A/N: Sorry, had a big swim meet this weekend. Even with the big day off and everything I just didn't seem to find any time till now to update.

I'm super sorry; hopefully this being a Melody chapter will make up for it.

:):):):):):)Smiley Face Award I hereby acclaim goes to Ann, the most loyal reviewer a girl could ask for. :):):):):):)

Heehee, I told you I'd give you a award (F.Y.I Ann has reviewed everyone of my chapters, the only reviewer who has, and because of this she is super cool in my books)

And once again for what has to be the millionth time, I don't own any of the H.P characters and I don't own any events or anything else Harry Potterish.

So on with the story!

Chapter Thirteen: Hogsmeade and Frozen Rooms

Melody's P.O.V

Friday passed by rather quickly, mostly because Cedric dragged me from class to class with me nearly asleep on my feet. Trust me, I was feeling like the walking dead. Even with breakfast in me I felt like I had just run a marathon. Also the lectures that every single teacher seemed just overjoyed to give us were sort of bringing me down.

So by the time we reached the dorm room I had totally forgotten about meeting up with Arden and Kayla for homework, as we had planned that lunch time, and had fallen asleep the minute my head hit the pillow.

Saturday morning I came down to breakfast to find the two of them waiting for me at the door, sly grins covering most of their faces. Kayla looked overjoyed about something, while Arden was just staring at me shaking his head.

"Well you don't waste any time do you?" he said grinning that sly grin of his.

"What in the world are you talking about?" I asked still in the dark as they both laughed shaking their heads.

"Oh deary, don't underestimate us. We know exactly what happened." said Kayla before she and Arden went into the Great Hall still snickering.

"What happened?" I asked though they were already at their seats. Shrugging I made my way to the Hufflepuff table where Cedric was already ladling out food for me.

Know the guy a little over three days and already he knows exactly what I like for breakfast. The guy is bloody observant, oh there I go again. For the past three days I've noticed my use of the word 'bloody' has almost multiplied. Oh bullocks.

"Thanks Cedric, so when are we going to this Hogsmeade?" I asked smiling as he dug into his eggs, making the whole thing gentleman like. I probably looked like a bloody monkey as I ate my waffle like things. Frankly I think they are a mix of waffles and pancakes- I still don't have the heart to ask on of the house elves what I always suffer every morning.

He smiled putting down his fork as he answered, as usual no food whatsoever in his mouth. Another gentleman like trait that annoyed me to no end- (though mostly because I never could act like that to save my life, even with me being the more mannered of my three friends), "Anytime you like really, mostly everyone goes down at noon."

"So pretty much when we are done with breakfast?"

"You could say that." he said grinning as I turned back to my food though as always I got distracted by one of the Hufflepuffs telling a joke, and as usual I almost made a complete fool of myself by choking on the wafcake (cool nickname eh?).

Choking Cedric patted my back though I was to busy trying to chew down the rebellious piece to notice. Well I guess I did notice, I mean he was rubbing my back.

"Thanks." I choked out when finally I won the battle, and my windpipe was freed once again.

"Didn't want to show a ghost around Hogsmeade, though anyway of going with you would be enjoyable." said Cedric though I merely rolled my eyes.

"You are such a flirt Cedric. No wonder half the girl population is watching you right now."

I started choking again as about twenty heads wiped around though I was still laughing even as Cedric led me out of the Great Hall shaking his head. He looked a little embarrassed, though I didn't know if it was over me having a outburst about all the googly eyed girls or because he had knocked a goblet of pumpkin juice over as he half catapulted out of the bench in shock.

I was still laughing even as we got outside though he tried to hush me looking rather ruffled.

"I can't believe you didn't notice them!" I cried shaking my head, tears coming to block my vision as I continued to shake from compressed laughter.

"I tend to block out things like that-"

I didn't hear what he said next, my laughing was too loud for my ears to catch anything. I'm pretty sure if a banshee came around the corner I would have drowned out even the highest of her shrieks.

