(Alyssa's POV)

"Wow, you look tired." Katie told me when I met up with her by the lake.

"Gee, thanks Katie." I covered my mouth as I yawned. "I had a late night last night."

"How is that possible? You left the Great Hall before dinner was even over." She saw me start to blush. "What did you do?"

"Nothing." I said while avoiding her eyes.

"Aly." She scrutinized me. "Let's see, your complexion is all glowy and you have a cheery disposition. You were walking kinda odd yesterday, especially after playing in the game yesterday." Her eyes widened as realization dawned on her. "Merlin's beard! You did it, didn't you! You and Cedric actually did it!"

"Ssh!" I exclaimed and put my hand over her mouth. "Not everybody in Hogwarts needs to know! I'm trying to keep Cedric alive by not letting Oliver find out."

"Sorry." she said after I removed my hand. "So you and Ced really slept together?"

I nodded. "Yeah. Two nights in a row."

"Wow, twice?"

I grinned. "I said two nights. I didn't say how many times. Let's just say we spent three hours in the Prefects Bathroom last night."

"Alyssa Marie Wood! You little minx." Her humorous tone turned into a concerned one. "You did use protection, right?"

"Of co—" I stopped mid-sentence. Oh Merlin! Last night!

"Aly?"

"I gotta go. I need to go see Pomfrey."

(Cho's POV)

I caught up with Roger right as he was about to leave the common room. "Roger!" I called out.

"Go ahead, I'll catch up." he told his friends. He came over to me. "What's up Chang?"

I put my hands on my hips. "I do have a first name."

He rolled his eyes. "Excuse me. What's up Cho?"

"Thank you." I grinned up at him. "I believe I've come up with a solution to our conundrum."

"Oh really?"

"Yes." I looked around the room to make sure no one was listening. "On my way to the kitchens this morning around three, I was forced into an alcove after hearing footsteps. Instead of seeing Filch or Snape, who should I see?"

"Who?"

"Cedric and Alyssa. They were on their way to their common room from some midnight rendezvous."

"And this is important because?"

"Because, I know what they were doing. Cedric and Alyssa have been intimate."

Roger's eyes widened and his face grew red. "You mean to tell me that they've slept together?" I nodded. "Cedric's had his hands all over my Alyssa?" I nodded again. "I'm gonna kill him!"

I grabbed his arm, preventing him from going on a murderous rampage. "Oh no you don't. If you kill Cedric, Alyssa will not be seeking comfort in your arms and I will be killing you."

"Then what do you propose we do?" he asked through gritted teeth.

"We threaten to tell Oliver."

"We threaten...to tell...Wood?" he asked slowly.

"Exactly! I'll tell Alyssa that if she doesn't dump Cedric, I'll tell Oliver. She'd never risk her brother going to Azkaban for murder. She'll dump Cedric, Cedric will come to me for comfort, and you'll get a shot with her. It's perfect."

Roger smiled and kissed my cheek. "You are an evil genius."

I grinned. "I know." I walked out of the common room with Roger knowing that by the end of the day, Cedric would be mine.

(Alyssa's POV)

I was halfway to the Hospital Wing when Oliver saw me. "Hey, just the person I was looking for." he said running up to me.

I gave him a nervous smile, hoping he wasn't as observant as his girlfriend. "Hey Ols, what's up?"

"Do you know where Ced is? We were supposed to meet up this morning to discuss strategy against Slytherin, but he never showed up."

"He was still sleeping when I left to meet Katie."

His eyes widened. "Sleeping?!" He looked at his watch. "It's nearly lunchtime."

"He must've had a late night last night." I mentally slapped myself. Way to keep him in the dark. Alyssa you idiot!

"Late night? What made him have a late night?"

"I don't know. I was way asleep by the time he came back. So I have no idea why he had a late night." I babbled.

Oliver gave me a concerned look. "Lyssa, are you okay? You're babbling."

I laughed nervously. "Yeah I'm fine. Just not feeling real well. I'm actually on my way to see Madam Pomfrey."

"Here, let me take you."

"No!" I shouted. I cleared my throat. "I mean, no thanks. I'm a big girl, I can handle it."

"Okay." He kissed my cheek. "I hope you feel better. Get some rest, you look beat."

"Will do big brother. If I see Cedric, I'll let him know you're looking for him."

"Thanks little sis. I'll see you later."

I let out a sigh of relief as I watched Oliver leave. I had avoided the bullet, so to speak. Feeling slightly bad for lying, I continued my way to the Hospital Wing.

"Madam Pomfrey?" I called out as I opened the doors to the Hospital Wing. "Are you here?"

