I don't own Harry Potter.

Chapter 3

It was about a half an hour later before they could continue the conversation. Anya still had tears streaming down her cheeks but was able to form sentences. "I saw it Cedric and we need to fix this. I have a plan but we need help. Mum and dad will help when they can but they can't be at Hogwarts with us and Hogwarts is essential somehow. "

Cedric was still in shock two years it seems like such a short time left to live. Then he heard what she was saying "Help? Who are we going to get to help us?"

"I don't know why Cedric but Harry Potter's fate and yours are entangled. He has to help us and in order to get him to help us we need Hermione Granger do you know them?"

"Yeah they are Gryffindor's third years. Hermione is his best friend." This brought a smile to Anya's face.

"Best friends like us?"

Cedric frowned trying to remember what he knew about them minus the wild rumors. "I'm not sure but you never really see one without the other. Why?"

"Oh Cedric, this is perfect! Hermione will be in France with her parents for July. Mum has to go finish closing the house up and I will go with her and get Hermione's help. You have two things to do you must convince your dad to approach mine about a betrothal."

Cedric interrupted "betrothal? We are moving awfully fast."

"Two years Cedric! Next you need to write Harry Potter and become pen pals."

Cedric looked at her like she was crazy "you expect me to just write to harry Potter out of nowhere and he will trust me enough to correspond?"

"Hmm. Oh we need a house elf. Write to Harry asking him about the elf he freed and see if he can help you get in touch with him. You need to hire that elf at whatever terms he wants" she said this with a big smile as though it would be that simple.

"Ok I will write to Harry. When will you leave for France?"

"Tomorrow so kiss me good night and I will write you daily." Cedric hoped Anya knew what she was doing. At the moment he was more than willing to kiss her and not think about dying.

This somehow earned Cedric a kiss before Anya yelled "DOBBY!" A pop and there was the strangest elf he had on a dirty old tea towel and a sock. "Dobby, are you a free elf?"

"Yes, missus I is a free elf now. "

"How much pay are you requesting?"

The elf was vibrating with excitement "Yous wants to hire dobby? Yes missis I am wants a galleon a month and one day off."

"Okay dobby you're hired. I have a very special job for you. Harry Potter will be leaving his relatives house some night very soon. He will walk to the end of Privet drive and in an alleyway there will be a large black dog that isn't quite a dog. He doesn't mean Harry harm he just wants to see him. Once the dog has seen harry stun him and bring him here okay?"

When Harry Potter was mentioned Dobby started bouncing in excitement. "This helps the great Harry Potter Sir?"

"Yes, Dobby this will be a big help to Harry. Can you do this for me?"

"Dobby can mistress" with that he popped away.

Cedric was confused "Anya what does any of this have to do with Harry Potter?"

"Cedric in order to save you I have to save Harry also and this is the first step in doing that. You need to ask your mom if he can stay with you for the rest of the summer."

"I don't understand. How does stunning a dog help Harry and what are you going to do with it once you have it?"

"Simple the dog will be important and daddy will take him to France for us to hide him till Dobby can get the rat."

"I still don't understand."

"I know, we can talk about this or go snog and you can feel my breasts. It will be fun."

This had Cedric speechless again. That didn't stop him from pushing Anya to stand up off of his lap grabbing her hand and running to his room.

An hour later Cedric was on his bed with Anya both of their shirts were off and his underwear were uncomfortably sticky. He had his head on her chest with her fingers running through his hair and was trying to put today into perspective. He had gotten a beautiful girlfriend that he was supposedly going to marry. His girlfriend knew that he wanted to have sex with a man and seemed to be encouraging it. There was a strong possibility that he wouldn't live past seventeen. He turned his head to look at Anya's face and decided that overall this may have been the best day of his life so far.
