caden walked towards the hufflepuff common room after dinner. “hello caden!” the portrait greeted with a smile. “hello” caden said with a smile, “hope all is well this evening” he continued. the portrait nodded and motioned for the password. caden whispered the password, and was instantly let through. the bright room was nothing compared to the hallways. the yellow in the room, seemed almost more like gold, and the black didn’t seem dreary at all next to the gold- yellow. caden greeted a few fellow hufflepuffs before retreating towards the fireplace.

he tossed his bag down with a thud, and loosened his tie. he plopped down in one of the many large armchairs and leaned into it closing his eyes. his mind flashed back to her. he knew it was wrong, they were too close for him to be thinking about her twenty-four seven. but he couldn’t help it. he groaned and ran his hands stressfully through his hair.

he had learned through their years together, that he just had to be happy with what he had with her. he couldn’t risk losing her, it’d hurt too much. he could still remember, sticking up for her against that bloody slytherin. it was one of the few times he had let his mouth slip about the house differences. she had basically become his little sister at least in the protection category. his feelings were nothing like what siblings felt. nothing. a few hufflepuffs lagged in the common room, talking quietly amongst themselves. he put his mind to rest for a few moments, staring blankly at the fireplace.

aftonie had just had potions. not just potions, double potions. however, apart from the slytherins, tony was the only one who exited with a smile. she didn't care about snape, because he didn't really notice her, this was because he had no reason to take points away from her house because potions was her favourite and best subject. one of the only ones she was good at. other than that, there was only astronamy and that wasn't really a stong ground for a job in the future. most of the gryffindors and the few ravenclaws in her class looked at her in utter bemusement, why anyone would emerge from potions with a smile on their face was a mystery to them.

tony and her group of friends wandered up the dungeon staircase and up into the entrance hall before turn right into the great hall for dinner. having a quick scan of the table she didn't see who she was hoping to chat too. grabbing a sandwich she shook off her friends and skipped down to the basement where the hufflepuff common room was hidden. she smiled toothily at the portrait "hello there." the portrait smiled back and returned her greeting before saying "mister haven just passed through here, if thats who you were looking for, as it unusual to see you alone." tony chuckled slightly "it's like you read my mind." she said the password and the framed picture swung open to admit her entry.

although the common room was extemely bright. brightness was added when tony stepped through the door way. well, even the dungeon looked inviting when a half-veela was present. tony looked over the common room and noticed that caden was sat near the fire with his uniform rather slack. she skipped over looked at his down face. "hey chicken." she lowered herself gracefully onto the double seated sofa next to him. "i got something to tell you," she grinned excitedly but then carried on "but theirs something bothering you, so you first."

it was hard to miss if aftonie entered the room. there was either a group of giggling girls surrounding her, or a chorus of boys greeting her the moment she walked in. caden however didn’t notice until she had spoken to him, and walked in front of him. “chicken?” he chuckled. “that’s a new one tony” he mused. he watched as she sat down, something he had grown fondly of. just watching her. not in a creepy stalker way, but in a protective, adoring way. maybe he should just keep that to himself for a bit.

” there’s something bothering you” she spoke lightly. she had something exciting to tell him, why couldn’t she just go first. oh yeah, he was bad at hiding emotions. he sighed quietly, but he knew very well she could hear it. she could hear everything. he thought for a second, he could blurt out that he was in love with her, or that he liked her way more then he should have, that would make life so much easier. then again, that had it’s bad side. she could run away, or slap him then run away or just completely ignore him. each of them hurt.

he knew better then to ruin what they had. he’d try his best just to pretend everything was alright. “just a rough day” he started. he still hadn’t looked away from her. “and a slight headache” he finished, with a smile. “nothing more.” he smiled at her, trying his best to reassure her, and himself for that matter. he pushed himself up straighter in the chair. “now tell me what you had to say tonie-ton” he smirked.

“that’s a new one tony” tony simply giggled and stuck her tounge out at him in jest before she picked up a chunk of her blondish brown hair and threw it over her shoulder so it was out of her way. she hated her hair making a barrier between the person she was talking too. hair was there to hide behind, tony liked long hair but not what it did to social behaviour. she looked up again just to see caden answer her question on what was bothering him. “just a rough day” tony nodded understandingly, she could tell there was an underlying problem but she wasnt one to press matters.

