"We'll now we're all fed and watered …" Dumbledore begun and the entire fell silent. Cedric and Queenie sat next to each other on the Hufflepuff table as ever. Cedric to Queenie's right and them sitting on the left hand bench, meaning Queenie was in front. Cedric right hand rested on Queenie's left thigh, squeezing it lovely through out the feast they had just helped eat. Queenie's left hand rested on Cedric right lower arm meaning they both only had 1 hand to eat with each.
"… I must once more act for your attention, while I give out a few notices. Mr Filch, the caretaker, has asked me to tell you that the list of objects forbidden inside the castle has this year been extended to include Screaming Yo-yos, Fanged Frisbees and Ever Bashing Boomerangs. The full list compromises some four hundred and thirty-seven items, I believe and it can be viewed in Mr Filch's office, if anyone would like to check it. As ever I would like to remind you all that the forest on the grounds is out-of-bonds to students, as is the village of Hogsmeade to all below third year. It is also my painful duty to inform you that the Inter-House Quidditch Cup will not take place this year …" Dumbeldore was cut off by appalled muttering from the students and shouts of disbelief from the Quidditch teams.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" A Ravenclaw beater hollowed.
Cedric himself couldn't quite comprehend it
"Ced … Ced your pinching" Queenie whispered in his ear and Cedric blushed, muttering a 'sorry' as he released the vice like clamp he'd gripped her thigh with in the shock of it all.
"… this is due to an event that will be starting in October, and continuing throughout the school year, taking up much of the teachers' time and energy-but I am sure you will all enjoy it immensely. I have great pleasure in announcing that this year at Hogwarts …" Dumbledore was cut off again but this time by the doors to great hall slamming open. Every student in the hall and some teachers jumped.
In the doorway to the great hall was a unkept, small, middle age man. His face was gnarled. Some of his nose was missing, he had a thick gash that had healed long ago running down his face and only one actual eye. His other eye was suspended on a battered leather strap that was fastened around his head. His hair was a mixture grey, white and mousy brown. It was thin and straggly as if the majority had fallen or being ripped out. Students gasped, some screamed and some cried at the hideous, scary man in the door way. Cedric's hand moved from Queenie's thigh to around her waist pulling her into a protective hold. The unknown man limped up to the teachers table, his wooden staff like walking stick clunking along the flag stone floor. On his way up to the front he took a long sip from a hip flask. Queenie had her hand grasping Cedric's thigh as she snuggled deeper into his love and protection. The unknown man reached the front.
"What's the betting he's the new DADA teacher?" Nathan asked
"Well if we're using previous candidates for the criteria it wouldn't surprise me" Queenie raised her eyebrows as she spoke, enforcing her point.
"My dear old friend, thanks fore coming" Dumbledore shook his hand.
"May I introduce out new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher? Professor Moody" Dumbledore informed them and the man, Moody, took another long swig of whatever was in his hip flask.
"Great" Rohm rolled his eyes as the new member of staff took his seat.
"The new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is an …" Georgie Smith, a 3rd year began
"Al-key" Queenie finished for her getting a light chuckle from Cedric that tickled her ear before he kissed her hair.
"As I was saying we are to have the honour of hosting a very exciting event over the coming months, an event that has not been held for over a century. It is my very great pleasure to inform you that the Triwizard Tournament will be taking place at Hogwarts this year" Dumbledore said and the whole student body broke into animated gossip and chatter.
"YOU'RE JOKING?!" Fred or George, Queenie could never really tell, called from the adjacent table.
"I'm not joking, Mr Weasley" Dumbledore assured before launching into a great and lengthy speech on the event. He relayed the History of the tournament, the participants, the reason it was discontinued, which was the death toll rasing to high. At the mere mention of a death toll, Queenie shuddered from her position, cuddled into Cedric and he tightened his grip on her, squeezing her hip bone in a comforting manner. Dumbledore also discussed the rules of the tournament and what a champion would need to possess personality wise. Dumbledore also made clear entrants had to be 17 or over which had sparked fury among the younger half of the sixth year.
"So the delegations from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang are arriving in October?" Kevin Whitby a first year who'd been sorted into Hufflepuff as he followed Queenie and Cedric, in their group of first years who were currently being escorted back to the Hufflepuff dorms and common room. The six prefects had split into pairs (Cedric and Queenie, Ernie Macmillian and Gabriel Truman, Hannah Abbott and Eustace Derry) and they split the group of the new 21 Hufflepuffs into 3 smaller ones, each with 7 students.
