Choices // Cedric Diggory✖️OC

Year one: 4

We both sat down and ate some toast with jam, we both kept glancing at Madeline who wasn't eating anything, I couldn't care less as i continued chatting with aurora, but a few minutes later we were interrupted,

"Miss Malfoy, miss Laine, your schedules" professor snape said handing each of a us a piece of parchment which had our schedules, professor snape is an old friend of father, I've meet him a few times as he is also Draco's godfather,

"Good morning 'professor' how are you, it's been quite some time since your last visit" i said with a polite smile with a bit of arrogance, but don't be surprised i never smile kindly even to my own family, it always has arrogance in it,

"Yes I've been quite busy" he said in his usual monotonous voice, that I've grown used to, "I'll see you in class Elara, I expect good grades" he then handed Madeline her schedule and continued to give out the students's schedules, i had herbology then charms both with the ravenclaws, then i had history of magic and transfiguration with the hufflepuffs, it wasn't so bad and as i showed aurora my schedule and vise versa we both had all our classes together luckily, so we both picked our expensive bags and headed to herbology,

We reached greenhouse 1 and we saw some ravenclaws and slytherins already there, we both went and stood at the middle of the table but still closer to the front, and after a few moments all the students come in and a quite plum middle-aged women introduced herself as professor sprout, the class consisted of her telling us what we will be doing throughout the school year and that our next lesson will be about the devil's snare and half through the class I noticed that Madeline was in this class to but she was standing at the very end of the table barely paying attention to the the professor, i ignored her and focused on the professor again until the class ended, i saw Madeline rush out of the class and from what I'm seeing she is also heading to charms,

And on our way we saw a bunch of third year griffindors tailing her and making fun of her, I ignored them but then they said something that made my blood boil,

"Yeah run off you slimy snake, but where would you run off to huh? Even your parents probably hate you and want to disown you, and I don't blame them, I wouldn't want a filthy snake as a family" the black haired boy which i can clearly see was their leader said, and I couldn't just stand there with Madeline who's face was so wet from crying and do nothing, and one look at aurora said that she has my back, so we both stalked over to them, i taped the boy on his shoulder who wasn't very tall luckily, and and before he could fully turn around the palm of my hands left a red handprint on his cheek, he stumbled a bit and looked at me in shock,

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He shouted at me which brought the attention of some students who were passing by, and unbeknownst to me a certain hufflepuff was standing behind us at a small distance, his lips agape and his eyes watching in awe,

"Slapping you of course, want me to do it again so it's clear!" I said to the griffindor boy who had his hand covering his red cheek, my voice was full of confidence and authority, looking strait into his eyes as I said so, his three friends that were standing behind him look at me in shock like their leader, the boy shook his head severely in denial,

"You would seriously get so low, four third years against one first year, why don't you try that again and see what happens?" aurora said with disgust on both her face and tone, they all shock their heads violently, ugh such cowards,

"Good then you stay away from her and mind you own bloody business, got that?" They all quickly nodded their heads and scurried away,

I turned to Madeline and asked her, "your heading to charms?" She nodded wiping her face, i looked at aurora and she smirked and linked her arms with a startled Madeline, "let's go then!" Aurora said to Madeline, i linked my arms to Madeline's other side and i could swear i saw her smile at the corner of my eyes, and as we walked we left behind a smiling Cedric who saw everything,