“now tell me what you had to say tonie-ton”

tony smirked at caden and shook her head "at least my nickname was normal... what the hell was that." she laughed and kicked off her shoes and pulled her legs into her chest on the sofa. she thought about how she was going to tell him.

tony dug her hand into her school bag and pulled out a small piece of parchment that was written on many times and held it too her chest. then looked back to caden "i met him" her brown eyes suddenly became dreamy and she then passed the note to caden and waited for him to read it and ask her anything.

“you like that nickname” he mused with a smirk. he watched as she made herself comfortable. she was just like him in that sort. he was able to kick off his shoes and loosen his tie almost anywhere and get comfortable. she was able to do the same, more gracefully of course. his eyes wandered from her to the fireplace every few minutes. two of the most beautiful things in the room.

he took a second to ponder what she wanted to tell him. maybe she had kicked that slytherin draco malfoy’s ass in a quitddich practice. then he realized if there was quitddich practice, he would’ve been there. maybe, she was going to tell him that she infact loved him, and that she couldn’t hold back her feelings much longer. he almost laughed out loud at the unlikely thought. but then he noticed that she hadn’t said it was good news. what if something was wrong? what if she was getting kicked out of school? or some boy had stolen her heart. the later was infact, only bad news for him, but still, it was classified as bad.

he watched as she rummaged through her school bag. he probably looked a bit nervous, but he ignored that fact and watched her closely. she pulled out a piece of paper and held it to her chest. he was a bit bewildered, as she started to gaze off somewhere else. “ i met him.” she met him? met who? he took the paper from her outstretch hand and began reading. every word of the green script made his fists clench the paper, and anger rise up into him.

he looked up suddenly, “who wrote this?”

tony laughed openly then replied "caden, i like everything you call me. whereas if i called you..." she paused for dramatic effect and a smirk spread across her own face as if she was up to no good, surely he would realise what she was going to say "... cade!" she scrunched up as if she was scared he'd hit her or something, she knew he wouldn't but it was a joke and caden could always take a joke.

usually tony was a good friend however, when she passed him the note she drifted off into her own dreamland where him and herself were at the top of the astronamy tower in the starlight once again. a sort of glazed look spread across her face, happily contented but not all there. she was looking at caden but not really seeing. consequently, she didn't see his fists clench, even though she was generally good at sensing emotions and caden wasn't good at hiding them.

a few nervous looking first years seemed to feel it and dashed off up to their dormitorys when caden opened his mouth to speak again. “who wrote this?” he said. snapping tony half-out of her trance. she smiled distantly then shrugged. "i don't know ... but it was him." his masked face shot into her mind as she metioned him.

“ caden, i like everything you call me. whereas if i called you..." he knew what was coming after that. he rolled his eyes with a playful smirk. ”cade!” came her soft sweet voice. if it wasn’t her calling him that, he probably would’ve lashed out at the person uttering the name. but, he knew well she only did it as a joke. he shook his head with a smile. “strange girl you are tonie-ton” he mocked, poking his tongue at her.

he was fuming, completely fuming. he was glad he wasn’t holding his wand at the moment, because he was sure he’d be casting some strange spells. he wanted nothing more than to crumble up the piece of parchment in his hands. but, he wasn’t going to show his anger in front of tony. he swallowed back his anger momentarily.

