And so, it started. I went as a mouse, a snake and any animal that would fit to get to Cedric. Once or twice I would transfigure so that he could put me in his pocket and take me to the common room himself. I then transfigured there. It seemed I was spending more time as a Hufflepuff than in Gryffindor. It didn’t matter though. My powers were now so strong that I was able to transfigure into anything. I was getting ready to take my transfiguration OWL and NEWT soon. In January I ended up becoming part of the “Association of Transfiguration” along with Nymphadora Tonks and Professor McGonagall. My uncle was very proud of me and yet Cedric and I saw it as a “Transfigure and get to see Cedric clause” It was amazing. We were also using the shrieking shack. For several reasons really. One because we were scared that people were getting suspicious and that we needed to get out of the way. Two because I was using is as a hide away with Sirius Black anyway and Three because most people were too scared to go up there. I showed Cedric the tunnel to get there and I would go through Hogsmeade as an animal of some kind. Usually a puppy, simply because that’s what I was like with Sirius, a black puppy.

It was SO much fun. Professor Lupin saw us for what we were. I reckon we had bad influences on each other but just before end of term we were called into Professor Snape’s office. We were terrified. This was it. We were caught. Found out. In a way we were. He had found out that I had been going to the shack and about Sirius and he was worried about my OWLs next year. He wanted us to “take a break until it was all over”. Until we had finished school, because that was more important. Of course, I understood that it was. But I was devastated. Over the summer I went to his house and to Leanne’s and the Weasley’s. It ended up being a really important year together because it was our last summer together.

His father managed to get me tickets to the Quidditch World Cup and I went with him. We had the most magical time. There were tents set up everywhere and we had brilliant seats, not ministry seats, but we saw the seeker catch the snitch so that has to be great. We also got dressed up. I created a banner for us to hold which ended up being quite big and we had a great party. It did all get ruined by Death Eaters but I don’t get hassled by them so I didn’t really worry too much. They hurt me as much as stinging jinxes.
