A/N: Enjoy! Finally a chap where Cedric can be in it again…. Sorry about the wait! All questions will be answered soon! Or at least in the near future. Of course I have to add that I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. I only own Arden, Melody and Kayla.

Chapter Eight: Dinner Conversations

Kayla's P.O.V:

Melody was still shaking slightly when we got back to our rooms, after ditching Hagrid somewhere near the front doorway. Though he didn't seem to mind, the man seemed rather happy to get away from us.

We all sat for sometime on the couch just staring into the fireplace and at each other. I was the first to break the silence saying, "We should go get some dinner."

"Food does sound good." mumbled Arden clutching his middle, his eyes looking toward the portrait hole.

"But what if- What if something bad happens like at those shops? I don't want to be responsible for destroying a whole castle!" cried Melody shaking her head. "No, I won't be going. You two can go on without me."

"Alright." said Arden standing moving toward the door.

"Arden!" I cried grabbing his arm before turning to Melody, "Melody we can't possibly leave without you."

"We can't?" asked Arden. Ignoring him I merely punched him in the arm still staring down at Melody, who was still crunched up in a ball on the couch.

"Come'n, lets get our mind off all this stuff. I promise when we're done eating we can come back." I said.

Nodding Melody stood, however waveringly and made her way over to us still nodding her head.

Leading us by the arm, Arden practically dragged us all the way to the Great Hall, the whole while grumbling about food. Though this was usual, his stomach usually took a higher seat over everything else in life. Though the whole while we walked that strange looked stayed on his face so that his gray eyes seemed more crinkled on the edges then normal.

Reaching the Great Hall Arden practically shouted, "JOY! GRUB!"

Everyone turned and looked at us only causing me and Melody to blush horribly.

Sitting down next to Hermione, he left us to sit next to Ron and Harry who both were laughing at us.

"Seems Arden hasn't changed much since this morning, what did you three do all day anyway?" asked Harry turning to look at me as I put my other leg over the bench sighing as I watched Arden shovel in food.

"Shopping. Since all our stuff was lost we need new- Just about everything." I said shaking my head and putting some food on my plate- Then turning to put food on Melody's plate when it didn't look like she was going to make any moves whatsoever this century.

"Your worse then Ron," muttered Hermione as she watched Arden shovel in food.

"Huh?" asked Ron and Harry at the same time the two red heads looking up sharply at Hermione from their food.

Laughing we continued eating till we were just about bursting from to much pumpkin pastries. Which sounds really gross- But actually tastes like heaven.

"So who did you go with shopping?" asked Hermione turning to look at Melody.

When she didn't respond I looked over to realize Melody was staring at something- Or someone in the table next to ours.

"Earth to Melody! Come in Melody!" said Arden waving a hand in front of her face.

"What?" she asked nearly falling out of her seat.

"Who were you staring at?" asked Arden his eyebrow still raised in his amused sort of way.

"Cedric, he's been looking over here the whole meal," she mumbled her gaze shifting back over there, "I can't really understand what he's looking at."

Arden and I shared a look rolling our eyes, though she didn't seem to have noticed that.

"No, can't imagine that at all-"I said shaking my head.

"I think he coming over here." she cried looking down at her plate.

"Don't worry you look like a mess." I said grinning as she glared at me.

"I'm not worried about that- Just what if he asks more questions?" she asked though Hermione merely sent us a weird look. 'Great she doesn't forget anything.' I thought before turning around to see the Hufflepuff Quidditch Captain coming our way.

"Hello Melody, everyone." said Cedric grinning down at us, though more particularly Melody when he reached us.

"Hello Cedric." we all said our eyes on Melody and Cedric.

"Hi, Cedric." said Melody after us looking up at him.

"So how has your day been? I expect you haven't been in any classes so far, I didn't see you in the hallways." he said smiling down at her through chocolate brown eyes.

"No, we've been in Diagon Alley." she said smiling up at him nervously.

"Shopping?" he asked smiling.

"Yes, we lost everything on our way here." she said smiling up at him slightly.

"That must have been fun, you know a lot of Saturdays Third years and above are allowed to go to Hogsmeade. I was wondering if you'd like to hang out with me there Melody." asked Cedric.

"I'd love to." said Melody smiling at him.

"Good." said Cedric smiling again. "Well I best get going, tomorrow will be coming soon. Goodnight."

Grinning me and Arden watched Melody gaze at him as he left the hall.

"Wow girl, you snagged the boy after just a day of being here." I said smirking as Melody turned red.

"Don't be silly, we're just friends. Besides, he probably wants to just find out why I screamed bloody murder at our first meeting-"

"Excuses! Excuses! I'm a guy and I know that look," said Arden laughing, "That boys got it bad."

"You two are being silly! Why would he like me? He hardly knows me," said Melody standing up, "I'll see you two later. I'm going to bed before either of you makes even worse accusations then that even."

With that she stormed out of the hall, the air behind her practically causing her robes to billow out behind her.

"Well good job Arden," I said turning to him, "Now she won't be talking to us for a while."

"She clearly likes him though! I thought stating the obvious-"

"Arden girls sometimes don't want to hear stuff like that," said Hermione shaking her head at him. "Till she knows her own feelings she won't be anyway open to the fact of him liking her, though I daresay I have never seen him act like this."

"Nor I, though Hermione we don't really know him all that well." said Harry, before a grin broke up across his face. "Well at least Cedric gave me a good idea. You two really should go with Hermione and Ron to Hogsmeade this weekend."

"What about you?" I asked while Arden sent me a 'your such a idiot' look.

"I didn't turn in my permission slip. My Uncle wouldn't sign it." said Harry sadly.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I said shaking my head. "That isn't all that fair."

"Well we best get moving, goodnight." said Arden standing.

"Yes, goodnight." I said standing and following Arden out of the Great Hall.
