"Uh.. no, thank you.." I say softly, trying to politely turn Cedric down.

We're currently in the corridors of Hogwarts, with breakfast having ended not too long ago.

Cedric insisted that he walk me to my first class of the day, which is Transfiguration, his grip on my arm tighter than I'd like it to be, but no matter what I tell him, he won't let go and leave me alone.

"Are you sure, Y/n? I think it'd be better to have someone walk you.. after all, Hogwarts can be dangerous.." He says, trying to convince me, his voice sounding firm, as if he's not taking no for an answer.

"Cedric, let go of me." I tell him, keeping my voice quiet so as to not cause a scene in front of the other students in the corridors. I try to pull my hand away from his grip, but he tightens his grip on my arm more, his grip tight enough to leave bruises.

Cedric's eyes darken at my refusal. His possessiveness being on full display in front of me.

In the back of the moving sea of students stands Fred and George, who watch the interaction with dark gazes.

Marci then flies in and cuts Cedric's arm with one of his claws, making Cedric pull away from me and clutch his cut arm.

Pulling my arm back, I clutch my arm, looking down at it, a slight throbbing pain in my arm as a result of Cedric's gripping my arm tightly.

Quickly grabbing Marci, I pull his owl body into my arms and quickly leave to Transfiguration with Marci, not bothering to look back as Cedric, who continues to clutch his arm in pain.

In the back with Fred and George, the twins smile wickedly at the interaction.

"Looks like that owl really is useful for something, George.." Fred says, looking at the gushing cut on Cedric's arm in amusement.

I quickly walk to my class, taking a deep breath.

Marci looks down at my arm before gently gripping onto my sleeve with his beak and gently pulling my sleeve up, revealing a big hand sized pinkish purple bruise forming on my arm.

I look down at the bruise and wince at how big and awful it already looks despite being brand new.

𝘋𝘢𝘮𝘯, 𝘊𝘦𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘱.. 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵??

I gently pull my sleeve down to hide the bruise. Looking down at Marci, I gently pet him on his head, a soft sigh escaping my lips.

"Thanks for helping me, Marci.." I mutter quietly with a soft smile before continuing to walk to my class.

I continue walking to my Transfiguration class before stopping in my tracks. Slowly turning around, I turn to look at Cedric and see him already looking at me with a fond smile on his face, still clutching his bleeding arm.

His fond smile, despite the situation, creeps me out. A shudder goes down my spine at his gaze on me.

𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘺.. 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘺.. I think to myself before turning away from Cedric and looking over to the Weasley twins, Fred and George, who are both already looking at me with wicked smiles.

My breath hitches at the thought that they probably saw what happened. Slowly raising one of my hands up, I slowly wave to them before quickly turning back around.

Looking down at Marci, I grimace at the encounter with the Hufflepuff.

"Do you think Cedric knows what my class is?" I ask Marci worriedly.

He looks up at me with his same big beady eyes before slowly nodding his head, confirming my worries.

"Shit.." I mutter under my breath quietly before taking a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves.

"Okay.. then.. I'll just skip this class.. I'm sure the professor will understand.." I say quietly before slowly continuing to walk, but not to class. Instead, to somewhere else on school grounds.

The last thing I need is Cedric waiting for me outside my class..

Deciding to walk to somewhere more quiet, away from all the noise and prying eyes, I maneuver my way around the crowd, using the crowd to hide my figure.

I make my way through the crowd and outside Hogwarts with Marci still in my arms.

I walk outside Hogwarts, taking multiple deep breaths to control my breathing.

I clutch Marci in my arms tightly, feeling him nuzzle further into my arms as if to comfort me.

"I... should probably stay away from Cedric for a bit.. just until things cool down.." I say quietly to no one in particular, breaking the silence. Marci nods his head in agreement

Walking over to a tree, I sit under it, carefully setting Marci down onto my lap.

I sit down on the grass crisscross with Marci on my lap. I look down at my arm and carefully pull the sleeve up to look at the bruise again.

The bruise is still pinkish purple, but now it looks worse.. it was able to get worse in the span of only a few minutes..

Gently poking at the bruise, I wince and pull back at the immense pain from it.

𝘊𝘦𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘢 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘦.. 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘪𝘴, 𝘪 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨.. 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥'𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦... I think to myself, and honestly, Cedric could have done worse.. and that thought scares me..

Marci looks up at me with a softer expression before nuzzling into my stomach as if to provide me with comfort. And it works enough to make me feel at least somewhat comforted by the situation.

Marci is enough for me..

...

At least I hope so..
