Disclaimer: I own nothing *tears up*...Sadly this world belongs to J K Rowling.
A/N: So I had this idea for a while now and just decided to write it and see if any one is interested. So yeah seriously tell me what you think cause I may just leave this in a dark corner where it cries.
Chapter 1 - How everything changed.
Rosalie Potter lay on the scruffy bed staring at the ceiling. She looked intently at the cracked peeling paint as she reflected on the events of the past year. She had gained so much in such little time. She had gained two new godfathers and a new friend. The godfather thing was messy and at times tragic but it sorted itself out quickly and though Wormtail escaped Rosalie vowed she wouldn't rest until the rat was behind bars and Sirius was free. The gaining of her new friend was something unexpected and pleasant to her. It all began after the quidditch match.
Flashy flashback!
Rosalie lay on the hospital bed as she heard Madame Pomfrey usher the protesting team and her friends out the door. She chuckled at them and lay her head on the soft white watched the nurse make her way to her office and then she was alone in the dark with only a lantern illuminating the corner where she lay.
Then a cough broke her from her reverie. She looked at the source of the noise and found it to be none other than Cedric Diggory. He walked out of the shadows and sat on the chair next to the bed. "How are you" He asked.
"Me?...Oh I'm fine..Tired but I'm good" She replied.
"Oh I'm sorry I can come back tomorrow" He offered. She shook her head.
"No it's fine but if you don't mind me asking...what are you doing here?" She asked taking a sip of the the water that was sat on her bedside table. "I came to see if you were okay and to tell you that I offered a rematch bit both Madame Hooch and Wood are adamant that it was a fair game"
"It's fine I'll just have to settle for whipping your arse next year instead" She said. He laughed.
"And what makes you think you can"
"Youngest seeker in a-"
"Century"
"And don't you forget it" She teased. They laughed and soon the night melted away as they sat talking. When the battle with sleep became to much they bid each other goodnight and he left her smiling as she let sleep claim her.
End of Flashy flashback!
Rosalie smiled at the memory. Since then they communicated through owls and often met in the library with Cedric tutoring her. She improved her grades in school and grew closer with Cedric. She smiled softly and then looked at the alarm clock on her table. It had once belonged to Dudley but he had 'broken' it meaning his parents had to go out and but him a new one and two more toys that he didn't really need. She at up and stretched and teased her long black hair with her fingers loosening some of the knots that had accumulated in it. She leapt out of her bed and dressed for the day in one of Dudley's over sized ,Well normal for him, shirts over her plain grey tee. She pulled on the skinny jeans that Hermione had bought for her while holidaying in France last year.
She looked at the clock again and grabbed a letter from the pile in the corner of her tiny room. She read the words tracing them with her finger.
Rosie,
I'm Sorry you can't make to the world cup with me but I guess going with the weasley's will be okay. Instead of going with me why don't we go to london for the day? We can go to Diagon Alley and then into muggle London? Let me know if not I'll see you at Hogwarts.
Love Cedric.
It was the first time anyone anywhere had written love at the end of a letter. Hermione and Ron simply signed their names and Sirius admitted to feeling to awkward to saying the L-word. It made her feel warm and gave her a fluttering feeling in her stomach. She Liked Cedric. He was different he didn't ask stupid questions or stare at her. He wanted to know Rosalie not the girl-who-lived. She smiled again before a knock at the door made her jump. She rushed out of her bedroom and down the stairs before seeing her aunt open the door to reveal Cedric wearing dark blue jeans, a dark green shirt and a grey cotton trench coat. "Hi..Is Rosalie in" He asked.
"Yes I am" She called running down the rest of the stairs. Her aunt looked at her then at Cedric then turned away without a word. Rosalie released a breath she had been holding. "Hi Ric" She said shutting the door behind her. She turned and looked at Cedric who was looking at her up and down. "Hellooo" She waving her hands in front of his face. He blinked before smiling and looking at her "Sorry..I er Zoned out for a little bit..Ready to go" He said offering his arm. She nodded and he held out his wand and in a bang the knight bus appeared. They boarded and zoomed away at breakneck speed.
