(Oliver's POV)

"What the hell?" I said as Cedric ran past me, chasing after my sister. "What is going on?"

Katie came up to me, glaring. "You stupid son of a bitch! Are you that fuckin' blind?!" Katie was yelling at me, Katie never yelled at me. I must have fucked up somehow. "You're damn sister has been in love with Cedric for six damn years! And two months ago, Cedric admitted the same fuckin' thing!"

"If he was in love with her, why was he kissing Cho?" I asked, extremely confused.

Cho came up to us. "He didn't. I kissed him right before Alyssa came in. He didn't want to kiss me."

"Good job Oliver." Katie snarled. "You've managed to hurt your best friend and shatter your sister in one night."

Yup. I fucked up. Big time.

(Alyssa's POV)

"Alyssa!" Cedric yelled after me. "Alyssa!"

I wouldn't suggest running and crying at the same time. You run out of air fast. I stopped and turned to face Cedric. "What do you want?"

"Talk to me." he pleaded.

"Talk to you about what?" I snapped. "About the fact that I was going to give myself to you tonight and then I find you kissing another girl?"

"Aly, you don't understand."

"No Cedric, you don't understand. I have loved you for six years. You've all I've ever thought about. But this," I paused, trying to keep my composure. "This is just too much." I took a deep breath, tears streaming down my face. "I'm sorry. Goodbye." I took off running back to the common room, not daring to look back at Cedric.

I stayed in my bed the rest of the weekend. Lin, a house-elf I absolutely adored, brought me food. My roommates steered clear of me whenever possible. Owls came from Cedric, Oliver, and Katie. I even received one from Cho. But I just casted Incendio on them. It was Sunday night when I received a visitor.

I was lying on my bed, cuddled up with my stuffed penguin, when there was a knock on my door. I heard it open and close, but saw no one. When I felt someone sit on my bed, I knew what was going on. "Take off the cloak. Now."

"Someone's not happy to see her best friend." Katie said, pulling off the invisibility cloak she borrowed from Harry.

"If I wanted to talk, I would've owled you back."

"Aly, I just wanted to make sure you were okay."

I swallowed, unsure of how to answer her. "I'm..to be honest, I don't know how I am. I [pretty much just want to die. And strangle Oliver. And hex Cedric to hell."

"You're very violent when you're upset."

I shrugged. "It's just my way."

"I should tell you." she said. "Cho—"

I interrupted her. "I don't want to hear anything to do with Cho, Oliver, or Cedric."

"But—"

"No buts."

Monday came and I knew I couldn't hide in my dorm any longer. I had classes after all. I got out of bed and threw on my uniform, not speaking to my roommates. I walked to the common room for the first time in days. Rob saw me first and gave me a hug, which I only returned half-heartedly. "You alright?" he asked. I shrugged. "Let's get you out of here before Cedric gets down here." I nodded and let him lead me to breakfast.

"You look horrible." Angelina said when we got to the Great Hall.

Katie smacked her arm. "That's just what she needs to hear." She turned to me. "Your brother wants to talk to you."

"I don't want to talk to him." I said.

Rob rubbed my arm. "Talk to him Aly. He's your brother."

I glared at Rob. "Fine. I'll talk to him."

Katie smiled. "He's in the courtyard.

When I reached the courtyard, I found Oliver sitting alone on the bench in the far left. I made it to him and cleared my throat. He looked up at me. "Aly."

"What do you want Oliver?" I asked.

"I wanted to apologize for Cedric's party. I'm the one that pushed Cho on Ced. I had no idea of his feelings for you and vice versa. If I had—"

"You'd what?" I asked. "You're not going to expect me to think that you'd be excited to have Cedric and me together. You're too protective of me. Do you remember what you did to that poor muggle boy who asked me out years ago? That black eye didn't go away for months and he still twitches when he sees us. Maybe if you weren't so over protective, Cedric and I wouldn't have felt like we had to hide our relationship. Then he wouldn't have kissed Cho and I wouldn't be so damn heartbroken." I paused in my rant. "Are we done now? I have class in five minutes and I still need to eat."

"Yeah." he whispered. "I'm sorry Aly."

"I know you are." With that, I walked back to the Great Hall.

My day went by relatively easy. I was the last one in class and the first to leave. It was a rather effective way of avoiding Cedric, who I had every class with. I used this method all week, and, surprisingly enough, it worked. I was so impressed with myself. It was no Friday afternoon, a week since that blasted birthday party, and I was currently sitting in the library with Katie, working on an essay Snape assigned. "You're coming to the game tomorrow, right?" She was referring to the Quidditch game of Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor.

"Probably not. I'm trying to stay under Cedric's radar."

"You're not doing a very good job of it." Katie said. I looked up at her with furrowed eyebrows. "Oh please. You cannot tell me you honestly believe Cedric has stopped watching and thinking about you. Not to mention, he's always asking about you."

I rolled up my now finished essay. "Why should he care? He's the one that went off and kissed some Ravenclaw slut." I spat the last two words with venom.

Katie looked at me in shock. "You mean you don't know?"

"Don't know what?"

"Ced didn't kiss Cho. She kissed him. Apparently, he kept telling her that there was another girl he liked. I guess she was trying to get him to like her or something and kissed him right before you came in."

"Then what I saw was him fighting her off?" Katie nodded. "I broke it off with him for no reason." I felt my eyes tearing up. "That's what he was trying to tell me. I am such a fool."

Katie grabbed my hand. "Come on. Let's go find the twins. They'll cheer you up." We gathered our things and headed towards Gryffindor Tower. "I can't believe Oliver didn't tell you about Cho."

I stopped dead in my tracks. "Oliver knew?"

"Yeah, Cho told both of us."

I took a few breaths to calm myself. "I don't think now is the best time for me to be near my brother. I'll just head back to my house." I hugged Katie. "Night. I'll see you tomorrow."

Trinity: Here you go my lovely readers, a Chapter 5. Just to let you all know, I'm not planning on having this story go on for as long as my others have been. There's only a few more chapters left I think. Of course, if enough people want it, I would consider writing a sequel. Let me know your thoughts.
