"You wanna know more, more, more about me I'm the girl who's kicking the coke machine I'm the one honking at you cause I left late again..." [/center] The softly sung words were the only thing breaking the night's silence, wafting through the old Astronomy Tower and echoing all the way up to the highest level. The song was an all time favorite of Aly's, and had been stuck in her head for days. Skipping up the stairs she swung into the top room, immediately moving over to the large windows and throwing them open. "Hey, hey, hey Can't you see I want you by the way I push you away... Mix the words up with the actions Do it all for your reaction.." [/center] Unrolling the thick blanket she carried under her arm, she tossed it carelessly on the ground before dropping to sit on top of it. Rolling onto her stomach, she pulled a small book out of her hoodie's pocket. Pulling a thin chain from around her neck, she slipped the flower shaped key into the little gold lock. The cover opened with a soft click sound, and Aly automatically tugged on the silver ribbon keeping her place. "Wanna know more, more, more about me Gotta know reverse psychology I'm the reason why you can't get to sleep I'm the girl you never get quite just what you see..." [/center] She continued singing, burrowing more comfortable into the thick coverlet. Scanning each page quickly and carefully, she lost herself in her the diary that had once belonged to her birth mother. Page after page of neatly written script, event after event. She'd read this book more times than she could remember, and never did she tire of reading it again. ooc: Skye rocks my sox! XD.. -is uber bored- Pardon the sh*tty-ness..

Wrapped up in his black cargos and white shirt, he almost looked like a businessman. That was the way he liked it, especially with his hair normally spiked. Ever since his sister's birthday and Aly saving his life, he longed to tell her, to thank her. But never found the chance. He hardly knew anything about Lycans, and knew less that the full-moon effected them, so cared nothing about the oncoming new moon in the next few nights.
Stamping up the tower, he pushed the door open tentatively, looking to see if anyone was around. Much to his dismay, there was. But it quickly lightened his heart that it was Aly. All those years of having a little crush and not doing anything about it lead him to think that there wasn't anything but hatred in her heart for him.
Making his way over to the girl, he smiled genuinely down towards her for a minute or two, waiting to see if she'd noticed the door opening. It didn't seem so. "Hello," he called from above and behind. Maybe the night of nights under the stars would change the many others he dispised.

Joshua came home today. I hadn't expected him back until thursday, so it was a happy surprise to see him two days early. It's amazing how quickly I have fallen, every time a see him my stomach does a little dance...
She had to stop reading do to the tears blurring her eyes. It wasn't a particularly eventful entry, but she knew this was when she'd been made. Joshua and Elaine, her birth parents. Smiling, she was oblivious to the door opening, not even hearing foots steps.
"Hello,"
It took that one word to make her realise she was no longer alone. Jumping visibly she rolled over into a sitting position, a startled crystal-blue gaze stared at Cedric. She didn't even notice the hand that had crept up to cover her pit-patting heart. Taking a breath, she said "You just scared ten years off my life."
Rubbing the tear stains from her cheeks, she asked "What are you doing here?"

The man almost let out a laugh at her surprised comment. He bent his knees to form a crossed-legged positiong and sat in front of the girl. "I'm sure you'll still out-live me!" he exclaimed, referring to the night he was in the forest.
"Am I really that unwanted," Cedric asked, mocking a hurtful look across his mug towards the girl as he interwove his fingers to rest in his lap.

He'd be surprised to know he'd likely outlive many of his friends. she thought sadly.
"No- you're not unwanted. I was just curious as to why you're up here this late at night. Normal people are usually in bed by now." she answered, a faint grin showing through.

None of them realised he hadn't slept since he arrived to take Makira away from her school she so loved. Cedric was almost surprised none of them noticed that he had bags under his eyes, making them look quite more drained than usual.
"I've been wandering the grounds at night, because I have no place to sleep, and I wasn't expecting to stay this long." The sentence almost admitted his true reason for being at the school, but thankfully it didn't reveal his intentions totally at least.

"Oh." she said simply.
And she finally noticed the bags under his eyes, the tired look on his face. The reason she likely hadn't noticed before was because she was so used to forcing herself into thinking of him as a robot, that she didn't expect him to need sleep like the rest of the human populace. Liftingb her hand she ran a finger over the shadowed areas, and said "You could have booked a placed in Hogsmeade. Or you could have asked me and I'd have found a way to set you up with a port key to diagon alley every night."
"Why didn't you expect to stay this long? And what made you choose to stay longer than what you'd planned in the wizarding world?" she asked, dropping her hand in her lap and averting her gaze.