"Of course I'm here." Pomfrey said, coming out of her office. "Where else would I be? Now, what do you need?"

"Um...well.." I stuttered, suddenly feeling a mix of embarrassment and nerves.

"Yes? Well spit it out."

"I need the morning-after potion!" I blurted out. Me plus nervousness equals badness.

Pomfrey looked surprised. "Miss Wood! Did I hear you clearly?"

"Yes ma'am." I said quietly.

"Come with me." She grabbed my hand and pulled me into her office. "Sit." she ordered. I did as told, you don't mess with Pomfrey. She's almost as scary as McGonagall. "Now Miss Wood, am I correct that you asked for the morning after potion?"

I stared at my silver-painted fingernails. "Yes ma'am."

"Was this intercourse consensual?"

I felt myself blush. "Yes."

"Right then." Pomfrey stood and walked to her cabinet. She pulled out a red oblong shaped bottle and handed it to me. "Take one gulp of this and you'll be fine."

I uncorked the bottle and took one drink. The liquid was cool as it went down my throat and tasted like cherries. I corked the bottle and handed it back. "Thank you." I stood to leave.

"Hold your broomsticks Miss Wood. Sit back down." I nodded and returned to my chair. She put the bottle back in the cabinet and sat at her desk. "I'm going to assume that, since it was consensual, you will be having intercourse again."

"More than likely."

"Well, I believe you should be placed on birth control. The last thing Hogwarts needs is to open a nursery." I must've looked ashamed, because she then added, "Don't worry deary, you're not the only student that is engaging in intercourse. I prescribe birth control to someone at least once a week." She opened the cabinet once more and retrieved a small rectangular blue box. "Take one of these everyday at the same time. Just put one under your tongue and it'll dissolve."

"Thank you Madam Pomfrey." I said while accepting the box.

"Now, this only prevents you from getting pregnant. It doesn't prevent sexually transmitted diseases. So use a condom, especially if there are multiple partners."

I could feel my face burning up with embarrassment again. "Yes ma'am. May I go?"

She nodded. "Yes. Remember to come see me when you take your last pill."

"Yes ma'am. Thank you." I stood and left, box in hand. If I ever hear the word 'intercourse' again, I very well may kill myself.

"Thought I'd find you here." Cho said as I closed the doors to the Hospital Wing.

"Merlin Chang! Are you my personal stalker now or what?" I said, heading to the Great Hall for lunch.

"Hey! I want to talk to you!" she exclaimed, following me.

"Well I don't want to talk to you."

She grabbed my arm. "If you don't stop, I'll tell Oliver what you did last night."

I stopped walking and took my arm back. "What are you talking about Chang? I didn't do anything last night."

Cho smirked. "You little liar. I saw you and Cedric last night. You guys have been having sex."

I sighed, grateful no one was around. "So what? Cedric and I have been having sex. Big deal."

"It is a big deal. To Oliver anyway."

"Point being?"

"You know just as well as I do that your brother would go berserk if he knew. So I'll make you a deal. You break up with Cedric and I won't tell Oliver his sister had sex with his best friend." She smiled smugly.

I shook my head, a small smile on my face. "You think you're all that, don't you Chang. It is true that if Oliver knew, he would lose it. You weren't wrong about that. But what you forgot is that, if Oliver knew where Cedric's hands, and various other body parts, have been, he'd murder him in cold blood. Now, you wouldn't want that now would you?" Cho was silent, her smug smile wiped completely off her face. I grinned. "I think we're done here."

(Roger's POV)

Screw this. I thought. I'm not waiting for Cho. I made my way to the Quidditch Pitch where the Gryffindor team was practicing. I wanted to see Diggory in pain. He deserved it. No one is allowed to touch my Alyssa. "Oi! Wood!" I called out to the Gryffindor Keeper.

Oliver told his team to keep practicing and few down to me. "What do you want Davies? I'm in the middle of practice."

"Yeah, couldn't tell." I said with sarcasm in my voice. I rolled my eyes. "Anyway. I've got something that you really should know."

Trinity:Well, here's a longish chapter. Turns out, I won't be spending as much time away as I thought. My sister is doing really well, so I don't have to go down as much to stay with her. Yayness!!! I hope you liked the chapter. I've been trying to get it posted. This is week is crazy. My dad's family is up here this week to celebrate my grandparents' 50th anniversary. We're having a party on Friday. We also have all sorts of stuff going on tomorrow and Thursday. It wouldn't be so bad, cept that my dad's two brothers don't exactly get along with my aunt...actually, aside from grandma and grandpa, none of us get along with my aunt very well. Hence the crazy week. Anyway, I will post as soon as possible. Don't forget to review!
