Lightning *Fred Weasley love*

Year 5 Part 6

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Hermione told me this morning that I shouldn't feel guilty about going out with Cedric I should let myself be happy with someone new
Charlie told me the same thing in his letter
But I couldnt help it after the conversation I heard last night

Fred was talking to George
I was watching from the top of the stairs near the girls dorms

  "She's moving on, I don't know if I can" he confessed to George

  "Let her be happy, if it's meant to be she'll come back" he said putting his hand on Fred's shoulder "I saw you race for that bludger and it reminded me of back in the day when you did that, she's a bludger magnet" he said laughing but Fred didnt laugh

  "I should be glad that Cedric saved her from it, but all I could think of in that moment was to jump in front of her, and take the hit. But when he did it for me, it just enraged me. I miss her, everything reminds me of her I don't understand how she moved on so easily without even talking to me about what happened. She didn't give me a chance"

  "Let her figure it out on her own, if she needs to be with someone new to realize she made a mistake than that's how it'll be. For now try to be nice to them, you weren't very nice last time you two talked"

"I was so angry. Now I'm just hurt"

"I know, you love her and that's ok. Just let her be for now, protect her from afar"

I got ready even though that conversation kept replaying in my head. I put my hair in a high bun, I wore a white sweatshirt with a jean jacket over it. Black leggings, and a pair of yellow sneakers, to represent Cedric on our date. He might find it silly, and it kind of is but a splash of yellow never hurt any Gryffindor
I realized,after looking in my mirror, that I dressed completely opposite of what Fred likes
He likes my hair down
He likes me in red
His least favorite color is yellow

I said goodbye to Hermione who was studying in the common room, no clue where Ron and Harry ran off to so early but I'm sure she prefers to be alone, no one will bother her studying that way or beg her to do their homework

I walked out of the common room, and found Cedric waiting for me

"You look stunning and I love the yellow" he said winking at me

I smiled "thank you I thought you might" I took his hand that he extended to me and walked with him to the carriages that bring students to Hogsmeade

We went with a small group of his Hufflepuff friends, who all happened to be on the quidditch team as well

The group of us talked about quidditch on our short trip there, it seems like most of the team is filled with males, unlike ours which is equally female and males

"Where do you wanna stop first?" Cedric asked rubbing my hands to keep them warm

"Three broomsticks?"

He nodded and when the carriage stopped, he lent me his hand to help bring me off the carriage
He said goodbye to his friends and we hand in hand walked to the three broomsticks to get some warm butterbeer

When we entered, he told me to find a nice secluded booth while he went and got us some drinks
I was able to find one in the corner away from the drunks and away from other students. I want to spend time with him one on one more, to see if we are compatible like I think we are.

While I was waiting for Cedric to come back, I glanced around the bar and saw the two faces I was missing this morning
Harry and Ron were trying to be sly with their hiding spot across the room but I was able to spy Ron's red hair in the crowd of people
I glared at them and they looked away, I know they're making sure I'm safe but a little privacy would have been nice. I don't even know how they knew I'd be here, though I guess I'm predictable

Thankfully Cedric came back, and sat on the same side booth as me. We talked for a little while before we got interrupted by Harry and Ron

"Hello" Cedric said

I glared at them
please don't cause a scene

"Mind if we join?" Harry asked

"I do mind" I said annoyed but they sat down anyways
Cedric smiled at them being as polite as he usually is but I glared at them still

"So what are your intentions with Electra??" Ron asked pushing out his chest and standing tall in his seat

I might die of embarrassment

"Whatever she wants us to be" he said laughing

"Well just know that if you hurt her we will be on you" Ron said and Harry nodded his head in agreement

"If you lot are done I'd like to go back to our date" I said kicking both of them under the table

"Fine but if you need us we will be here all day" Harry said

"I'm sure you will be" I said waving them off and then looking back at Cedric "I'm sorry"

"I get it, it's nice to know you are loved. I mean how could anyone not love you, you even saved my life last year"

I looked at him confused "what do you mean"

"I know you switched our names in the goblet"

I silently drank my butterbeer and looked away from him
I hoped he wouldn't find out

"And it's ok, I was annoyed at first when I heard the rumor about how you got in but I don't think I would have survived. Knowing what happened in the last round...how are you truly after that?"

"I'm dealing with it, mentally it's hard but I'm getting better. I think I'm handling it better than Harry"

"If you ever want to talk about it I'm here ok?" He said lightly rubbing his hand down my thigh

"Thank you" I said resting my head on my hand to look at him "you are really handsome"

He blushed "you are really beautiful"

We stared at each other in silence for a couple of minutes, before I gained the courage to press our lips together. He responded with a soft kiss back, and we stayed on each other's lips, neither one of us wanting to move
