Celeste dragged me to the Hufflepuff house and took me into a dorm. There was a boy sleeping with his head resting on the desk. "Rolf!" Celeste shouted. No response. 
                          
"Ugh." Celeste picked up 3 large books and slammed them against the desk. Rolf flung up his head and fell back in his chair. His hair was messy and his eyes were blue. Which is strange since Celeste eyes are brown. 
                          
"Sorry." Rolf rubbed his head. "Meet Alora." Celeste spoke as she helped Rolf up. "Why do you guys have different eye colors?" I asked. "Oh, I got my moms eyes and he got dads eyes. Kinda funny." Celeste spoke. "Hello Alora." Rolf shook my hand awkwardly. 
                          
"Um, who is she again?" Rolf whispered to Celeste. "Our cousin. The one father told us about in the letter this morning." Celeste spoke. "What letter?" He asked. "The one you didn't open." Celeste picked up the letter from the desk and handed it to him. 
                          
"She's uncle Theseus long lost daughter." She spoke. "Long lost daughter?" Rolf furrowed his eyebrows as he read the letter. As he read the letter his eyes widen. "Uncle Theseus had a kid with Leta?!" Rolf shouted. "Yeah, then the grindelwald kidnapped her and sent her to live with some muggles." Celeste spoke. 
                          
"Oh, Um nice to meet you." Rolf spoke as he looked up at me. He looked down at my arm and gasped. "Hey look, she has the flame." Rolf said as he gently grabbed my arm and showed Celeste. It was a marking that I've had forever. It wasn't a scar? It was more like a tattoo. It was shaped like a fire. 
                          
"What does the flame mean?" I asked. "The grindelwald. That's what he used to kill... many people." Rolf spoke. "Including Leta." Celeste frowned. "That's strange. Whenever uncle Theseus told us about you we always thought he was delusional after he lost Leta." Rolf sat down. 
                          
"Hes mentioned me before?" I asked. "All the time. He's been wanting to find you for years. He said something about Leta telling him?" Celeste spoke. "I thought Leta was dead?" I furrowed my eyebrows. "She is. But Uncle Theseus says he still talks to her everyday." Rolf shrugged.
                          
"So, how have you been?" Celeste asked. "Uh, pretty good." I spoke as I leaned against a wall. "How. Are you. And... Cedric? I think that's what it says" Rolf read off his letter. "Rolf!" Celeste whacked the back of his head. "You weren't supposed to mention that yet! Read the rest of the letter!" Celeste spoke. 
                          
"Oh Merlin, they told you about Cedric." I rolled my eyes. "Well not exactly, Uncle Theseus just wants to know more about your boyfriend." Celeste said. "He's not my boyfriend." I spoke underneath my breath. 
                          
"He'd said you'd deny it" Rolf spoke. "It's nothing official." I spoke. "Oh so you like him?" Celeste asked. "I feel like I'm being interrogated." I raised my eyebrows. They both looked at each other and looked back at me. "You kind of are." They laughed. 
                          
"Me and Cedric are just friends. Alright?" I spoke. "Wait, Cedric Diggory? The quidditch team captain?" Celeste asked. "Yeah." I replied. "He talks about you. A lot." Rolf mumbled as he flipped through the pages in his book. 
                          
"What do you mean?" I furrowed my eyebrows. "I sit behind him in charms. He talks to Alex about you every class." Rolf spoke. "Really?" I felt my cheeks heat up. "But Cedric said he didn't know you. He only said he knew Celeste." I said. 
                          
"I don't talk much in class. Celeste on the other hand had the biggest mouth that goes on for days." Rolf spoke. Celeste kicked his leg and rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not that loud." Celeste spoke. 
                          
I spent almost the whole day with Celeste and Rolf. They talked to me about quidditch, how the family was, how my father and uncle newt was like, and we all shared many interests. I introduced them to my friends, including Cedric. Celeste seemed to get along with Sarah and Rolf doesn't really like talking to people. He might have a bit of social anxiety. I felt a good connection with them. I can feel a great friendship between us 3. 

