A/N: about the whole Cedric-Cho cousin thing.....the truth will come about
eventually.
~¤~ Christmas Eve ~¤~
"Elle," Avril said. "Elle!" she tried to get her attention, but it wasn't working, so she sat in front of her. Finally, Elle couldn't ignore her any more.
"What?" Elle said sternly.
"What's the matter with you lately?"
"Like you didn't know."
"Actually I don't."
"You are." Elle sighed.
"Me? What did I do?"
"You kissed him."
"I take you didn't see me trying to shove him off me."
"Well, I didn't exactly see you two. Cedric was the first one."
"So you have been believing the rumors that I kissed Anthony." Elle nodded. "Well, I didn't. I asked him about Cedric, then he kissed me." Avril looked into Elle's eyes. She wanted her to see that she wasn't lying.
"And what about Flint in the library?"
"I punched him. And a couple other people." Elle laughed.
"Well then, I think we need a word with our little Anthony." Elle suggested.
Avril knocked on the dorm door across from hers. Anthony answered. She and Elle bust in and folded their arms.
"What the-" Anthony started.
"Why?" Elle said. Anthony raised his eyebrows.
"you kissed me Anthony. I want to know why." Avril said, her eyes narrowed.
"You might want to sit."
"I'm fine! Thank you."
"Diggory."
"What?"
"He paid me to kiss you. So he could brake up with you without hurting you." Avril's jaw dropped.
"Well, he hurt me more than if he had just ended it. I was gonna do it any way that day. I was gonna ask you to do it." Anthony lowered his head. "Oh well. Come. Practice time." And Avril led the three outside, for practice.
~*~
On the way outside, Avril was held back by her Gryffindor components.
"Oy, Avril!" Katie called. Avril told Anthony that she would see him outside with the rest of the team.
"Yes?" Avril asked.
"You do realize that you booked the pitch for every hour of every day for the holidays?" Fred said quickly.
"Fred, what did we talk about before?"
"To let you do all the talking." He sighed.
"Well, my team has only had three practices so far, and we do have a game the week after the holidays!" Avril pointed out.
"Yes, you do. Against us! And it's not fair that you deprive us of our practices!" Wood said.
"Well, it's not like I'm going to kill you all if you use the pitch. Honestly! We only practice for two hours. So at half past four, you can use it. That should be sufficient time." Wood nodded, and walked off. Avril rolled her eyes and ran out the door to the locker rooms to change.
~*~
Avril worked her team hard. Especially Cedric. He couldn't even walk afterwards. After a quick shower, she hid in the broom closet waiting for Cedric. Luckily, he was the last to leave. She stepped out and stood in his way.
"What are you doing?" Cedric asked as he tried to get passed her. But she was too quick, almost as fast as she was on her broom.
"I know Cedric." She said coldly, her usually happy bright blue eyes, dark and cold, almost unnatural. Cedric's eyes became the same. He glared at her. She became uneasy. He came at her, and she backed up.
"Cedric, no. I don't hate you it's just..." she hit the wall.
"just what?" he hissed. Avril whimpered. "Scared?" Avril nodded. He advanced in her. "So that creep told you?"
"He's not a creep." Avril corrected, becoming more calmer.
"Well, he kissed you when I paid him."
"Cedric, people are still lining up paying me to kiss them."
"Rowena was right, you really are a whore."
"If anyone is a whore she is."
"Don't call her a whore."
"Why not? Afraid of the truth? Afraid of the fact that you just realized I'm better than her..." Avril had obviously gone passed the limit. Cedric came right up in her face, beyond furious. Avril smiled, which was not the right thing to do.
"I'm going to kill you." Cedric said. Avril raised her arms to block her face, but he grabbed her wrists and pulled her away from the wall. "You wanna play? All right then." Avril screamed, he threw her on the floor., and jumped on top of her, and began to strangle her. She thrashed her legs and arms, but nothing would work. Everything began to turn black, but then Cedric was pulled off of her, and she heard a loud smack, and then a large thud as something ht the floor.
