PAIRING: Cedric Diggory x Potter!fem!reader

WARNINGS: fluff, kissing, sort of established relationship, mutual pinning.

SUMMARY: Cedric slips you a note in class, which leads to the both of you sneaking out at midnight.

The note appeared during Potions.

You were copying down the instructions from the board when a small folded piece of paper slid quietly onto your desk. You glanced around, expecting one of your classmates to be giggling, but everyone seemed to be focused on their own work.

Slowly, you unfolded it. The handwriting was neat and familiar.

“Prefects’ bathroom. Midnight.

—Cedric”

A smile immediately tugged at your lips as you looked across the dungeon. Cedric sat with the other Hufflepuffs, listening carefully to Professor Snape as though he hadn’t just sent you a note in the middle of class. It was almost unfair how effortlessly he could act innocent while your heart was still racing from the message.

As if he could feel your eyes on him, he glanced over, giving you one of his signature smiles before looking back down at his notes.

You and Cedric never exactly announced anything, but being Harry Potter’s sister meant that things had a way of becoming everyone’s business. Everyone noticed the way Cedric always looked at you like you hung the stars, how you somehow always ended up beside him whenever there was a free seat, and how he never failed to walk you to class, making sure to carry all your books while still always having a free hand to hold yours.

By midnight, Hogwarts had fallen into its natural silence. You slipped through the corridors, your footsteps softly echoing against the stone floors. When you reached the prefects’ bathroom, the door was slightly open.

Cedric stood near the edge of the water, his sleeves rolled slightly up his arms, giving you a soft smile. Steam rose from the tub, drifting through the salty air, carrying traces of the sweet vanilla soap.

“Hey, sweetheart,” he said, holding out his arms, inviting you into them.

“You know, you could have just said you missed me,” you teased as you walked toward him.

A soft laugh escaped his lips.

“Well, I certainly do.”

Your cheeks grew warm as he wrapped his arms around your waist before leaning in to press soft kisses just below your jaw, enough to make you gasp. Cedric looked up at you, a smile spreading across his face.

You took the time to gently tug at the hair near the nape of his neck and close the distance between the two of you. His lips were warm, and there was a familiar trace of peppermint and coffee that lingered. With every passing second, the kiss grew more and more desperate. His tongue nudged gently at your bottom lip, asking for permission, which you gladly gave by parting your lips, only making the kiss sloppier.

Your fingers tangled in his thick hair as he let out a low hum against your lips. His hand roamed up the inside of your once-tucked-in shirt. You groaned before pulling away with more restraint than you usually managed.

“Ced,” you whispered, your voice breathless. “As much as I’d love to stay here all night, I do have exams in the morning.”

Cedric looked down at you, his lips still swollen and glossy, a protesting look on his face.

“And Harry would kill me if he found out about this.”

Cedric laughed softly, his thumb brushing up and down your waist.

“Probably a wise decision.”

“Probably?”

He smirked.

“I’m just saying, I think it was worth it.”

“Same time tomorrow?” he added jokingly.

You rolled your eyes, poking his chest.

“Don’t push your luck, Diggory.”

He laughed quietly before pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead, lingering just a moment before whispering in your ear.

“Whatever you say, love.”

You shook your head, trying not to smile too much.

“Goodnight, Cedric.”

୨ৎ my dirty little secret

cedric diggory x slytherin!reader

being a slytherin who’s a part of draco and pansy’s friend group came with restrictions.

one of said restrictions was to avoid dating people from other houses, especially hufflepuff.

cedric knew that. you told him that your friends would never approve. sure, they’d still hang out with you, but you knew that they’d talk shit about you and “pretty boy diggory” the second you were gone.

ever the loverboy, he didn’t care. he’d send anonymous flowers to your dorm, pass notes in class, and constantly hold eye contact with you across the great hall.

and when he scored for hufflepuff during the quidditch game against slytherin, he instantly found you in the deafening crowd of cheers and gave you a ridiculously charming wink.

despite the fear of the rest of the slytherins finding out, you couldn’t deny the thrill that sneaking around with cedric gave you. a small part of you liked having the golden boy as your dirty little secret.

Synopsis: Cedric has to choose between love and how people look at him.

*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:

Cedric and I had been together for a year now. We weren't out as it wasn't common for wizards to be like us.

I mean, to be gay.

