#mays-requests

Today's date had been in both yours and Cedric's calendars for weeks now. It'd been too long since you had both spent some time alone together.

The times where you snuck around in the library after hours whilst sharing kisses under the guise of studying potions were lovely. But those moments weren't enough. Both of you wanted to enjoy a proper date for once.

So when the two of you were approaching the Three Broomsticks together, hand-in-hand with matching smiles on your faces, all you felt was joy.

You always found yourself smiling in your boyfriend's presence, no matter how horrible your day had been. It was rare for a person to have this affect on you, but you were glad it was Cedric who had taken your heart.

The pair of you chose the booth that you always did. As you were both given unnecessary menus, you sat back in your chair to let the warmth and familiarity envelop your weary body.

But that was when you heard the snide voices chattering away from a nearby table.

Noticing your sudden freeze-up, Cedric reached a hand under the table to link his fingers through yours, "Are you alright, sweetheart?"

"Yeah, kinda." you hum back.

Cedric soon catches on to what has caused your distress, and he was quick to notice that your walls were suddenly flying back up, leaving nothing but a scowl on your face.

You snapped your head towards the group of bratty girls and turned the glare to them. Unsurprisingly, they were a part of the familiar group of Hufflepuffs who trailed after your boyfriend all the time.

"What the fuck is her problem?" one whispered to the other.

The other scoffed, "Slytherins, I don't know what people see in them. Especially ones like her."

You opened your mouth to give a rude retort, but Cedric squeezed your hand and spoke before you could, "I think you two should mind your own business and leave both of us alone. Y/n happens to be nicer, prettier and funnier than either of you could ever be."

That quickly shut the two girls up - but you couldn't find any words either.

Within moments, the pair of girls mumbled what could've been an apology and left the building as quickly as they could.

"Love, are you okay?" Cedric asked tentatively.

You hesitated for a moment, going through Ced's kind words over and over again in your head. Instantly your mood had soared up and you were feeling so much better now that those invasive girls had vanished.

"Yes!" you reply simply and cheerfully, beaming at the brunette in a stark contrast to your glare from earlier, "That was really sweet of you."

Cedric breathed a sigh of relief and sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck, "I was barely scratching the surface of your magnificence."

You pull his hand towards you and oress a gentle kiss to his knuckles (something that he liked to do to you), "You're too good to me Ced."
