A/N: Hey everyone it's charmedchicca. I am so sorry it took so long to get this chapter up but my computer choose this week to go all out on a freak out at me. To add to that I had a bit of writers block and I apologize. Finally I got an idea for how to continue. And with that I'll just say I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter Three: Diagon Alley

I woke with a start. It was still early in the morning, so early it was still dark outside. The past nights nightmare had gotten me again. I wiped the now familiar beads of sweat off my face and checked to see that Faye was still asleep beside me, and thankfully she was. I put my arms around her and though it didn't completely put my mind at ease I have to admit it did make me feel a little better. The next thing I knew it was time to get up.

"Cedric, it's time to go. We need to get your school shopping in today." My father opened the door at which Faye, who had already fallen off the bed at hearing him speak, crawled over into the cove. "You don't suppose Faye still needs to get her shopping for supplies in do you?"

"I dunno dad I'd have to ask her." Out of the corner of my eye I could see Faye nodding that she did still need to.

"Well you tell her she's welcome to come with us. She'd need to be here within the next ten minuets though."

"I'll let her know." My dad left shutting my heavy door behind him. Faye pocked her head out around the corner checking to see that the coast was clear before she got up and gathered her things.

"I'm going to go home and get dressed but I'll meet you back here in ten minutes okay?" She said pulling her jacket on. She was gone; leaving in her usual flash of pink light before anything more could be said.

I got up and got dressed. I felt my pockets and to my relief my supply list was still in my back pocket. I wouldn't have heard the end of it from my father if I had lost it. I headed out of my room, down the stairs, and into the kitchen. Once there I found that breakfast had already been prepared for me, likely by Trolly, my family's house elf.

Sitting down on one of the wooden stools by the counter I began to chow down. I surprised my self with how hungry I realized I was. I didn't think I would ever be able to eat again considering all the food I'd stuffed my self with before the match yesterday.

There was a knock on the door and I began to get up to get it but was stopped by my house elf.

"No sir you must not. It is Trolly's job." I sometimes tended to forget she was here. "If you no let me do anything for you Trolly will have no work." She said stubbornly. I tried to use her as little as possible. This had started last year when Hermione had brought my attention to the mistreatment of house elves.

Trolly made her way to the door, opened it and leads Faye into the house.

"Ced I never knew you had a house elf." I smiled, a little embarrassed. "We had one once when my aunt Piper had kids and then again with my mom, and Paige as well. I don't think we have one any more though…"

"I guess you learn something new every day." I took a sip of my orange juice. It was starting to get warm which Trolly must have sensed because she appeared, and ice tray in hand and plopped a few cubes into my cup. "She's mostly my dad's though. I don't really have a use for a house elf."

"Hermione got to you huh?"

"Yep" We had a good laugh at which point my dad walked into the kitchen.

"Hello Mr. Diggory." Faye greeted him with a bright smile.

"Glad to see you decided to join us Faye, but how many times will I have to ask you to call me Amos?" He said very cheerfully. It seemed he had merely chosen to forget yesterday's mishap with the death eaters.

"Sorry…" She paused and my father looked at her and raised his eyes in waiting. "Amos" He beamed and patted her heartily on the back.

"Say Faye" She looked up at him. "Have you ever traveled by Floo?" She mostly looked puzzled and he must have taken that as a cue to the fact that she hadn't. "Well that'll be how were getting to Diagon Ally today." "Cedric take her over to the fireplace. I'll be there in a moment." I shoved the last piece of toast into my mouth and rose from my stool. I grabbed Faye's hand and guided Faye into the living room. We sat on the couch till my father joined us.

"Dad should I go first or are you going to demonstrate first?"

"I'll demonstrate." With that my father walked over to the mantle piece and picked up a small pot filled with what mostly looks like glitter dust to be Honest. He took out a pinch. "Faye what you will need to do is throw the floo powder into the fire then step into the fireplace stating very clearly the place you wish to go." My dad then demonstrated by throwing the powder in the fire, at which the flames turned a bright and beautiful emerald green. Faye looked completely shocked. Which was weird I figured with all her demon hunting she had to have seen much stranger magic stuff. Next my dad stepped into the flames. "Diagon Ally" He shouted over the roaring flames and disappeared.

"Oh wow…" Faye said stunned. "Is that how weird it looks when I come and go with my power?" I laughed

"Sort of… Well go on now Faye. It's your turn." I said gesturing with my hands towards the fire place, in which the flames had all turned back to their original oranges and yellows. Faye gave me a nervous look.

"Normally I make it a point not to step directly into open flames. It doesn't usually end well." I flashed an encouraging smile, which must have worked because with no further hesitations she reached her hand into the pot grabbing a pinch of powder.

"So just to be clear, all I have to do is say Diagon Ally nice and clearly once I'm in the fire place?" I nodded

"Just make sure to be clear. Fred and George have told me stories about how on Harry's first time he mispronounced Diagon Ally and ended up in Kockturn Ally."

"Well that's hopeful sounding." Her voice was laced with sarcasm. I laughed and she gave me a death glare which only made me laugh harder.

"You'll be fine."

"You better be right. Well here goes nothing." She threw the powder into the fire stepped in and said "Diagon Ally"

After she was gone I did the same. I walked out on the other side to find my dad, Faye, and to my surprise (though I guess I really shouldn't have been surprised) Faye's Cousin Alex. Though they were cousins I had noticed or rather learned that the two of them were often inseparable. They were much more like best friends, or sisters, maybe even twins, but that could be exaggerating on my part.

