Hello everyone, or anyone, I'm Katesp and I hope you enjoy the first chapter of what I hope is going to be a good story! Please read and review. I'll be interested in anything you have to say!

I was stuck sitting on the uncomfortable couch, trying to study. Unfortunately him and his girl were making that quite difficult. They kept on talking and she giggled at every word he spoke. Either she had a horrible sense of humor, because nothing he said was funny (I don't think he was trying to be funny either) or she simply thought a girlfriend was supposed to laugh at everything her boyfriend said.

Her giggling was making it impossible to study. I must have read the line over fifteen times! Most people would just tell me to go up to my dormitory but I couldn't do that because the lamp would annoy my dorm mates. I couldn't go anywhere else because it was past curfew. In fact it was way past curfew and the three of us were the only ones left in the common room. Anyway I decided to do something. I placed my book down on my lap and pretended to clear my throat. It got their attention. Good.

"Um Cedric, do you mind?" A look of confusion spread across his face before the pieces clicked together.

"Oh sorry, really."

"Thanks" I went back to my book but couldn't block out the conversation they were having.

"I guess you better go, it's really late" He told her in a voice that was disappointed.

"All right" Her voice was whiney as she got up from the couch and walked to the door. He walked with her and gave her a kiss on the cheek as she opened the door.

"Be careful," I yelled from across the room. She would have to be. Ravenclaw tower was extremely far from the Hufflepuff dungeon. She gave me a fake smile and walked out. Finally. Cedric would retire to sleep at any moment and I would have the common room all to myself and would be able to study. But he didn't retire instead he went back to the couch and sat on it. Darn Cedric. Was he not tired? And knowing him he would try to strike up a conversation. The boy was too social. Any moment now, he would speak. I was counting the seconds. 1..2..3.

"So what's your name again?" UURRGGHH. How could he not know my name? I've mentioned it to him before.

"Amelia" I didn't let my frustration show.

Before he could say anything else, I got up, picked up my belongings and told Cedric Diggory that I was tired and would retire. I went up to my dormitory and found my room mates sound asleep. Oh, how I wish I could be sleeping right now but I really did need to study and Cedric, URGH, was down stairs. I can't concentrate when I feel someone is watching me, well that's not true but something about Cedric being there while I study made me feel uncomfortable. I laid on my bed and decided to give him half an hour. Yes, half an hour would be long enough. By that time he would be up in his dorm and I would have the entire common room to myself. I looked at my clock and it read 12:34am. Now all I had to do was wait there in the darkness. Tick Tock Tick Tock. Yay, I looked down at my clock, 1:06am. He must be gone by now, I mean I even gave him an extra two minutes. I picked up my books from the floor and started to walk down the stairs. Please don't be down there. Please don't be down there! Yes. Diggory wasn't down there. Or at least that's what I thought. I placed my books down on the table. Wow, the common room was so quiet, I could even hear my breathing.

"Amelia?" Someone whispered.

The person nearly scared me to death. I was so shocked that I fell back and hit my right arm against the corner of the desk as i tried to grab something to break my fall but failed and banged my head against the wall. I laid on the floor for a second before my eyes closed. The next thing I know I'm on a bed in the hospital wing. My head was throbbing and I felt extremely tired. I looked to the side of my bed and saw none other than Cedric Diggory. I let a low groan escape my lips. UURRGGHH! Why couldn't he just leave me alone?!
