*Violet's POV*

"Cedric!" I called out, spotting him standing stiffly by the Lake. He tilted his head towards me, trying to decipher if I was real or not. Then, he turned around completely, and I abruptly stopped in front of him, both of us staring at each other intently. "I'm sorry." I murmured. He pursed his lips, his eyes darkening.

"Why did you do it?" He murmured, keeping a reasonable distance from me.

"I don't know…I don't know what came over me, it just happened out of nowhere,"

"Do you love him?"

"Cedric, he's very important to me, I can't deny that, but love is a very strong word to describe how I feel."

"Fine. What about me?"

I paused, not sure what to tell him. Did I love him? He started shaking his head, as if he already knew my answer.

"You don't have to answer that," Cedric growled, avoiding eye contact with me. I wanted him so badly to hold me and tell me it was okay, and that mistakes happen. I wanted him to forgive me and take me back as if nothing had ever happened. But that was far from the case at hand, because at that current moment, he acted as if being there at the Lake with me was worst possible place to be at in all the world. I took a huge gulp, then grabbed his hands. We finally locked eyes, and I felt a shudder go down my spine.

"Cedric, it was a huge mistake, on my part. I don't know what came over me, but I promise I would never do anything ever again to hurt you. I like you so much, I can never stay angry at you. I hope that is a mutual feeling," I murmured, pulling him closer to me.

"Violet, I-"

"Violet?"

I turned around to see Harry walking over to Cedric and I, completely dumbfounded. IF someone was more confused than him, that would have been me.

"Harry? What the bloody hell are you doing here?" I shouted, pulling away from Cedric.

"Me? What are you doing here? Are you trying to stalk me?"

"Stalk you? Don't flatter yourself!" Harry snarled, his mouth agape by the sight he was seeing. Cedric grabbed my hand, yanking me away from Harry.

"Violet, we should just get out of here right now. Before things get too serious," he suggested, but I wouldn't budge.

"What is your problem, Harry? Why are you constantly following me? Don't you have better things to do with your life? Like studying, or maybe researching so you don't die in the Tournament?"

"Tournament? Who bloody cares about the Tournament? I'm tired of you playing every guy you meet. First Cedric, than you con me into thinking that you like me? Did that kiss mean absolutely nothing to you?" Harry shouted, swinging his arms up in the air.

"No, it's not like that-"

"Then what's it like, Violet? You're saying you actually did enjoy that kiss?" Cedric pressed further, now backing away from Violet in pure shock.

"I'm not saying that! Would you two just listen to me?" I exclaimed, but was soon drowned out by Harry's continued rant.

"No, I can't listen to you! You're heartless, Violet. You may be incredibly smart when it comes to books, but when it comes to handling social problems, you're as dumb as a rock. You avoided me these past few days, just so you could go and snog Diggory!"

"I wasn't with her the past few days…were you with someone else?" Cedric yelled, now starting to get fired up.

"I swear, I wasn't!"

"Malfoy seemed to know a whole lot, maybe she was busy trying to get in between him and Danni. She's good at those types of things! I'm done with you!" Harry screeched, then stormed off back to the castle.

"Harry, please, wait up!" I called after him, but Cedric just stared at me silently, and suddenly turned and left me behind too. "Cedric! Please, you don't understand. Someone…anyone…listen." I sobbed, falling to my knees. I felt a swearing pain in the pit of my stomach, and I clenched the clumps of grass on the ground. "Incendio" popped up in my head, and the grass around me erupted in flames.

I wasn't scared, I was too absorbed in my guttural screams of anger and sadness to worry. The flames rose higher and higher around me, as my madness soared. I beat the ground with my fist, and the flames flickered to the beat of my fists. I heard a hissing noise inside my head, and a very faint voice, as if someone was trying to whisper to me through all the cracking of the fire. I sniffled, hiccupping on my tears, trying to listen to what the voice was saying. The flames slowly subsided and I just heard the one lone word that would haunt my dreams for weeks to come. "Good."

Hey guys! Long time, no write! I have been very very busy, and I feel like I haven't written in forever. I'm going to try and schedule times for me to write more frequently, so I think I'll write on Fridays one or two chapters, and then post them on either Saturday or Sunday. Anyway, I hope you guys liked this chapter, and tune in this weekend for a new installment.

Those of you who are following up with my Star Wars fanfic, "Hyperdrive", I'm thinking of also doing the weekend policy. I might do something like, one weekend is Ignition chapters, and the next weekend is Hyperdrive, and then it goes on like that. We'll see how that works out. Don't forget to review, favorite, follow, or share. Thanks for the support, and stay awesome, Gotham. -April
