Thank you so much for reading! On with the story... (btw i dont own anything sadly enough) k bye! =]
The next day Allie and Harry attended classes. Snape was an ass hat to Allie like always but Professor Lupin was oddly nice to her. She looked into his mind and saw that he accepted her. Any awkwardness between them evaporated. Even if they were on good terms, Allie still thought he smelt bad.
She had gotten used to Jacob's scent growing up, but Lupin's was worse. Probably because he didn't have a choice when it came to changing his form. The wolf part of him was in control, in Jacob's case he decided when he wanted to shift his shape. Jake's ability was a blessing while Lupin's was a curse.
During the free period Allie and Hermione went to the library. They read quietly and once in a while would pass a note, just like the school girls they so desperately didn't want to be like.
So you think Krum will be the Durmstrang champion?
How would I know? I thought we didn't care about this tournament?
We don't but that doesn't mean you don't care about Hottie McQuidditch.
Allie!
What!? I'm just saying you to have been sharing some glances at meal times. And don't even try to deny it, I've seen you.
Hermione scoffed and threw the note away. Allie flashed a very Malfoy like smirk. She was pretty sure Hermione had never had a boyfriend before. And she thought it was cute that she was trying to hide the little flirtation her and Krum had going on.
When the free period was over the two girls reluctantly headed to Divinations. They both thought the subject was ridiculous. Hermione quit last year, but it's a required class so she had to rejoin. Allie knew that you can't be taught to see the future, you either see it or you don't. Jacob told her that her aunt Alice could see the future and when someone would ask her father what was going to happen he would always respond 'I don't know but I'm betting on Alice'.
The memory made her smile. She missed Jacob. She would have to write him soon. They climbed up the stairs into the dark room that reeked of incense. They sat at a table that was in front of Ron and Harry's, they said their hellos to the pair. The sound of Professor Trelawney's bangles rattled and the students turned to see their teacher enter.
"Welcome students. It is a good day to be looking into the beyond!" Allie and Hermione rolled their eyes which caused Pavarti and Lavender to glare at them. "Everyone grab a crystal ball and start your journey into the future!" They did as instructed but Allie didn't bother trying to connect to anything.
She didn't see the point. When she looked in that stupid crystal ball all she saw was smoke. She didn't she that fact changing today or any other day. Unlike Allie, Hermione, Ron and, Harry did not rebel. They tried to look for symbols in their crystal balls.
Professor Trelawney went around the room helping people find signs that weren't there. When she came to Allie and Hermione's table she gasped. It caused Allie to jump she stared at her teacher like she were nuts.
"Your aura dear" She grasped at Allie's shoulder, Allie tried to shrug it off but the small woman had a death grip on her. "Are you in the beyond?"
Allie pursed her lips. "No"
"Are you sure, dear girl?"
"Yes."
"Well gaze into your crystal ball. What do you see?" Allie thought she would amuse her professor and do as she asked. She looked into the crystal and saw... wow surprise. Smoke.
"I see nothing but smoke."
"Are you sure dear? Try again."
Allie sighed and looked again, She was tired of trying to see something that wasn't going to show up. So now she was going to have some fun.
"You will die in seven days." Allie said in grave voice.
"What?" Trelawney sounded frightened and excited at the same time.
"You will die in seven days."
"That's not what's in the crystal dear, how did you come up with that?"
"The Ring" a voice called. Allie looked around the room to find the voice's owner. In the doorway stood Cedric Diggory. He was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed like one of those BA guys from an old 50's movie. He was looking straight at Allie. "Am I correct?"
Allie stared at him in amazement, she had an open mouthed smile spread across her face. "Yeah."
"Excuse me what is the Ring?" Trelawney asked.
"It's a muggle movie professor. You watch this movie and then a girl calls you and says you'll die in seven days, right?"
Now Allie was full on smiling. She nodded.
"Well dear I'm sorry to see that you do not take this class seriously. You could have the gift of divinations but with this attitude you will never be in the beyond." She turned to Cedric. "Is there something you needed, my dear boy?"
