A/N: Sorry this chapters really short. I'll try tomake the next one longer (if i can) reveiws are much apprciated. Oh and I' m not totally sure about Charlie the way Oliver says how charlie went off to chase dragons instead made it sound like charlie was at the school Oliver's previous year (which would make it his fourth) and i heard somewhere that Charlie was captin before Oliver so that's why Charlie's still in school.
Cedar sat on her bed in the room she was staying at the Leaky Cauldron. Kitt was laying in her lap happily purring. Oliver sat on the floor reading a book about quidditch. She knew some people called him obsessive, but she knew he just wanted to become a better player and if that meant reading up on different strategies then that's what he would do.
She was excited to be going back to Hogwarts tomorrow. It was the one place she could truly call home. An awkward feeling came over her. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and sick to her stomach. She felt like she was in pain and than everything vanished. Oliver broke away from his book and looked up at her. "Are you alright?" he asked. His accent made her feel better. She didn't know why it always did when he spoke.
"I.. I'm fine," she replied.
Kitt sat up in her lap and looked up at her strangely. Coking her head at Cedar. "Looks like Kitt thinks otherwise," said Oliver.
Alaina's voice came from outside the room. "Kids come eat some dinner,"
Cedar hadn't realized it was dark outside. She began to get up and swung her feet over the end of the bed after moving Kitt. She placed them on the floor and fell forward. Oliver caught her in his arms. His eyes caught hers. They were the most beautiful and unique eyes he had ever seen. With a small border of olive green around the pupil while the majority of it was a teal color and when the light hit it just right it almost looked metallic. It was finished by a small border of dark grey. Sometimes Oliver felt as if he get lost in her eyes. "I guess my feet fell asleep," said Cedar breaking the silence.
"Uh, yeah," replied Oliver breaking eye contact.
They left the room and headed down stairs to eat. Oliver kept thinking of how he could feel so uncomfortable in that situation, when he and Cedar had been going out since last year. His thoughts were disturbed when his mother started talking to him, "Oliver, dear. I expect that you will take good care of Cedar this year. After all her father left her in our care last. It's to be expected."
"Of, course, mother. How could I not," he replied and gave Cedar a small smile.
The rest of dinner was finished in silence and after that Cedar and Oliver went straight to bed due to the early start tomorrow.
It was the next day when Oliver's mother knocked on her door and told her to get up. Cedar was to comfortable and turned in the bed telling herself she'd get up in a minute. She felt Kitt get up who was laying beside her and stretch. She then felt Kitt's paws walk across her face. "Okay Kitt, I'm up," Cedar said and sat up in bed. She watched as Kitt laid back down in the upper corner of the bed. "Oh, so you get to go back to sleep."
Kitt let out a small meow. Cedar got up and rummaged through her trunk pulling out her cloths to wear. She quickly put them on and put the remainder of her stuff in her trunk so she only had to worry about Kitt after breakfast.
It was hours later and they were standing on platform 93/4. People were bustling around everywhere. "You kids better go and find a spot on the train, it will be leaving any minute," said Alaina. She hugged her son goodbye and than Cedar and Oliver rushed to get on the train. As they began to walk down the corridor looking for a compartment the train lurched forward. After a minute or two. They found a compartment that contained to red headed boys. Oliver slid open the door and stepped inside, followed by Cedar. "Charlie, Percy," Cedar said in greeting.
"Finally, I was wondering when you two would find your way here. Percy we need to talk about the team, could you leave us momentarily?" asked Charlie.
"Of course, besides it's probably best I check to see if Fred and George are behaving," Percy said and left the compartment. Oliver and Cedar proceeded to put their luggage in the luggage beds above and than sat down Cedar letting Kitt out to stretch.
"So, I presume you both had a nice summer," said Charlie.
"Yes," both Cedar and Oliver replied.
"Anyways, we are the only remaining people of last years team. I do not think it necessary that you two have to have tryouts it may not be fair, but I believe we should just concentrate on feeling in missing posts, which at this time is two chasers and both beaters. I would like you two to come to the tryouts when I start them because I want us three to collectively chose who will fill the spots. I don't want to take the weight all on myself. Plus I figure that if we decided as a group than it shows we can work together as a team," finished Charlie.
"You really have this thought out. When were you thinking about starting tryouts?" asked Oliver.
"Easy, Oliver lets not jump the gun. We have to let people settle in first, but I know Fred and George want to tryout and we all know the odds of them making Gryffindor, so I said it was alright with me and warned about a collective decision between us three. They didn't seem to mind. I'm guessing you practiced over the summer Oliver,"
"Of course. I wanted to get some different skills and strategies down."
"Sorry about this talk. I was going to decided to do the other day in Diagon Ally, but than things got busy and I decided to wait and stick to the original plan."
The compartment door slid open and in walked a group of Slytherins among them was Marcus Flint. "What do we have here," said one who's short black hair looked as though it was plastered to his head. "We have of course a Weasley. Can't go anywhere with running into one of them anymore."
"Watch it Damask,"
The black haired Slytherin backed off, but this didn't stop Marcus. "Ahhh look it's Ames and Wood. Now wouldn't make that make for a good family tree if you two got hitched,"
At this Cedar had, had with bullies. She had taken it all summer and she wasn't going to take it from these people. She stood up and firmly placed herself in front of Flint, "You know why your face is so messed up Marcus,"
Marcus and the other Slytherins snickered, "Why?" he asked.
"Because you've made the majority of school so mad at you they had to take their anger out at something," she said and with that she punched Marcus square in the jaw.
Marcus stumbled backward into the group of slytherins. While Oliver and Charlie stifled their laughs. Marcus stood up and came towards Cedar, "Why you filthy little Mud-,"
Cedar put her hand out to stop him, "Now, Marcus I wouldn't say anything or might get another get another one coming at you."
Marcus turned around and walked off with the other slytherins. Cedar slid the compartment door shut again and took her seat next Oliver. A feeling came over her again and she felt as if something terrible was going to happen sometime, but she didn't know when. "That was brilliant Cedar," said Charlie the sound of his voice seemed to wash the feeling away.
"Thanks," replied Cedar. Kitt was looking out the window watching the scenery. Cedar wished she could be like that not have anything to worry about. She felt tired suddenly. "You know what you two I'm kind of tired, so I think I'll close my eyes for awhile." With that Cedar was asleep.
