Chapter Nine

It was one late Sunday afternoon, the sun wasn't shinning and it certainly filled the void. Days had pasted since those dreams they'd stopped being so vivid Cedric felt weak. His friend ship with Harry had been ripped away from him, he felt so cold, so lost the only thing he wasn't losing was his memories but in turn he felt sure that those would be lost too.

Harry just seemed to never have anytime for Cedric, always with his friends Hermione and Ron. Always off with a new adventure a new battle to fight against Draco no longer needing Cedric's help. Harry was only in his second year and was already so independent. Cedric didn't seem to be able to relate to his old friends any longer everything just seemed to be slipping though his fingertips. He knew that some day soon he would hit rock bottom, his grades would start to slip his parents would find out and pull him out of Hogwarts and move him even further away from Harry than he already was.

Cedric would walk by in the hall ways trying to catch Harry on the stairs but he was too busy with all of his little fan club. He sent owls and they were just discarded on the Gryffindor table at breakfast. He tired waiting for Harry outside of his classrooms when he could but he got away before Cedric could get to him. In short Cedric was lonely and losing Harry, the only one he deemed friendship quality. Harry wasn't just his friend because he was good looking, good at school and a good quidditch player.

No! Harry liked Cedric for who he was but it seemed that Harry was now in his own little world where the popular and social Cedric isn't wanted. Cedric wasn't going to change back to his old self but it had taken back over. He was now back to his quiet old self that reads book. Cedric was desperate to speak to Harry once more but it seemed impossible to do so. He needed to come up with a plan.

A few hours later Cedric found Niamh sat in the small alcove in that lonesome corridor. She was staring outside of the window just like Cedric had done all those years ago. He walked the path he knew so well and stood in the girl's shadow, he didn't bother looking through the window he just quietly asked her what she saw. For a few minuets Cedric got no reply, it was as if she was in a trance of some kind, until finally she turned around and spoke "Oh nothing, I was just looking out over at the lake deep into the forest thinking about all the creatures…" she tailed off.

Cedric knew this was a lie. This window produced images of what he or she wanted to see what their minds eye was seeing. It was a portal into the future, he didn't want to press matters but he knew this can't have really been what she'd seen. Cedric wasn't really in the mood to talk to people which was unusal even though his social level had fallen consiberably he normally liked to talk to Niamh. But for some reason the only person he wanted to talk to was Harry.

Harry was the person who invaded his thought continuously, Harry was always there always in his head cedirc was unable to get him out. Cedric knew that he must pull Harry away from his friends in order to speak to him. Hermione and Ron always made Cedric nervous and forget his plans.

Cedric soon left Niamh and headed to his dorm, he passed students from all years all looking at him like he was some important person sent from god. Cedric was starting is dislike the attention he was getting because it meant nothing, it wasn't just from one person no it was from every single student and teacher in the whole school, he couldn't' get away from it. The only person who didn't pay much attention to him was Harry and that only made Cedric's attractions grow stronger, what did Harry possess that made Cedric so undesirable?

When he reached the Hufflepuff common room his old friends glared at him as if he was an alien to their clan or worse a betrayer he just moved swift and silently across the room to the alcove of the boys dorm room. Untill John Davies called out his name and Cedric turned around " You called?"

" yeah, where've you been man?" he called from across the room, with Alex, Albert and Charlotte at his side all glaring at Cedric.

"Just to the Library an-"

"No I mean why'd you start ignoring us all of a sudden?" John cut him off.

"Oh…" Cedric was lost for words. He didn't mean to ignore his friends just just assumed they wouldn't want him hanging around them when he was in the light with all the girls wanting to talk to him all the time.

"Well mate I think you owe us an apology" Albert said very matter of factually

Cedric soon apologized and withdrew from the common room to his room. So far his life at Hogwarts was starting to become hell, it all seemed so perfect until Harry came and lost interest. Cedric decided the only way to get to speak with Harry was to write an anonymous letter. He knew Harry like the back of his hand, Harry would either assume it was Draco or would be so intrigued that he couldn't ignore it.

The letter Cedric wrote was to meet him tomorrow night in the entrance hall at 11:45 pm on the dot alone.

AN: I'm so sorry for the long update!! And the fact that this chapter isn't really that great it has been so long since I wrote the start of this chapter and I only just finished writing it today so I'm sorry if this one isn't that smooth I hope to update again next week as I have the perfect idea for the next chapter. I'm trying to hurry this story along and change it from my 100 chapters to something a little more readable.