"Yes. Sometime towards the end, I believe" Cedric conformed and the 3 girls in their assigned group of first years giggled even more.
"I'd believe anything he told me" one whispered, not so discreetly
"Same he's soo fit!" Another one agreed
"I bet he go's out with the hottest girl in the school" the final girl added.
"What about Queenie?" One of the boys dropped behind, to see what they were talking about. The second girl went to speak when Cedric interrupted:
"We're telling you this to help you, you could at least fane interest instead of talking over us" he sounded calm but his voice had a dangerous undertone. Queenie gave the hand if his she was holding a squeeze.
"What do prefects do? What are their purpose?" Kevin (who seemed to be ever curious) asked
"We're essentially student leaders. We can take away house points but only from our own houses but we can issue a detention to anybody if we have a just reason to" Queenie said
"We escort first years such as yourselves upon their arrival at Hogwarts back to their house on the first day. Similarly we oversee decorating of seasonal events and special assemblies such as Christmas. Furthermore in the event of bad weather we monitor 1st and 2nd years" Cedric expanded as the group rounded the corner on to the corridor where the entrance to Hufflepuff common room was.
"We also monitor the train rides, we patrol the carriages ensuring there is no unrest. We do a similar job at night. As a prefect you're curfew is extended by 3 hours and in those 3 hours you host any detentions you've given, patrol the corridors-making sure everyone's in their common room and if someone's not you have to escort them back to it an-Ah! This is the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room" Queenie cut herself off once they reached the Hufflepuff common room, the stacked barrels.
"Now to get in you tap the barrel two from the bottom in the middle of the second row to the syllable rhythm of 'Helga Hufflepuff' . Now our house is the only one who's door will open if a student from another house if their' intentions are good and they ask they barrels, stating their intention" Cedric instructed
"Want to try" he gave one of the first year girls, Shanti Mozder, a smile as he asked her and she blushed furiously doing what he'd instructed her to do. The barrel in the middle opened, revealing a passage.
The group clambered through, to see the two other prefect pairs had already arrived but only just. The first years stood looking in awe at what was to be their new home. It was much like a badgers burrow, everything was circular and connected by large open corridors. The room had several large porthole windows that were positioned high up. Through the windows you could see the rolling Scottish countryside, but the grass blades were pressed to pains of glass indicating the common room itself was below ground level. The majority of the interior was honey wood panelling and door frames and earthy green and sunny yellow paint. The furniture in the common room was multiple cosy chairs and sofas in natural colours around a huge mantlepiece that had the Hufflepuff emblem secured on the wall above it. Branching off from the common room were severel corridors that were also in fact rooms because they were so wide and furniture had been used to fill them. The corridor to the boys dorm was a study space and a library and the corridor to girls dorms were a 'muggle area' designed to help muggle borns still feel slightly at home and the half bloods a chance to experience a life they only see when at home. The pure bloods didn't really know what any of the stuff was but went along with it anyway. The 'muggle area' had a radio, lots of muggle board games, some more sofas and chairs, classic muggle music and some muggle instruments. The corridor to the girls dorm also housed the 'other entrance' to the kitchen that only Hufflepuffs could use meaning they were the only house with 24/7 access to the kitchen.
"First years, if I could have your attention please?" Queenie said above the chatter of the house and the first years (all 21 of them) gathered round where her and Cedric stood by the door, on the wall beside them a notice board which was above a chest of draws each draw of which was labelled.
"Now ladies and gentlemen, this notice here will contain all up to date information on Hogwarts. It'll contain information on the Triwizard Tournament and next year it'll be your first port of call for your information on Quiddicth tryouts. It also has a praise area, if you wish to thank someone, regardless of their house, white their names down on here and our house ghost the fat friar will deliver a chocolate frog to them. Now as myself and a few other 5th and 6th year Hufflepuffs run a few clubs in the great hall after school, such as Muggle life skills which is like domestic science and a Muggle computer science workshop, notices about those will also be up here … And underneath in this chest of drawers is the spare equipment. When leaving Hufflepuff in your 7th year you are asked to donate everything you don't need so if a cub, which is an affectionate nickname for Hufflepuff first years, or any other year have misplaced their own they can borrow one … oh, and look Professor Sprout has even labelled them up this year" Queenie told them.
