It was another beautiful day at hogwarts. The sun was shining brightly and it was really warm outside. Most of the students had thrown their robes to the drawer, but despite the warmness, you were wearing your hufflepuff robe. You were sitting outside with your best friend, cedric diggory. You have had a huge crush on him since the beginning of your school year. He didn’t know about your feelings towards him, because you thought it could ruin your friendship with him. You were reading a book about charms while cedric was talking to his friends next to you. It didn’t really bother you anymore, because he was probably the most popular guy in hogwarts at the time. You smiled and went back to reading. Cedric glanced at you few times even though he tried to hide his interest in you. You both were on your sixth year and everything was going just well, except your feelings were getting on the way when you were talking to him. You blushed bright red when he hugged you or even touched you. The butterflies you felt in your stomach didn’t want to go away. 

‘‘I’ve noticed that cormac is keeping his eyes on you, looks like he fancies you a lot’’ Cedric said and looked at you.

‘‘McLaggen? he is okay, i guess’‘ you said and sighed. Cormac was cute, but he seemed a little too excited everytime he saw you. Once he even ran away, because you stared at him for a little too long.

‘‘You two would make a cute couple’‘ He said back to you and gave you a tiny smile. Cedric was also falling for you, but didn’t want his feelings to be shown. It would crush him if you would reject him and the bond between you two would get weird. 

‘‘oh.. cool’‘ You smiled back at him and looked back at your book. Cedric was the only person you were really interested in. You noticed how he also got a lot of attention from the girls. You got really nervous when he leaned onto you and looked at the pages. His other arm was almost wrapped around you and his lips were almost touching your cheek. Just a touch made you nervous. You shook your head so the thoughts would go away and you placed your book back into your bag and stood up. He looked up at you confused while almost falling on the ground.

‘‘where are you going y/n?’‘ He raised his eyebrows and stoop up. You blushed and looked away so he wouldn’t see it. He placed his fingers underneath your chin and turned your face back to him. 

‘‘I’m going to the bathroom to... uhm’‘ you mumbled and looked straight into his grey eyes. He laughed a little and smiled. 

‘‘alright then, i’ll catch up with you later, okay?’‘ he said and turned his face to his friends. 

you walked back in and saw cormac staring at you once again. He kept his eyes on you and finally walked up to you. He had this wide smile on his face and he was almost smirking at you.

‘‘hey beautiful, how are you doing today on this beautiful day?’‘ cormac asked and looked into your eyes. 

‘‘uhm.. i’m doing fine’’ you blushed a little and looked down and then back up at him. 

‘‘i wondered would you like to go on a date with me?’‘ he asked and nervously scratched his neck. 

‘‘yeah.. i mean.. sure’‘ you replied and smiled at him. Little did he know that your feelings belonged to your own best friend.

‘‘wonderful, i’ll see you this evening? we could go get butterbeers in the three broomsticks’‘ cormac replied and finally his smile was back on his face.

‘‘sure, i’ll be there at 6′‘ you answered and gave him a smile.

after that, you walked away from him, while thinking of you and him. You and cormac, for now. You knew that cedric was most likely back in the common room, so you walked in there and saw him. He was reading, not sure about what.

‘‘hey ced, what are you reading?’‘ you walked behind him and messed up his hair. 

‘‘well hello, y/n. I was just reading..uhm.. this book’‘ he said and closed it up.

‘‘interesting.. you know what happened today?’‘ you continued and sat down next to him.

‘‘you.. learned a new spell?’’ he guessed and smiled at you.

‘‘nope, i got a date with cormac’‘ you replied and blushed a little while thinking about someone else..

‘‘oh really? that’s.. cool’‘ he replied and smiled a little. 

for a moment it was just silent. He nervously looked down and was silently in his thoughts. You were thinking about him, about cedric. It would be like a dream to go on a date with him. He would constantly tell you how beautiful you look and would also hold your hand while walking to another place. Just seeing his grey eyes or his beautiful dark hair made you weak on the knees, but you were good at hiding it. You’ve kept it a secret since the first year. 

‘‘i have it in few hours, so i’ll get ready and.. stuff’‘ you got up and looked back at him. He was still thinking. 

you walked to your dormitory and searched for your hairbrush. You brushed through your hair and decided to add a little bit of blush on your cheeks. You were ready to go. To be honest, it was a weird feeling you got. Not the same with cedric. With him, you felt butterflies in your stomach and you could feel your heart racing. At this moment, while walking to three broomsticks, you didn’t quite feel the same. It felt nice... a little bit. When you walked in, you saw cormac there waiting for you. He was dressed nicely and had clearly fixed his hair. When he saw you, a quick smile landed on his face and he walked up to you. 

