Christmas had now passed. Both Cedric and Queenie spending christmas with Cedric's parents as Queenie's younger siblings Bubble and Squeak had contracted quite a nasty infection so much so Barris and Jasmine had to forbid their children from returning home. Crete had had to stay at with their paternal Uncle, a muggle who simply believed they went to boarding school in the UK not that it taught magic.
Queenie dwelled on these thoughts as she drew a detailed and realistic parrot in colour. Queenie was currently sat on the stands at the Quidditch ground watching Cedric and the rest of Hufflepuff practice for the upcoming match. Queenie was wearing dark denim ripped high waisted skinny jeans, a red vest top and black, high top, canvas converse. On top of that she wore her green Parker coat and yellow fashion beanie hat. Queenie also had the ring Cedric gave sitting proud on her right middle finger, she hadn't taken it off since the day Cedric gave it to her (aside from when she bathed, obviously), even when they had argued.
"Queenie?" A nervous called and she turned to see Neville Longbottom standing a tear above her and a few seats away.
"Yes" she responded, smiling at the nervous first year
"Erm, I was wondered if you could help me with my Defense Against the Dark Arts homework?
"Sure. Take a seat" she shuffled up slightly and placed her drawing pad and colouring pencils back into her tan satchel.

Queenie was sat on the edge of Neville's bed in the hospital wing after his fight with 3 Slytherins. She was currently visiting him, just after diner having seeker food back for him and to help him finish his DADA essay.
"Have your wrote about defensive spells?" Queenie asked
"Yes" Neville replied. He was sat up straight in his pyjamas flicking threw his 4 page essay trying to see if he'd included everything
"Have you-" Queenie began when Madam Pomfrey and Ron burst through the door. Ron's hand all gnarled and bloody with scabs starting to form on his deep cut.
"What happened?!" Queenie exclaimed shocked, both her and Neville staring at his mangled hand as he sat on the bed to their left. Madam Pomfrey quickly drew the curtains muttering about 'dragons' and 'a stupid place to put the stone' and 'health hazard'

As soon as Queenie left the hospital wing she made a dash for the Hufflepuff common room. Once inside she made a beeline for Cedric.
Cedric was sat in on of the arm chairs next to the fire talking to Nathan, who was in the opposite chair and Rohm and his friend first year friend Justin sat on the sofa. They were talking about Longbottom and Weasley's fight with Malfoy and his goons when Queenie entered. She slipped over the chair's arm into Cedric's lap and wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her head in his neck.
No one said anything when Queenie sat herself down on Cedric as if he was a comfy chair. You see the whole school was used to their constant displays of affection and didn't even bat and eyelid when one or other of them did something most couples waited until they were alone to do.
Once the boys had finished their conversation, Queenie whispered in his ear:
"Something's going to happen Ced, something big. I not sure when precisely what about but it's something to do with a Stone and Nicolas Flamel" Cedric just looked at her concerned, he wanted nothing more to wrap her in cotton wool and place in a small locked room until what ever was going to happen had blown over. He couldn't risk her getting hurt, he simply couldn't.

Harry just finished scribbling his quill on his cartridge paper rapidly as the bell rang signalling the end of the final exam for first and second years.
As teachers started to collect in papers (using advanced 'Accio' charms) Harry looked around the exam hall. Hermione was sat at the far side away from him and Ron right at the front under the watchful eye of McGonagall.
"Hey Harry" A sweet voice called and he turned to find Queenie sat diagonally behind him.
"Hey Queenie" he replied trying to force a smile but the weight of the events that were occurring were too much for him to muster a believable facade.
"What's up?" She asked. Harry knew he shouldn't tell her but something about Queenie just lured it out him. Her sugary Hufflepuff innocence coaxing the truth from his very soul.
"It's just Hagrid was given a Dragon by this guy and Hagrid's always wanted a Dragon but now he's got to give it to Ron's brother Charlie" Harry confessed
"I'm sure the dragon'll be in safe hands with old Charlie-boy … but Harry don't you think it's a bit odd? I mean Hagrid wants and dragon and suddenly viola a man with a dragon to sell just appears. I mean that's either some serious timing or something's not quite right" Queenie deduced and suddenly it clicked in Harry, too. It wasn't right, that was the nagging ache of coincidence that had been gnawing at his brain for 3 days straight now but he was too focused on proving Snape's guilt to even consider the stranger.
"Queen Bee, your a genius!" Harry exclaimed loudly, causing Queenie to blush as people turned to stare.
Harry ran out the hall, Hermione and Ron getting the hint and following.

