"Something's wrong"
"I know. She's not talking"
"Do you think she's blanking us?"
"I hope not-"
"Have we done something?"
"I haven't. She won't be mad at me" Pansy said as I looked at her with a grin, chucking a piece of balled up parchment in their direction as the three scrambled to reach for it
"You've lost your voice?"
"You're not blanking us?" Millicent asked surprised as I shook my head amused as I took a sandwich off of one of the platters
"I suppose you're lucky we haven't got classes today"
"Are you going to go to Pomfrey?"
"She won't go to anyone when she's ill because she's stubborn" Cedric called from behind me as I turned around and smiled at him as he dropped his hands onto my shoulders
"Something you have to learn to deal with when becoming friends with Amelia"
"Does that include you as well?" Pansy asked laughing as I turned to her slowly, staring at her as her smile dropped and Blaise sat down next to me
"Sorry. I was joking"
"Ignore Amelia. But yes, you have to deal with me as well. Anyway, if you'll excuse us, I need to steal her for awhile" he told them laughing as I was brought to my feet, a smile forming on my face as I waved to them, Blaise turning around to stare between us
"I just sat down"
"That's why she's leaving" Pansy mumbled as he shot her a look and I tried to hide my laughter, waving to them as I was walked away down the table, walking into someone as I stumbled slightly before looking up
"Sorry Amelia, I need to talk to Zabini" Theodore laughed as I nodded and pointed down the table before we started walking again, in the direction of the Hufflepuff table as Cedric looked at me
"Who was that?" He asked quietly as I shrugged and he glanced over his shoulder before pulling me down into a seat next to him
"Anyway, got her" he said as I looked around, recognising the two opposite me but not the girl beside me as she grinned at me and shook my hand ecstatically
"Well you know Ethan, that's his brother Andrew. And this is-"
"Abbie, I'm Abbie" she grinned as I laughed quietly, grinning back as I looked at Cedric with an amused look as he looked past me
"You're good, she likes you- oh wait no, she's past like. You're lucky Abbie" he told her as she let out a sound of surprise as I looked at her, light brown hair and dark brown eyes as she punched the air, almost hitting herself in the face
"I'm liked"
"Not by us"
"Oh feck off you pair of bloody nitwits" she shot at them as my grin grew and I grabbed Cedric's hand and started shaking it violently as he started laughing
"She loves you even more because you have a Scottish accent" he explained to her as I looked at her with a grin before flicking my middle finger to the other two and they both snorted into their goblets
"Amelia!"
"Cedric I think she's amazing-"
"So do I but Lia, please not in the hall and at my friends" he said to me as I glanced at him and nodded before he pointed to them all as he was stopped
"Wait, How come you aren't talking?" Abbie asked as she appeared in front of me so quickly she almost hit her head on the table as I tried to disguise my laughter
"She's lost her voice-"
"Flu got you?"
"No, my Lia is 99% immune"
"What about the other one percent?"
"That's when she's dumb enough to spend all night outside in the pouring rain climbing trees but we're not going to talk about it- anyway, we're all on the quidditch team. Ethan, is our keeper, Andrew a beater and Abbie is one of our chasers. Tell the Slytherin team that they better watch out during next weeks match" he told me with a smirk as I looked at him and raised my eyebrows before reaching forward and taking a drink from his goblet
"What's that look all about? ....Lia?"