‘‘wow.. great you’re here y/n’‘ cormac said and offered his hand to you.

you grabbed it and didn’t say a single word. after glancing over, you noticed that cedric was also there. not alone, he was there with a girl called cho chang. You didn’t know her well, but she was really popular. You looked back at cormac a little upset and sat down at the nearest table.

‘‘you look really nice today’‘ he looked at you and gave you a little smirk.

‘‘thank you, cormac’‘ you said and glanced at cedric once more.

‘‘you’re not going to say it back to me?’‘ he looked at you and raised his eyebrows.

‘‘uhm.. you look.. nice’‘ you replied a little confused.  

‘‘that’s right, anyways. I noticed you looking at me the other day. i know you have a big crush on me’‘ he said and grabbed your hand. You felt a little uncomfortable with that situation and you pulled your hand away.

‘‘i’m sorry.. i just..’‘ you shook your head a little and looked down. 

Cormac stood up a little angry and looked at you.

‘‘do not try to deny it! i know you like me, stop denying it!’‘ he said and looked straight into your eyes, a little cold.

You mumbled something and before you said anything, cedric walked over to you two. 

‘‘hey, i think it’s best for you to leave’’ Cedric said and glanced over at you, a little worried.

‘‘and who are you to say? It’s not like you’re her boyfriend anyways’‘ cormac said and walked away angry.

cedric blushed a little and looked down at you.

‘‘are you okay y/n?’‘ he asked a sat down next to you.

‘‘yeah i’m okay, you should go back to your date. I’ll just .. go back’‘ you placed your hand on your forehead and closed your eyes.

‘‘it’s really not like a date.. she asked me to come and i said yes.. really i just wanted to see you here’‘ cedric replied and looked down nervously.

‘‘really?’‘ You opened your eyes and stared at him while blushing again.

‘‘yes.. i’ve wanted to ask you something for a while now’‘ He said and looked back at you. His hands were shaking a bit and he was almost mumbling.

‘‘ask me ced, anything’‘ you placed your hand on top of his and smiled a little.

‘‘i wondered.. would you like to go on a date with me?’‘ he said and blushed. He couldn’t hide his feelings any longer. He had been in love with you for a while now, but never showed it. 

‘‘yes, absolutely’‘ you replied and smiled widely. 

He held your hand for a moment and finally he looked back into your eyes. He was also smiling and was coming closer to you. You felt like your heart wanted to make its way out of your chest. You leaned towards him and finally felt your lips against his.

It was the halloween night. For witches and wizards it was more. Everyone wanted to shine in their new costumes and decorations. Hogwarts was decorated with pumpkins and candles. Dumbledore was choosing the song for tonight and students were preparing for the halloween dance. You and your boyfriend cedric, were discussing about your costumes. 

‘‘Are you sure it’s a good idea?’‘ He asked you while looking nervously in your eyes.

‘‘It’ll be fun! You will look amazing in that, trust me’‘ you answered him with a wide smile. 

‘‘Well, if you picked it’‘ He said back to you and laughed a little.

You wanted to go as something that would match perfectly, and you too found one on the new films you’ve just had seen. 

‘‘I’ll go as bella and you’ll go as edward. It will look good, trust me. I just have to... oh god, where did the contacts go?’‘ You sighed and searched for the little container. While searching, you looked up at him and caught him staring at you.

‘‘is everything okay?’‘ you looked and him and turned your head a little.

‘‘yeah, you just look really beautiful’‘ he said and blushed slightly. 

you smiled and went back to searching. After finally finding them, you stood up and opened the little container.

‘‘Hope our eyes can take this’‘ you laughed nervously and you put your contacts first to make sure they won’t react badly. After few minutes, your eyes were used to it and you looked back at cedric.

‘‘They look really.. nice’‘ He said and stared at your eyes, you could see that he was a little nervous when you came closer and placed the contacts over his beautiful grey eyes. He stayed still and blinked a couple of times, so his eyes would get used to it.

‘‘wow, look at that. My own edward cullen.’‘ You said a placed a kiss on his cheek and smiled. He smiled back at you and turned his face fully towards yours. He looked at your new eyes and placed a soft kiss on your lips. It felt as good as the first time did, just a gentle, passionate kiss.

”Ready to go?” He asked and backed off a little.

You nodded and you two stood up and headed towards the great hall. On the way there, you noticed girls staring at him and giggling to each other. You tried to ignore it all and just looked back at him. He smiled at you and glanced at some people on the way.