They Came to a screeching halt outside the leaky cauldron. They left the bus with Rosalie still clutching Cedric's arm. They entered the pub and passed through quickly no-one in particular paying attention to the two teens. They entered the alley together. "So where to milady" He asked in a posh voice.
"To the bank kind sir" She said playing along with him. Eventually she giggled and dragged him off to Gringotts.
They exited the bank with their pockets filled with muggle and wizard money. Rosalie turned to Cedric and asked "Where to next"
"Flourish and blott's" He suggested. She nodded and she was soon dragged towards the dusty shop. Once inside she lost sight of him she shook her head and went in search of a book. She knelt on the ground and reached for a blue book. she pulled it closer and smiled to herself. She went to the still and paid and then left the shop to find Cedric balancing a pile of books in one hand. "You know maybe you and Hermione should start a little book lover appreciation club" she joked. He rolled his eyes but she could see the corners of his mouth twitching. "How do you plan on carrying them" She asked. He smiled and whipped out his wand and shrunk them down. "Show off" She grumbled this time he did laugh.
"Where to next" He asked.
"I want some Ice cream and then I thought we could go to muggle London I need some new clothes" She answered shoving the book in the bag she carried with her. He nodded and then was shocked to find himself being dragged away towards the ice cream shop.
"Hello. Can I have the triple chocolate fudge ice cream with chocolate sauce and a chocolate sprinkles" She chirped. The teller nodded then left to produce it leaving Cedric gaping at her. "What!" She said.
"How much chocolate do you need"
"What can I say I like chocolate" He laughed before ordering his , mint choc chip, which Rosalie declared to be boring! They walked back to the leaky cauldron and back to muggle London.
"How much did you spend on clothes" Cedric asked as he placed an extension charm on her bag.
"It wasn't that much" She muttered.
"How much" He asked amusement alight in his gray eyes. She mumbled something that he had to strain to hear.
"I'm sorry I didn't catch that" He said smirking.
"I said £250 you twonk!" She said laughing at his cry of outrage "Can you apparate us to the park near my house please" She asked.
"Sure" He said. They vanished into horrific squashing blackness and landed in the park behind the brick public toilets.
"Do you wanna look at the stars" She asked chewing her bottom lip.
"Sure" They found the perfect spot on top of a small hill and Cedric lay his coat down on the grass.
"So Mr Diggory..what do you plan on doing after you graduate" She asked playing with the blades of grass and looking up at the black sky. "My dad wants me to go into the ministry with him but it's not what I want"
"And what do you want" she asked looking at him. Her emerald eyes piercing the darkened surroundings.
"I want to be a healer...I want to be with people at the begging and the end of their lives...I wanna help people" He said.
"Have you told your dad what you want" She asked.
"No..He'd be so ashamed tat I don't want to be like him"
"Well..I may not be the best expert when it comes to dad's but I'm sure of you just told him how you felt he'd see that..I mean sure he'd be a little upset but at the end of the day he's your dad" She answered.
"I don't know" He said.
"Hey it's late I gotta get home" She said standing to her feet. They walked down privet drive. She looked at the sky again and saw a shooting star. She stood still and closed her eyes and wished for something. With every fiber of her being she wished. She opened her eyes and saw Cedric looking at her "Shooting star I had to make a wish"
"And that was" He asked.
"If I tell you it wont come true" She said before walking up the drive together. She stood on the stone step and tuned to face Cedric. She looked deep into his eyes and worked up her gryffindor courage to do something. She stood on her toes and gave a small peck to his cheek. She turned quickly and went inside the house leaving Cedric stunned. Smiling he turned and walked away before apparating into thin air.
Inside the house Rosalie smiled and crept to her room and disappeared under her covers. Today was perfect. Of course the nightmares came.