“you don’t know who he is?” he hissed. something he usually didn’t do. rarely, very rarely did he ever hiss or raise his voice near tony. but this was hitting him deep. “how do you not know who he is tony?!” he asked, his voice slightly raised. anyone lagging around in the room, gave a quick glance towards him before scurrying out.

he found himself laughing at tonie’s words.”you hurt me deeply chicken” he ignored her for a few moments, watching her frown and turn her back towards him. something else he loved about her, as if there wasn’t already enough. she was always good at making him feel bad, whether he deserved too or not. he sighed before poking her in the side lightly. “tonieeeeeee” he whined. “you have to talk to me, you like me too much” he continued, plastering on a toothy grin.

watching her in such a dreamlike state, made caden even more jealous. he wasn’t the one who wrote this note, or met her. he instantly wished he had been as smart as the bugger who did though. he stared at her, dumbfounded as she sank deeper into the couch. this wasn’t fair. not one bit. how come some random guy, could just walk in and make her float on clouds, and he who had known tonie almost all their lives, couldn’t even tell her how he felt. let alone, make her fall for him. he wanted to kill that genius of a bugger.

the site of her falling out of her dream world broke his heart even more than seeing her in the dream world that wasn’t about him. see what she could do to him?! he was confused. he should’ve been happy about her leaving her dream world, but no he felt like an ass. his hiss had made her fall out of her happy state. why couldn’t he just be happy for her? oh yeah, he was in love with her. right. her glistening eyes filled with tears, broke whatever was left of his heart. why couldn’t one of those stupid first years come back and transform him into a chair. he wouldn’t ‘t be able to talk. tonie wouldn’t be on the verge of tears. stupid first years.

he rolled his eyes at his stupid thoughts. he couldn’t blame this on someone who had nothing to do with it at all. the only person he could blame was himself, and the bugger who wrote the letter. “i don’t know..” came her voice again. weaker this time, almost a whisper. she wouldn’t look at him. her eyes stayed fixed to the floor, away from him. he sighed, running a hand through his hair again, something he did when he was stressed. the note was still crumbled in his left hand, he opened his palm reluctantly, and stared down at it. with one deep breath he took one last look at the note, closed his hand and stood up from the armchair. he slowly walked over next to her, occupying the other spot on the couch. he wanted to reach out an hug her, even play with her hair, but he didn’t. instead he held out the crumbled note. “i’m sorry.”

tony's shoulders shook with her laughter as she was turning away from him. a few moments silence before “tonieeeeeee” she stopped giggling a huge smiled etched onto her face as he pleaded with her. “you have to talk to me, you like me too much” she felt the poke in her side and sqwirmed a little. tony, was terribly ticklish and anyone poking her in any way make her burst into laughter, and without fail, she did just this "ahhh caden! you know im ticklish! dont prod me." a huge smile was shining from her lower face. she turned around a reached out to caden and prodded him on the end oh his nose "like you too much?" she laughed again.

tony and caden had always got on really well, even as kids. and tony wouldnt let anything ruin this relationship. though sometimes, being too close was a problem but caden and herself never seemed to experience this. maybe they were closer than close? closer than her and elisa, her best cousin. was that even possible. she could tell caden everything, but she couldnt with elisa. yet, elisa was probably her best girl at hogwarts.

maybe there was supposed to be more between tony and caden... maybe they felt closer because fate was urging them to be. this thought crossed tony's mind quite frquently when she was in the company on caden. but she always shook it off quickly reasoning with herself. one, they were way to close and two, he probably didn't like her anyway and she'd feel like a fool if she said anything and three, it would ruin their exsisting relationship. and to be frank, that would really suck on tony's part.

she couldnt bear to see caden so angry, she didnt want to look at him, she didnt want her image of a peaceful sixteen year old to be ruined. she couldnt bear it. she couldnt bear his angry voice. it would destroy her. she heard a sigh behind her in the now deserted common room. a small tear trickled down tony's smooth cheek she wiped it away quickly, she wasnt going to let him see her cry. god no. next the squeak of the chair indicated that he'd stood up. a sudden panick filled her face. he was going to leave her here crying. tony's stomach flipped when caden left her usually, even if he was going to class. but never, never would he leave her in this state.

she didn't look up but fiddled with her trousers and whispered "dont leave." another trickle of a tear left her eye, this time she didnt bother to wipe it away "... please?" she added uncertainly. however her wish was granted when he sat down on the couch next to her. she looked up slowly into his face, thick pearly tears still streaming down her face. she wanted to hug him, make some kind of contact at least, but what if he exploded. she couldnt see him worse than she already had. “i’m sorry.” came him voice as she looked into his eyes. her jaw dropped slightly, only enough to show her front two teeth. "oh caden, no im sorry." she couldnt resist any longer. she flung her arms forward and wrapped them around his neck into a tight embrace.

