Silently Screaming For Help

|Chapter 195 : Last Lunches|

"So where is it you're going?"

I'm meeting Cedric in the Great Hall before he heads down to the arena. I just want to make sure he eats some lunch

"And are you going to eat something?"

I'll try

"Please do try, Lia. Even if it's only a little" Draco urged quietly as I watched him pace over to his wardrobe, tugging off his shirt and discarding it into his washing basket as I watched him turn around, holding up two coat hangers

"Which one?"

The turtleneck

"Yeah?" He asked, eyebrows raised and a smirk tugging at his lips as I nodded before standing up from his bed and wandering over as I stepped in front of him and scanned through his wardrobe, taking his shirt back and hanging it back up before turning around and holding a black blazer up to him before taking the turtleneck from his hands and pairing it up with it and showing him, watching amused as he crossed his arms over his chest and a surprised look grew on his face

Would you rather something else?

"No, no I'll wear this. I'm just surprised you paired it so well"

Excuse you!

Turning away from him laughing I passed him the clothes before pulling out a pair of black trousers and turning around as I passed them to him before wrapping my arms around his neck, an amused grin on his face as he threw his clothes over his wardrobe door before moving his hands to my hips

"Are you wanting to sit with us?"

If you don't mind... I think Aaron and some of his friends might join us if that's okay?

"As long as we know where you are, that's what matters. And if you're with us, that's even better" he mumbled quietly, resting his forehead against mine with his eyes closed as I scanned his face, my thumb running across the back of his neck before moving my head and pressing a kiss to his cheek, hearing a light laugh get the better of him as he turned to look at me

"Is that all I'm getting?"

Possibly

"Oh? And why's that?" He asked quietly, shrugging and looking at him as I tried to bite back a laugh as he gave a small eye roll, turning his head and looking at the clothes he'd thrown over the door before I pulled him down slightly, a wide grin on his face after I'd pressed my lips to his as he wrapped his arms around me tighter and I moved my hand down to his side

"When are you meeting Diggory?"

I'll be leaving in a few minutes

"Amelia..."

Yes?

"You always go disappearing so soon"

You're welcome, I just love keeping you in suspense

"Clearly"

Don't be too somber, I'll be seeing you soon

"Yes, I know. But it still isn't the point" he told me quietly as I moved my hand and brushed his hair about, messing it up slightly with a laugh as he grabbed my hand and kissed me slowly, stepping me back and pressing me against his wardrobe door while holding my hand above my head, an amused smirk on his face as I ran my hand up to his chest, breaking away when I started to laugh as I dropped my head onto his shoulder, standing chest to chest with each other as I gently kissed at his exposed skin

"You're such a pain"

I am?

"You know you are"

I do, and I'm going to be a bigger pain...I need to go, I'll see you soon

"Amelia..." he groaned quietly, tilting his head back laughing as I slipped away from him grinning, heading towards his door as I was dragged back by my hips, my back hitting his chest as I turned to my head to look at him, a kiss getting pressed to my cheek before he let me go

"Now you can go"

"Thanks for your permission?" I asked laughing, giving him a look as he stood there smirking before I waved to him as I shut his door behind me and jogged from the stairs and through the common room. With a slight eerie feeling filling my stomach I slowed my pace through the dungeons as I looked down at my cold hands, trying to shake away the glowing white colour spreading over my fingers as I stopped confused, watching it eventually fade as my ring glowed slightly, raising an eyebrow when it slowly disappeared as I shook it off before carrying on up the stairs. Finally walking into the great hall I grinned, looking at Cedric who was sitting at the Hufflepuff table, staring down at the pie on his plate as I sat down next to him after reaching his side, his eyes still fixated on the untouched food

The food isn't going to eat itself

"Hm?"

You heard me

Laughing, he turned his head with his eyebrows raised, a smirk tugging at his face while he sat his fork down

"Actually, I didn't hear you"

This is no time for abuse, Diggory

"Try stop me" he scoffed as I shook my head laughing, picking up his fork and passing it back to him as he gave me a weak smile before I grabbed my ring from my finger and taking ahold of his left hand as I slid it onto his ring finger

"What's this?"

A little good luck token

"You think I need luck?"

No, but it's just an extra boost for you

"Do you really have that little faith in me?"

Yes

"You love to torment people, huh?"

Only you

"I wish it wasn't me" he murmured quietly as I turned to look at him, a grin wide on my face before I blew him a little kiss and he pretended to bat it away causing him to get nudged down the bench away from me

"I didn't mean it"

I see how it is

"Come here" getting hugged I tried to push his arms off, laughing loudly as I shook my head at him

"Better? Have I made it up to you?"

I suppose

"Well I'd hope so because you weren't getting an apology. Do you want to walk down with me?"

Ced, you've barely ate

"If I eat another bite I'm going to be sick"

Nervous?

"Shitting bricks"

Lovely. At least it's all over for you after today

"Don't remind me, I can't wait" he groaned rubbing his face before standing up off the bench, a bag of clothes beside him as I stood up, watching him grab the bag as we left the hall
