Chapter 7
Every day it was strange for me to wake up and not talk to my roommates…or Cedric. I really want to apologize to them, but it's too hard to. I know you must be thinking how's it hard to apologize? It just is…especially when we fought over something so stupid. It's embarrassing for me…my dad says my stubbornness comes from my mum's side of the family.
Around eleven o'clock today I walked down to the Quidditch pitch and sat with some of the first year boys. They looked at me curiously because I'm usually with my roommates…except they're mad at me and they're annoying. The match is Gryffindor versus Slytherin. I really hope that Gryffindor wins because Neville's in Gryffindor.
"Charlotte why're your cheeks pink?" Zack asked.
"What?"
"You're cheeks are really pink"
"Oh…uh…I don't know"
"Do you like somebody?" Phil asked.
"No!" I shouted. "And shut up and watch the game"
"Um…Char…the game hasn't started" Greg told me. My cheeks felt hot.
Soon the game started. I saw Fred hit a bludger away from Harry, but it immediately went back to Harry again. Then it started to rain, and the boys started to lose hope that Gryffindor will win. I'm not doubting it, because let's face it, Malfoy probably only got on the team because his father.
Wait a second. If my mum was cousins with Malfoy's mum, what does that make me? Am I like…related to him…? Ahh I think I am! That's scary! I'm like his second cousin or something!
"Somebody cursed that bludger!" Greg hissed.
"What do you mean?" I asked
"It means the bludger's going to kill him sooner or later" Phil said.
"The only question is who did it" Zack asked.
"Malfoy?"
"Maybe…"
"I think I'm Malfoy's second cousin"
The guys looked pitying "But you're all right. You're not an evil git like Malfoy"
"Thanks. My mum was cousin's with his mum"
"I feel bad for your mum. How come you never realized this before?"
"Because my mum died eleven years ago"
"Oh!" Phil cried in shock "We're sorry"
"It's fine. You didn't know"
Suddenly Harry came to the ground, The bludger hit his arm. Although he didn't shout in pain or anything I still winced. Then he caught the snitch and fell to the ground. Lee Jordan shouted that Gryffindor won and then everybody, minus the Slytherins went down to the pitch.
Professor Lockhart was there with Harry. People were urging him to bring Harry to the Hospital wing. He ignored us and then…took all the bones out of his arm. Then he bent it backwards. I felt the familiar, I'm going to be sick feeling. I started pulling out of the crowd and then I started to run towards the bathroom.
When I got to the bathroom I went straight to the toilets. I threw up into it and then I flushed and got up. I always had a weak stomach. I guess I should write to my dad to see what he thinks I should do.
I walked into the empty common room and went up to my dorm. I grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill and then I went back into the common room. I started to write to my dad.
Dear Daddy,
It's been a while, I know. I miss you a lot. I'm sorry I didn't write to you after the…you know. How are you feeling? I had a few tests and some other things to do. I think I told you about me being friends with Cedric Diggory. Well…we had a fight the other day. We should make up soon.
Daddy today was a Gryffindor versus Slytherin Quidditch game. Gryffindor won. But Harry broke his arm. Then Professor Lockhart took out all his bones in his arm. You know how I can get sick about that kinda stuff. And I did get sick. What should I do? Should I go to the Hospital Wing? Or just ignore it? I feel a bit better though. I'd better go. I love you a lot!
Lots of love,
Charlotte Delphinus Lupin
I went to the Owlery and I sent the letter with my owl. I went back into the Common room. There were more people in the common room now. I saw Cedric talking with a few of his friends. I went up to my dorm.
Nobody was there, which I was grateful about. I need alone time. Then my owl came and I took the letter.
Dear Charlotte,
I miss you too. I'm feeling better. Especially since you wrote to me. Don't worry about me, I'm fine I promise. I'm sorry about your fight with Cedric. What was it about? If you started it Char, you should apologize. If he starcdcted it, you should still apologize. How are things going with your room mates? You haven't mentioned them recently.
Charlotte, do you think you need to go to the Hospital Wing? I kind of think you should. If you feel sick again then I urge you to go. I love you and I hope you feel better. I'm really sorry about Harry.
Love,
Your father
I felt better after hearing from my father. I'm going to see him soon, because of Christmas. I decided not to go to the Hospital Wing.
AN: Thanks for the reviews! I'm so sorry for the long wait! Microsoft Word was acting annoying so I couldn't type. And then the HBP news really made me upset. In general this week was pretty bad. Well, I need ideas! If you have any ideas tell me! I'll use them!
TheNighttimeSky: Thanks for reviewing! Yeah Neville is Charlotte's secret crush. Right now, I don't really like her room mates either. Lol. Yeah she'll eventually meet Harry and the others. It'll probably happen soon, because I want them friends by the end of the third book.
csiFREAK24: Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you like Cedric's overprotectiveness :)
Williammoseleysgirl: Thanks for the review! Yeah, Charlotte's half-werewolf. The werewolf part is dormant though. And she's a half-blood because Remus is a halfblood and her mother was a pureblood. Hope that clears things up for you!