Later that evening Queenie was sat on Cedric's bed with him, both of them clad in the school attire (minus their robes and ties). The curtains around the bed were drawn, Cedric having cast a spell to keep them in place and mute any noise they made reaching his dorm mates ears
"… and then after I pointed the coincidence he called me a geni-" Queenie's ramblings were cut off as Cedric swooped down and smashed his lips to hers. They kissed for a few seconds their' heads tilting and mouths slightly parting and re-attaching each time they did.
"Not that I don't want to hear your story it's just when you get into a conversation your pretty plump lips move really fast and it's hard for me to concentrate when watching them" he murmured before kissing her again.
"It's ok, my story's finished" Queenie breathed when they pulled apart again. She grabbed Cedric's collar forcing his lips back to hers.
Cedric's hands stroked down her sides and under her thighs before lifting her on to his lap. She was straddling him, her arms around his neck, her fingers playing with his hair. Cedric cheekily pinched her bum feeling her lurch forward, rubbing against him as her mouth opened and his tongue dived in. Their' tongues danced expertly as Cedric's hands back up her body. He pulled her sleeveless black v-neck with yellow lining over her head and throwing to to the far end of his bed. As his hands pulled her shirt out from where it was tucked in to her skirt he put his hands up and on the bare skin on her torso exploring her soft warm flesh.
Meanwhile Queenie started un-buttoning his school shirt (as he'd not been wearing a school jumper she didn't have to remove it) and soon they were both intensely kissing, tongues and all and Cedric was shirtless. Both their hair styles were unkept from the other party running their hands through it. Cedric brought his hands up to just under her bra before pulling his lips away. Both of them slightly breathless and their lips cherry and swollen.
"C-Can I … feel?" He asked, his cheeks turning pink. Queenie just giggled and used her own hands to nudge Cedric's elbows up so her was cupping her breasts (through her bra). Queenie went back to kissing him and Cedric felt a way of confidence rush over him and he squeezed her breasts. Queenie pulled away from the kiss to to gasp in pleasure.
"Is that good little one?" Cedric smirked and began to kiss her neck and collar bone. The more he squeezed the more jelly like she became. Her body was flopped against his, her breathing rapid and with each breath she felt her breasts push against his hands. All she could do now was go limp against him as she crumbled into delighted moans.

Sitting in DADA Queenie's class had no teacher, Quirell hadn't shown. The classroom was at that moment a buzz with chatter, laughter and speculations as to where the Professor might be. Paper aero planes where whizzing about along with anything else the class of 2nd year Hufflepuffs and Slytherins decided to throw.
Queenie, Rita, Jenny, Leah, Harriet, Gemma, Rohm, Freddy, Josh and Charles were all gossiping about Oliver Wood and the rumour he'd been slipped a love potion by Fred and George Weasley that led him to seduce and lap dance Professor Flitwick while juggling in front of his 5th year Gryffindor and Slytherin class.
Suddenly Dumbledore entered the classroom follow by McGonagall and Snape-the whole room fell silent. No one uttering a single syllable.
"Ladies and gentlemen Professor Quirrel has left Hogwarts, so to speak …" a gasp and hushed whispered erupted from the students.
"Quiet" Snape snapped and everyone fell back into quiet
"… and because of this you are now teacher-less and with no one to replace him I'm left with no other option … but to give you an early summer gift of a free lesson" Dumbledore finished and the class quickly stuffed their' parchment, ink and quills into their satchels and backpacks before hastily scurrying out.
"Oh, Miss Askoy?" Dumbledore called as she passed. Queenie slowly turned on her heel to face him.
"Yes sir?" She replied cautiously
"Mr Diggory is currently in the library, he too has a free lesson meant for studying … I believe he's looked at the changing biology of witches and wizards over the centuries for his History of magic class, I'm sure you could give him a hand with the present day phase" he winked and Queenie blushed, muttering a:
"Yes sir" before hurrying to the library, cheeks still burning.
Queenie located Cedric sitting at far side of library, near the windows, with his back to her. She creeped up on him stealthily before pouncing. She clasped her tiny hands over his eyes and brought her lips to his ear, whispering:
"Guess who?" In a sultry voice. Cedric pulled her hands away and turned to face her smiling
"What are you doing here?" He laughed pulling her down onto his knee.
"Well …" Queenie began to launch into the events of DADA class and Dumbledore's comments at which Cedric blushed.

Sitting on the Hogwarts Express, heading back to London, Cedric and Queenie had taken a separate compartment to their friends but it was for their sakes. With Cedric going to New York for the first 3 weeks of the holiday, then on the week he gets back it was Queenie's auntie's wedding and the week after Queenie was going to Bora Bora for just over a fortnight before flying back for her birthday which was the same day Cedric's parents had scheduled a family dinner. So long story short they weren't going to see each other all summer and so had to make up for the time they were going to loose.
The compartment door was locked and a silencing charm cast. The blinds drawn too ensuring privacy. Cedric sat on one the seats his light denim slouchy skinny jeans and white vans-his button up light blue checked shirt had been discarded on to the floor long ago. Queenie was straddling Cedric in just her floaty baby pink skater skirt and white wired plunge bra that had a Lacey rim. Her white lace up plimsolls had been cast off her along with white sleeveless crop top.
The two kissed intensely-their' tongues dancing the Argentine tango with each other as their hands wandered over the others form, gripping and squeezing bits of interest to them that caused the other pleasure. It was their summer present to one and other.
