Time Turners, and Dinner

                                    

                                          

    I woke up exhausted. The events of the night before had taken their toll. I got up, and put on my clothes. I walked down to the great hall, and heard Harry talking with Hermione. 
    "You gave it back to McGonagall?" 
    "Yes. I believe it's to powerful a relic for a witch my age. Not to mention illegal." Hermione answered, calmly.
    "What if we need it again?" Harry asked. 
    "To do what? Break another person out of jail illegally?" 
    "It couldn't hurt to be prepared!" Harry retorted. 
    "But we can't micro manage the world to our specifications, Harry. There is a reason use of time turners are restricted." Hermione explained. "Besides, if we were caught, we'd go straight to Azkaban no questions asked." 
    Harry sighed heavily. "At least we saved Siri-MMMF!" Hermione covered his mouth. 
    "Do you want to go to Azkaban, Harry? Someone could hear you!" 
    I quietly left, and hurried to the library. I grabbed a book on magical artifacts, flipped to the appendix, and looked for the word: time turner. Then, I flipped to page 788, and began to read. 
    About a hour later, I put the book away, forgetting all about the time turner's because I read too far, and began researching rememberalls, and how to use them. 
    I stretched my legs, and hurried down to breakfast, realizing that I was 15 minutes late, 
    I sat down alone again, but I felt a nudge on my arm. 
    "Mind if I sit with you, kiddo?" I looked up to see Cedric, smiling at me. 
    I scooted over to make room for him. "Go ahead." 
    He sat down with me, arming me some dirty looks from multiple girls, and a few boys too. 
    I looked up at Cedric. "What's their problem?" 
    He chuckled. "I think they think we're in a relationship..." 
    I noticed Cho at the Ravenclaw table, shooting me horrible glares and faces. I laughed. "That's icky. I mean, you're attractive, but that would be like dating a big brother." 
    Cedric nodded. "Yeah... it would be icky. I'm too old for you right now anyway." 
    I nodded, and we both shuddered at the thought of dating the other. 
    Cedric began eating again. "So, I hear that you're going to become a prefect next year?" 
    He nodded. "I think so... it's not set in stone yet, but if things go the way they seem to be going, then the answer is yes." 
    "I see..." I thought for a second. "So, does that mean if you catch me out late at night you'll look the other way?" I winked.
    Cedric laughed. "No, I'm not going to play favorites. Also, don't you wander the halls with Professor Snape anyway?" 
    I nodded. "Yeah. He has a patrol schedule, and when I can't sleep I go into his office to hand out with him. It calms me down. But he doesn't like me sitting alone with dangerous chemicals in his office, but most importantly, he doesn't like the idea of me being around ungraded tests." I laughed a little at my joke.
    Cedric laughed too. "Yeah... I can see how that would be a problem." 
    I finished my roll. "So, I was thinking..." 
    Cedric pretended to look shocked. "You? Thinking?" 
    I laughed hard at that. "Good one. But anyway, I was thinking, the end of the school year's coming soon, and we're all going our separate ways for the summer. Could I have your address so I can write you?" 
    Cedric nodded. "Sure. That sounds like a good idea."
