"You played good today." Arabelle said when I walked out of the bathroom.

"Thanks." I said while holding my towel up with one hand and rifling through my trunk with the other.

"So you and Ced are back together? Officially?"

I threw a red bra and matching boy shorts on my bed. "Yup."

Kristy sighed. "Bummer." I looked at her sharply. "Not like that. Cedric's a fine specimen of man, a lot of girls are going to be upset. Better prepare for some backlash."

I nodded. "I know." I disappeared into the bathroom and came out moments later, fully clothed. "He's got his own fan club." I said, adjusting my black hip huggers. "It's at least as big as Oliver's."

"Speaking of Oliver," Vivi started. "How is he?"

I placed a headband in my hair, leaving it down for once. "He's good. He'll be discharged by dinnertime."

"That's good."

"Yeah." Arabelle agreed. She then smiled. "So, let's talk about this amazing sex with Cedric."

I smirked. "Let's not. I'm not the kind of girl who gives out details." I started to walk out the door but stopped, my hand on the knob. I turned back to my roommates. "Let's just keep this between us. I don't want to even think about what my brother would do to Ced if he found out."

The other girls cringed. "Deal."

"Cute but psycho." Katie said, reading my shirt, when Cedric and I met her at the stairs. "Yeah, that's definitely you."

I stuck my tongue out. "Where's my brother?" I asked.

"I'm getting ready to meet him at the Hospital Wing. Madame Pomfrey wants somebody to walk with him." She paused. "So I take it the two of you made up?"

"Me and Oliver?" She nodded. "Yeah. He even know that Ced and I are together."

She smiled. "That's good. I was getting ready to lock the two of you in a room and let you duke it out."

"I would've been there taking bets." Cedric said.

"Hey!" I exclaimed.

He chuckled and put an arm around my shoulders. "All my money would've been on you."

Katie nodded. "Mine too. You fight dirty."

I crossed my arms over my chest and frowned. "It's not my fault Fred and George have had more of an influence on me than my brother."

"I wouldn't have you any other way." Cedric whispered and then kissed my cheek.

"Damn Ced, I thought you had taste." Cho said, passing us.

"Obviously he does." Katie called after her. "Otherwise he'd be with you." She turned back to us. "Jealous little monkey. Well, I'd better go get Oliver. I'll see you guys in a few."

Ced and I waved at her and headed toward the Great Hall. "Cho's not going to give up, is she." I said quietly.

Cedric shrugged and pulled me closer. "I don't know. Maybe. She's just jealous, that's all. She'll get over it. Eventually. Maybe."

"Aren't you all intelligent speaking today."

He stopped walking and pulled me into a hug. "It's the effect you have on me. Every time I see or touch you my brain goes dead."

"I'm going to take that as a compliment."

"Good. Cause it was." He leaned down to kiss me. The sweet moment was broken by both our stomachs growling. He laughed. "We better go eat."

"Good plan."

(Cho's POV)

I can't believe Cedric would choose that Wood over me. I thought as I made my way to the Ravenclaw table. I sat in my usual spot. She doesn't even like Quidditch!

"What's wrong with you Chang?" Roger Davies asked.

I glared at the Hufflepuff table. "Two words. Alyssa Wood." I stabbed my meatloaf with my fork. "She just thinks she's so cool. Oliver's sister, buddies with the Weasley twins, friends with the famous Harry Potter, and now Cedric's girlfriend. That should be me hanging all over him, not her."

"Someone's a little jealous." He paused. "I don't know what she sees in him anyway."

I stopped mutilating my food, an idea forming in my mind. "So Roger," I began, a mischievous smile spreading across my face. "You like Alyssa right?" He nodded. "Well, I like Cedric."

"Yeah, I know. Where are you going with this Chang?"

I leaned closer to him and lowered my voice. "Between the two of us, we're bound to figure out a way to get them to break up. We're Ravenclaws for Pete's sake Anyway, they break up, you get what you want and I get what I want."

Roger grinned. "I'm in."

(Alyssa's POV)

"How're you feeling?" Cedric whispered in my ear.

I shrugged. "I'm sore. Riding a broom today didn't help much."

He gave me his famous lopsided grin. "Sorry. I needed a substitution."

"Uh huh."

He kissed my cheek. "Anyway, I think I know what will make you feel better. Meet me at the statue of Boris the Bewildered at midnight."

I looked at him in mock shock. "Why Cedric. That's after curfew. Are you, Mr. Perfect Prefect, telling me to break the rules?" He raised an eyebrow, clearly now believing me. I shrugged. "Anyway, why can't we go together?"

"I'm on duty tonight. Nick Rovalis, one of the Slytherin Prefects, is relieving me at midnight." I just stared at him. "Oh come on, you've snuck out a million times before. Trust me, it'll make you feel better. Great even."

I saw an emotion in his eyes that I had recently grown quite accustomed to seeing, lust. "Okay." I said. "I'll just borrow Fred and George's map."

"Excellent." He kissed my cheek again. "I've got a meeting with the Quidditch team and then I have to go get my assignment from Percy for the night."

"Gotcha. I'll see you at midnight at Boris."

"Don't be late." He got up to leave, but I grabbed his wrist. "What?"

"Is that how you say goodbye to you girlfriend?"

He smiled bashfully. "Of course not. My mistake. Sorry." He bent down and placed his lips on mine.

After a few moments he pulled away. I grinned. "Well, that's more like it. Now go." I sat there and watched as Cedric walked away. I love it when he walks. After he left the hall, I stood and made my way to the Gryffindor table.

"Hey sis." Oliver called to me as I walked by him.

"What's up?" I asked.

"What did I say about keeping your hands to yourself?"

I smiled and kissed the top of his head. "Exactly. You only said hands. You never mentioned lips." I smiled at Katie and continued my way down to the twins.

"Alyssa!" the twins exclaimed. "To what do we owe this pleasure?"

I just shook my head. "I need your map."

"No can do." Fred said.

"We gave it to Harry. He needs it more than we do." George continued.

"Think he'd lend it to me for the night?"

"You could ask." they said in unison. I hate it when they do that, it's creepy.

"I'll do that. Thanks." I looked around and continued further down the table to Harry and his friends. "Hey guys." I said.

"Hey Alyssa." the trio replied.

"Harry, I've got a favor to ask you."

"Shoot."

"I need to borrow the map Fred and George gave you."

Harry looked around. "You know about that?"

I nodded. "Yeah. So can I borrow it?"

"Sure." He reached into his pocket and pulled out some parchment. "Here you go." He handed it to me.

"Thanks. I'll give it to you tomorrow morning." I turned to leave.

"Hey Alyssa." Ron started. "Where were you and Cedric last night? You guys weren't on the map."

I couldn't help the smirk that appeared. "That's not any of your business Weasley."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I heard him ask as I walked away.

Trinity: Here's another chapter for you guys. I'm glad I was able to get this one up. If you recall my author's note, I'm having surgery. Well, I'm having it on Thursday so I don't know when the next chapter will be up. I'm lucky to have gotten this chapter up. As I mentioned before, my sister is pregnant (it's a girl and she's giving her my middle name :D) and she only has three months left. Today, we had to make an emergency trip to her doctor. She was having a bunch of pain in her back and her sides. She wasn't having contractions, thank God, and the baby's heart beat is strong, but the baby isn't acting as "perfectly" as before. So my sis has to do some tests and we go back to the doctor tomorrow. I'm praying Emma Anne (the baby) won't be like her aunt (I tried to come on Memorial Day and wasn't due till July 21st). My poor mother...no wonder she's getting gray headed...