"Yes, Professor McGonigal asked me to deliver this note to you." He walked over to hand her said note.
"Thank you. Now if you'll excuse me I have students to help who would actually like to learn the secrets to seeing the future." She walked to the other side of the room where Lavender and Pavarti sat at their table staring at their crystal balls.
Allie shook her head in the general direction of the frizzy haired woman. She looked to her right to see that Hermione had went back to Harry and Ron's table to help them make out some sign in their crystal balls. Allie then turned back to the front to see that Cedric was still standing in front of her.
"Hi." he said. "I'm Cedric, Cedric Diggory." He extended his hand to Allie. She gladly except it. "Allie Cullen."
"I know who you are" He replied with a smile. "Nice going with trying to pull off that stunt with Trelawney. Quoting the Ring, it's a good one."
"It would have worked if you wouldn't have ruined it with your knowledge of muggle movies." she teased. He frowned.
"Yeah, sorry about that. Didn't mean to get you in trouble." He rubbed the back of his neck.
"No problem, I'm actually quite impressed. Not many people here would have got that. And I was being a smart ass anyway, I deserved to get in a little trouble."
"Your impressed with me?" Allie nodded. "Well mission accomplished then." He said in a flirty voice. He chuckled a nervous chuckle. Allie grinned in response. "Well I'd better get back to class. Are you going to be there tonight when they announce the champions?"
"Yeah, I'll be there."
"Great, I'll see you later then." He turned to leave. "Oh and Allie" She looked up at him. "Try to stay out of trouble." He winked at her before exiting the classroom.
----------------------------------------------
"Girls! Come on!" Ron yelled up the girls stairs. Him and Harry were waiting for Allie and Hermione to come down to go to the Great Hall for the champion selection. Normally the girls would have sulked the whole way there but they were both actually kind of excited, even thought they would never admit it.
Allie didn't tell Hermione what happened that afternoon in Divinations, Hermione did ask what Cedric was doing there for so long but Allie just replied that they were talking about movies. Allie didn't flirt and tell.
They made it to the Great Hall and found a spot on the bleachers. Allie looked around the room in hopes of seeing Cedric but made eye contact with Draco instead. He smiled at her and she waved back to her Potions partner. Harry had said nothing but bad things about him but she had not seen any of the nasty traits Harry had described. In potions the two got along and Draco turned out to be very helpful.
She continued to scan the room but still didn't see Cedric. "Looking for someone?" a deep voice whispered in her ear. She suppressed a smile that was trying to break across her face. She turned to see the handsome boy she had been looking for. Harry also turned to see who was talking. When he saw Cedric with Allie he snarled. He had to turn away so Allie would not see- or hear thanks to her ability- how jealous Harry was.
"Nope, not at all." She responded lifting her chin in defiance. She refused to let Cedric know she was looking for him.
He raised his eyebrows at her. "OK, troublemaker. I just thought I would come over to say hi and see if maybe I could get you to wish me luck."
Oh man. Why is he such a smooth talker? "Good luck."
"Thank you." From a far off bleacher she heard some one call "Come on Ced!".
He turned to wave at the boy to leave him alone. "The natives are growing restless without their leader. You'd better get back." She would have liked him to stay but she knew it wasn't going to happen.
"Yeah, I probably should." he made no movement that indicated that he was going to leave.
"Was there something else?" Allie asked, her heart beating in her throat.
He started to say something then stopped. "Nope, that's it."
"OK." She said a little disappointed. "See you around then."
"Defiantly" He walked away, perfectly. Allie finally let her smile out not having act cool anymore.
"Allie Cullen!" Hermione all but shrieked. "You snagged the attention of Cedric Diggory! One of the most eligible guys at Hogwarts!"
Allie giggled very uncharacteristically. "It was nothing"
"Mhmm" Hermione said sarcastically.
"I'm sorry did you want to talk about Viktor Krum?" That shut Hermione up right away.
"What about Krum?" Ron demanded to know.
"If I could have your attention we will begin the selection of the champions." Dumbledore stated. He dimmed all the lights in the room.
Ron leaned over to Harry and whispered "Here we go".
