The Other Potter

Warnings Truth

The beginning of December brings more girls twittering around than around Valentines day. It's disgusting. Talia, who has already secured her date in Natalie Wise of Slytherin, is just as disgusted by it all as I am.

"I get not everyone has boyfriends or girlfriends so they have to basically attack the poor single boys in the school, but they could at least have some dignity about them." Talia says, squeezing between a pack of Gryffindors squealing as they get ready to pounce on someone.

"Harry's dating Luna and has already ended up in the Hospital Wing because of all this."

"Seriously?" She asks in shock.

"Yeah, it's ridiculous." I say bitterly.

"Mya!" Tommy says, running up to me breathlessly.

"What's up, Tommo?" I ask.

"It's Cedric. He's in the hospital wing. Madame Pomphrey needs you." He says. Mom's words come rushing through my head like a freight train. I take off the way I had just walked, pushing the Gryffindors aside with little care, using my elbows to get them out of my way. I skid into the hospital wing and rush up to the school healer.

"Miss Potter, I'm afraid something horrid has happened. Mr. Stokes, Miss Fletcher, I must insist that you two return to your common room."

"But-"

"Now." Madame Pomphrey says in her 'no nonsense' voice. The two leave the hospital wing leaving it just the healer, my hurt boyfriend, and me. She locks the door behind them and turns to me. "Do you know what True Love's Curse is?"

"Yes. Who slipped Cedric True Love's Curse?"

"We can't trace it until he's been woken." She says. I nod and suck in a deep breath. I look at the woman self-consciously.

"Can I have a minute?"

"Of course." Madame Pomphrey says.

Don't freak out, it's okay
'Cause true love can save the day
And I think we feel the same
But I don't know
When we met, it was sweet
He was oh so into me
Seems like things are meant to be
But I don't know

Does he love me? Or does he love me not?
Do I love him? And is it strong enough?

One kiss, one kiss
It all comes down to this
One kiss, one kiss
Ohh
One kiss, one kiss
This moment could be it
I, I, I wanna know
So here I go (go)

Keep it cool, keep it calm
Think he's loved me all along
But maybe I got it wrong
So I don't know (hey)
He's so good, got my back
But maybe I'm just too bad
Could we be a perfect match?
Now, I don't know

Does he love me? Or does he love me not?
Do I love him? And is it strong enough? Ooh-ooh-ooh

One kiss, one kiss
It all comes down to this
One kiss, one kiss
Ohh
One kiss, one kiss
This moment could be it
I, I, I wanna know
So here I go (go)
Yeah, here I go

I feel my heartbeat beating saying, "It's gonna work"
But if I'm dream-dream-dreaming, this is gonna hurt
Either I will or I won't
What if I do and he don't?
Is he my Romeo?
Oh, there's only one, one way to really know

Hey, one kiss, one kiss
It all comes down to this (one kiss)
One kiss, one kiss (one kiss)
Ohh
One kiss, one kiss
This moment could be it
I, I, I wanna know (I wanna know)
So here I go (go)

Here I go
Here I go (here I go, here I go)
Here I go

Once I finish the song I was long over due for I look at Cedric. I kiss him and take a step back. I feel my magic changing; it's not uncomfortable but it's different. Cedric gasps as his eyes open. I sit on the side of his bed and stroke his hair.
