... The Triwizard Tournament …

I was up at dawn and couldn't sleep. The events of the Quidditch World Cup still haunted me. Hermione and Ginny were still knocked out sleep, so I snuck out of the room and down to the kitchen sitting at the table. So much had happened and I didn't have much time to process. I'd been up late talking to a few of my fellow Ravenclaws.

Then I heard screaming. Blood curdling screaming and then people were running. Cho grabbed my hand, and we ran into the forest with the other girls. I propped myself up on a tree to catch my breath. The twins spotted me first and let me know where the rest of them were gathering. I launched into Hermione's arms grateful she was alive.

I leaned against the counter and took a deep breath. Someone is walking down the stairs and I turn to see Fred shuffling down yawning and running his hands through his messy hair. We'd had a short fling last year that no one knew about. It was a bit awkward but perfectly manageable. I waved and he smiled. "Couldn't sleep?" he asks. I nod and yawn.

His shirt has risen slightly from his stretching and a bit of his stomach is exposed. I turn away but not before the blush colors my cheeks. "Need to occupy your mind with something else?" his voice is right next to my ear, and I jump. He chuckles and I smack his arm. "Not funny Freddie." I pout. Still laughing he leads me out to the garden, and we spend the time degnoming the garden.

I run up to Cho when I see her at the station. "Oh, how I've missed you so!" I smile. She laughs and we got to find the rest of our friends. We're talking about the World Cup when Cho's eyes flit to the door. Cedric Diggory smiles at her then walks away. I whistle and start blowing kisses to her. "I think someone has a thing for you." Marietta giggled. I laughed at the blush that colored Cho's face. "What are you talking about?" Cho smiled trying to hide her emotions and failing miserably. We teased her all the way to the castle.

I sat silently as we listened to Dumbledore introducing the head of Durmstrang then the head of Beauxbatons. It was a great feast, and it was fun to try the different foods. I threw my arm over Cho's shoulder as we walked up the stairs. "He's staring at you again Lia." Marietta whispers. I turn and see Theodore Nott staring at me. I've noticed him staring at me quite a few times this year, but he's never paid me any mind before. I turn back to my friends, and we hurry up the stairs but not before the blush rises in my cheeks.

"Why is he paying you so much attention now?" Cho wonders. I shrug. There's nothing that special about me or at least I think there isn't. My hair is straight unlike Hermione's bushy hair and my teeth are straight and perfect. I took advantage of the fact that our parents are dentist and had my teeth fixed before I came to Hogwarts. My body was on the curvier side and my skin was paler than Hermione's from all the time I spent inside.

"I don't know. Maybe he's wondering why they can't find anything to tease me bout like they do with Hermione." I sigh. Cho puts a hand on my shoulder. "Enough about some guy who barely speak to me. what about you? I've seen you and Cedric talking between classes!" I giggle and we race up to the dorms to talk about Cedric.

I find Hermione in the library and put my head on her shoulder. "You ok?" I ask. I'd heard that Malfoy had been taunting her again about her appearance and she ended up in the Hospital Wing. "I'm fine." she whispers still reading. Still, something's different and I close her book. She shoots me a frown. I pinch her cheeks, and she objects instantly opening her mouth to tell me off. Then I see it. "You got your teeth done." I gasp. She nods. I let her go and frown. I don't really like the idea of her changing something about herself just because someone hexed her.

She must see it on my face because she spends the next half hour calming me down. I nod and get up to get a book to read though I've memorized half the library already. I'm reaching for a book just out of my reach when another hand grabs it. "Here you go Amelia." The voice belonging to the hand makes me shiver. I turn and see Theodore holding out the book 'shyly'. I do a double take.

He normally keeps to himself sometimes talking to Blaise or Draco but otherwise I've never heard him speak. "Thank you." I whisper in reply taking the book. Something tells me he might be nice then something else tells me he might not. I turn to get another book realizing he's still there.

