Disclaimer: Once again, I am stating that I do not own any of the HP
characters. Thank you for taking time out of your buissy schedule, to read
my story. This very well may be the last chapter, as I am not getting very
many reviews ((3 count them 3)) and I am running out of ideas. If you have
one, even one, even if you think its stupid, it WILL HELP ME more than you
think. And Uncle Bin does not exist either! So don't go call calling the
FBI on me. I was trying to make a joke. Like hahaha? Now, ON WIT DA SHOW!
Peace out!
IMPORTANT/IMPOTANTE: I made a mistake in Avril's year!! She is a fifth year! If it went the way I have it, Cedric would be in her year but he is a year younger, so I had to move them both up a year. So Avril is fifth, Cedric is Fourth! Everyone got it? No? Too bad!! The sun'll come out tomorrow!
~¤~
Avril stood up quickly. "I knew it!" she screamed. "I knew that one day you would tired of me." Cho snorted, Avril glared at her. "And of all people you had to chose this slut." Cho's jaw dropped.
"I'm not slut" Cho said. "I'm his-"
"Cousin." Cedric interrupted. "We were talking in Hogshead, and her father showed up who is my mother's brother."
"Why would be walking with her like that?" Wood added.
"Well, she is family." Cedric said. Wood did not look satisfied with his answer. "Now, if you don't mind, Wood, I'd like to take my girlfriend back to the house. She looks like she need comforting form the evil thoughts you have brainwashed her with." He grabbed Avril's hand and pulled her away., Cho following behind them. Avril looked at Wood one last time, before they turned the corner.
"His cousin?" Wood asked himself. He turned around and began heading for his house.
Once Wood was out of earshot, Cedric turned towards Cho.
"I'll catch up with you later and we can discuss, uhm, Uncle Bin's death." He said.
"Uncle Bin?" Cho asked questioningly.
"Yes! Uncle Bin. You know, the one from Afghanistan? Who is on the Federal Witness protection?"
"Oh yes! Uncle Bin!" Cho smiled and walked away.
"So, exactly what were you doing with the scum of the earth? WE were supposed to spend the day together." Cedric asked Avril, who was pinned up against a wall, still shaking a little from crying.
"I, I," he lower lip quivered and she whimpered. Cedric released her and pulled her into his arms. "I was just studying and then Wood came to help me, or rather we made a deal so that we could both have the notes, and then he asked how the relationship was and I told him that we were growing distant by the days, and then he said that maybe I was just for show, and then I ran out and then he tried to help me up and then you came." She said rather quickly. Cedric stroked her hair. "And if you don't mind I'd like to go get some supper." Cedric laughed, and led her to the dining hall.
~¤~ Later ~¤~
"Hey Avril! It's almost Christmas and you haven't been pushing the team very hard." Tom told her. Cedric, Greg Reade, Anthony Hood, Rowena Wilson, and Marc Fournier, ((made up quidditch peeps!)) all agreed.
"Yes I know! But the field has also been booked up every time I look at it! Those Gryffindors and Slytherins are in a competition of who can reserve the field more. I'll talk to Professor Sprout, (( I think she is the head of Hufflepuff. If not, then tell me who is!!!)) and see if she can reserve a few hours one day. IF not, then we have no choice but to all stay over the holidays and practice every chance we get."
"Okay then!" Marc said. "All in favor of Christmas practice?" Everyone agreed. "Well, then, its settled. Avril, in he morning go reserve the field every hour you can over vacation."
"I think that's a little too much." Rowena added. Even though she played a rough game of quidditch, she always was a bit girlie and complained every chance she got. Boy was she high maintenance. She would make a better Avril then Avril.
~¤~ Bed time, plus some. ~¤~
Avril couldn't sleep. Her thoughts kept going back to what Wood had said. "Maybe you're just for show" it kept playing over and over in her mind. 'What if he's right? Cho didn't seem to know she was his cousin. Maybe it is time to find another boyfriend. I'll tell him I want quits tomorrow. He should understand. I hope-' then she fell asleep.
~¤~ in the A.M. ~¤~
Avril woke early the next morning. Whether it was because she couldn't sleep, she didn't know. She didn't bother changing, it was Sunday and they had no classes anyway. So she sat down in front of the fire, thinking of how she could break up with Cedric. As she stared blankly into the fire, she did not realize, that someone had joined her. It was Elle.
"Okay, something is wrong here." Elle said. Startled, Avril looked to her left to find Elle, still in her pajamas, looking at Avril with sympathetic eyes. Avril smiled.
"It's Cedric. He's playing with me." Avril said, returning her gaze to the orange flames.
"Ah ha! And who is he playing at?"
