Dichotomy

by Yuuki no Yuki

Not every Slytherin ends up in the Snake Pit. Some cave to parental bias, some follow friends or family, and some make a calculated decision to align themselves with the most underestimated house in a bid for safety and security. Well, only one girl did that. But she read those books, no way was she dealing with all that plot. SI/OC Drabble Fic

She met up with Cedric over Easter. A compromise with her parents that let her leave the house.

He rambled about his Apprenticeship while she took note of his new apartment.

Cedric knew her enough to realize she was plotting, but trusted her enough to wait to be told what.

"Theo can't go home this year."

"No one will rent to him."

A raised brow.

"You want him to stay here?!"

"Just for the summer. He'll be 17 that November."

"...would he even want to-"

"-I. Don't. Care."

"...I mean...I don't mind."

"Thank you."