"Did you need something?" I asked looking over my shoulder. "Oh, no I was just looking for a book on Alchemy." He mumbles moving down the row. Without thinking I grabbed his hand and led him to the proper section. "I've memorized half the library already. You should find the book you're looking for here." I smile and walk away.

I went back over to Hermione and leaned against her as I read. I fall asleep at some point then she's shaking me awake for dinner. I opt out, check out my books, and got to bed Theodore's behavior nagging at the back of my mind.

I'm in my robe watching my roommates get ready for the ball in a flurry of perfume, makeup, and fabric. I roll out of bed spritzing myself with perfume and put on a light bit of makeup. I let my robe fall to the floor and I slip into my mulberry-colored dress and stiletto heels. It's a strapless dress that hugs my curves sensually. I take the rollers out of my hair and find myself impressed by how well the silver glitter streaks came out. My hair floats down to my waist.

The silver in my hair playing well with the silver accents on my dress. "What's wrong with you? You never told us who your date was." Padma comes over as I examine my outfit in the mirror. "Nothing really, I was just thinking." I mumble flipping my hair from side to side as I put earrings and necklace on. "She's probably still trying to figure out why Theodore is paying her more attention this year. Poor Slytherin boy probably doesn't know how to admit he has feelings for her." Marietta teases from the doorway. I stick my tongue out at her and she blows me a kiss.

I loop my arm through Padma's as we go down to the Entrance Hall. My date Jason, a Beauxbatons boy, hurries over and kisses my hand. I let him lead me over to the Great Hall. I smile, wave, and wink at my awestruck friends as we disappear around the door. Jason is like some French style modern day Greek Adonis with bright green eyes and soft curly brown hair.

"You know all night I've noticed people staring at you." He whispers in my ear as he spins me round the dancefloor. I see Fred shaking his head in one corner and Theodore sitting in another looking 'angry'. "An ex-fling and the rest are people who never realized I looked this damned good out of my uniform and are kicking themselves." I reply. This makes him laugh.

I sit at a table as he gets us drinks. Padma wanders over. It didn't look like her little 'date' with Ron went well. "I think Theodore might actually say something." She giggles. I look over my shoulder and sure enough he looks like he wants to say something. He's completely ignoring his date. Before I can respond to Padma Jason is back with a friend for Padma. "Let's go on a walk." I grab Jason's hand and lead him outside.

I turn to him once we're far enough away. He cups my face and kisses me. "I've been waiting for you to do that all night." I sigh. He smiles and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. "What are you waiting for? Do it again." I pull him into another kiss, and he backs me against the wall. My fingers are undoing the buttons on his shirt when Snape clears his throat.

"Get back inside before I give you two a month's worth of detention." He snaps. Jason leads me back inside. "Do you want to go back to the ball?" he asks but his voice and eyes still show signs of lust. I lead him up the stairs and into a storage closet. "Oh no, no I'm not going to let this opportunity go to waste." I say doing the necessary sound blocking charms and locking it. I turn and our lips connect and I'm undoing his shirt buttons. We fall to the floor practically tearing each other's clothes off.

I nibble on my breakfast as everyone talks about their breaks and when the talk turns to the ball I wince internally. I spent the rest of break fucking Jason around the school. We agreed to keep our flings silent and my eyes flit down the table to look at him. "I had fun. I thought Amelia was going to come back after her walk, but she never came back in." Padma shoots me a look, but I decided that my waffles were the most interesting thing in the world.

My friends stare at me waiting patiently for details. "Oh, we went for a walk on the grounds." I mumble. Is that correct?" Marietta turns to Jason. He nods. "Yeah, it was fun night." He chuckles. I bite my lip fighting a smile. "Fun. Not sure I would use that word but ok." I laugh. He meets my eyes, I wink, and we laugh.

