HP: Harry Had Enough

As they arrived at the door to the Ravenclaw dorm, Cedric kissed her gently and said "Go get cleaned up and get some rest. Sit with me at dinner?"

She smiled and gave him a quick kiss in response. As she went though the door, she yelled back "It's a date as long as you don't take me back to the lake."

Cedric laughed as the door closed and he took off to find Harry. As he walked through the castle, he got looks from several people who acted like they wanted to say something but a look from him discouraged the idea. When no one was looking, he disappeared down a forgotten corridor and stepped quickly to the door of their room. As he opened the door, he found Megan lying on the couch crying. He went over and sat beside her. Without even looking up she wrapped her arms around him and continued to cry. After a half hour, she finally settled and he asked "What's got you so worked up other than the obvious?"

She sniffed "He…He's pretty bad Ced."

He looked around the room and asked "Where is he?"

With a sniff, she answered "Dobby took him. He said Harry instructed him that if Harry was incapacitated, that he was to get him and Harry away and to safety. I begged Dobby to let him stay here and that I would look after him but he refused. I think Dobby only waited long enough to make sure Harry was stable and to tell one of us."

He patted her arm and said "Don't worry Meg, Dobby is a good elf and is completely devoted to Harry. If he can't help him, I'm sure he will find someone who will. Sometimes I think he's worse that Madam Pomfrey when it comes to Harry. She kept crying and saying something about James' baby. I think Harry not letting her help broke her heart."

"Yeah, Granger and Longbottom both told her he didn't trust anyone in the castle and he didn't want their help any more. Not much compassion there, Huh?"

Cedric smiled "Well they know about me and Harry now. You're still safe for the moment but I'm sure they'll figure it out eventually. When it happens, expect the masses to start asking you to tell him they're sorry."

She sighed "I don't care anymore. I just want Harry here and to finally be safe. So what do we do now?"

Cedric sighed "I don't really know as far as Harry is concerned. I'll just try to push them off as long as I can. I don't think they need to know he's not in the castle. It would mess up his plans."

"Agreed so deny, deny, deny."

"Yep and we need to go get cleaned up for dinner. There's going to be a bit of excitement there tonight."

"What's going on?"

Cedric growled out "Krum turned back and bit Harry in his shark form. That's where the big place on his side came from. I intend to make him admit it in front of the whole castle at dinner and then explain why."

She pulled him up from the couch and started leading him back to the Hufflepuff dorms. As they walked, she said "I hope Harry is okay."

He gave her a small smile. "Dobby will keep us informed. You are Mistress Megs you know."

She punched his shoulder and said "You prat. Will you let it drop?"

He smirked "Did you let it drop when you found out I liked Cho?"

"Crap!"

"Yep"

They walked back to the Hufflepuff dorms in silence. Neither was happy with the current situation but unlike Harry, they at least had each other for support. As Megan thought about this, she had to fight back tears once again. When Harry returned, she had made up her mind that since he wouldn't ask her until this was over, that she would ask him. One way or another, the boy she had grown close to would be hers.

****

Cedric and Megan arrived early to the Great Hall and took their seats at the Hufflepuff table and it wasn't long before Cho joined them. During the conversation, Cho said "As much time as he spends with you, I'm beginning to wonder if I should feel jealous."

Cedric chuckled and said "Oh, you don't have to worry about that. We know each other too well for that to ever work. Besides, I think her heart belongs to another."

Cho quickly figured out what that meant and said "I'm happy for you. He's a good guy and will treat you right."

Megan blushed but smiled at the comment. Cho added "Please be good to him. He deserves some happiness."

All Megan could do was nod before Fleur came over with her little sister and asked "May we join you?"

Cedric gave her his most political smile and said "Certainly though I'm not sure we would meet up with your standards."

Fleur sat down and looked down at the table. "I know I deserve that for how I treated your friend. I would like to apologize to him face to face but I think that will be difficult now. Would you pass it along please and also give him my thanks for what he did for me and my sister during the task. He saved my life and completed my task for me. I am thankful for my life but even more so for what he did for Gabrielle."

Cedric said "I will pass it along when I see him again." He received a kick under the table from Megan for the last part.

Fleur latched on to that comment and asked "You don't know where he is?"

Cedric truthfully said "No, he has hidden from everyone. It may be some time before he shows back up."

She nodded and looked to be in deep thought for a minute. She finally straightened her shoulders. "There is another matter I wish to speak with him about. I…What he did today makes me indebted to him."

Megan asked "Do you mean a life debt?"
