AN: Hi guys, sorry sorry sorry that this took sooooooooo long. I'm really glad you're still interested. Thanks for all the nice reviews... sorry to make you wait this long! Anyway, yeah I've had these big evil important exams on for school and I'm still in the middle of them but I figured I should post this for you coz it's been long enough and I left it a bit of a cliffhanger hey? OK, well here goes. Just a warning this chapter is really really short (sorry) – like I said I've had these big evil exams and studying has taken up all my time so that's why it's short. It just sort of clears things up (kinda!?). Initially I wanted this to be the last chapter but I'll see what you think. Anyway, I shan't hold you up any longer so enjoy…

CHAPTER 18: Changes

It is amazing how quickly people can break up with you. Cedric and I had just left the Great Hall when he pulled me to the side of the corridor.

"Look Angie, this isn't going to work any longer." He said, although he didn't sound too upset about it.

"What? Why?" I asked. What was he talking about?

"I can't just stand here and watch you have some thing with another guy, OK. Maybe other guys like that but I don't. I know what's going on and I don't want to impugn on your relationship any longer."

"Relationship? What are you talking about?" He sure had some wires crossed somewhere.

"You and Wood. It's pretty obvious." OK, now I was getting mad. He was dragging Wood into this when he had nothing to do with it. Cedric had just become jealous.

"Look, Wood and I are just friends. If you weren't so blind with jealousy you would see that," I said angrily although my heart wasn't in it. Hadn't I just been questioning how I felt, this morning?

Cedric looked sad but serious. "You can lie to me Ange but don't lie to yourself. It's not worth it." He said. He turned to walk away.

"So that's it?" I said, I could feel tears in my eyes.

"Ange, go get him. I know he will make you happier than I ever will. I can see just by the way you look at him. We were just a thing before, but that was it. It wasn't going to last. We're too different. You and him are much stronger and I'm not going to be the one to stand in the way of that. It's been great but we can move on. I'm glad that I got to know you the way I did. I'll see you around then Angelina." With that he turned and walked down the corridor.

I went to yell something at him but I was lost for words. Where had this Cedric come from. It seemed as though in the last 2 minutes he had grown up. I couldn't even protest to what he said because deep down inside I knew that his words held some truth. It had been good with Cedric but it was never going to last. But had I screwed things up with Wood? I realised now that I did have feelings for Wood and that I had had them all along. But was it too late? There was only one way to find out.

I took one last glance down the corridor but Cedric was gone. I turned my back and walked towards the Gryffindor common room. I was leaving that part of my life behind. I was going to start over and do what I should have done a long time ago. I had made wrong decisions but this was definitely the first step to making a right decision. Hopefully I wasn't too late.

::::

Well there it is… see I wanted to leave it as that, you know with the whole ambiguity thing and you can just kind of make your own mind up as to what happened… but somehow I don't think you'll like that idea, hey? What do you reckon??? Let me know by reviewing (please). If I do keep it going its gonna take a bit until I get some more inspiration and some more time. But I'll try my best. Hope you liked it anyway… thanks for all the support in the past. Thanks guys, love L.A
