A/N: Now the P.O.V is back to Melody. It sort of switches in a pattern you see. Oh yeah, Cedric hopefully will have a visit in this chap, though I'm not giving much away yet for the plot. Finally thought it up though! J
And once again before I forget, I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. J.K owns everything. (sobbing uncontrollably in the background). Anyway on with the story now from soccer girl's (new nick name cool eh?) point of view.
"Wishes are sometimes better left unsaid"
Chapter Five: Eggs with some Diggory mixed in
Melody's P.O.V
I'm used to the short pants thing, but this was a totally different matter. When I was little, and my Dad wasn't the arse he is today, I used to wear them every single day. Even in winter I wore the shortest shorts they sold at the Mall. But walking between to very long tables in nothing but ducky pajamas (which have short shorts and a spaghetti string top) and a black robe isn't a real good ensemble. I felt bare naked, like I was walking down the red carpet in my undies.
Arden on the other hand was loving it. At school he is a major player, so the idea of all the girl staring at him didn't much damperhis step. Then again he did have his major cool glasses on and his hair didn't look like crap. Like mine probably does... Lucky bugger was wearing one of those undershirts that guys always have on. The exact one I bet thatme and Kayla alwayssteal from him because they're so comfy. He alsowas wearinglong pajama pants, blue ones that have the strap around his middle that looks like the strap of a pair of boxers.His legs weren't showing thelucky devil.
Kayla though it seemed was in the same problemo as me. Though she was much to busytalking to that Harry Potter guy, who was flirting with her a lot. Though she didn't have a clue as always,so wrapped up in her own little world.
Rolling my eyes at her (though she probably didn't even catch that) I continued to walk next to Ron, whose face was about the same color as atomato. I didn't blame him much though, I probably looked just as bad.
"Here's our table," said Hermione smiling at us pointing to some seats, "You can sit here if you three like."
I nodded sitting down just about the same time the dead silence went to a humming of conversation. Ardengrinned after sitting down pointing to the piles of food likea kid who just unwrapped a gameboy advance on Christmas.
"GRUB! My life has been saved! Thank you!" he cried kissing Hermione on the cheek before tearing into the nearest plate to his.
"Your welcome." mumbled Hermione as Kayla laughed from next to me.
"Looks like someone has a little crush on our big brother, he'll break her poor heart." whispered Kayla.
Shaking my head I gave her my famous quirked eyebrow look, "Should I be saying the same thing about you?"
"Hmm?" she asked between a mouthful of mashed something, whatever that yellow stuff that the English people eat is.
"Nothing." I said rolling my eyes and turning back to my plate.
Everyone on the table was practically watching every move we made as we ate, though the red haired girl who sat infront of us didn't say much. Only that she was Ron's sister Ginny, and that the boy next to her was Neville. Then the rest of the time she sat glaring at Kayla, who didn't even have a idea someone was watching her as she continued to talk to me about how the hall should have better tables to eat on. Then again she probably didn't have a clue that the Neville character was giving herthe eye as well.
"How can you possiblydrink so much?" cried Hermione as she watched Arden down his seventh glass of pumpkin juice.
"Hmm? Oh, nah this is nothing. You really should see me on New Years. That cider Kayla makes is great- Though her brother almost always spikes it."
"Spikes it? He puts spike into the punch? Wouldn't that hurt to drink?" questioned Ron his brows furrowed.
I was about to set him streat though when a voice behind me said, "Nice nightwear."
See I get scared easily, so the fact that I twirled around giving a squeak is a normal act of mine. Though seeing only Cedric, in robes that made him look rather good I must say, I was about as freaked out as a mouse who just spotted a cat who wants to eat him. Though that could just be because he is rather handsome-
"Hell Mr. Diggory." I said gulping down the eggs I had had in my mouth as he continued to smile down at me.
"Not going to start screaming at the mere sight of me again?" he questioned smirking slightly.
"Oh, of course not." I said feeling a blush spread across my cheeks as Arden began to crack up. "Your face isn'tas scary indoors."
"Oh? Well then Potter," he said turning to Harry who was sitting on the other side of Kayla, "It looks like we'll be having fun next game."
Harry laughed as I merely blushed even more.
"Well, I better get back to my table. I just wanted to know if you three were feeling any better." he said looking down at me.
"We're feeling much better, thank you Mr. Diggory." I said smiling as Cedric nodded.
"Right, well then good day." he said nodding before he turned as if to walk off.
Instead to my surprise he turned back around and bent down so close to my ear that I could practically feel his breath on my cheek.
"You can call me Cedric you know." hemerely saidbefore hewalked off to sit at his house table.
"Wow, looks like Mel snagged a hunk." mumbled Kayla so that I only heard.
"Feeling better?" asked Ron looking at us as Cedric sat down out of earshot, "From what?"
We all looked at each other in panic, though Kayla was the first to speak thinking on her feet as always. You really should hear the stuff she comes up with in school.
"We sort of had a little problem with a port key," she said biting the side of her gums slightly, "My brother Matt, he's a senior at our old school, sort of jinxed our port key with a confusion spell as a joke."