I grab my bag and head off to the library. "What was that back there?" Hermione demands. Her sudden appearance makes me jump. "Geez, what the hell! Would it kill you to appear normally?" I scoff grabbing my fallen books. "You and the Beauxbatons boy. Spill it. Now!" Hermione taps her foot impatiently. "There's nothing to tell. We had a good time at the ball along with some inside jokes and we're friendly." I smile. "Oh, really?" she pulls my uniform up enough to see the hickeys travelling across my stomach. "What the hell?!" she gasps.

I tug my uniform back in place and hurry to check out. She's following right behind me as exit the library. "What's going on with you? Where'd you get those marks from? Or better yet who?" Hermione steps in front of me blocking my escape. "Hermione it's not a big deal." I push past her not answering her questions. She's still mad at me by lunch and I can see her whispering to Harry and Ron who's temporarily over whatever possessed him at the Yule Ball. I see Fred listening slightly to their conversation.

I munch away at my sandwich. "Did you and Hermione have a fight or something? Parvati was just telling me that she's been overhearing her muttering and every now and then your name comes up." Padma blurts as she sits down. I shrug. Hermione is now motioning to her stomach and pointing at me. Padma looks at my stomach and reaches out but I'm already on my feet and halfway over to my sister.

"Hi there! Do you mind terribly if I borrow this one?" I don't wait for an answer before half dragging half leading Hermione out of the hall. I push her into a girls' bathroom and check to make sure no one is inside. "What the hell Mione! Are you telling everyone what you saw? Padma is questioning me now because she's partially heard it from Parvati." I take a breath. "I was just asking Harry and Ron, but I should've known those two have no idea. "What if I started talking to my friends and roommates about the hickeys Viktor left on you? Oh, wait! Silly me! I wouldn't do that because you're my sister!" I'm yelling now and I feel my face flush with the hidden embarrassment from earlier.

Hermione stares at me for once at a loss for words. "See! You can't even find a valid defense." I scoff. In the blink of an eye, she's on top of me. "I was just worried about you. I didn't see you all break. It was like you would be there and then you vanished. I just wanted to make sure you were ok!" she's yelling too, and I can see the tears threatening to spill over, but I can't stop the words that are leaving my mouth. "Is that so? If you want to worry about someone then you shouldn't have hidden the fact that you've technically been dating your friend's idol behind his back and lying to him about it. For Merlin's sake didn't you see how jealous he was at the ball. Even I saw, HELL everyone saw it. He didn't even pay Padma any attention because he was too focused on you!" I glare up at her.

She freezes and it's just long enough for me to throw her off of me. I dust myself off and straighten up my uniform. "Worry about your damn self Hermione!" I throw the S.P.E.W badge at her feet. I storm out of the bathroom and collide into Fred. "That was uncalled for. You should go back in there and apologize." He has his arms folded across his chest. I push past him and head up the stairs ignoring the sound of Hermione crying in the bathroom. He grabs me around the waist and pulls me back to the bathroom and tosses me inside.

I pound on the door but he's leaning against it. "I have no time for this." I mutter. I got to the window and tap the glass with my wand. The pieces float out until I can jump out then they float back in place. I walk around the side of the castle and head to class. Someone taps my shoulder. I turn and see Harry and Ron. "Where's Hermione?" Harry asks. "Last I saw her she was in a bathroom crying. Fred should be standing in front of it." I answer. They take off without asking anything else.

I sit in between Padma and Cho as the third task begins. I haven't talked to Hermione since our fight, and I catch her staring at me. I turn to talk to Padma ignoring her. The task begins but I feel like something is wrong. Something about the maze is weird. I'm wringing my fingers and then Harry appears with Cedric's lifeless body.

I stroke Cho's hair as she cries. I nod at Marietta, and she makes some soothing tea for her as I pat her back. I softly hum a few lullabies mother used to sing when Hermione and I were younger. Cho drinks the tea and falls asleep. We carry her up to bed and I tuck her in. "Thank you for helping me. I had no idea what say or do." Marietta confesses as we stand in the doorway of their dorm. I smile and put a hand on her shoulder. "You should get some rest too girly."