"Now before we dismiss you tomorrow morning, Ced and myself will be doing a tour of the school, like a whole tour-alway the way from Astronomy to Care of Magical Creatures. You can come if you want and other houses are also welcome as we are the only house offering it. We'll be meeting at the entrance to grand hall and 6am sharp" Queenie finished and the group of first years dispersed.
Later that night, Cedric and Queenie were cuddled up on a chair by the fire in the common room. Cedric was sat on the chair and Queenie was sat on him. Her arms were wrapped around his neck and his arms brought her close to him by her waist. Their friends were also sat with them, the group had talked about the Triwizard Tournament and Cedric's wish to enter, Queenie's clubs and workshops that the girls helped out with that to no surprise had been continued that year, their summer's, what happened at Queenie's party, planning Cedric's party, Prefect duties that begun tomorrow and the possibility of Harry getting into another life or death situation though. Now the conversation had finished and they were sat in comfortable silence.
"Little one its nearly 10:30 do you think we should call it a night? … little one?" Cedric repeated when she didn't answer him. He looked down and found her flat out on his chest. Cedric smiled down at her before scooping her up in a bridal fashion and carrying her to his dorm. Once their he placed Queenie's feet in the floor and leaned her unconscious body in him as he wrestled to get her clothes off without letting her fall. When she was in only her matching navy, wired, plunge bra and panties both of which had navy laced trims he placed her gently on his bed before stripping himself, completely (he'd taken to sleeping nude sometime in 5th year, after he discovered it to be more comfortable, both Queenie and his dorm mates knew this-in fact all of his dorm mates did the same so the real challenge was trying to get Queenie in and out if his dorm without copping an eye full) and slipping in himself. He closed the curtains around his bed and laid down, pulling her into him and quickly drifted off to sleep himself.

The young couple woke at around 5:25am the next morning. Queenie was laid on her stomach, flat against the mattress. Her arms were bought up and bent at the elbows so her head could rest on her hands. Cedric lay on top of her. His stomach was flush to her back. One of hands was resting on the underside of Queenie's body, his palm was flat to her stomach and his other arms lay on top of one Queenie's, his hand laying on her head. Cedric own head on his elevated arm and slightly on Queenie's shoulder. Their legs were tangled together under the sheets.
"We shoos get up" Cedric mumbled into the soft, warm flesh of her neck.
"Urgh … I know" Queenie groaned lightly, wiggling around under him.
"Er! L-little on-urgh! One don't" Cedric deep morning voice asked. Queenie felt his bare manhood pressing against the inside of her thigh.
"Really Ced?"
"Listen you also infiltrate my dreams and some times in my dreams we get more than a little … close, shall we say? It's really not my fault"
"Well if you ever feel like recreating one these dreams feel free to let me know" Queenie said cheekily, pulling herself up for under Cedric and sitting in the edge of his bed. Cedric groaned in response and Queenie stretched her long limbs out.
"Can I shower first, Ced?" Queenie said unclasping her bra and letting her boobs bounce around freely as she began to wiggle her her panties off.
"I was going to go in quickly then you could take a bit longer little one … accio towels" Cedric said and 2 large fluffy white bath sheets (neatly folded) appeared on his messy bed.
"That was my logic apart from the fact you'd get longer because it's your bathroom, not mine" She explained. By now Queenie's panties were off and they had both wrapped themselves in a towel each.
They hopped out of Cedric's bed and lightly padded across his dorm to the adjoining bathroom.
"We could shower together?" Queenie suggested as Cedric locked the door. When he turned his 'little one' was stood before him in all her glory. Her goddess replica body did nothing to help his early morning arousal, especially now it was nude.
"But it's strictly showering, got it? No funny business" her tone was light and cheeky but both knew she was serious. Cedric nodded, uttering a small:
"Duh" They hopped into the shower and stood under the shower head, drenching themselves in the warm water. After a few minutes Queenie got Cedric's shampoo, squirting some into her hand.
