“Canary Cream? Fever Fudge?” cried familiar voices in unison. “How’d you get here so fast? Fly out?”

“Don’t be silly” she said, with a slight blush. “You know I still can’t get the aerodynamics right. I’ll have some of those purple stars though. Plus, whatever the Diggory’s like”

“Pleasure doing business” said George, tipping his hat.

She went back to her seat sucking on a purple star. Glad that her sleeping hadn’t led to anything bad. The thought of missing seeing Cedric would be terrible. People were greeting her left right and centre. People, from the ministry and people from the school.

Hermione along chewing a fake wand. “Why didn’t you get up? We tried for ages to wake you!”

“I don’t know!” replied Louisa

“It was like you had been drugged! But in a daze!” Ginny had joined the party of people

“Really? Oh I don’t know.”

“What were you doing before you went to bed?” asked Leanne the crowd was growing bigger.

“Ummm… Dinner and before that my Defence against the Dark Arts OWL.”

“Studying far too hard I’d say.” said Ron

Hermione nodded “I get those headaches all the time. Comes from looking at the books for too long”.

“just going to class I’d say.” said Ron

Nods of encouragement were flying around but nothing was going to be more encouraging to her than having
Cedric standing next to her holding the cup.