he laughed at the girl before him, giggling like a child. yet another thing he loved about her. she was so carefree, so young at heart. he knew very well she was ticklish, and he’d constantly use it as an advantage. "ahhh caden! you know im ticklish! dont prod me." her giggles filled the empty common room again, and he couldn ‘t help but plaster on a smile. he loved this girl way too much. she turned to face him, and his heart nearly stopped beating. her tiny finger prodded his nose and he smiled up at her. her brown eyes were shining with glee as she spoke. “like you too much?" he nodded silently. “you do, your life just wouldn’t be complete without me dear tonie-ton” he smirked.

caden’s mind flashed back to a few years ago. his second year, tony’s first. the guys were already talking about her. he still had the advantage though, he’d known her since they were barely able to talk in sentences. he could remember the loud cheers when the hat had pronounced she belonged in hufflepuff. he was one of those cheerers. his mind flashed back to the present though, his advantage was no longer a real advantage. knowing her longer didn’t mean much these days. getting her heart; that’s what really mattered.

he saw the tear escape from her brown eye and he felt like a total nob. his heart stopped as he stood up, and heard her usual voice so soft. ”don’t leave”. he wasn’t planning to. merlin no, he would never leave her like this. he panicked everytime she turned a corner without him beside her, and she wasn’t crying then. here she was crying, and still beautiful. how she did it? he had no idea. her face met his, and the itch to reach out and wipe away her tears happened once more. ” oh caden, no im sorry." and with that, his itch was met.

her tiny arms were wrapped around his neck, and his larger ones had found their way to her waist, hugging her close. he lived for this, just being with her like this. and even though he wanted more, he’d let himself be happy with just this. he pulled away from her momentarily, letting his thumb wipe away the remainders of her tears. he let his blue eyes, stare into her brown ones, “you have no reason to be, i flipped, i’m sorry” he said again. there was still a pit of anger rising in his stomach though, but he swallowed it back, saving it for the first time he’d meet the nob who wrote the note to his tonie-ton.

“you do, your life just wouldn’t be complete without me dear tonie-ton”

she lowered her giggling to a small, weak smile as he degraded himself to a mute and nodded. she tipped her head to one side and her golden hair trickled from her back, over her shoulder and tumbled over her arm. then he made a statement how it life wouldnt be a full jigsaw without him. tony beamed and spoke softly "to be honest caden. life wouldn't just be incomplete, it wouldn't be worth living." she smiled shyly and tucked her hair behind her ear "what would i do without you? your such a crazy." she chucked. woah, what she said sounded really deep. it wasnt like she was leading him on or anything... honest.

being so young on the interior, tony found it easy to throw emotions aside and not think about them again. being a young eleven year old, she'd alway liked caden. even at such a young age. but as soon as her life got busier at hogwarts and she met more guys. she began to forget about everything she ever thought about caden. but deep down, they'd always been something there. something different. tony had always, however, chosen to ignore it. due to the fact she put it down to them being the closest friends ever.

as she flung her arms around his neck she felt his arms find her hips. exactly where he had held her. she closed her eyes, almost back into the dream world when she realised "no, this is caden." she shook her head and pulled away forcefully. luckily she pulled away at the exact moment caden did. hopefully he wouldnt notice and question her. she didnt want any more grief to plague their relationship. they'd had enough drama for one night.

his large thumb wiped away her tears. why did she feel so safe, so secure in his arms? it shouldnt be like that. she felt it with the 'stranger' too. but nothing like the intensity of caden. maybe it was to do with the size of his muscles. yeah, we'll put it down to that for now. tony argued with her conscience, yes it was that, nothing more. “you have no reason to be, i flipped, i’m sorry” she smiled weakly through her viaduct of tears. then shook her head "no, its me." she traced his ears with her fingers "i shouldnt have showed you i guess." she felt so bad. she didnt feel like she was fit to even stare into his eyes. she lowered her gaze to her knees and removed her arms from his neck.
