During those three months Edward watch Delta from the Hufflepuff table. He saw cuts litter her perfect face. Only yesterday he saw a black bruise around her eye. I need a good reason to talk to her, Edward thought racking his brains.

"Hey, Delta?"

"Yeah?" She turned around from her friends. "I'll catch up with you later."

"Ummm, do you know why people are looking at me funny? Do they know…"

Delta gave him a confused look. "Oh! No, they don't. But I think I might know why. Can you follow me?"

"Sure," I'd follow you anywhere.

Delta lead him to her and Draco's dorm and softly whispered the password into the blank portrait.

"I heard that," Edward said quietly.

"It'll only open if me or Malfoy say it." Edward gave a slightly frustrated look but got rid of it quickly.

He followed Delta up to her room, much to the annoyance of Draco.

"What are you doing Delta?!" he yelled up the stairs.

"Why does it matter to you?" She yelled back.

"You know why!"

Delta shut the door. The walls were white and the room didn't contain much except a bed, a small table next to it, a desk, and an item that looked very much like a birdbath.

"It's old, but it still works. It was my mum's," Delta said, referring to the birdbath object.

"What is it?" Edward asked, embarrassed.

"A pensieve. It shows memories."

"So, you're going to show me memories of why people look at me weird."

"Yeah." Delta emptied a perfume bottle of liquid into the pensieve. "You need to put your head in."

Edward felt the water touch his face as a scene transformed around him. Delta was standing on a hill with 9 other people, including the red headed girl who Delta frequently hung out with.

"This is Amos Diggory, everyone," the red headed man said. "works for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. And I think you know his son, Cedric?" The man was referring to a teenage boy, who looked nearly identical to Edward.

"Hi," said the boy looking around at everyone and settling on Delta.

Everybody said "hi" back, except for 2 tall redheaded teenagers and Delta who merely nodded, looking unimpressed.

The two men had a quick conversation until it became awkward.

The bearded man had said: "Always modest, our Ced, always the gentleman…"

"That's not modesty, that's stating the facts," Delta whispered to the two twins who chuckled.

Everyone placed a finger on an old boot and everyone disappeared. The scene changed quickly. Only the two older men were still standing- Delta had fallen on top of Cedric. "Sorry," she said, stood up, and held out her hand. He took it and the scene changed.

Edward recognized the place to be one of the many corridors of Hogwarts. Delta popped up next to him. "The pensieve finally expanded- it takes a while." Delta and Edward watched a younger Delta ( "I was 14 then") exit a classroom with 3 of the people who had been with her on the hill (" those are my best friends Harry, Hermione, and Ron"). Then the older boy, Cedric, called out Delta's name from the end of the corridor.

"What?" 14 year old Delta said.

"I need to ask you something."

Delta looked at her friend's retreating backs. "I'm not answering anything about Harry."

"I wasn't going to ask anything about Harry. I want to ask if you'll ,you know, go to the Yule Ball with me."

"How do I put this nicely? No."

"Delta, why don't you like me?"

"Why does there have to be a reason for a Gryffindor chaser not to like a Hufflepuff seeker?"

The scene changed and 14 year old Delta was standing outside the Gryffindor entrance with Cedric.

"Fine. I'll go to the ball with you."

"Thanks, Delta." Delta smiled evilly. "What are you smiling about?"

"I can't dance. Good night." Delta turned around and entered the common room before Cedric could say anything.

The scene changed again. Cedric and Delta were in a large room (AN: Room of requirement). Cedric had one of his hands on Delta's back and the other hand holding her's. He was counting softly: 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3…

"I hate you," Delta said.

"Is that why you keep steeping on my feet?" Cedric said light heartedly. Delta stopped, shot him a look of pure hatred and stormed out of the room. "Git."

The scene dissolved and then Delta and Edward were sitting on the benches around the quidditch field.

"I remember this game. Biggest loss Hufflepuff had to Gryffindor in a century. Cedric got sent a howler from his dad afterwards."

14 year old Delta had the biggest smile on her face. It disappeared slightly when she saw Cedric sitting on a bench. "Are you ok?" she asked uneasily.

"No."

"Should I ask?"

"I finally sorted out my life. I got the girl that I've wanted for an entire year and I ruined it."

"You move on quickly, don't you?" Delta sad, trying to lighten the mood.

"No." Delta looked confused. Before he had thought about it properly he was kissing Delta. And she was kissing him back. They stayed like that for a minute and then Delta excused herself to join the victory party.

The scene dissolved again and showed the Yule Ball. Cedric was waiting nervously at the bottom of the stairs. Then Delta descended down them in golden dress robes.

"You look stunning."

"I know," she joked. Cedric and Delta were the first couple on the dance floor. Their gaze never left each other's. They stayed together the entire night until they went to their separate dorms. They shared one last kiss before Delta went inside.

The scene faded and then show a silent school hall. "This one's hard for me," Delta said, looking sad.