                          
Once it came to around dinner time, Celeste and Rolf sat with the Hufflepuffs and I sat with my friends and Cedric at the ravenclaw table. "I'm surprised nobody has said anything about a Hufflepuff and a Slytherin at the ravenclaw table." I said as I sat next to Cedric. "We're here everyday. May as well put us in ravenclaw" Marcel chuckled. "Where's Ebony?" I asked. 
                          
"Our prefect got expelled so Dumbledore let Ebony take her place." Avery said. "So she's moving her stuff out of the dorm right now." Sarah added. "And we're not helping her, why?" I asked. "Because. Too much effort." Avery spoke. "Idiots, come on." I got up. 
                          
We all went up to the ravenclaw common room, sneaking in Marcel and Cedric. We went up to the dorm and saw a stressed out Ebony. "Hey, E. Are you okay?" I asked. "No! I was excited to move and be a prefect but now I'm overthinking it! What if I'm not good enough!" Ebony stressed. 
                          
"Bitch, you'll be fine. All you gotta do is hussle around some kids and you get a whole bathroom to yourself." Sarah spoke. "Yeah that people sneak into to go have sex!" Ebony shouted. "Haha, been there. Done that." Avery chuckled. "Nasty." Marcel spoke. I looked at Marcel and raised my eyebrows at him. 
                          
"Shut it." Marcel whispered causing me to chuckle. "Do you want help moving?" Cedric asked. "I'd need that, yeah." Ebony spoke. 
                          
We put some of her things in boxes and sent Marcel, Ebony, Sarah and Avery to carried them to Ebony's new dormitory. Leaving me and Cedric in the room alone to pack the rest of the stuff up. "Can you pass me her bookbag?" I asked Cedric as he tossed me it. 
                          
"So um, any plans for tomorrow?" Cedric cleared his throat. "Uh, nope. Probably just gonna hang around with some friends." I spoke. "Oh, that's good." Cedric spoke. There was an awkward silence for a moment until Cedric started to move a bit closer to me. I placed the last box by the door and cleaned up Ebony's bed as Cedric was following me and watching. 
                          
As I threw the sheet over the bed, I felt a big warm hand rest of my waist. He placed his other hand around me and turned me around to face him. Now both of his hands were on my waist as I was looking up at him. He towers over me as I was only 5'5 and he was 6'2. One of his hands left my waist and crawled up to my face. 
                          
He held my face in palm of his hand as his thumb brushed against my lips. He pulled my face closer to his and he leaned forward, making that if I were to move a bit, our noses would be touching. The moment felt heated as thoughts ran through my head. 


                          
Is this it? 

                          
Am I going to have my first kiss? 

                          
With Cedric? 

                          
Is he gonna kiss me? 

                          
Then Ebony came in to grab the last box causing Cedric to jump and walked away from me. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude." Ebony spoke as she grabbed the box and walked away. "AND USE PROTECTION!" She shouted walking away. 
                          
Cedric was blushing and my cheeks felt so heated to cause me to smile. Then Cho chang walked past our dorm looking right at Cedric. I assumed she heard what Ebony shouted. She sighed a bit as she walked to her dorm. "I'll see you tomorrow." Cedric spoke as he didn't make eye contact with me. 
                          
"Okay." I mumbled. I felt bold. Like wanting to do something. But something that wouldn't be too much. Cedric started to walk out of the dorm but I caught him before he could leave. I tiptoed up a bit and gave him a peck on the cheek. 
                          
I stood flat footed again and saw Cedric was now red as a tomato as his smile grew bigger. "Bye Alora." He said under his breath and smiled. He turned around and walked out of the dorm as I heard a small whisper. "YES!" Cedric whispered in joy. 
                          
I chuckled as I turned off the room lights and went to bed.... 
                          
What a day...
