A few days later, the entire student body was clearing out if the great hall after dinner-all of them clad in their Hogwarts uniforms. Queenie was very surprised she hadn't been pulled up on hers yet but wasn't complaining. Her and Cedric were some of the first Hufflepuffs to leave the hall, holding hands. This meant they were one of the Hufflepuffs to get there.
There being the second floor corridor. Filch was raving at Potter, Weasley and Granger about his cat, the floor was covered with at least to inches of water and on the wall there was the horrific and somewhat ominous text 'The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware'. Quickly all the students (from the entire school) arrived, the second flaw corridor was the only way back to houses from the great hall.
Shocked gasps and panic quickly spread through the student cohort.
"Oh my god! What does that mean? Enemies of the he-ur beware?" Rita asked worriedly
"Heir and I have no idea" Nathan told her.
"Enemies of the Heir, beware. You'll be next mud bloods" Draco spat from the opposite corridor entrance.
"Oi, Malfoy! Do us all a favour and SHUT IT!" Queenie yelled back in response. Draco just scowled at her.
Dumbledore then dismissed all the students, demanding the go the long way round to their respective houses. Everyone began to leave just a Dumbledore called:
"Not you three … and Miss Askoy?" Queenie turned round to face her headmaster but not before releasing Cedric's hand with a small smile, an assurance she'd be fine and a lingering kiss. As Cedric left, Queenie looked from the headmaster to the 3 first years, a distraught Filch and bragging Lockheart.
"Now Mr Potter, Mr Weasley and Miss Granger I'm sure you all have questions about what you've witnessed tonight. Miss Askoy here, is excelling in her Ancient Runes and more particularly of interest to you her History of Magic class so much so she's sits it with the year above and she'll be able to full you in with detailed and accurate information about the matter at hand. Miss Askoy is that ok, with you?" Dumbledore finished
"Yes sir" Queenie nodded, shyly
"Splendid! Now Miss Askoy you're dismissed" Dumbledore clapped and Queenie scurried off.

When Queenie entered the common room a body hurtled them self at her, catching her off guard.
"Woah!" She exclaimed, looking down to see her little brother, Crete crying slightly into her side.
"what's wrong?" She asked, hugging him back tightly and surveying the room. It's full of pupils, some Hufflepuff some not. Their were several students from varying houses and of vastly ranging ages that had sought solace in the house of people were friendly and warm, some were even in higher years-like 7th year Ravenclaw Georgia Sprawl finding in comfort in a hug from Queenie's friend Rohm. While most of the people in the common room were generally upset, Cedric's fan club who had members in each year and house were using it as an attempt to get him close enough when they 'cried' to pounce on him.
"QUEENIE!" Crete wailed, pushing his face harder in to her side.
Upon hearing Queenie's name his head shot up. He quickly escaped the talons and claws of the girls that were obviously falsely crying in attempt to lure him. Cedric couldn't fathom how he could cause such behaviour in people he didn't even know!
"Queenie! We're going to dye! Half bloods are seen as worse than muggle borns to the established wizard ing community!" Crete exclaimed as Cedric approached the two.
"Little one" he smiled, giving her a reassuring nod before going to stand by her side, wrapping an arm around her waist as she comforted her distressed sibling.
"Crete don't be silly we are NOT going to die, it's probably just some Slytherins idea of a joke" Queenie reassured but Crete's lip still trembled
"Well if its just a silly joke how come its upset everyone else too!" He protested and Queenie sighed.
Queenie moved away from Cerdic, climbing to stand on one of the wooden stools, that seated the people who were using the desks to the right side of the Hufflepuff common room. Cedric subconsciously moved to stand next to her, placing both hands on her waist to keep her from falling.
"Excuse me, excuse me … OI LISTEN!" Queenie began
"I appreciate you're all upset by the events of this evening but remember, despite what Malfoy said and what the writing claimed every single one us in this school deserve to be a wizard or a witch not one of us in unworthy! No one knows how magical abilities decide who and who not to manifest themselves in much less why. So don't be the eternal pessimist-yes continue forth from the point with caution but do not expect an attack on you … if you do you'll drive yourself to the brink of madness" Queenie finished and the students started clapping. She blushed as Cedric ensnared her waist lifted her off the chair and placing her down gently in front of him, so they were face to face.
"You, little one are truly remarkable" Cedric smiled before placing a lingering kiss on her lips.
When they pulled about, Cedric smacked his lips in confusion
"Are you wearing lip stuff?" He asked
"Yes" Queenie giggled out her reply-She thought Cedric looked like a fish opening and closing his mouth the way his was doing
"It tastes like vanilla and sugar" he stated
"You like?"
