And it just so happened that one of his prejudices was for those who weren't good at the said subject. And to think that the guy was a Ravenclaw. Well, he guessed each person had his/her own weaknesses. He never ceased to flunk History of Magic. Deciding to show your prejudices was to, at the same time, earn you enemies, Cedric dropped the thought of saying something to the guy.

Ara spoke. A perfect timing to let his random thoughts die away. "Indeed. The animals could really use a pretty sight." And by pretty sight, he, of course, meant Ara.

Cedric cocked his head to one side, and practically gaped at Mia in utmost disbelief. Did he look like he was about to sleep and all?

Yes, that was kind of true. Hence he repressed his yawn, albeit unsuccessful.
