'Theory and unbelievably'
---
Cedric jumped slightly when Amora jumped onto his back as they headed down to breakfast with Herbert and Gabrielle. He chuckled, hitching her up wrapping her thighs around his waist, her head resting on his shoulder.
The Weasleys, Cedric, Amora, Harry and Hermione were the only students that knew about the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore told them to keep quiet and act normal around other students about the topic.
Amora hung onto Cedric like a koala, unlatching herself as they reached the last staircase.
"You guys are adorable," Gabrielle mused.
Amora blushed, Cedric wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her lips to his for a quick kiss before separating from Gabrielle, heading to their house tables.
Cedric sat down beside his girlfriend, tucking into slightly buttered toast.
"Enjoy that cereal babe?" Amora laughed, seeing Cedric spoon feeding himself cereal.
"I need my energy love."
"Hmm," Amora hummed.
"We've got the Professor Umbridge today, we've got to make a good first impression," Cedric smirked, tapping the tip of Amora's nose.
"I'm gonna throw my breakfast back up after witnessing that," Herbert scowled, making Amora roll her eyes.
"You'll be doing that with Gabrielle when we aren't watching," Cedric pointed out, making him blush slightly and turning his head around.

Amora, Cedric, Gabrielle and Herbert took up two benches up in the middle section of the room.
"Good morning, children," Umbridge addressed, "Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test, more commonly know as N.E.W.Ts. Study hard and you will be rewarded, fail to do so and the consequences may be served."
She flicked her wand, the book near by floating from her desk, automatically drifting themselves onto the students desks, "your previous instruction in this subject has been disturbingly uneven, but you'll be pleased at know, from now on you will be following a carefully structured, and Ministry approved course of defensive magic."
Herbert turned to Cedric, giving each other a look when Umbridge turned her back, "what did the pink princess say?"
"It is the view of the ministry that a Theoretical knowledge will be sufficient to get you through your examinations, which after all, is what school is all about."
Amora normally liked a challenge, but didn't say anything to keep a low profile, so she held her tongue trying to be 'disrespectful' and trying to make a good first impression as the 'new girl,.

"I hate her!"
"Tell me about it," Gabrielle groaned, "if I fail my N.E.W.Ts because of a pink tablecloth I'm gonna throw a fit!"
"The ministry has gone mad," Cedric said, "they don't believe me or Harry, we saw him!"
"And WE believe you Cedric!" Amora exclaimed, holding his chin in between her fingers.
"Do you?" Amora look around, seeing their faces blank with no expression.
"I don't know, the Ministry said he isn't back," Herbert whispered, looking up to meet Cedric eyes.
"You don't believe me, do you?"
The newly couple stood their, silent, Amora eye wondering to Cedric, he's eyes where blank as he shock his head walking away from the three of them.
"Cedric!" Amora yelled, walking after him, "Cedric!"
Eventually gripping his wrist as he when to turn the corner of the Library door, Amora hand dont her way to his cheeks slowly cupping them, and creasing them.
"Hey, hey, I'm here, I believe you," Amora whispered, "there being fed lies Ced, they're just scared."
"Their lies," he mumbled, his eyes glossing over with tears.
"I know, but the truth will come out soon," Amora reassured, holding his face in her hands.
Cedric just pulled her into a bear hug, letting their body swing with their movements. Them both whisper sweet nothing in each other's ears.
"They'll believe you, give them time."