It was actually pretty easy to hide because we could just pretend to be best friends. No one thought twice about us spending time together or always being around each other.

What I didn't know was that this year would be much harder than before because Cedric had been chosen by the Goblet of Fire.

Being worried about your best friend was one thing, but pacing back and forth before every task and looking like a madman was something else.

As much as I liked partying, seeing my boyfriend alive and only somehow disheveled after fighting a dragon made me want to do something else with him rather than party with everyone.

Thanks to Harry Potter stealing most of the spotlight, we were able to enjoy a little peace.

However, things took another turn when the Yule Ball came up.

"Cedric, maybe we should take this opportunity to, you know, come out?"

"Y/N, it's easy for you to say that. You're not the one people will look at differently. It's not your reputation that's at risk."

I scoffed at his words.

"What do you mean I won't be looked at differently? Trust me, if I walk through those doors with my hand in yours, people will stare. And what do you mean by reputation? Just because I'm not competing in the Tournament doesn't mean I don't have one."

I heard him sigh before he took my hands in his.

"You know that's not what I meant... But everything will become so much harder if we come out."

"Oh, so what? Are we supposed to hide forever? Do you think our relationship is some kind of joke?"

I pulled my hands away from his and looked down at the floor, hurt by his words.

"You know what? I don't want to hear the answer."

I turned my back on him and walked to my dormitory alone.

Days passed, and the dance lessons didn't help me forget our conversation. Maybe I was overreacting, but who would want to see their boyfriend dancing with someone else?

I sighed for what felt like the hundredth time that day.

My friends couldn't understand why I'd been so down lately, which only made everything harder.

Finally, the night of the Yule Ball arrived.

I stood off to the side of the hall, feeling like a lost puppy as I waited for the champions - mostly Cedric - to enter.

The doors finally opened, and the champions began arriving with their partners.

Then Cedric walked in, alone.

I looked around and saw that everyone seemed just as surprised as I was. After all, he was handsome. Seeing him without a partner was enough to make anyone wonder why.

Before I could think about it any longer, he walked straight toward me and held out his hand.

"Will you do me the honor of being my first dance?"

He gave me his signature smile, and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Of course."

I took his hand, and together we stepped onto the dance floor.

The eyes of the entire room were on us, but neither of us cared.

When the dance ended, Cedric leaned forward and kissed me.

My face immediately turned red, but I couldn't bring myself to care.

For the first time, we didn't have to hide.

And that made me happier than anything.

"Thank you," I whispered.

You can also find this on AO3.

I also have other Cedric x reader stories currently up on my AO3.

Walking the multiple flights of stairs that lead to Cedric's tower you scowled. This morning you had overheard the great sorcerer talk to his raven about something he shouldn't have. You remembered how you had been patrolling the garden outside, Cedric was picking some plants as he spoke to his raven about some new potion.

You smiled to yourself as you noticed him. You and Cedric were much too close. Closer than any "friends" should be. Walking towards where he was your ears perked up at something he had said.

"Wormy, we need that amulet!" He chuckled mischievously. "With this potion I'm about to make surely, this time it will be mine!"

You stood in place as you listened in closely. Making sure to be quiet you continued to walk towards him slowly. His back was shown to you as most of his body was surrounded by bushes. Wormwood no were in your sight.

"With the amulet of Avalor, I will be unstoppable!" He paused for a second before nervously chuckling. "We, we will be unstoppable." He corrected himself.

"Amulet of Avalor?" You thought as you tilted your head slightly. "Isn't that Princess Sofia's amulet? What does he mean by unstoppable?"

Coming to a complete stop your questions were answered.

"Once we take over the kingdom, we'll show everyone that we were always better than them! Oh Merlin I can't wait!" He laughed.

"Take over the kingdom!?" Stomping your way over to where he was picking flowers he flinched at the sound of footsteps.

Turning his head to the sound his eyes widened at your angry expression. "A-ah! Y/N! Doing your evening patrolling?" He asked nervously. "Did they hear what I said!?"

"Cedric" You called his name out, your arms crossed against your chest. "What are you doing out here? It's quite hot today wouldn't you agree?" You asked as you decided to not say anything about what you had heard. As much as you needed to do your job as the lead royal guard, you didn't want anything bad to happen to Cedric.

"Huh? O-oh yeah, I guess so." He mumbled nervously.