He could have stayed like that for a long time, with her hands over his face, examining the sagging face of his from minus four days of sleep. But he had to move, he had to seem like he was paying attention. In truth, he was. He shot a questioning look at Alyson and asked hastily "What the bloody hell is a port-key?"
After asking his question, he realised she had said more, asked more of him. The man breathed a long sigh, he knew the time would come, and hopefully Aly wouldn't tell his sister about his plans. "I came to take her from the school," he replied slowly, almost chugging along with his sentence.

"A port key is any random object used-" She left off, jaw dropping open in shock.
The rest of his words had came, sinking into her mind quickly. Regaining her composure, she asked one simple word "Why?"
Though her tone was calm, strangely so, her eyes were sparked with anger. Here she thought he'd finally started acting like the big brother she always knew he could be. All his 'I missed you Feral', and wanting to make up for his horrible ways. It was all a loud of horse sh*t. The anger in her gaze was growing steadily by the moment, flushing her cheeks with color.

A faultering gaze did far from lock with Alyson. He knew she'd be angry, but in truth he wasn't faking the loving brother parts. It was true that he missed Makira, and that he hated being so far from her, he just missed out a bit of his intentions. On purpose. "Because I miss her, and..." He couldn't answer fully, because he had lost the other reason.
He had begun to enjoy his time there, even though he had been attacked and turned and not slept for four days. "You think you can find somewhere I can sleep," he asked, still not holding her angry gaze, "I'm going to just drop soon. I can feel it."
The attacks on him, if they hadn't happened, he would have been able to stay up for yet another few nights before asking for a place to stay. But they had drained his energy quite a lot, and the being knocked-out didn't help at all.

He wouldn't look her in the eye. That only served to anger her more and to make her suspicious. She couldn't believe his answer, not completely anyway. Looking away from him, she shut the little book closed and locked it, her movements angry and edgy.
"The leaky cauldron likely has a room you could stay in." she snapped out, not offering any more information. Right now she didn't feel like being helpful. A frustrated sigh escaped her, as soon as she thought she had him pegged he threw in a new twist to the story.
"You can't force her to go..She likes it here, she has friends here, and a boyfriend." she said firmly, dropping her voice to little more than a whisper she added "And she's not likely to leave before she can help with the war."

That part Alyson had mentioned about most likely not going to leave was right. He already knew that, and had gathered it the moment he had seen her, but there was still hope left within him - which had by now died out. The movements of Alyson slightly stabbed Cedric metaphorically, hurting him inside.
So much for the hinting. One thing had brought his gaze up to see eye-to-eye with Alyson. That his little sister already had a boyfriend. But instead of protesting he merely let out an aweful sigh.
So many things had changed for the worst.

"What, you don't like the idea of her having a boy friend?" she asked, referring to his 'aweful sigh' "I haven't met him yet, so I don't know if he's good for her or not. But at least she's lucky to have fallen for some one who likes her back. Not everyone is that lucky."
Shifting on to her side she propped herself up with her elbo, cradling her head in her hand. Pinning him with a rather intense gaze, she studied him carefully. Trying to piece together the pieces of his emotions. Sometimes he seemed so sincere, and yet others he seemed so aloof. It was hard as h*ll to read him clearly, though easier now than it had been just a few days before.
"Why can't you just say everything you feel and think?" she demanded suddenly "That'd make things so much easier and better for us all. You're like a d*mned manual in a language no one understands."

He could have growled, but chose not to. The mood Alyson was in obviously didn't want to be tampered with, or else all hell would let loose. "I'm her brother, I'm supposed to worry about her and other boys. I know what guys are like," he muttered almost under his breath, worry filling his voice.
Out of the blue she began yelling again, but demanding to see what was inside Cedric's cracking shell. To find out what he thought. "You really want to know?!" He yelled back. "You don't want to know, you'd hate me even more than you do now..." This was almost too much. The pain was like the night before.

"Of course you know what guys are like, you are a guy. And you're exactly the kind of guy a brother has to worry about.." she muttered.
"Yes I'm sure I want to know!" she hissed out, shoving up to her knees until she was nose to nose with him "And I don't hate you, I couldn't hate you if I tried. Goddess knows I've tried, and I should hate you with the way you've always treated me. But I can't hate you, so just tell me exactly what you think and exactly what you feel."
Her facial expression was an anxious scowl. Eyes shooting a frosty glare. Taking a breath she waited for him to answer her demands.