"However did he do that? I thought it was near impossible to jinx port keys unless it was to send them somewhere else-" said Hermione though Kayla cut in her brown eyes wide.
"Oh no! My brother is a genius. He did it- Though it being a port key of course it didn't work right," she said hurriedly shaking her head dramatically, "We landed and were hit with the spell, so that when poor Melody saw Diggory-"
"I thought he was some awful monster from the black lagoon." I said smiling.
"Or another goose lamp." muttered Arden laughing.
The three others looked at him oddly though me and Melody merely started laughing.
"It's a inside joke, we might tell you one of these days if you like." said Kayla.
"Wonder what they're talking about up there." said Ron nodding toward the teachers.
Sure enough they were all congregated in a corner talking in what had to be hushed voices. I stifled a laugh as I saw one of the smaller of the teacher in the middle of a large circle of them, craning his neck upward to hear them.
"That has to be Hagrid," whispered Kayla in my ear nodding toward a large man. Make that a huge humongous man, "He's got to be at least twenty feet."
"Dangit." muttered Arden suddenly causing us to turn our gaze away from the teachers and to the table.
"Where did all the food go?" he whined. Hermione laughed handing him a roll from her plate.
"Thank you milady." he said causing me and Kayla to roll our eyes as he ate the fist size roll in a bite.
"What a pig." said Kayla looking atArden oddly causing me to laugh.
"You think they're talking about us?" I asked Hermione who was still blushing madly from next to Arden.
"Most likely. What did Dumbledore tell you when you first got here?"
"Oh pretty much where we were going to sleep and-" said Arden his brows scrunched. "Nope, that's it. Some other useless stuff to- If only I could remember."
He said the last part after sending me and Kayla an odd look.
"Yep that's pretty much all he said." I added smiling slightly as I tried to finish off my breakfast.
Suddenly the whole hall went quiet, for the second time that morning. Looking back up where the teachers sat I found that they were all back in their seats though Dumbledore was now standing.
"I am happy to announce that we will be housing three new students for some time before you all go onto your classes," he said in his new never heard by my ears voice.
I blinked and I must admit blushed as everyone in the hall turned to look at us.
"Now that that is said would everyone please go on to their classes. Tardy slips are still going to be given out despite this delay, though less freely." said Dumbledore winking at us.
Everyone got up and started moving at once causing me, Arden and Melody to look at one another. Hermione even stood up slipping out of the bench as her face started to return to a somewhat normal color.
"We better go Harry," said Hermione grabbing Harry's arm from next to Kayla, before turning to us, "Goodbye! We'll try to find you three later!"
"Yeah goodbye-" said Ron before he himself was drug out of his seat by his collar by Hermione who looked to be ready to run a marathon to their classrooms.
After they left, in a somewhat comical way that if they hadn't been our friends I'm sure we would have laughed, Arden turned to us his face as usual looking as if he was ready for a major breakdown.
"What the heck are we going to do?" asked Arden leaning forward, "It isn't like we have any classes to go to here!"
"Did he say three new students?" asked Kayla right afterward. "If my ears weren't deceiving me then that might mean that we do have classes to go to!"
"Lets just sit and wait guys, whatever he wants us to do he can tell us then. Besides, it isn't like we can go to class in our pajamas." I said shaking my head.
"Well you couldn't. I don't think any of the guys would be able to concentrate." said Arden grinning as I kicked him under the table, though in the process bumping into Kayla who began to scowl.
Kayla who was still scowling only took about three minutes of me and Arden kicking each other before she pushed us both back with her elbows her face looking on the verge of murderous.
"Break it up you two," she said moodily between her teeth her brown eyespractically sending bothme and Arden death rays, "Can the two of you just sit still untill Dumbledore or somebody comes and gets us?"
By the time she got us to sit still though the whole great hall had cleared out, except for Dumbledore who came walking up to us still in his signature weird robes. Behind him was Hagrid, looking like he was about to split his face in half from laughing.
"Hello." we all said staring up at the half giant with some awe. Any guy that big should get some serious respect.
"May I introduce to you Rubeus Hagrid." said Dumbledore pointing at each of us, "He is our Care of Magical Creatures teacher."
"Hello." We all said again edgily looking at one another.
"Now I know that all of your things on your way here were destroyed." said Dumbledore looking at us three meaningfully, "So Hagrid here has agreed to accompany you to Diagon Alley."
"For a shopping spree?" I asked hopefully smiling gleefully as he nodded.
"Oh! Sweet." said Kayla her awful mood subsiding rather quickly.
"Sounds wonderful, thank you sir." said Arden though he was still looking up at Hagrid. I grinned before looking away, anyone taller then Arden always made him edgy.
"What about-" said Kayla though Dumbledore interrupted her raising a hand.
"All expenses I will pay. That is not debatable." he said waving a hand as I tried to object.
Since getting into a argument with the only wizard that could possibly have a chance of sending you home was not a good idea I merely sighed saying,"Thank you sir."
"Wait- Does that mean you'll buy mea broomstick?" cried Arden happilycausing me and Melody to burst out laughing.
