Chapter 58

After a busy Saturday night where Elle and Cedric stayed up late into the morning watching muggle movies, they groggily fell asleep in his dorm laid in his bed together, as friends of course, before waking up Sunday around noon.

"God, we slept in late, hm?" Cedric hummed, sitting up in his bed to stretch as he peered at the blonde girl next to him.

"Hmmm." She sleepily mumbled out.

"Come on Elle, it's noon, and I'm starving. Let's get lunch." Cedric tried to persuade her out of bed as she just used her hand to wave him off.

"I'm fine here."

"Ellie," Cedric giggled, "Come on." He walked over to her side of the bed, using his hands to grab her sides and lifting her out of bed as she let out a squeal before she was placed back on her feet, sending Cedric an unimpressed look.

"Was that necessary?" She asked, crossing her arms.

"Very, ready to go?"

"I have to go back to my dorm to change." Elle sighed, slipping her shoes back on.

"Here, just wear a sweater of mine." Cedric said, walking to his closet and tossing her a hoodie to wear, which happened to have his last name across the back. Elles face turned a tad pink as she slipped it on, walking over to his mirror to comb her hair before deciding her look was fine. Cedric stood to the side, admiring his friend in the mirror, desperately wishing they were more than that.

The two made their way to the great hall, seeing that Luke, Liv, Dylan, and Ian all sat together at the Gryffindor table, deciding to sit with them. Cedric and Elle joined the group, Jackson following behind them.

"Where were you this morning?" Jackson asked the two.

"Sleeping." Elle told him, pouring herself some coffee she so desperately needed.

"We stayed up half the night watching movies." Cedric told the group.

"I can see that... nice sweater Elle." Dylan smirked, leaning back in his seat to the name sprawled out on the back.

"Be quiet." Elle hissed, gulping down her coffee.

"Someone's cranky." Ian laughed.

"She's not a morning person." Cedric laughed.

"It's noon!" Olivia pointed out as the group laughed.

"Morning for me." Elle shrugged before she heard what used to be one of her favorite sounds booming through the great hall, Freds laugh.

Her eyes almost immediately, out of habit, trailed down the table to see Fred laughing loudly with Angelina, George, and Lee.

She couldn't help but stare at Fred's face, as he turned to look at Angelina, seeing him mouth the word 'baby', causing her to quickly look away. It seems that Elle wasn't the only one who caught what Fred said as Luke rested a comforting hand on her back from next to her.

"Oh my gosh, did he call her baby?" Elle whispered to Luke next to her.

"Maybe..." Luke whispered back.

"I'm not okay." Elle told him, the full realization that Fred was moving on now hitting her... and breaking her heart.

"Play it cool... don't let him know you are upset." Luke whispered back as she rested her hand on her palm.

"Yeah..." Elle sighed, trying to seem interested in the conversation her friends were having but just wanting to crawl into bed and cry instead. This is going to be a rough week Elle couldn't help but think.