"Hey" Alex said with a small wave. "I hope you don't mind me joining you guys but Faye told me you guys were going and I realized that I still needed to get my school supplies as well."

"No bother at all" I said. She smiled; though she seemed worried she had intruded I doubted it truly mattered. With Faye at my house all the time they probably needed sometime together.

The first place we stopped was Flourish and Blots…

(From Faye's P.O.V.)

I walked into the book store and was immediately over come by the smell of printed paper. I loved that smell. I was always reading and my favorite smells were that of brand new books, very loved and used books, and of course what ever it is Cedric uses. In fact I was beginning to get much like Hermione in that respect (not the Cedric thing silly)

We split the group boys and girls' seeing as Cedric was in a different year than Alex and me. We looked down at our lists and began our search for required books. On my way over to the right sections to find those books I wasn't really looking were I was going and before I knew it I crashed right into some poor, unsuspecting, student. I landed on my knees and hands and immediately began apologizing.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't…" but when I saw who I had run into I wanted to take back my half finished apology.

"I suppose this means Dumbledore hasn't changed his mind about letting the likes of you into Hogwarts."

I cringed. By the likes of me he had meant Wiccans. "Malfoy" was my only response.

"I'll never understand what he was thinking. Then again of course I have never found him to be the brightest."

I just shook my head at him. How dare he insult Dumbledore like that?

"Malfoy you're just angry because every time you asked Faye out last year she rejected your sorry, greasy haired, ass." I was relieved to hear Alex's voice. "And on top of that the fact that she's now dating the captain of the Hufflepuff quiditch team. I bet that ticks you off a bit."

"Sod off Alex. I was talking to Faye." He paused to sneer at her than went right back to insulting me. "See that's exactly what I mean Faye, no respect for a pure blood like me. Not only are you to Wiccan. No, that's not bad enough. You're half breeds." I had half a mind to blow him up right there. He was of course referring to the fact that Alex's dad was a white lighter (a sort of guardian angel), and mine was a cupid. Unfortunately if I were to blow him up that would likely get me a one way ticket to Azkaban so I refrained. However it seemed I had my work cut out for me. Before Malfoy could say anything else he was punched out. I turned to see who my savior was and low and behold there stood Cedric.

(Back to Cedric's P.O.V.)

I saw her look at me and I smiled. "Well I couldn't very well let him continue trash talking about my girl." She gave me a huge smile. Malfoy got up and his nose was dripping little droplets of blood.

"My father will her about this."

"Oh is that a threat?" I asked "If you harass Faye any more it will be much worse next time, I promise you that." He walked away trying not to show defeat but the drops of blood on the carpet that followed his path out of Flourish and Blots said other wise. I turned to the girls. "Have you gotten all the books you need?" Faye looked to Alex who produced one of each from her shopping bag and nodded. Faye expressed her thanks because with Malfoy's interruption she had completely forgotten to get them.

"Alex and I are going to head home. We only needed the books. The rest of the stuff we have at home already." I pulled her in close. She blushed.

"What Faye? You didn't honestly think I'd let you leave without a kiss?" I kissed her and only once we had finished did I release my hold. "I guess I'll see you at the train in a few days." She gave me this knowing look which said that she'd likely be at my house again before then.

"Yeah I can't believe the summer went by so fast." I held her hand for a moment longer and then finally let it go. She and her cousin left in a bunch of blue lights which they called orbing. Apparently it was easier than what Faye does.

The rest of the day went by quickly as my father and I went around gathering the rest of my school supplies. When we were done we flooed back home and I went up to my room to put it all away in my school trunk.

When I opened the door to my room I found Faye sitting on my bed. I smiled and chuckled to my self.

"It would seem that I've been here in your room more this summer than my own house." It was kind of true. Weather we were having sex or not Faye spent most of her nights here. She let out a long yawn.

"Tired?" I asked her and her eyes smiled. Somehow it seemed her utter exhaustion made her look all the more beautiful. "Shall we sleep then?" She nodded then gained a look of frustration. "What?"

"I forgot something to sleep in."

"We both know I'd be lying if I said I minded you sleeping in just your under wear." She hit me playfully on the arm. "Or nothing, that would be fine too." She hit me a little harder. I laughed but then I sighed and went to my dresser and got her a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I handed them to her and she immediately started changing. It was kind of funny because she had to roll the shorts over a couple of times before she could keep them from falling off.

"You still seem kind of troubled Ced. Is anything wrong? And don't lie to me; I'll be able to tell."

"It's just that dream from before…" She tilted her head concerned." I had it again last night."

"I told you it's probably nothing but if you're still worried I can always ask the elders if they think there is anything significant about it. But you're going to have to tell me what it was about."

I took my time explaining the contents of my dream to her from the beginning to the end.

"I died?" she said not sounding even remotely surprised. "I must really be a Halliwell." She saw my confused look and explained. "You see my aunts and mother have all died more than once from varying causes but they all are living currently." She stopped. "Well except for Prue… but that's a different story. I still think it's probably nothing to be worried about but if you want I'll talk to the elders about it, if it will set your mind at ease."

"It will thank you." I said the relief already pouring over me.

"Well it's settled then. I'll talk to them tomorrow."

With that being said we decided it would be best for both of us if we got some sleep. I turned out the lights and was soon sound asleep.

A/N: Document Up loader was down all of last night so this got to you even later than I was hoping but I finally got it up. Thanks for sticking with me, and there should be another chapter up either later today or afternoon tomorrow.