Hermione and I still aren't talking by the time we get to the platform and mother notices. "Are you two fighting? Why? You haven't fought in years." She's disappointed. Her voice drips with disappointment and I look away. "Come on. You two are sisters. Can't you kiss and make up?" she asks hopefully. This is the wrong choice of words, but she doesn't know that. Hermione huffs and storms away. I offer my mother a halfhearted shrug like I don't know why Hermione is acting this way.

Hermione is staying with the Order for the summer, and I have the room to myself. I got invited to a party by one of my old school friends. Mum and dad are on a mini vacation with another couple. It's nice to have the house to myself. I shower and spritz perfume onto my skin. I blow my hair out in a messy on purpose but still styled kind of way. I wiggle into fishnet tights and a top. When I'm done with makeup, I look to see my friends pull up at the end of the street in a car I'm guessing belongs to one of their parents.

I throw on a bustier shirt and a mini skirt and lace up my feet in my favorite lita boots. My friends squeal as I hurry down the road and hop I in. We end up in the Borough of Islington and the name seems vaguely familiar, but I ignore it as we stumble into the party like we're already wasted. I dance like no one is watching and wind-up dancing with a random guy grinding on him as the music blasts so hard I'm sure the neighbors are irritated.

I go outside for some fresh air and stare up at the night sky. "Fancy seeing you here." a voice says. I turn and see Jason. I smile and turn back to the sky. "I guess." I reply counting as many visible stars as I can. In truth it's no coincidence. I told him my parents would be away for a while.

He nods towards a sporty looking car, and I let my friends know I'm leaving as Jason wraps his arm around my waist. I pull him inside the house hoping the neighbors don't notice and lead up to my room. "You look ravishing." He whispers as I push him onto my bed. "Thanks." I smirk kissing him softly. He pulls me onto his lap, and I can feel him hardening as I grind my hips against him.

I fumble with his shirt and eventually get it off. I run my fingers down his toned chest with greedy eyes. "You're taking too long." He growls playful and flips me onto my back. I throw my shirt off as he works my skirt and tights off leaving me in my lacy bra and underwear. He kisses the insides of my thighs. I throw my head back as his nose grazes my underwear. He pulls them down and his tongue darts inside me.

He holds my hips down as pleasure rolls over me. I moan softly as his skilled fingers dip into me. My breathing becomes patchier, and fingers are knotted in his hair. I cum hard falling back onto my pillows. I vaguely feel his lips kissing my thighs.

The sound of him undoing his pants snap me back to reality. He slides them off climbing on top of me. I flip us over and sit in his lap rubbing myself against him. He watches me with lust filled eyes and scoot down until I'm staring at his throbbing erection. I give it a lick running my fingers across it. His focus is on me completely. I run my tongue up the length of it before taking the entire thing into my mouth. He groans and I begin to bob my head sucking and running my tongue around it.

His hands are in my hair guiding me but I'm doing most of the work. I feel him twitch in my mouth and ropes of his thick cum shoot into my mouth. I swallow every last drop. He pulls me up to his face and I straddle his lap. He's already stiff again and I slide onto his length. I gasp quietly and Jason runs his hands up my body playing with my breasts.

I let out a breathy moan and he sits up kissing me and forcing my hips crashing down as he thrusts into me. I cry out in pleasure. I wrap my arms around him moaning into his kisses. I move my hips as fast as I can. "Fuck you're amazing." He whispers. I bite down on his shoulder as he plays with my clit. I moan his name loudly in his ear as I cum. I rest on his shoulder shaking as my high hits me.

