Chapter 46 - Home

"Wake-up, honey." Mei cooed, as she sat on Cedric's bed, with a tray of food.

Cedric who was still sleepy, since he had been working so hard at the ministry, rubbed his eyes and stood up. He took the tray and began eating. Mei patiently waited, since she had ate already.

Mei gently ran her hair through his soft brown hair, "Look at you-"

"Stop." Cedric interrupted her, as he got another spoonful of cereal.

Mei sighed, "Cedric, I've been living here for the past three weeks. You're sleeping less now, and working so much. you must stop." 

Cedric groaned, pushing the tray on his bed stand, "I'm going to take a shower." Removing the blanket, which covered him.

He trudged silently to the washroom with his clothes and towels. Again, Mei sighed. She couldn't see Cedric like this anymore. He was always so sleepy, and she could never spend time with him anymore. All she could do was stay alone in the Diggory house or walk over to the Burrow.

Of course she picked the Burrow, since two of her best-friends were there, Also, it didn't hurt that George was barely there, because the busyness of the joke shop.

She could hear the shower finally turn on, and so she grabbed her coat, "I'm going to the Burrow if you need me. I might also go to Diagon Alley to buy a dress." She heard a slight 'uh-huh' and she turned around to leave.

"Mei, he is a working man now!" Hermione told her, as they sat under the big tree outside of the Weasley's home.

"But it's not goo for his health!" She retorted, "I already lost Draco, I don't want to loose someone else." she mumbled, but Hermione had heard.

She patted Mei's back, "Mei you've lost only one person. How do you think Harry feels? He lost Sirius, Draco, and Dumbledore. At least be happy that Cedric is still around, and your loving friends." Mei nodded timidly, "Besides, we have better things to do."

Mei shot up, "Like what?"

"Remember, Fleur is bringing us to Diagon Alley with Ginny and Mrs. Weasley to buy us dresses." Mei giggled, she had gotten a bunch of galleons.

"Mei! 'ermione! We're going!" Fleur called out. 

The two girls got up and rushed to the burrow, not to wanting to be left behind.

With bags in their hands, they had come back from a successful trip. They had gotten some dresses for Mei, Hermione, Ginny, and even Mrs. Weasley. It was also fun, since Mei had gotten some more books she had wanted and the ones she had gotten for school. To her surprise, Hermione did not.

"Hermione, that was a bad choice not to get your books today." Mrs. Weasley told her, as they set aside the bags in the living room.

She smiled, "Well, I'm still thinking." That's all she said, and Mrs. Weasley looked at her worriedly

.

However, her new focus was on the clock. It didn't tell time, but it told where each Weasley member was at the moment. Ron, Ginny, and Mrs. Weasley's was pointed at home. Bill and Mr. Weasley's were pointed at work. However, George and Fred's was pointed at travelling.

"Fred and George are coming!" Mrs. Weasley yelled.

Mei's eyes widen and she looked over at Hermione who was shocked as well. The two ran up the stairs, but Mrs. Weasley caught Hermione and made her put the bags into Ginny's room. Mei looking for Harry and Ron, looked in everyone room. When she finally got to Ron's room, she was relieved they were there.

"George and Fred are coming!"

"Great!" "Awesome!" the two said, but Mei punched them both.

"Not for me!-"

"HOME!" Two voices were heard from downstairs.