"Come here" Queenie said softly, balancing on her tip toes as she began to wash his hair. Cedric followed her lead, putting some of his shampoo in his hands and washing Queenie's hair while she was washing his. Obviously Queenie had to use Cedric's toiletries as her's were back in her dorm. As he washed her hair, Cedric looked down at her to see what he was doing but her boobs leaping with each rub of shampoo in to his scalp. This proved very distracting and caused his issue to become more painful and craving of relief.
Once they'd rinsed out the shampoo (Queenie having to skip conditioning her hair as Cedric didn't have any) the two moved on to washing. Much like with the shampoo, Queenie took the initiative pouring some of Cedric's body was into her small hands. Queenie placed her hand on his chest and began to soflty caress his skin, creating small circles as she washed him. Cedric followed suit, washing her soft skin with great delicacy.
"This is the first time I think I've touched you like this without anything happening" he mused and she laughed, tilting her head down and away the blasting shower spray. Upon looking down she saw Cedric's throbbing, swollen and red manhood that dream had got him all the way to bring of release before he'd awoke and was left with a currently painful reminder. Queenie quickly guessed how long it would take to relieve Cedric and how much time they had before they had to get to the hall. She ran her hands down under the guise of still washing him before she quickly and suddenly clasped his length. Cedric jerked forward, clutching on to Queenie's shoulders.
"li-ttle one-e" he moaned as she began to clamp her hand around him as she moved it up and down. She delivered one full stroke to his manhood and he came undone. Cedric grunted and groaned quietly as he released.
"That dream must have really got to you" Queenie smiled and Cedric offered a small grin of agreement. They both continued to rinse off the soap on bodies as Cedric recovered.
"Wow, showered in 13 minutes. Aren't we Mr and Mrs Speedy-gonzarles " Queenie giggled as the re-entered the dorm. Cedric laughed in response and watched as his beloved scampered from his dorm to her own so she could get dressed, wash her face, clean her teeth and do her makeup and hair.
They met in the common room 5 minutes later dressed and ready for school. Cedric took Queenie's bag and her hand and they began to stride towards the great hall
"We're are going to makeup for that missed opportunity of love making" he informed her casually as if they were discussing the weather.
"I didn't expect anything less and it's your birthday in 3 days so …" Queenie winked
"Ooo, I can't think of anything I'd want more than you for my 17th birthday. Preferably in none or very little clothes and willing to take a long night"
"I'm always willing"
"I still like to check"
-line break-
When they reached the Great Hall the entire female 1st year were there and the 13 Hufflepuff boy cubs, 9 Ravenclaws, 2 Gryffindor and 1 Slytherin (who Queenie knew was Gemma's brother)
"Right guys, you ready?" Cedric asked, his question was greeted by a sea of squeals and giggles from the girls that totally drowned out the boys answer.
After an hour and a half the tour had come to an end, starting where they had begun outside the great hall. They'd gone all the way around the school, informed them about the teachers that taught certain lessons as they passed the classroom. Queenie had had to explain about the moving staircases after they ended up on one and ALL the girls had literally jumped on Cedric, clutching on to him where ever they could.
Queenie and Cedric entered the great hall, hand in hand and gossip quickly began as people noticed them. The two teens didn't seem to perturbed by the chatter that was 99.9% likely about them, they just sat down and began breakfast.
"Well I heard from Jessica who heard it from Helen who overheard Diane telling Ellie that he's an absolute tiger in bed-apparently she came so many times she couldn't walk for days afterwards" they heard a 5th year Slytherin, Elouise Farly tell here friends. Cedric and Queenie shared a look but they knew this was going to happen and both of them were pretty sure it was Marie who had told Cho (who'd chosen to sit with some Ravenclaws on the train) and that she'd been overheard and it had been spread through school and added to.
"… well I was sat with Yvonne when she was chatting with her friends in the common room and I was waiting for you lot to come down and I gathered that the Hogwarts' royalty may be a lady on the streets but a slut between the sheets. Apparently she was begging for golden boy's dick" Will Ross, a 7th year Ravenclaw said and Cedric choked on his drink which he quickly disguised as a cough and Queenie played along, taking the part of a loving, overly fussy girlfriend.
"You ok?" Queenie asked in over the top coo
"Yes, just a tickle. Don't worry yourself little one" Cedric kissed her head and a 2nd year Gryffindor didn't even bother to hide her comment of:
" … Well I can see why, I mean I'd like to be f **ked by him"