He doesn't wait long then he has me pinned under him as he thrusts wildly into me. I'm a babbling mess and still highly sensitive from my last orgasm. My nails rake down his back as he pummels me harder and harder. It's driving me crazy, and I love it. I cum several times before he finally approaches his release. I pull him into a kiss and wrap my legs around him. He groans as his seed explodes into me and I cum again.

We lay there a sweaty mess of tangled limbs. "Fuck that was amazing." I smile. "I'm not satisfied yet." He pulls me in to another kiss. I feel myself flood with wetness and I'm all hot and bothered again. "Fuck me like you mean it." I smirk.

I can hear birds chirping and I sit up yawning tiredly. I hear keys opening the door and it dawns on me that today is the day my parents return from their trip. I smack Jason's chest until he wakes up. After a week of nothing but fucking each other senseless we're both tired. He opens his mouth to speak but we hear the jangling of the front door. "Fuck! My parents are back." I leap out of the bed. I throw his clothes at him as he cleans up my room with a wave of his wand. I throw the window open, and he pulls me into one last kiss before climbing out the window.

I have just enough time to hop in the shower when mother knocks on my door. "I'm in the shower. I'll be right there." I yell scrub all traces of the week off my body. I run down the stairs in my pajamas and hug my parents. "How was your trip?" I mumble hugging them tight. They told me all about their trip and I kept them facing me away from the windows. I internally relaxed as I saw Jason hurry to safety.

"The neighbors called while we were gone. Said they heard weird noises coming from the house." Dad leans against the counter. I curse the nosy neighbors silently. "Really." I widen my eyes in disbelief. "Were you and your friends watching one of those movies we told you guys not to watch?" mother put her hands on her hips. I hang my head like this is what I'm guilty of. I stand there listening to an hour-long speech about how I'm too young to watch movies with sexual innuendos and sex scenes.

I'm sent to my room and I'm glad me and my friends already have cover stories. I walk down to dinner and find my parents watching me carefully. I sat down to the plate of lasagna and salad. I placed my fork down when I saw they weren't eating. "We talked to Hermione before we left. She told us about the fight you two had." Mother's voice is calm which frightens me. "You know I think I'll head up to bed now." I mumbled getting up.

"Amelia sit down. Right now!" dad yells and I sit. "What were you thinking?! Who is this boy you left leave those marks on you?" mother demands. I bite my lip and look down. "Are you not going to answer?" her voice rises. I tap out a silent rhythm on my knees. "Really Amelia. Answer your mother right this instant!" dad slams his hand on the table. "No one." I whisper.

"Do not lie to us Amelia!" mother pleads. "I'm not. Besides, why aren't you yelling at Hermione? She was the one putting her nose where it didn't belong. She let an older boy put hickeys on her neck. The whole damn school saw the marks. She saw my 'marks' because she forced my uniform up and then got mad and started mumbling about it to her friends who told my friends." I yell. Before they can scold me, I'm running up the stairs and slamming my room door. I throw the sheets over my head and scream until I fall asleep.

I don't talk to my parents for the rest of the break. I see them talking to Hermione as I get on the train. "I need to talk to you." A voice whispers in my ear and then I'm being led down the train. We stop in a compartment far away from the commotion and I see Theodore standing in front of me. "I saw you this summer." He mumbles. I tilt my head. He sits down and motions for me to sit. "You saw me?" I whisper.

"I was coming back from visiting a friend and saw you and him leaving that party." He stares at me and something about the look in his eyes makes me feel bad. "And?" I try to put venom in my voice, but it just comes out sounding fragile. "You already know. Don't play dumb Amelia." He leans forward. I look out the window. "It was just a few random flings." I scoff not knowing why I am explaining myself.

"Then why can't you look me in the eyes as you lie to me?" he turns my face back to him. I stare into his eyes unable to speak. I feel like he's pulling me to him like a gravitational force only I can feel. I can't make myself speak. He pulls me onto his lap and holds me close. We're so close now that I can feel his heart beating. My breathing is shaky, and he cups face my kissing me softly.
