A few weeks later Cedric and Queenie were sat in History of Magic, one of two classes they shared. The two were sat next to each other (obviously) working on their mind maps which would add to their revision notes for their N.E.W.T's. The spider diagrams were one how the Gloykenstien Wizarding War between Bora Bora and Finland which lasted between 1578 to 1711 impacted Modern Wizarding Politics and Class systems. Professor Binns was currently floating at the pair's table, distracting them while they were trying to work.

"… Then you Miss Askoy, getting an O despite sitting her exam a year early! Pray, what did you get in your Ancient Runes O.W.L?" The ghost professor babbled

"Erm, O professor" Queenie replied whilst trying to hurriedly scribble down Finish ministers who were key individuals during the war.

"Well aren't you a bright girl … but obviously not that bright, Sir Wilfred Tangsman was the Finish minister for soldiers enrolment not soldiers dismissal, that's Gene Harroway" he voice adopting a snooty tone at the end before floating away.

"Yes sir, thank you sir, I knew that sir but it would have helped if I didn't have a doddery old ball of ectoplasm who dawdles around in a dressing gown all day long rabbiting in my ear about his last ever pumpkin pastry as an actual person" Queenie seethed and Cedric laughed, squeezing her knee lightly under the table. The door then flew open and a rather red faced Collin Creevey stood there.

"Um, excuse me. Professor Binns?" He puffed, trying to regain some breath and the whole class turned to look at him, including the Professor

"What Creevey? Shouldn't you be in Herbology?" The professor asked bluntly.

"No sir, divination but Mr Bagman wishes for Cedric to go downstairs to classroom 108. The champions are having their photos done and some other stuff" Collin countered and Binns sighed before uttering:

"Alright Diggory, off you go" Cedric packed away his things quickly, shoving everything into his bag. He stood up, pushing his chair in and placed a peck on Queenie's lips.

"Put her down Mr Diggory" Binns sighed and the class erupted into cheeky giggles and wolf whistles.

"… oh and of course Cedric, a boy as handsome as yourself must be very popular with the ladies? How are you finding all the attention?" Rita Skeeter asked what seemed like her millionth question but probably in reality only her 6th. Cedric found been locked in a dingy, dark storeroom for a classroom that hasn't been used in years with a woman who overly tactile (she had stroked his face once, slyly groped his leg and 'accidentally' brushed her leg against his crouch) a tortuously long experience.

"Erm … it's odd, I suppose. People don't know us as the champions but they're all over us" Cedric replied warily as she began to smirk in a failing seductive fashion.

"Oh come on! You're the true Hogwarts champion-Potter's just a little runt that snuck in and Krum's far to coarse for the ladies of theses schools, please you must be positively swarmed with simpering, young ladies everywhere you go!"

"We're all champions so we each get a fair share of attention. Girls that like us, like us because we appeal to them in a certain way. For example Krum's moody attitude might appeal to some people" Cedric countered, Rita sighed and opened the door

"Go" she said exasperated, flicking her head in the direction of the open door. Cedric didn't need to be told twice. He quickly slipped out the cupboard but he still felt her hand skim his backside as he did. Cedric resisted turning round and giving her a pointed glare instead just rolled his eyes.

Later after Harry had arrived and been dragged into the Dragon's den and his brief conversation with Fleur who was really the only one talking as she just went on and on and on refusing to let Cedric get a word in it was finally time for the wand weighing. Mr Ollivander had made a special visit to the school and was assessing their wands.

"Mr Diggory, you're next" Mr Ollivander's voice nudged him out of his trance in which he was currently thinking of all the thinks he could be doing that was better than this. Cedric was quite grateful to Mr Ollivander's interruption as his thoughts had just turned to something he could have been doing with Queenie, in private, that was starting to get him a bit agitated. Cedric got up, passing Fleur who had just had her wand weighed and was sitting back down. She gave him a flirtatious smiled that he responded to with a polite smile as not to encourage her. Upon reaching Mr Ollivander he pulled, what he though was his wand out of his pocket. Cedric pulled out a 10 inch Cherry wood wand that had a delicate and feminine pattern carved intricately into it.

"Mr Diggory unless I'm mistaken that is a young Lady called Queenie Askoy's wand" Mr Ollivander began and Cedric reached back into his pocket pulling out his own wand.

"No, sir you're not mistaken … she must have put in my pocket so she didn't have to put it in her school bag where it could snap" Cedric explained putting his girlfriend's wand away and handing his own over, saying:

"This is mine" Mr Ollivander took the wand, examining it

"Ah, now, this is one of mine, isn't it?" Mr Ollivander said with great enthusiasm

"Yes, I remember it well. Containing a single hair from the tail of a particularly fine male unicorn … must have been seventeen hands; nearly gored me with his horn after I plucked his tail. Twelve and a quarter inches … ash … pleasantly springy. It's in a fine condition … You treat it regularly?" Mr Ollivander finished with a question

"Well, I polished it but mainly my girlfriend who takes really good care of hers end up doing mine too" Cedric admitted and Mr Ollivander smiled before calling up Krum

Cedric came back from the interview with Rita Skeeter and the wand weighing, utterly exhausted and emotionally drained. Rita Skeeter was 43 but yet she was throwing herself all over him, Krum … merlin, even Harry! He really just wanted to cuddle with his 'little one' and get the day over with and return her wand. He entered the great hall which was all ready bustling, all the students enjoying lunch.

"Lost something, dear?" Cedric asked, dangling Queenie's wand in front of her face when he reached their spot on the Hufflepuff table.

"Oh! There it is! I've just had to bluff my way through charms thinking I'd lost it permanently" Queenie breathed a sigh of relief, taking her wand as Cedric sat down next to her. He quickly placed a kiss on her lips before ladle long himself some Minestrone Soup.

"So how was it" Queenie asked and all their friends that were there made noises of agreement wanting to know. Cedric rolled his sighing before taking a deep breath and beginning:

"Well …"