"Most defiantly … in fact I might have to kiss you even more just get some of that sweet nectar of yours" Cedric grinned cheekily
"Ced, it's lip pencil!" Queenie laughed and Cedric leaned in close, his lips brushing her ear when he whispered, seductively:
"I wasn't talking about your lip pencil"
"Cedric!" She gasped pushing him back, blushing furiously

Queenie, Rohm, Rita, Harriet, Jenny, Leah and Freddy had were exiting Herbology that they'd just have with Ravenclaws when the Golden trio appeared.
"Queen Bee?" Hermione asked, getting the groups attention.
"Could you tell us about the 'thing' now" she added and Queenie nodded.
Queenie turned to her friends quickly.
"Tell Ced, to meet me in the library just before lunch finishes please" she requested and Harriet nodded.
The group (minus Queenie) started walking to their next lesson (which was the one before lunch). Queenie turned to the Golden trio.
"So … Library?" Queenie suggested and the 3 second years nodded.
-line break-
Queenie, Harry, Hermione and Ron all congregated around on of the tables at the far side of the library so Madam Pince wouldn't report them for skiving. Queenie had shook off her cardigan leaving her in her school shirt. But as most school will tell you, school shirts are not very thick and practically see through-this was why Ron was staring at her … bosom. Her pale pink, wired plunge bra with Lacey rims was clearly visible through her shirt and Ron, like a majority of males in school had a crush on her, stared entranced. Harry to had noticed but was focused on the task in hand to stare at Queenie's ample bosom.
"So I'm assuming you know the story of the founders?" Queenie began and the Hermione and Harry nodded.
"Well one of the founders, Salazar Slytherin was a bit a of a eugenist freak and only believed wizards and witches of pure heritage should be admitted" Queenie continued
"So no Muggle borns or Half bloods?" Harry deducted and Queenie nodded
"Right. However the other founders disagreed and they came to loggerheads over it. The dispute grew so large that Slytherin left the school but not before updating the decor and installing a secret chamber …" Queenie explained further before Hermione jumped I'm with:
"The chamber of secrets"
"Inside of this chamber is a monster and by monster I mean monster … like the unwanted love child of a Hungarian horntail and fluffy who was raised by Gellert Grindelwald and Snape! That kinda monster" Queenie added, her example dragging Ron from his stare and causing him to shiver.
"And that's not all Slytherin left the school with the intention that when his heir returned to Hogwarts he or she would open the Chamber and control the beast-manipulating it on its quest to kill 'blood traitors'" She finished.
"Wow" Harry breathed and Ron looked nervous but his fear soon morphed into anger as he turned to his friend
"Wow? What do you mean, Wow? Are being bloody serious right now, Harry?" Ron cried but before anyone could pass comment Hermione jumped in with most out standing question:
"Has anyone ever found the chamber?" The frizzy haired 2nd year asked. Suddenly Queenie looked furtive and leaned across the desk to whisper:
"Officially no, many searches have been in vain but … but, ask Hagrid about 50 years ago and please keep it to yourself, I only know because I over heard my mum and her boss the minister talking about it over the phone on the anniversary of her death" Queenie stated lowly before sitting back in her seat and quickly throwing her cardigan back on and collecting her bag and hurrying out the library with so much as a good bye.

Queenie had told Cedric about her conversation with Harry, Hermione and Ron that had happened two weeks prior and Cedric could visibly see her getting more worked up about the amount of information she'd disclosed. It was supposed to have a been private talk and she'd earwigged and then passed on the information. Queenie though herself no better than a malicious gossip. Although to everyone else Queenie appeared her cool, calm self that didn't have a care in the world but Cedric could see right through her facade. This is partly why they were now stood in the room of requirement, Queenie weeping into Cedric's chest. 'She must have been upset for the room to show itself to her' Cedric thought as he rubbed her back.
She'd bolted from the great hall suddenly, during diner, in hysterics. Cedric excused himself and went after her assuring several people on his way that life had just a little too overwhelming lately and that she just needed a cuddle and a hot chocolate.
Cedric noted how tense Queenie was in his arms and thought how beneficial it would be for her to have a massage. As soon as the thought ran through his mind the room morphed into a massage parlour, full of scented oils, candles and towels.
Once the foreign scent hit Queenie's button nose, she lifted her head only be greeted with something that resembled a Muggle's spa massage room. Cedric gently grabbed her face, wiping away her tears and smudging her mascara tracks before whispering:
"Strip down and I'll give you a massage if you want" Queenie didn't need to be told twice and the idea of a massage sounded blissful. She slowly but surely peeled off her clothes, not even bothered Cedric was in the room.
Cedric started to gather the oils he'd need for her massage, occasionally glancing over at his half naked or in the end nude girlfriend with a loving gaze and affectionate smile. He then himself began to strip until his was just down to his boxers.