”Look at that, our pretty boy dressing up for the halloween party” Fred said to his brother George. They were always making jokes about you two, but mostly him.

Many of the guys were jealous of him, because of his good looks and charming personality. He wasn’t the type of guy who would brag about it. Many of them wanted to be just like him, some of them even tried to be him. He never got mad at it, just looked away and smiled, like usual. The girls were totally a different case. You knew it was not going to be easy with them after they found out about him asking you to be his girlfriend. Some of them got really mad, but few of them didn’t want to give up. You totally understood why they were acting like this. Cedric was one of a kind, you’ve never seen anyone so beautiful, inside and out. His heart was like pure gold. He was kind, generous, loyal and humble. One of his traits was also his exceptionally handsome face. He had this beautiful dark hair and a perfectly straight nose. He was tall and athletic, it made girls even more crazy about him. He could get anyone he wanted, but the one was you. Just an ordinary girl, who was no different from anyone else. He still saw something different in you and it drove him crazy. He was so attracted with your goodness and your beautiful features. Cedric smiled at the twins and turned his head back to you.  

‘‘Don’t worry about them, ced. It was well expected, wasn’t it?’‘ You gave a slight smile and held his hand even tighter. 

You two were almost at the hall, but got interrupted by two slytherin girls. They were dressed up as twins and they were both staring at cedric. One of them glanced quickly at you and turned their eyes towards him. 

‘‘Hey cedric, you look very handsome this evening. I think you chose your costume very wisely. Just like edward, you are really outstandingly handsome’‘ One of the girls giggled and looked at him, to find an expression. He looked at you a little embarrassed and glanced back at them.

‘‘uhm.. thank you’‘ he said and blushed a little bit. 

You looked away and tried not to say anything mean to them. You were mostly already used to this, but tonight was different. It didn’t stop at the first slytherin girls. As you two headed in the great hall, everyone turned their heads and stared. It was awkward for both of you, but mostly for him, because the stares lead to him. When the music started playing, he smiled and offered his hand to you. You placed your hand on top of his and danced. It was a lot of fun in the beginning, but it got a little frustrating, as he was interrupted almost every second. He tried to make the answers quick, so he could get back to you as quickly as possible. You sighed, when another girl showed up. You looked down and walked to one of the balconies of the castle. You stared at the full moon while breathing out heavily, almost tearing up. Meanwhile in the great hall, cedric had noticed your disappearance and searched the whole hall. He noticed you standing outside and tried walking up to you, before getting interrupted once again. 

‘‘Could we have a quick dance?’‘ One of the girls asked. She was a pretty one, not really caring about other people, but herself. 

Cedric stared at you and and looked back at her. 

‘‘I..uh.. i have something to do actually’‘ he mumbled and tried to walk away, but the girl had taken a grip of his hand.

‘‘please, only this once’‘ she begged and faked a couple of tears for him.

he sighed and walked back into the great hall. He was a good person and didn’t want to hurt anyone. It was a pity that he didn’t seem to notice how most of the crying was faked and were only made, so he would feel bad about it. He danced with her for a while and rushed back to the balcony. Surprised, he noticed that you weren’t there anymore. You’ve walked outside all alone, tearing up at one of the benches. He searched for you and got frustrated when he couldn’t find you. He ran outside and finally saw you. He couldn’t possibly feel any worse. He ran up to you and sat down on the bench. He gabbed your hand and looked at you.

”I’m so sorry..” he said and almost teared up.

”It’s okay, it’s not your fault” you said and looked up to him. You were right, it wasn’t his fault. He didn’t want to hurt anyone so he agreed to almost anything.

”It is, i shouldn’t have left you all alone” he said. You could feel his hands shaking and you could feel how sorry he was.

”You’re now here with me” you looked at him and placed a soft kiss on his cheek.

He felt a little better, but couldn’t let go of that feeling on his chest.

”I love you, so much” he said to you nervously. It was the first time you heard him saying it. It felt so strong and real, so you turned your face fully towards him and smiled.

”I love you too ced” you said and smiled.

He smiled and came closer to you. He closed his eyes as he got closer and finally pressed his lips against yours. It felt like forever and you didn’t want to let go. The moment was beautiful. The pumpkins glowed and the full moon showed itself on the perfect second. He kissed you softly, but gently. It wasn’t his first time kissing you, but it felt as real as the first one. You were both really happy with each other. He finally backed off and looked at you with a bright smile. 

‘‘could i have this one dance, mrs. y/l/n?’‘ he asked and offered his hand to you.

‘‘yes you will, mr. diggory’‘ you placed your hand on top of his and he took you to his arms.
