𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧. She would give Cedric a hint, nothing more than that. She, of course, hadn't told her sister about her plan to do this, and honestly, she didn't even know why she was. It wasn't like she owed him anything. Is she should be giving anyone a hint it should be Harry, but no, she felt compelled to help Cedric. Maybe she should tell Harry too? She hadn't decided, as of right now she was set on at least telling the Hufflepuff boy whose attention she had began to yearn for.

Estelle was wandering the corridors of the castle, no real goal set in mind. Of course, she would like to see Cedric, but that wasn't the point of her wanderings. Her feet had seemingly carried her to the library, her mind not aware of the decision. She stepped foot into the warm room and breathed in deeply, inhaling the smell of old books, one of her favorites. 

She was now walking through the columns of books, her fingers trailing along the spines, searching for something to read. She had walked through rows and rows of books before finally finding a title that interested her. Just as Estelle was about to grab the spine of the book a pair of hand fell on her waist and picked her up into the air, spinning her around slightly. Estelle yelped in surprise before she was placed back on the ground. She spun around and was about to pull out her wand to hex the person, but her eyes were met with the grinning face of Cedric and she immediately smiles, lowering her hand away from her skirt. 

Estelle then moved forward and once again wrapped her arms around the boy, snuggling into his chest slightly.

"Hey," he whispered, making Estelle's heart do backflips.

"Hey," she whispered back into his chest, a grin growing on her face.

The two teens then came untangled from one another.

"Fancy seeing you here," Estelle joked.

Cedric laughs, "It's my school."

This makes Estelle snort and roll her eyes.

"Whatever you say Ced, now if you would kindly move out of the was, there was a book I wanted to read."

Cedric chuckles and steps out of the way, allowing Estelle to once more reach for the book. What she hadn't realized before was that the book was just out of her reach, even on her tiptoes.

"Um," Estelle pauses, "Do you think you could help me Ced?"

"Yeah, no problem," he laughs.

Instead of just grabbing the book for her like Estelle expected him to, he once again placed his hands on her waist. He then lifted her slightly, giving her just enough height to grab the book before placing her gently back on the ground.

"Would you fancy reading with me? I mean you obviously don't have to if you don't want to but-" Cedric starts to ramble before Estelle cuts him off.

"Id love to."

The two then make their way to a smallish green velvet loveseat tucked away in a corner, near a fireplace. Estelle smiles at her surroundings before sitting down on the couch, taking her place next to Cedric. 

Estelle sighs in content as she lays her head on Cedric's shoulder and opens her book, beginning to read. Cedric does the same, and the two sit in comfortable silence. Sawyer wasn't really aware of it happening, but after a couple of soft yawns, she had fallen asleep on the brunette boy's shoulder. Cedric looked down at Estelle and chuckled softly, shaking his head. He then put a marker in his book, placing it on the arm of the chair. He then took Estelle's head in his hands and softly placed it in his lap, assuming it would be a bit more comfortable for the slumbering blonde.  He then grabbed his book and resumed reading, placing a chaste kiss on Estelle's forehead.

Estelle eventually woke up, quite slowly though. She rubbed her eyes with her hands before sitting up, glancing at Cedric, and then opening her eyes widely.

"Fuck, did I fall asleep?" she cursed in French, Cedric just making a confused face in response.

"Well you were sleepy, huh?" he jokes.

"I guess so," Estelle answers, stifling a yawn.

"Stell, Id love to stay, but I need to go work on my egg," Cedric says, his tone sad and apologetic.

"Oh!" Estelle exclaims, suddenly jolting upright.

"What is it?" Cedric asks, furrowing his eyebrows.

"The egg, I have a hint for you."

"Go on."

"Just... water," Estelle says, not quite sure what to say as to not give it away fully.

"Take your egg with you next time you take a bath, " Estelle elaborates before standing up and waving to the boy.

"Estelle wait, can you elaborate?" he asks.

"No," she sighs, "Just, do as I say, yeah?"

Cedric nods in bewilderment as Estelle walks away, unconsciously watching her hips as they sway slightly.
