Bridgette, Tina and the Diggorys left the French Riviera two days later. Bridgette stayed in the suite the entire time, not talking to her mother or Cedric or anybody.
Her mother was furious with her to say the least, but she didn't care. She just wanted to go back to New York, back to Anthony. She would even give up her stupid magic if it meant she could go back.
When she walked into her house she nearly screamed: her father was setting up the computer...that meant she could use AIM and talk to all her friends from New York. "Daddy, I love you!" she exclaimed, running over and hugging him.
"Nice to see you again too sweetie, now tell me, what's this that your mother was telling me about you not cooperating?" Roger asked, sitting down and gazing at her.
"Oh, it was nothing, really," Bridgette said quickly, nearly lunging at the computer but Roger held her back.
"You're going to tell me what happened, or no computer," he said.
"But you probably already know anyways!" Bridgette whined. She caught her father's stern look and sighed, "I walked out on some stupid home video and mom had a cow, but dad it was embarrassing and I was not going to sit through it! There's a certain thing as going too far to try to force your daughter to get along with a boy she hasn't seen for 12 years and really couldn't care about at all!"
"You could have at least sat through it...the Diggorys mean a lot to your mother and I, at least try to get along with them," Roger said calmly.
"I couldn't finish that movie dad! You wouldn't either if you were naked for like half of it!" Bridgette exclaimed, "And I know the Diggory's are sooooo important to you two, but guess what? Anthony's important to me and you took me away from him and made me break up with him!"
"A long distance relationship would have been hard on the both of you, you know that!" Roger exclaimed.
"So what? I didn't care! He didn't care!" Bridgette exclaimed, tears pouring out of her eyes as she yelled at her dad.
"He would have found some other girl and he would have broken your heart," Roger said. "And you will NOT raise your voice at me!"
"I'll raise my voice all I want!" Bridgette shouted before storming off and up to her room, brushing past her mom on the way up, slamming her door at the top.
"I don't know what we're going to do about her," Tina sighed, sitting down with Roger.
"Well, in a few weeks she'll be off to Hogwarts and we won't have to deal with her until June," he said.
"What if she runs away from Hogwarts and tries to go back to New York?" Tina said suddenly.
"She won't...she's not stupid Tina," Roger said in reply.
"I wouldn't put it past her," Tina said, sighing. "She hates us for bringing her here."
"She'll be fine once she gets used to England again Tina, don't worry," Roger said, smiling at his wife before finishing a few things on the computer.
"Tina? Roger?" Diane said, knocking lightly on their door before walking in. "I just want to apologize for forcing Bridgette to watch those tapes.
"Oh, Di, it's not your fault, not at all," Tina replied.
"It's just those teenage years I guess," Diane said, smiling softly, "well, Amos is waiting at home, I'll catch you later."
"Bye, Di...I'd better get dinner ready," Tina said, disappearing into the kitchen as Diane left.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bee...come over here sweetie," Tina said, ushering her daughter over to the stool where she sat, Cedric already next to her.
"What is it mummy?" Bee asked, anxious to go back outside.
"Well...you, daddy and I are going away for a while," Tina said slowly.
"Away to where mummy?" Bee asked her eyes wide and curious.
"Well sweetie...away to America, how would you like that? To live in New York?" Tina asked, trying to make this easier on Bridgette.
Her eyes lit up and she nodded. "Can Ceddie and his mummy and daddy come too?" she asked, smiling widely.
"Well, no. I'm sorry Bee, but this is just for the three of us, Daddy, you, and me," Tina said.
Bridgette's smile immediately faded and her bottom lip started to quiver. "I don't wanna go!" she cried.
"Oh Bee, we have to! Your daddy's got a wonderful opportunity sweetie, and we'll get to visit! I promise!" Tina said, trying to console her 3 year old as best as she could.
"I don't wanna leave Ceddie!" Bridgette exclaimed, throwing her small arms around Cedric.
She looked back at her mom, her large green eyes misted over with tears that threatened to spill out the next second, "I'm sorry Bee, but we have to. We're leaving in a week sweetie," Tina told her.
Bridgette started to cry loudly, getting up and running out of the room. Cedric immediately stood up and ran to her and hugged her tightly.
"I DON'T WANNA GO!" She wailed, breaking out of Cedric's grasp and falling onto the floor, pounding her fists on it and kicking anything she could with her feet, "I DON'T WANT TO GOOOO!"
Tina ran over to her and picked her up. "I know, sweetie, but we have to...we'll visit every chance we get, I promise!" she exclaimed, trying to calm Bridgette down.
"Nooooo!" she cried, though slowly starting to resist her mum less and less until she was simply sobbing in her arms.
"You've had enough for now, I think its nap time for you," Tina said softly, walking to Bridgette's room and setting her down on her bed, Bridgette's thumb immediately going into her mouth as she curled up. Tina smiled and looked down as she felt a tugging on her jeans.
Cedric looked up at her and she sighed, leaning down so that they were eye level. "I don't want Bee Bee to leave," he said quietly.
"Oh Cedric," Tina simply said before Cedric started crying also.
She lifted him up and put him in bed beside Bridgette. He stopped crying and closed his eyes, his small arm around Bridgette.
It nearly broke Tina's heart, separating the two, but a deal like this only came around once in a lifetime, and she knew why Roger had to take it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bridgette immediately shot up, breathing heavily. She looked around the dark room and sighed. It was all a dream.
She rubbed her eyes and got up, looking around her room once more. Today she was leaving for Hogwarts. Part of her couldn't wait to get away from her parents, but the other part of her knew that as soon as she got on that train, there was no going back.
She looked at her clock and groaned. The bright red numbers read 6:00 AM. She tried to get back to sleep but it didn't work...she couldn't stop thinking about the dream she had.
Never before had she dreamed a dream that was so vivid and full of detail. Usually her dreams were somewhat foggy, but not this one.
She shook her head and stood up, knowing she couldn't tell her parents about it or they'd think that she was actually starting to remember Cedric or something, and then they'd make her spend even more time with him than she was forced to now.
She supposed it really happened...she felt everything that her three-year-old self was feeling: pain, sadness, fear. And when three-year-old Cedric climbed into bed with her, she felt overwhelming joy. She sighed and left her room, going downstairs for breakfast..."No use in staying in bed," she thought.
"You're up early, Bee, its only 6:30," Roger said from his seat at the bar in the kitchen. He had to leave in about half an hour for work.
"Couldn't sleep...I had a...bad dream," she mumbled, opening the fridge and taking out a carton of orange juice.
"Do you want to tell me about it?" he asked, setting his paper down.
"...No, not really," Bridgette said, taking a swig from the carton.
"Ok Bee, but are you sure?" Roger asked.
"Yeah dad, I'm sure," Bridgette replied, smiling slightly.
"Ok, if you're sure," he said, going back to his paper as she poured herself some cereal.
"I'll see you Christmas break, ok daddy?" Bridgette asked as her father got up to head off for work.
"Bye Honey Bee," he said, kissing her forehead, "Be good."
"I will," she said, smiling at him as he left.
She looked up the clock and saw that it was about 7, deciding she should get reading, seeing how it would take her at least 2 and a half hours to do so.