Cedric didn't do anything but continue to shake his head as he led me by the arm toward the main gate, saying something along the lines of us going to Hogsmeade then. Mostly I think he just did this so we could get away from the main doors- The sound of heels on tile kind of hinted why.

The whole girl stockers coming just made it even more hilarious though I kept it to myself as I followed my dear friend who half dragged me all the way out of Hogwarts. Rubbing my eyes with my free hand we walked in silence all the way to the little village, luckily for my lungs sake this also meant that I was no longer acting like a rather psychotic hyena.

The minute we entered the little town I gasped. Sure it wasn't as big as Diagon Alley, but hey the place was cool. In a quaint sort of way.

I'm pretty sure Cedric didn't know what hit him as I sprinted toward a book store, his arm still attached to mine.

"Books! Heaven on earth!" I cried though not so loud as cause the shopkeeper to shush us or anything. I hate whenever old people do that to me, or Kayla. Usually it's Kayla though. Arden is a bloody lost cause.

"I'm guessing you like literature." said Cedric smiling as I looked along the spines of the books, my fingers light as I moved down the isles.

"Oh yes! Though mostly just books on history, or just plain great works. You know like Romeo and Juliet, or the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Har-" I stopped myself in the knick of time though mostly because of the way Cedric's face sort of changed to confusion.

"You haven't read Romeo and Juliet before?" I asked in surprise. He shook his head and I nearly gasped from shock, "Or the Lord of the Rings?"

Still he shook his head making me shake my own. "Oh my gosh you were deprived as a child. Those have to be the best works of all time- I would die if I could write as good as them-"

"You write brilliantly Mel-"

"Cedric these authors are better then brilliant. They spent years on just one book- Well in Tolkien's case. Romeo and Juliet is just a famous play, though brilliantly written all the same."

I stopped though suddenly smiling as I realized what I sounded like, shaking my head I looked up at Cedric who still had that confused look on his face, still one brow raised slightly barely even noticeable it you aren't up close.

"You've turned me into one of you British, listen to me Cedric you're making me have a bloody accent." I said laughing shaking my head, "And this has only been three days. Boy my stay here is going to be interesting. Pretty soon you're going to convert me to eating gravy on my fries-"

"Huh?"

"Oh never mind- Hey where is the novels section?"

I'm sorry to say I was just as hard on Cedric as I am on Arden. Don't really understand why though, I think it's just because we've become such great friends. In three days. Who would have guessed?

I mean the first time I see the guy I scream bloody murder and end up fainting in front of him. Now I'm almost physically never away from his side. The guy walks me to breakfast, to everyone of our classes, all the way back to lunch and then usually drags me to our afternoon classes. Then he drags me back to supper, then back to the dorm room for homework. Which he practically gives me all the answers on- Even with me trying to do it on my own and failing miserably.

Though even after all this I did find myself having him carry all the bags. He is such a gentleman though; he practically was taking things out of my hands whenever I tried to even carry anything.

So by the end of the day I was feeling just as tired as this morning, at least not any worse. And Cedric was looking like a buff man, with all those bags he was carrying. For a guy even that was a lot of junk. Most of it he bought me though. Useless stuff like novels I may never read, chocolate, and my all time favorite miniature statue of nightingale that actually flies around your hand magically when you set its pedestal on your palm.

By the time we stopped at the ice cream parlor I was exhausted. Not as exhausted though as to not notice a certain Chinese girl.

Cho Chang, the one girl I was certain was capable of killing me at that moment. Sure she had glared a lot before- But there was something in her slit like eyes at the moment we sat down that screamed 'avada kedavra'. Shaking my head I turned to watch Cedric who was totally oblivious once more, staring at the menu.

"Would you like to order?" asked a lady, most likely one of the servers in the small parlor. She hurriedly took our order scampering off.

"So what do you want to do after this? Go back to the castle?" asked Cedric.

"Sure I guess. Unless you want to do anything else?"

"No I think we've pretty much done everything that Hogsmeade has to offer- Though if you want we can do it again-"

"You're willing to carry those bags around the whole of Hogsmeade- again?" I asked smiling as he smiled slightly.