"Cho Chang. You know that Ravenclaw third year? I saw him with her yesterday. He tried to hide it with saying she was his cousin." Elle broke out into a fit of laughter. "What?" Avril asked.
"She...is...his...cousin!" Elle managed to say. Avril's jaw dropped. She buried her face in her hands.
"You don't know how much of a loser I feel like right now." Avril admitted. Elle finally stopped laughing.
"But I think you definitely need to get away from him. You to never have any action anymore." Elle sighed. Avril through a pillow at her. Elle hit her back, and then Avril, then they broke out into a pillow fight, sending feathers everywhere. When they stopped, both out of breath, they realized what they had done.
"Shit!" Avril said, as she stuffed the pillows back.
"Avril, Avril, Avril. Have forgotten who you are? Why you are here? You're a witch woman! No use what your mother gave you."
"My mother didn't give me shit." Avril glared at Elle, her playful eyes now dark. Elle raised an eyebrow. "But you're right."
"Of course I am!" Elle said, relieved now that Avril wasn't so stern. "Now, I'll go get my wand and fix this mess." And she left down the stairs into the lower dormitories ((I don't know what the dorms are like here so I decided to make them on lower floors!)). About thirty seconds later, the door opened. But it wasn't Elle who came out. It was the very handsome Anthony Hood, a beater on the Hufflepuff House Team. He was shorter than Avril (most guys in her year were), and had dark tanned skinned, and black hair.
"What the hell did you do now Ave! I mean, I know you usually go home for the holidays, but it's no reason to take it out on the pillows. I mean honestly-"
"Anthony?"
"You- what?"
"Go to bed!"
"But I just woke up."
"Fine then. Come sit. I have to talk to you, about Cedric." Avril sat down on a large black couch with small yellow stripes ((?)), and Anthony sat next to her.
"What's wrong now?" Anthony asked. Avril new that he could keep her secrets. He was her best friend in first year, and then second year she met Elle and Rowena, but she didn't like Rowena all that much. She was short, and had long black hair and dark eyes. Avril was just the opposite. She was tall, with light strawberry blonde hair and vivid blue eyes. She had few freckles on her face, and had long eyelashes. Avril looked into Anthony's deep brown eyes.
"I want out with Cedric." Anthony laughed.
"You are joking. Aren't you?" Avril shut her eyes tight, and shook her head. "but you're, you're, you're the Couple of the year!"
"No. That was last year. And thanks for reminding me." Avril said.
"I'm sorry. I had no idea-"
"How much this is hurting me." Avril interrupted. A silent tear ran down her cheek. She bit her lip and tried to hold them back. "I mean," she cried, "why does it have to be so damn hard! I mean, it's not like I'm gonna miss him kissing me. He always screwed it-" Anthony had gotten the wrong impression. He grabbed her head and kissed her. Avril didn't know what was going on. She threw her hands back behind her head and waved them around crazy like as he kissed her. She didn't want him to. She tried to push him away, but he kept on going. And little did she know, the rest of her team had emerged with Elle, and saw Anthony kissing her.
"Damn girl!" Cedric yelled. First Wood and now Anthony? How low can you go!?"
"But- I- He"
"I donut want to hear it. I'm sorry. It's over."
"Why...is...this...so...complicated!!" Avril cried, breaking out of Anthony's hold and pushing past all of her friends (minus Rowena) and running down the stairs, tripping on the last one and hitting the stone cold floor. She heard Rowena's high pitched laughter, and looked up and behind her, and saw Cedric kissing her, with more feel than when he kissed Avril. She got to her feet and stood at the bottom of the stairs.
"It's good that we broke up." Cedric said. "Because little did I know, young Rowena had a little crush on me." He smiled wickedly at her and shut the door, leaving her in the darkness. People had poked their heads out of their dorms. It must have been a shock to see Avril crying, she never cried. She was the one who comforted the crying, but none would comfort her. She came to her dorm and entered. Rachel Moore, Stephanie Humphrey, Kathleen Freedman, and Krissy Baker (tom's twin sister), Avril's roommates all jumped out of bed. Avril threw herself onto her bed, and cried. She cried for hours, and her friends never left her side. One would occasionally leave to talk to people trying to get in, and find out the story that was being told.
Unfortunately, the story was that Avril was found quite comfortably with Anthony even when it was obvious that her boyfriend (now ex) was watching. This made Avril even more unhappy. She didn't eat at all that day, and she cried herself to sleep.
IMPORTANT/IMPOTANTE: I made a mistake in Avril's year!! She is a fifth year! If it went the way I have it, Cedric would be in her year but he is a year younger, so I had to move them both up a year. So Avril is fifth, Cedric is Fourth! Everyone got it? No? Too bad!! The sun'll come out tomorrow!
