When we pulled back from our kiss, we were both left staring at each other

Cedric put his hand on my cheek and kiss me again, and I could feel the smile on his lips form so I smiled back

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked after we stopped kissing

"Yes" I said with a kiss again

We stayed in that booth for most of the day, letting our butter beer get cold while we kissed and embraced each other

After a while though we decided it was time to go somewhere new, so we headed to Honeydukes holding hands the whole way there

I picked out my favorite candy, and he did the same and paid for all of it even though I tried to pay for my own

With bags full of candy we headed to the carriages to bring us back to the castle

When we arrived, we took the last carriage of the day set for students who spent till the last minute at Hogsmeade
But we weren't the only two who needed a ride back to the castle

Fred's POV

There sitting in the only carriage left was Cedric and Electra
You can do this you can be civil

I looked at George who gave me a pity stare, but started for the carriage before I could get my feet to move
He made it there before I could, and started conversation with Electra and Cedric, I'm sure he was hoping to let me get on without them paying too much attention

I got myself to move, and it took all my will power to not beat the shit out of Cedric when I arrived and saw his arm around her waist
It seems like she noticed my pained stare and made him move his arm
Thank Merlin

George kept the conversation going, but I stayed in silence
She looks so beautiful, her nose is rosey from the cold and her cheeks are flushed with color too

"Hi Freddie" she said to me
I stared at her, disbelieving that she actually chose to talk to me

"Hi Electra"
Those words pained me to say, knowing all I wanted to do is push myself in between them and claim my spot at her side
Not my spot anymore

That was all the conversation we had, but it was more than we have had for weeks so I will treasure the small bit of it

Electra's POV

I miss talking to Fred desperately, I miss him being my best friend but I know that's something we can't go back to being

But that doesn't mean I can't try to be civil

So I tried starting a conversation on our way back, a simple hi to which he said hi back, but that's where it ended

I couldn't bring myself to add more, not yet.

The carriage arrived back, and I let Fred and George go ahead of us
I stared at them as they walked away, we gave them a few moments ahead of us so we could avoid any awkwardness
I couldn't help the pain in my heart watching him walk away, walk away from me
I did this, I ended things without a conversation about what happened so it's all on me, all the guilt and pain is my fault
Part of me wanted to run after him, that part almost won if Cedric hadn't grabbed my hand and helped me off the carriage







Sunday morning
I woke up early to go for my run, something I have been keeping up with since I got back to Hogwarts
I have gone to Hagrid's every day after but he isn't around, so after my run I take my time as a fox to run through the forest and meet with all the creatures in there

I've increased my distance in running too, 10 miles a day and it takes me a full hour to do it

When I'm running, my mind is filled with nothing but my finish line
But when I'm done, and walking around as Vulpes I find my mind wondering
Fred used to run daily with me
Last year I wasn't able to run alone because of the threat of death eaters

I try not to let these thoughts haunt me too much, I am safe I have to keep reminding myself
I am safe

They never caught Barty Crouch Jr, he's still out there
I am safe

My dad lettered me telling me they are doing all they can to find him, and my mother
If i should even call her that

Another thought that haunts me
Where is she and why is she working with Voldemort
What happened that day

I watched the creatures of the forest move on with their morning, nothing bothered them here and thats why I come here after running now

Students weren't allowed, but only a select few know that I can transform so it's safe for me to be here too


I stayed as a fox while I exited the forest, and ran around the castle looking for any familiar face
Cedric doesn't know I can transform I wonder if I should spook him

I decided that was what I was going to do, so I ran to find him
Being careful to avoid Umbridge, I can't let the ministry know that I'm an unregistered Animagus

I didn't see Cedric, I'm assuming he's on the field again so I went that way but on my way I saw George and Lee without Fred

So I raced up to them
Without Fred, I can finally see George again

I made a squeak sound and when they turned to find the noise, I jumped into George's awaiting arms, with assistance from him getting closer to the ground

  "Hey Vulpes!" He said holding me close to his chest

I rubbed my face against his neck and licked his face

  "Want to hang out with us for a bit? We're going to the quidditch field"

I nodded my head

  "Uh Fred's going to be there is that ok?" Lee asked petting me

  "Angelina isn't going to be there today, she is studying in the library but wanted us there to be there to study Hufflepuff's team for Friday's game" George said

I nodded my head, hoping he understood that it was ok, Cedric doesn't know what I am so there is no harm in sitting near Fred in this form

  "Great! Let's go, want to sit on my shoulder?"

I did as he suggested and they walked to the field to over see the other teams practice