Queenie clambered on to the massage bed and laid on stomach. She felt Cedric place a towel over her bum and straddle her back. Queenie became aware at this point Cedric also wasn't wearing trousers as she could feel his bare calfs rub against her thighs.
Queenie knew that most girls in school got themselves in positions like this and then either her boyfriend chucks her or spreads rumours of a crap she was in the bedroom. But with Cedric she new didn't need to worry about such things, he'd never hurt her.
Cedric squirted some oil into his hands and he began working out the knots in her back and shoulders.
"You are really tense, y'know?" Cedric's voice was gravelly. Queenie nodded and sighed.
"How can I not be with everything going on? I mean …" Queenie began but Cedric pushed into a particularly hard knot, slowly unwinding it, causing her to let out a gasp, effectively cutting herself off
"Ssh, little one don't stress yourself with others problems tonight … it's all about you" Cedric hushed her, her hands containing to push and prod her back and shoudlers
"Ahh … " Queenie moaned a little as his thumbs dug into her lower back.
"Does this feel good?" Cedric asked and Queenie nodded. Cedric then shuffled back, straddling her lower legs and removing the towel on her bum. Queenie felt cool air rush over her bare behind. Goosebumps started to erupt over her body and she shivered.
"You'll be warm in a minute, I promise." Cedric assured and squirted more oil into his hands. His hands wandered over her taught bum and her began to knead them gently. Queenie bit her lip. She felt a warm tingling build in between her smooth legs, wetness soon caking the inside of her upper thighs. Cedric raised from his straddling position into a kneel, grabbing Queenie's waist and flipping her over to face him. His hands started to massage the top of her thighs as he regained his straddling position before leaning forward to suck and kiss her now splayed and unsupported breasts and hardened nipples.
"So gorgeous" he purred against her left breast, provoking a moan from Queenie. She felt one of his hands slide down, his fingers dragging along her slit like opening, and she sucked in a breath, his eyes finding hers. Cedric bent down, his right cheek brushing Queenie's left as he whispered into her ear:
"Can I pleasure you?" He enquired, he wanted Queenie to forget about all the stress just for a while and even though they couldn't legally engage in full on intercourse, they could do this and he was confident the room of requirement wouldn't allow anyone in. She just nodded and Cedric slipped his fingers up into her bundle of nerves and then leaned in, placing a lingering kiss on her sensitive nub.
Queenie squealed at the action and then felt his warm tongue on her opening slit, licking and plunging into the depths of her core slowly. Along with his fingers he went a snails pace dragging out Queenie's pleasure.
"Ahh … C-Ced" She whimpered, inaudible profanities also uttered.
"Mmm" he replied. The vibrations she felt in her lower region proved too much for her as her stomach began to twist. Her hands taking through and pulling his bronze hair.
Cedric continued and Queenie's stomach contracted and contacted until she began to rock her curvy hips against his tongue, craving something, anything that would make the coiled spring in her stomach loosen. He bit down lightly on her nub and that was enough. Queenie was plunged in to a fast moving spiral of ecstasy and euphoria that left her vision filled with blank spots and her chest heaving.
Later, once Queenie had recovered and Cedric had sorted his own problem out (he refused to let Queenie help as this experience was to relieve her and it just so happened it aroused him-it would be rude of him to let her). She was laid on Cedric's bare chest-that was slowly becoming more and more muscled and toned because of Quidditch. The room had now changed into a luxurious master bedroom. Cedric himself was now naked, having ruined his underwear trying to solve the problem Queenie had inadvertently caused, his fingertips were fluttering down her spine to the curve of her bottom. Once there he cheekily tapped his fingers against her perky arse before skimming them back up again, repeating the process several times.
"How was that?" He whispered into her hair, his warm breath blowing against the skin of Queenie's bare shoulder, tempting goose pumps. She giggled and tilted her head, giving his chest a love note before answering.
"Sublime" She smiled and Cedric brought his other hand up he brushed the short hair of her fringe back, out of her eyes, briefly pausing the movement of his fingers on her back,
"Good. I like making you happy and after everything that's happened so far this year you really deserve it" Cedric whispered, his smile evident in his tone. He lent down, pressing a kiss to her forehead. The action caused a wave of fatigue to sweep over Queenie and soon her eyes were fluttering shut.
"You always make me happy, you don't even have to try … your presence if enough" she mumbled into his muscled chest. Cedric smiled, resuming the movement of his fingers.
"I love you, little one. I love every single thing about you and don't you ever doubt that." Cedric let his heart speak and Queenie looked up at him, resting her chin on his chest then uttering out a touched yet sleepy:
"I love you, too" before laying her head back down again, slowly drifting off to sleep. She found solace in the sound of Cedric's steady breathing and the tender touches he was planting on her back.
