Saturday morning ... *birds tweet*

Harry sat at the breakfast table, sorely missing the company of Ron and Hermione, who he hadn't seen in a long time. He prodded his cereal, feeling lonely.

Katie plopped down beside Harry, since she couldn't find the twins or Oliver anywhere.
"Good morning, Harry!" she chirped far too brightly.

"Hi Katie," he said, sounding miserable. He spooned some cereal into his mouth.

Katie's spirits drooped a little.
"What's wrong?" she asked Harry.

"I just haven't seen Ron and Hermione in a long time," replied Harry, pushing away the cereal bowl. "Nice weather huh?" he commented, glancing up at the stormy skies.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Katie sympathised. "I wonder where they are." She peered up at the sky. "Eurgh, the weather. I hope Oliver cancels practise today...but I doubt it."


<lmao you shoulda seen in the cb i said that you shoulda replied saying that it was morning sickness...but i was kidding anyway haha>

Harry groaned and pushed his hair out of his eyes. "We'll all get hypothermia or something," he said.

Cedric walked into the great hall. He cast a glance at the Hufflepuff table, and was somewhat happy to see that Stella wasn't there.
If she had been he'd probably walk straight out...
Isabella wasn't there either, he noticed that the Ravenclaw table was almost empty.
No Oliver either... Cedric thought, and waved at Harry and Katie.

Harry blinked at Cedric, whilst pouring himself a glass of orange juice.

"Yeah," Katie grumbled, grabbing Harry's cereal and eating it. "Where is Oliver, anyways? Ah, he's prolly off making out with...er, never mind." Katie choked on her cereal.

"Making out with?" asked Harry interestedly, leaning forwards.

"Er, yeah," Katie said, hastily drinking some pumpkin juice. "Prolly Cederella or someone, there are lots of candidates, actually." She hoped that she wasn't scarring Harry for life.

Cedric went to sit at the Huffies table. He poored himself some milk, and sighed.
He wasn't hungry at all. The only reason he still wasn't in bed - was that he had too much on his mind.

"Wow really? Oliver's like the new Roger Davies huh?" said Harry, sounding impressed. "Cederella?"

Cedric thought he heard Harry and Katie talk about Oliver, and looked up - trying to listen in on the conversation.

"Yeah, pretty much," Katie said. She pointed to the Hufflepuff table. "Over there...that's Cederella." Cedric's expression was unreadable.

Harry smirked and winked at Cedric. "So is he gay?"

Cedric raised his eyebrows as Katie pointed at him...
What the hell have I done wrong this time? He thought. His eyes grew somewhat black again.
This weren't the time to let the anger get the best of him, though...

Katie grinned and waved at the angry face which was Cedric.
"Er, maybe," she said to Harry. "I really don't know anymore."

Cedric was confused and hurt. He sighed, and looked at his hands shiver - trying to calm himself.
Counting slowly, backwards.... "10 hippogriffs... 9 hippogriffs... 8 hippogriffs..." that helped.
Well, the hurting I deserve. He thoght. I brought this upon myself.

Harry was somewhat unnerved by Cedric's eyes going black ...

Cedric sighed - again. He seemed to have been doing a lot of that lately.
Perhaps he should go find Oliver - or Isabella... or both? And set things straight.
He loved them both, but had made his choice.
It obviously isn't enought that I hurt myself... He thought. I have to hurt others as well. Nice going Cedric.

Stella came into the Great Hall with some of her fellow Huffie girls. She noticed Cedric at the table and grinned.
"I'll see you guys later." She said, and went to sit next to him.

Cedrics eyes narrowed... "Here comes the pain..." He muttered, and took a sip of his milk.

Isabella was feeling rather hungry and hurried, though tried not to look to rushy, and walked into the great hall. There weren't many people on her house table, but she kept her eyes down as she walked and made her way to the table.
She was thinking of Cedric, and also her lessons. She sighed lightly and got together some pancakes. She loved pancakes.

Cedrics eyes shot up right before Isabella walked in, almost like his heart could hear her coming.
His eyes flashed back to grey - he couldn't be angry now.

As she ate her breakfast, her owl Mole, with others, flue into the room carrying the Daily Prophet.
She quickly swallowed what she was eating and sat up, reached over to her owl and took the paper, giving it some money in return.
She then opened the paper and began to read it, occational frowning and eating her pancakes

Cedric sighed as Stella sat down next to him. However, he turned to give her a smile.
She looked really angry.
"What's wrong?" He asked, and frowned.

lee wandered into the great hall and sat down oposite katie and harry. he pulled a few slices of toast towards him and watched the two of them as they spoke quietly together.

Parvati walked into the great hall to get some breakfast and everyone, she sat beside Lee.
"Hullo everyone"

"hi parvati!" lee said.
"how did ou sleep?"

Stella had muttered a "nothing..." and when Cedric asked "are you sure?" she just glared at him.
"Fine then..." Cedric said, his jaw tightened, she reminded him of how angry he was just minutes ago.
He looked over at Isabella, got up, and walked over to her.
"You mind if I sit?" He asked, hoping that she had noticed he was there.

