Storms Ahead

|Chapter twenty nine : Brains|

"I must say Mr Diggory that was an impressive catch"

"Why thank you Miss Black, I appreciate your kindness"

"You should do-"

"But what I appreciate more is the fact you've got Hufflepuff colours on" he grinned as I looked at him with a smirk, his quidditch robes still damp with snow as I spun around, his quidditch jumper tucked into my jeans and the black and yellow gloves only keeping my hands slightly warm as I linked arms with him as we walked through the halls and down towards the kitchens with a laugh

"Well we shall be parting soon my dear Cedric, for you have your own friends to celebrate with"

"I do have friends to celebrate with but I'd rather be with you-"

"I shall not accept it, go and be happy with your house Ced"

"But-"

"No buts-"

"What if-?"

"Cedric"

"Yes?"he asked as I turned to him with a smile, resting my head against his arm as I raised my hand to his face

"What're you-?"

"I'm wearing the hand cream you got me. You can smell it"

"You have gloves on Lia. I don't know who you think I am but I'm not one to be smelling gloves-"

"No but you are one for wearing either just enough of or far too much deodorant" I pointed out as we both started laughing and he nudged me gently as I poked his side

"Quidditch matches are an exception"

"I'm suffocating in the smell of it Cedric-"

"Don't lie to me, Amelia. You like this deodorant I'm wearing as well as the cologne I have"

"No! You don't need cologne! I don't like the thought of you having to wear cologne-"

"I like it because it smells nice-"

"But I don't want some lass floating after you because you're wearing cologne" I mumbled as I wrapped an arm around him and we walked down the stairs that would take us our separate ways while he let out a laugh

"'Some lass' wow Lia, you really do have a way with words. And calm down, I won't be dating anyone unless you like them. You don't like them they're getting booted"

"They are?"

"Of course"

"Well I'll say the same then-"

"You don't need to. Because you won't be dating anybody"

"Oh bloody hell" I mumbled as he continued laughing and we stopped as I turned to him

"Well I must bid you farewell Diggsters, for we must part"

"Unless you want to go somewhere else?"

"No. Go celebrate with your house"

"Do you mind?"

"Of course not"

"Are you sure?"

"Cedric-"

"Sorry, Sorry-"

"I'll see you tomorrow Ced" I told him smiling as I stepped back and waved him off amused before going back to my own common room as I disappeared down to my dorm, shutting the door just as Pansy let out a sigh

"Uhm... are you okay?"

"I just saw a picture of chickens without feathers, and I am both severely disturbed and uncomfortable"

"Oh..." I muttered with my eyebrows raised as I shrugged my jacket off and dropped down next to her

"So where are Daphne and Millicent?"

"Don't know"

"Do you know what they're doing?"

"Arguing probably"

"Ah, I should've thought"

"Yeah, you should've" she mumbled as we fell silent and she rested her head against me and I looked at her after awhile

"Would you call us depressing?"

"Most definitely"

"Rude?"

"To each other"

"Nice?"

"When we want to be- Blaise?"

"I'm Amelia. Not Blaise"

"No.... Blaise" she muttered as she pointed to the door and I looked up, finding Blaise standing there with a look of complete confusion on his face

"You alright?"

"I don't know-"

"Spiffing-"

"Splendid-"

"Relatable-"

"You should join us in our circle of depression" I told him as he happily dumped himself down across us as I started laughing

"But you two aren't in a circle. This still isn't a circle"

"Anything is a circle"

"That's like saying pizza is a salad. You're telling me something is something it's not"

"Well I'd rather call pizza a salad than an ice cream"

"....where did that even come from?"

"A very dangerous place called Blaise's brain-"

"Wait, shit.... you have one of those?" Pansy asked Blaise sincerely as I started laughing, listening as he let out a scoff

"No"
