In the streets of London
"So, Harry. You think we'll get a job by end of summer?" Ron asked his best friend, Harry. The two were in town, looking for possible part-time jobs or summer jobs since they had just graduated from Hogwarts.
"I don't know for sure, Ron. It's kinda hard to look for Muggle jobs, let alone jobs in our world." Harry shrugged.
"True. Why - OW!" Ron had bumped into someone shorter than him and the both toppled to the ground.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you! Are you alright? I'm so sorry!" the person fussed, kneeling beside Ron.
"I'm okay. Really - " Ron paused when he realized that the person was an Asian girl. A very pretty Asian girl.
"I'm really sorry. Are you sure you're okay?" the girl asked again. Her pretty, big hazel eyes stared into Ron's.
"Um - Yeah. I'm okay. And I should be sorry too, since I bumped into you too." Ron managed. He noticed a suitcase, which was on the floor due to the bump.
"It's okay. I'm alright too." The girl smiled and picked up her suitcase. "Boy, I didn't know the Muggles here would be so darn nice." The girl mumbled a tad too loudly to herself.
"Muggles?" Harry and Ron said at the same time, both with interested expressions on their faces. "Excuse me, miss. Are you magical folk?" Harry asked.
"Oh no. Um.." The girl blushed, realizing what she just said.
"It's okay. We're wizards too. We're fresh graduates from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Harry smiled.
"Really? Phew! I really should learn to watch my mouth here." The girl laughed.
"By the way I'm Ron. Ron Weasly." Ron extended his hand.
"Nice to meet you, Ron. I'm Sakura Kanzaki. I'm from the Asian School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"Ahem." Harry gave a knowing grin and elbowed Ron, who immediately shot him a "What?!" look. "And this is my friend, Harry." Ron said, trying hard not to blush and to ignore Harry's snigger.
"Pleased to meet you, Sakura. I'm Harry Potter." Harry shook Sakura's hand.
"Oh my God. You're Harry Potter? I didn't expect to meet you! It's a pleasure!" the girl smiled widely. Ron immediately felt a pang of jealously and spoke up.
"So, Sakura. Are you lost here in London? Having trouble finding a hotel?"
"Oh! Actually, yes, I'm kinda lost. Can you please help me find the way to this address?" Sakura showed the boys the back of an envelope. Harry and Ron raised their eyebrows when they saw the address. The person in the house Sakura was looking for was Cedric. Cedric Diggory.
"Um.. Sakura.. You're looking for Cedric?" Ron asked.
"Why, yes. He's from Hogwarts too, right? This was his last letter from him to me. He was in fourth year and he kept telling me how excited he was about the Triwizard Tournament. But, I reckon he became too busy in his last three years in Hogwarts. He was Hufflepuff seeker in the Quidditch team, right? We were pen pals for a long time." Sakura went off. She seemed to not know that Voldemort had killed Cedric in his fourth year.
"Um.. So you're trying to look for Cedric in person?" Harry asked.
"Yes! You do know where he lives, right?" Sakura asked, a gleam of hope in her eyes. The two boys looked at each other.
"We think that you should come with us. There is something you need to know." Ron said.
"Okay.."
At a coffeehouse
"What is it that I need to know about Cedric?" Sakura asked.
"It's - It's just that he's not with us physically right now." Harry said, trying to break the news to Sakura without shocking her too much.
"What do you mean by that?"
"He's.. Voldemort killed him in his fourth year at Hogwarts after the Triwizard Tournament." Harry lowered his voice to a whisper. "What?! Cedric? Dead? This can't be! It's not true! He's not dead!" Sakura said in a mixture of feelings.
"We know it's hard for you to take. But, we're truly sorry. Cedric may be dead, but he's alive in our hearts." Harry said.
"That's true.." Sakura agreed. "But at least let me pay my respects to Cedric." Sakura continued after a moment.
"Yes, we will. But today's not a good day. It's quite a distance from London. We'll have to do it tomorrow and find you accommodation first." Harry implied. (Ron has been silent all this while, stirring his cup of mocha.)
"Okay. But where can I stay?" Sakura asked, looking for a hotel nearby on the map in her hand.
"You could stay at Ron's house." Harry offered. Ron shot another look at Harry. Harry smirked. "Yeah, Ron's place is pretty cozy, and it'll make you feel at home. It's called The Burrow." Harry continued.
"Really? It's so nice that you name your place! I'm sure it's cozy." Sakura exclaimed, almost knocking over the table they were sitting at "But, you really don't mind, Ron? I mean, don't you need to inform your family first?"
"It's okay. Harry's staying over for summer too. We have plenty of space." Ron smiled and blushed.
"Really? That would be great! Thanks, Ron! " Sakura exclaimed and gave a Ron a big smile.
"You're welcome.." Ron quickly looked down and blushed, stirring his mocha faster.
"Well, then I guess we'd better start going! Sakura will need to get used to The Burrow!" Harry said.
The three left the coffeehouse and headed for The Burrow.