"Yes if you want to."

"Your too sweet for your well-being, you'd probably break your back if we did that again," I said laughing even with the glaring eyes on the back of my head, "Besides, I probably should go see Kayla and Arden- If they're back that is."

"Alright then, its settled. Though keep tomorrow night free."

"Why?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out."

Cho didn't look any nicer even as were leaving- Once again together. She was practically sending death rays out of her eyes as we made our way out of the parlor. Only when I was safely back in the castle did I once again feel like my life was in danger.

Arden and Kayla were in our private dorm as I had suspected, bags and bags around them. Cedric left the bags on the floor and left, after having me promise to come down to dinner when I was done. Something else he said about ice cream not being a proper meal- Seriously he was acting like my mother.

Well Arden and Kayla both grinned at each other Kayla smirking terribly.

"So did you two have fun? We didn't see you in Hogsmeade at all." said Arden, his right eyebrow raised as he always did when he was hinting at something.

"Oh we spent most of the time in the bookstore-"

"The bookstore?" asked Kayla, "Wow I didn't take you as the rebellious type."

"I'm rebellious because I went into a bookstore?" I asked in confusion.

"That Cedric guy is really not a good role model for you." said Arden clucking his tongue, though not in such a bad criticizing way or with any sign of concern.

"Because he let me go into the bookstore?"

"Jeez, even I wouldn't do that in a bookstore."

"Alright what are you guys talking about? Because I'm certain we aren't on the same track-"

"You snogging the Hufflepuff silly-"said Arden like I was dumb.

"EXCUSE ME! YOU THINK ME AND CEDRIC-"

I jumped to my feet in protest but they both looked at with surprised.

"So you didn't make out with the boy?" asked Kayla in shock.

"No! We're just friends!"

"So I take it you two weren't in a broom closet last night? We both thought that was why you weren't here." said Arden though he didn't look as relieved as I would have thought. Actually he looked rather happy sending a side look to Kayla who looked slightly moody all of a sudden.

"Of course not! I just fell asleep-"

I stopped though when some interaction went on between the two of them. Kayla took out a pouch from her pocket and threw it at Arden who caught it with his awesome reflexes.

"What-" I started but Kayla scowled ignoring me.

"You couldn't have been ultra bad for once. Arden the bets still not over." said Kayla glaring slightly at Arden who shrugged.

"Twenty-four hours left. Getting nervous?" questioned Arden.

"She'll come through-"

"Alright I don't even want to know what's going on- I'm leaving." I said getting up.

Turning I made my way to the door but not before putting two and two together.

"PLEASE TELL ME YOU TWO DIDN'T MAKE A BET!"

"Busted." said Arden right as Kayla looked at me innocently. She then glared at Arden before ducking behind the couch with him as water flew out of my hands soaking the coach.

"Two can play at that!" cried Arden laughing as he emerged, his head and shirt seemingly soaked.

Suddenly he sent out a vine which whipped around my legs tripping me.

"How did you do that!" I cried in surprise.

"You missed a lot. He did the same thing to Malfoy earlier-" said Kayla before she raised her arm- "He watch this!"

Suddenly flame shot out of her hand into the fireplace burning up the logs. When it was barely a shimmer it burst to life turning into two people dancing.

We all watched the dancing flames, which were literally dancing. They looked like ballerinas if I had to guess, and even the girl had a tutu-

"Oh great. I don't see you guys for less then twenty-four hours and you three get new powers. Just great!"

Screaming this I gasped as the whole room froze. Even our feet. Tugging I realized I was stuck, my shoes were laced, and tight on my feet as I wore them often because they didn't make my feet look so big. So they were a size smaller then usual.

So I was completely stuck standing a foot or so from the door. Kayla who had been kneeling near the fire had her hands frozen to the ground, as well as her legs. Arden was halfway standing and therefore looking as if he were ready to fall on his face.

"Great, now what are we going to do?"
