. As he gave the signal to Flitch to fire the cannon and sent of the first two Champions, then the final two Champions.
It was about half an hour into the task when Fleur and Victor came out of the maze both seem scared and at a loss as they looked around aimlessly. Another half an hour went by, when Harry and Cedric came crashing to the ground by port key. As Lena looked on a knot in her stomach tighten, she watched as Amos Diggory ran from his seat and down to where his son's body laid. He let out a loud wail and picked his son up to cradle close to his chest. The knot in Lena's stomach became unbearable she let out a soft sob, tears starting to fall down her checks. She felt as though she couldn't breathe, she tried to slow her breathing down but fail to do so. She turned to George knowing that Fred was too preoccupied with Angelina who was in hysterics.
George knew what to do the moment he looked at her. He took her hand and led her to the stairs, he pushed past people that where just standing there, once they were off the stairs and onto the ground George pulled her close to him and tried his hardest to keep him between herself and Cedric's boy knowing to well it would only make her worse. Once they made it to the entrance of the stadium the sound of footsteps behind them started to come.
"You two stop" Professor Snapes voice came making both of them freeze in their place, both turned slowly to find Professor Snape, Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge walking towards them quickly.
"Have either of you seen Mr Potter or Professor Moody?" McGonagall asked quietly when they were close. Both students shook their head, McGonagall turned to Dumbledore "They must have gone back up to the school Albus, I'll stay here and take care of things try and keep the students calm" She said to Dumbledore leaving him with surprise look on his face as though she had read his mind he gave her a curt nod and left with Cornelius and Snape up towards the Castle.
"Professor may Lena and I please proceed to the castle" George asked politely which shocked both McGonagall and Lena neither having heard either of the twins talk politely. McGonagall looked at the 16 year old girl and her heart ached for the girl. She had always know about the antics of the students under her care and she knew that Lena Black and Cedric Diggory had once had a relationship and the older witch knew it was never going to last long know that the young Black girl heart already belong to another, Just like her mother, Minerva thought to herself.
"Of course you may but you are both to go straight to Gryffindor tower, nowhere else understand" Minerva said sternly before her face soften and she touched Lena's shoulder, "I'm sorry for your loss my dear I know that you and Mr Diggory where close."
Lena looked up at the older witch she was afraid to speak fearing that she would become a babbling mess. She nodded to her house head before being led away by George up to the castle. Neither of them talked when they walked into the deadly quiet castle, all the other student where down at the stadium still most of them probably in shock. When they got to Gryffindor tower Lena went off to her dorm but promised George that when she was change she would go straight back to the 6th year boy's dorm. When she arrived to the dorm George had just pulled on his shirt, she went and sat at the end of his bed while he pushed the pillow up against the headboard and lend against it.
"Do you remember when you got cranky with Remus and ran away to our house hiding in mine and Fred's bedroom for nearly three days" George said with a small smile.
"Yeah Remus was distraught thinking that someone had taken me" Lena said with a smile remembering a life where things were much more innocent, "wasn't till your mum came in to wake you two up and found me asleep in Fred's bed both of us curled up, I swear your mum took a photo or something like that because the noise she made when she woke us was almost like she had already planned our wedding."
George smile got bigger, "Pity he won't open his eye's I mean if he had of you probably already be lined up to be my sister in law" George said to her looking at her.
Lena looked around feeling awkward, "I went and seen Cedric before the task, I had a bad feeling guess I was right. I promised him that I would look after Cho for him, he loved her and I was happy for them and now I feel terrible because I keep thinking that if he and I hadn't of gone out then maybe he and Cho would have had more time together" she ramble tears falling freely now, George pulled her up from where she was sitting and up so that her head was resting on his shoulder and he could put an arm around her. He let her cry until she fell asleep on his shoulder, it was nearly midnight before Lee Jordon and Fred arrived back to their dorm.
"How did you two get to leave early?" Lee asked as he changed and sat at the end of George's bed Fred doing the same but the other side of the bed the side closest to Lena, Fred reached out and stroked the hand that was clenched into George's night top. Her grip loosened and she sighed softly.
"McGonagall let us, I think she felt sorry for Lena, Minnie knows more then she lets on she know about Lena and Cedric's relationship so she allowed us to go," George said and then shifted slightly trying to get a bit more comfortable.
"Do you want me to go and get Angelina so she can take Lena back to her dorm" Fred asked getting up from Georges bed.
"No, she's fine. I think she would rather wake up to a stud" George said laughing as he manoeuvred the blanket and pulled it over the both of them. As he was doing so Lee had moved to his bed and Fred had gone to brush his teeth, when Fred returned he felt a ping of jealousy as he looked over towards his twin brother and Lena wrapped up in Georges arm.