"Well finish up what you were doing and go inside, I wouldn't want you to suffer a heat stroke." Placing a hand on your hip you stared him up and down.

He got embarrassed by the way you were looking at him and didn't dare meet your gaze.

"Cedric, I don't have night duty. Do you have anything planned tonight?" You asked him, a sly smirk present on your lips.

"Tonight? N-no, I'm not doing anything. Why do you ask...?" He nervously questioned.

From your spot you leaned forward, being careful not to fall into the bush that separated you and Cedric. Placing your hands on his shoulders he squealed, an almost unnoticeable blush spread on his face. "Please do prepare yourself for what's to come. Just remember you placed yourself in this situation."

"W-what? What are you talking about?" He gulped, his adam's apple moving with the action.

"Nothing that you must worry about right now. Just be ready when I come to see you later okay?" You chuckled. "Do me a favor and just make sure it's just the two of us alright?" Sliding your hands off of him you continued to laugh at his reaction. You waved him goodbye as you left. Continuing on your patrolling around the enormous castle.

Once nighttime had rolled around you told your colleagues you would be leaving your post. They told you goodnight as your figure left their vision.

That's how you found yourself walking towards Cedric's tower, climbing the stairs you arrived at his door. It was eerily quiet as you lifted your hand to knock on the wooden door. Knocking you were able to hear him scramble about. A loud "I'm coming!" could be heard from behind the door.

Finally, the door opened, revealing the great sorcerer who was still in his daily robes. "Come in." He said as he pulled you inside in a hurry. Closing the door behind him he looked up at you slightly annoyed. "So what is it? It's already past midnight I thought you would have come sooner, I'm literally about to pass out." He groaned as he rolled his eyes dramatically.

"Please you have no reason to act this way." You talked back as you sighed. Taking off your red guard hat you placed it on his table. The sword on the side of your hip is next to be placed on the table. Sighing once more you spoke loudly. "Look I'm going to go ahead and tell you now." You said as you slammed your hands on Cedric's table harshly. A quiet cry left his lips as he jumped slightly at the sound. "You should really learn to shut your mouth, Cedric, your lucky it was just me and not anyone else." You said as you stepped closer to where he was.

Cedric panicked as he slowly backed up. His back hit the cold stone that made up his tower. "H-huh? What are you talking about Y/N? I'm a little confused about why you're so angry...!"

Grabbing his chin you forced him to look at you. "I know what you're planning Cedric."

His eyes widened and his mouth slightly opened from shock because of what you said."

Let me tell you it's my job to protect the royal family, it's my job to take down anyone and anything that is trying to hurt them in any way." Sliding down the hand that was holding his chin to his neck, you began to apply minimal pressure.

"Wait! P-please I swear I d-didn't mean it. It's just a...a misunderstanding!" He sputtered out.

"Hm? Are you implying that I assumed things?"

"N-no of course not!"

Sighing deeply you began to chuckle at his scared face. "Traitors..." You began to whisper. "Deserve punishment for their actions, wouldn't you agree Cedric?" He gulped as his frightened body trembled. His throat dry, not being able to answer you, you clicked your tongue in annoyance. "It seems you really want to be punished. It's late, I wouldn't want to worry my king at this late hour." You grumbled. Your hold on his neck not faltering.

Cedric released a breath he didn't know he was holding. A sudden idea popped up in Cedric's mind. A bright red blush spread across his face. He realized how close you were to him. Your chest practically touching his. He hated the way your hold on him made him feel. Also, the way you kept repeating that he would be "punished" left his mind straight in the gutter.

Looking down at him you questioned his current expression. "What's this now? Are you seriously enjoying this?" You said in a teasing manner.

At this point, the blush has even spread to the tips of his ears. It took a lot out of him but he managed to say what he was thinking. The words left his lips slowly. "I am..." He said as he looked straight into your eyes. "I...I think that I deserved to be punished."

Your eyes widened at his words. Your mouth left agape for a few seconds before your lips formed into a smirk. "I see...well consider yourself lucky." Pushing your body close to his you allowed his hands to slide down to your hips. He began to let his hands wander farther. Touching and caressing multiple parts of your body. He leaned into you, kissing you he sighed in contentment.

"Cedric" You called out as you separated from him. "Do remember this is a punishment." Grabbing his hands off of you he whined. "No touching unless I say so okay?" He simply nodded his head as he watched you take your guard coat. Your white undershirt is next to leave you.
