Liliah Rogers

" So your telling me that your only talking to Cho?" Liliah asked Cedric as they lounged in the courtyard on a bench.
" Yep. I think it's time I focus all my attention on one girl. And Cho's the perfect choice." Cedric nodded.
" Is this it? Are you finally leaving me Ced?" Liliah placed her hand over her heart and sniffed.
" Never. You will always be my number one girl." Cedric kissed the top of her head.
" Thank god." Liliah sighed.

" Can I talk to you?" Harry walked over to them and looked at Cedric.
Cedric smiled at him. He wasn't mad at Harry about the whole "stealing his glory" or what ever. Liliah had told him that Harry didn't put his name in and Cedric believed his best friend. Besides Harry was hard person to hate, to Cedric at least.
" Sure. In private or do you mind if your sister stays?" Cedric asked.
" Li can stay." Harry told him.
" Wow thanks. Talk about me like I'm not even here." Liliah folded her arms across her chest.
" Shush Liliah." The two boys said at the same time.

Liliah's mouth dropped and the boys looked at each other. Harry blushed a tad and Cedric chuckled.
" Just continue." Liliah grumbled.
" Right. Well I know what the first task is. It's dragons." Harry told Cedric.
Cedric's eyes widen and he stuttered for a second.
" Are you serious?" Cedric asked.
" Yes. They have one for all of us." Harry said.
" Do Fleur and Viktor know?" Cedric asked.
Liliah smiled at her best friend. Typical Cedric fashion worrying about his competitors more then himself.
Harry nodded.

" Wow, well thanks for telling me." Cedric told him.
" Well it was only fair. Besides your Liliah's best friend." Harry shrugged.
" Thanks Haz. And I'm here to help. Both of you." Liliah smiled.
" Thanks Li. I'm going to head back now." Harry said.
" Okay I'll see you later." Liliah nodded.
" Sure bye Liliah. Bye Cedric." Harry waved.
" Bye Harry." Cedric smiled.

He walked away and the two best friends looked back at each other.
" Dragons huh. Well that's umm that's exciting." Liliah tried breaking the tension.
" Shut up Lils." Cedric shook his head.

They heard shouting and not just any shouting Harry's shouting. Liliah shot up and rushed towards him.
" I don't give a damn what your father thinks Malfoy. His cruel and vile. And your pathetic." Harry pushed Draco.
" That's the kid from the Quidditch World Cup. I didn't know he went here." Liliah told Cedric who came up behind her.
" Yes you did. He's been here for four years." Cedric slapped his hand against his forehead.
" Hmmm I don't think so." Liliah shook her head as she looked at the blonde.

Draco took out his wand and was about to attack Harry with a spell. Liliah saw and pulled her wand out.
" Expelliarmus!" Liliah shouted disarming Draco.
" No you don't sonny." Moody pointed his wand and turned Draco into a ferret a milli second after Liliah disarmed him.
Moody limped over to the ferret and began bouncing him up and down with his wand. Liliah rushed over to her brother and put her arm around his shoulders.

" Professor Moody what are you doing?" McGonagall asked.
" Teaching." Moody replied.
" Tea-is that a student?" She asked.
" Technically it's a ferret." He replied.
Even though Liliah wasn't a big fan of Moody, he did have a good point.
Moody stuffed the ferret into Crabbe's pants. Everyone started laughing. The ferret crawled out of the pants and McGonagall turned him back into a boy.

Draco looked around.
" My father will hear about this!" Draco yelled.
" Is that a threat? Is that a threat?" Moody started chasing Draco around the tree.
Draco and his friends ran off.
" I could tell you stories about your father!" Moody shouted at him.
" Well that was amusing." Liliah smiled.
" That was the best moment of my life." Harry laughed.
" Hey why didn't you tell me that that kid that was being a dick at the World Cup went here?" Liliah asked.

Harry's smiled grew.
" I take it back. That. That was the best moment of my life." Harry pointed at her.
Liliah just smiled.
" Liliah! Liliah! You have a howler from your dad!" Hermione ran towards them outside.
" Really?! Oh my god okay!" Liliah said before running off.

She ran into the Great Hall and saw Led Zeppelin with a howler. Liliah rushed to the owl. She took the howler and ran to the bathroom without giving Led a treat. As soon as Liliah closed the door to the bathroom the letter formed a mouth.

" Liliah, hi. It's dad. Im fine I made it back from my lead on Bucky. It unfortunately lead nowhere. However we did find out Bucky escaped from Hydra. They don't have him anymore, no one knows where he is. The reason I'm sending a howler instead of a letter is because you are my daughter and would only find peace of mind if you heard my voice. I'm back in Brooklyn and impatiently waiting for you to come home for break. I love you Li."

Then the letter burst into ash. Liliah let out a sigh of relief. But even though her dad was right about hearing his voice she was still worried. Bucky is free. He can do whatever he wants and that didn't really help destress Liliah.

" Try this." Fred handed Liliah a round candy.
Liliah was sitting in the twins and Lee's dorm.
" What is it?" Liliah asked.
" A product for Weasley Wizarding Wheezes." Fred told her.
Liliah took the candy and almost put it in her mouth before retracting it.
" It's not poison is it?" Liliah asked.
" What no. Just eat it." Fred shook his head.
Liliah placed it in her mouth and started chewing.

" Is something suppose to happen?" Liliah asked still chewing.
" Something did happen." George smiled.
Lee looked at her face and started laughing.
Liliah furrowed her eyebrows and stood up. She walked into their bathroom and looked in the mirror. The boys looked at each other.
" Fred Weasley I'm going to kill you!" Liliah shouted.
She spit out the candy and stomped back into the dorm.

Her face was covered in pimples. Liliah was fuming.
" You still look beautiful sunflower." Fred told her.
Liliah ran and tackled him on the bed.
" Give me the antidote now!" Liliah pinned his hands above his head.
" I'm so sorry I know this is serious but this is putting so many thoughts into my head. And not holy ones." Fred told her staring deep into her green eyes.
Liliah pushed her thumbs into pressure points on his wrist. A wave of pain washed through Fred and he winced.

" What kinda thoughts do you have now?" Liliah released her thumbs.
" The antidote is the pink candy." Fred said.
" Now was that so hard?" Liliah pressed a kiss to his temple.
She got off of him and found the pink candy. She put it in her mouth and chewed it. Liliah walked back into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Her face started clearing up and soon her skin was back to normal. She spit out that candy and walked back into the dorm.

Fred was still laying in the exact spot she left him.
" His frozen. You sent him into overdrive." George told her.
" Well good luck with that. I have to go. I have to patrol tonight. Bye." Liliah headed for the door.

Both Lee and George waved. Fred laid completely still and didn't acknowledge her leaving. The moment played on a loop in his head. He had it bad.