Isabella was reading her paper, but occasional looked over it to look at Cedric. And she thought he was going to look over, she would turn the page quickly and read it, and at one point she ripped the page and cursed under her breath, her cheeks redden.
She put the page down, but still reading it and looked up from it as she poured herself a drink of pumpkin juice. She took periodical sips from it.
While she was reading, she chocked on her drink and started coughing. There was an article about her father in the Daily Prophet. He was under the suspicion of being involved with the four killings of Muggles along with Death Eaters.
She didn't read the rest of the artical, and instead shut the paper hard. People looked at her, and she glared back at them. She was angry and upset. What she didn't know was her eyes were glowing a brighter green slightly, which mae people stare.
Isabella looked down, and then heard Cedrics voice. She looked up at him quickly "Sure..."

Cedric stiffened when he saw the look on her face.
"What's wrong?" He said, and sat down next to her.
"Read anything interesting in the paper?" It sounded like a joke gone bad - and he bit his lip.
He probably should had said that.

"hi parvati!" lee said.
"how did ou sleep?"

"Pretty good, how about you?"
Parvati said while reaching for some pumpkin juice.

"good thanks" said lee as he passed the pumpkin juice to parvati.
hiw picked up another slice of toast and buttered it. "i'm glad it's the weekend"

<<Are you online?!>>

"I know, weekends are great."
Parvati said smiling, and blushing alittle.

"so much free time! it's great!"
he smiled and looked at her while she ate her breakfast

Parvati stopped eating and looked at Lee smiling at her and smiled back.
"We should go to Hogsmead this weekend"

She didn't look at him, but looked down at the paper. She didn't want to tell him about her father... But if he reads the paper, he would find out.
She I tell him?
"Oh, nothing. I just chocked on my drink." still not looking at him.
She was lying to him... She shouldn't. She didn't like to lie, nor liked liers. But this was about her father... She somehow believed tha paper... He was a Slytherin himself. She never knew his side of the family. She didn't know if it ran in his blood. Killing Muggles.
She looked at him, about to tell him, her mouth slightly open to tell him. But she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Her heart was pounding, and she felt angry.
She looked down at the table again, her fists clenched, her eyes glowing green and tears filling them slowly.
She knew her eyes were glowing... She couldn't stop feeling angry.

Cedric noticed the changes on Isabellas face - and knew that it was wrong of him to ask her any other questions on the matter,
cause he didn't want to push her further.
He knew that it was more than just choking on a drink, cause that didn't cause people to break into tears, nor look as angry or confused as Isabella did.
Carefully, he wrapped his arms around her - and stroked her hair.
"Calm down, whatever it is - I'm sure it'll be all right." He whispered - still holding onto her.

She closed her eyes as he put his arms around her, a tear running down her cheek.
Isabella nodded at his words then pulled away, she had to tell him.
"It's my f-father ... He's," she looked at him for a few seconds then back at the paper "They think he was involved with the Muggle murdering ..."

Isabella looked back up at Cedric, hoping he wouldn't leave her.

Isabella looked back up at Cedric, hoping he wouldn't leave her.

"That is crazy..." Cedric said, and chuckeled. He could never imagine Isabellas father killing muggles,
knowing how good Isabella is... Then there was what she had told him on the train.
Her father coming home late, not treating their house elf good ... but this didn't make him a murderer.
Cedric frowned while he was thinking, none of this made sense.
"He couldn't be? I assume you read this in the paper?"

Isabella looked away "I know he is capable, Cedric. But I don't want to believe it of course."
She sighed, thinking of her father how he acted at home to her and her mother "He's a bloody liar! A fake!"
Her eyes watered again. She had seen him with others, acting differently ... or maybe that is the way he really was.
She didn't know what to believe. "I know some things in the papers aren't true... But somehow..." she broke off "My father is a bloody murderer!" she looked at Cedric, and when she blinked, a couple of tears fell down her face. Two people on her table looked at her and she glared back at them "What are you looking at?"

Isabella looked away again. She wanted to know the truth... But how could she?
"My father was a Slytherin... How my mother fell for him I don't know. She said he had a change of heart." she shook her head "I wonder what she is doing now..."

Cedric dried Isabellas tears away - glaring accusingly at the others - as if telling them to leave her alone.
"Have they caught him then? Because surely, if he isn't running away - it isn't true?"
Cedric took hold of her hands, looking into her eyes - trying to calm her.
"Would you feel better if you sent your mother an Owl? You could borrow mine,
I'll take you to the Owlery."
Cedric pulled her into another hug and whispered "It'll all be fine..."

Isabella nodded in his hug "Yeah... I'll know for sure what is going on"
They pulled away "Thanks, Cedric." she smiled
She knew no-one other than Cedric to talk to. She was grateful about everything.
"Are, are we going now?"

"Unless you want to finish your breakfast first?" Cedric looked worried, Isabella should eat,
it would help her deal with any stress that she might have to face.
"But - I know a way to get breakfast later..." Cedric was thinking aloud.
"You decide..." He said, and smiled.

"To get breakfast later?" she asked, not knowing what he meant
"I'd rather just go and send a letter and wait for a reply. I have no time for the breakfast right now" she looked at it "Besides, its almost all gone from my plate..."
She stood up and looked down a little so she couldn't see any faces. She straightened her clothes and looked at Cedric "Ready?"
She wanted answers ...
