Sorry took a bit to update have not had a whole lot of inspiration lately

So still own nothing yada yada yada all characters belong to their respective owners blah blah blah I'm following the movie more because its easier to remember

Here it is

Mare's morning classes flew by she spent most of it trying not curse half the students in the school. The continuously whispered and in several of the Slytherin's cases shout about how unfair it was to her or hogwarts that Harry Potter managed to get into the tournament, she had even heard a few of the french girls whispering about it, in french of course but hearing them say " 'arry potter" several times proved it. Mare managed to mostly control her temper, she slipped once when Silvie Sorrel a Slytherin 7th year sneered about how she was betting that Potter dies in the first challenge. Which resulted in Silvie running to the infirmary in tears with a"mysterious" case of excessive burping.

She was fuming by lunch, the moment she walked into the Great Hall she could feel the tension in the air all coming off of the Gryffindor table. She took her usual spot next to Harry and glared at the student's stared at her in shock. Why shouldn't I sit with Harry, he is my best friend. And I truly believe him when he says he didn't put his name in.

"I cursed Silvie Sorrel this morning" she said breaking the silence. Harry, Hermione and Ron looked at her with shock, she wasn't the violent type, so the had reason to be shocked.

"You put a curse on Silvie Sorrel? You? Ms. curses are never the answer." Ron said in utter shock.

"What did you do to her?" Hermione asked.

"Oh nothing harmful just a little excessive burping curse" she said trying to hold back a small giggle.

She heard a choking coughing sound from Ron's direction. He had choked on his food from laughing with a full mouth his face turning red. She heard both Hermione and Harry chuckle lightly at his face, which was truly hilarious.

"That is bloody hilarious" Ron said once his throat had cleared.

"I thought so", Mare said with a small grin, she saw Hermione shaking her head but undeniably smiling.

Mare looked over to Harry who was staring blankly down at his lunch. " Something wrong Harry?"

"No," Harry said. Liar she thought but didn't press him. It was a big part of their friendship she didn't push him, she gave him his space.

After a few minutes of talking with Hermione about Ancient Ruins, Mary-Lynnette excused herself saying she needed to go to the library. As she walked out of the hall instead of heading towards the library she turned to different direction and headed outside. She felt the brisk air and let out a breath. She sat on the ground in a corner of the yard. Something kept bothering her. She was worried about Harry. He really didn't seem his self on the train and I understand with the Death Eaters at the Cup could freak him out. But it seems like something more. She decided to talk to him later tonight.

Mare got so wrapped into her thoughts when she felt someone sit next to her she nearly jumped. She turned and saw Cedric Diggory a hufflepuff (told ya he'd make an appearance) he smiled.

"Hey Carter, how are you"

"I'm alright, how bout yourself" She asked returning his smile.

"Pretty good, I have a question for you" He said his casual smile turning to a nervous one.

"Shoot"

He gave a nervous laugh, " I know it's early but would you like go to the Yule Ball with me?"

Mare freezed taken off guard. Cedric had been a friend for years, and he was a great guy but she truly had no interest in him, plus she was hoping most likely foolishly that Ash would go with her. And she knew that a Ravenclaw, Cho Chang had a thing for Cedric.

"I'm sorry Cedric. no" she said, Cedric's face fell in disappointment.

"Oh, alright then, just forget I asked." Cedric said gathering his legs under him to stand. Feeling bad for turning him down she grabbed his arm and said "Ced wait, I'm really sorry. I'm just not interested in you that way."

He stood and turned to her "It's fine Carter", he smiled and held out his hand to help her up which she gratefully accepted. "Thanks" she smiled at him.

They walked up to the doors together.

"Shame about Quidditch, was gonna be the year we finally beat you Gryffindors." Cedric said.

"Keep telling yourself you'll beat us, maybe one day it'll almost come true"

Cedric laughed, " Probably true with Potter on your team. He's one heck of a seeker."

"He is pretty good." she agreed. They talked briefly about Quidditch and then said their goodbyes at the bottom of the stairs to head to their classes.

Sorry no Ash in this chapter. Kind of a filler. Please review it makes me sad when I don't see my inbox filled with them.
