⬩WATER⬩

I sat on the edge of the Black lake in winter coat and pants. I was coloring in my book as I charmed myself to be safe from the cold. I searched for a new color as I heard the snow crunching behind me

"Aren't you cold out here?" asked Cedric sitting next to me as he shivered.

"No I put a warming charm around me plus I have my fire ability and look above us," I pointed up at a branch that is slowly being burned as the ashes were being whisked by the wind. I pointed my wand at him and did a warming charm to stop him from shivering. 

"That's really good," he pointed at the color book 

"Thanks," I smiled,"I like to color when I can't paint. Helps me clear my mind and calm down,"  

He nodded leaning back into the snow,"You are very talented in charms," 

"Thanks," I smiled at him 

"Can I see your other work?" he asked

I nodded and handed him the book. He flipped through the pages and smiled at them,"These are really good. I would not be able not to color over the lines," 

"It's quite simple," I chuckled

"The shading in this one is amazing," he gawked over a coloring page with a dragon over an egg.

"That one took me a while to complete," 

"I've seen your paintings from when you post it on Instagram stories. They are amazing. You should really think about selling them or do something in the future with them. You'd make tons of money," he smiled at me 

I flushed,"I like to paint for myself and friends. I mean when I was at the orphanage and there were garage sales or yard sale,"he looked confused,"Basically when people have to much junk they sell some of there stuff," he nodded,"I would sell some paintings to make some money. I wouldn't sell them for a lot but just some," I said sheepishly

"You could own a paint store. Give lessons on painting. Sell your paintings," 

"I will think about it," I shrugged 

He smiled at me,"Good. Your to brilliant to go into the Ministry unless you become minister," he winked at me as I chuckled 

"What about you? I mean your in your fifth year. O.W.Ls are soon. What do you want to do?" I asked him

"I think I want to become either a quidditch professional, work at an animal reserve, or a healer," 

"Those are wide options you have," I smiled at him  

"Yeah. I want to make my father proud of me. He is always on me about me being his only child and needs to continue the pure-blood Diggory name," He sighed 

I moved closer to him and rubbed his back. I feel his pain of wanting to make parents proud. I have tried since I was little to make everyone older then me like me. I was always kind to everyone that showed it to me. I have noticed with Draco being the only child he always wants to do the best in the house with just his family. My uncle Lucius thinks of my brothers and I as not sons and daughter but neices and neiphews but holds us to a standard my father would approve of. Narcissa sees us as her children and treats us like so. 

"I believe in you Cedric. I know you will excel in whatever career you choose," I looked up at him

"Thanks Y/n," he smiled at me,"I am glad I have you to talk to," he wrapped his arm around my shoulder scrunching my hair a little 

He gave me back my coloring book and nudge me to color it,"When you finish that page I want it," he pointed to a nibler with gold around it. 

"Will do," I smiled at him

He smiled and stayed with me for a while. He watched me color and handed me colors. Eventually we headed inside. 

"Do you wanna hangout still?" he asked me

"Sure. I'd love to," I smiled

"I got somewhere to show you," he held out his hand

I looked at his hand hesitantly freezing

"Don't worry you'll like it. I am not going to hurt one of my favorite people," he smiled brightly at me and I could hear honesty in his word,"Do you trust me?" 

I nodded taking his hand. He pulled me into a fast walking pace. I followed him to the fourth floor. He looked around as we walked to a painting of a man sitting on a stool,"Lovely day to read a book now isn't it?" 

"I'd rather take a swim instead," 

The painting swung open. Cedric covered my eyes as we walked inside. I heard the sound of water running and a few people talking. 

He uncover my eyes and I saw a beautiful waterfall with so many flowers, bushes, and plants around. I looked around to see about 3 other people,"Don't tell anyone about this place," he whispered to me,"Each year we show two people who are in their third year. You are the first of your year. We want you help to find the second person," 

He introduced me to some of the others. 

"Hello Riddle," smirked Dutch 

I mentally groaned,"Hello Dutch," I scowled 

"Welcome to the waterfall," he nodded 

I looked around ignoring him,"What do you all do here?" I asked Cedric

"We mostly use this place to relax and clear our mind. Sometimes we swim in the pond," he explained,"Some of these idiots use it as a date place," he looked at Dutch

"You said you want me to pick the other student?" I asked him 

"Well kind of. Give us a list of students. We will decide depending on grades, activities they participate in,kindness, bravory, wit, and ambition," spoke Cedric,"They have to be one hell of a student

I smiled nodding. I looked around the room in awe at how beautiful it truly was,"Question.." 

"Yes you're able to paint it,"Cedric chuckled 

I smiled,"Okay," 

Cedric and I headed out of the room. I thanked him for showing me the place. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder smiling at me,"When you feel overwhelmed just go there. I know running water helps you calm down the most," 

"Thanks," I blushed as he kissed my cheek heading to his friends in the Great Hall.
