Anne Marie's POV

Cedric and I spent the rest of the day together, walking, talking, and watching the burn on his face slowly heal. It felt so wonderful to call him mine, to be allowed to kiss him and hold him, just as I'd always wanted.

That night, we sat on the sofa in the Common Room, just enjoying one another's company; I was curled up in a ball with my head in a comfortable position on his lap. His fingers were moving gently through my hair, sending tingles down my spine with each touch.

I was about two seconds from nodding off when my eyes snapped open and I sat bolt upright.

"What!" Cedric said, looking around frantically. "What!"

"I just remembered something I have to do!"

I scrambled off of the couch and sprinted toward the tapestry. About halfway, I skidded to a halt and spun back around. I ran back to Cedric and planted a long kiss on his lips.

"Goodnight, I love you."

"I love you, too."

I smiled, giving him one last kiss before turning and resuming my mission. I ran to the staircase and the steps two at a time up to the seventh floor. I went through the wall to my left and found myself in the Gryffindor Common Room. Hoping theirs was the same general design as ours, I went up the stairs to the right, looking for the Gryffindor fifth year dormitories.

I went in and saw Katie Bell sleeping in the bed to the left, so I quickly scanned the other beds for Ally.

I finally found her and smiled, running over to her bed.

Shaking her as hard as I could, I watched as her eyes slowly opened to slits.

"Get up." I whispered frantically. "Ally! I have to tell you something! Wake up!"

Ally's POV

I was shaken awake and heard, "Get up! Ally! I have to tell you something! Wake up!"

I was Anne Marie.

"What?!" I groaned. "I'm trying to sleep here!"

"Get up! Something wonderful has happened."

"Ok, I'm up! I'm up!"

"Come with me."

Anne Marie took me back to her common room, which looked a lot like the Gryffindors'.

"Ok, now what's up?" I asked.

"Cedric and I are going out1" She then gave me a quick recap of what had happened to her in the first aid tent.

"Oh! Anne Marie!" I said, hugging her. "That's great! I'm so happy for you!"

"I am too!" She said, "Now, all we have to do is get you and Harry together!"

"Maybe one day soon, I hope. Is that everything? Because I am so tired."

"Yeah. Night, sis."

"Goodnight."

I made my way back to Gryffindor tower and my warm bed.

Anne Marie's POV

I saw Ally out of the Tapestry and yawned. "What a day…" I said to myself. Then, I slowly climbed the stairs and fell asleep before my head even hit the pillow.
