Innocence

Chapter 12

CAMILLA'S POV

I blinked back tears as I sat down in class. "Are you ok?" Mione whispered to me. I nodded. DADA went quickly as I zoned out. The whole day I was just going through the motions. I sat down at dinner and watched Nate walk in with his friends. He looked so smug. I hated him. "Cam, are you sure you're ok? You have been kinda off all day." Hermione said. "I'm ok" I lied. "Did something happen with Cedric?" Ginny asked. "No, why?" I asked. "You keep looking over at the Hufflepuff table" Ginny said. "Oh" I sighed. "Whatever it is, just talk to him. I'm sure nothing happened that can't be undone." Hermione said. "I don't know, I messed up." I said. "Do you still like him?" Ginny asked. "Well yeah, but-" I started. "Good enough for me," she said standing up. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Helping" she said walking towards their table. She approached Cedric and I listened to their conversation. "Hey Ginny, whats up?" Cedric said. "What happened with Camilla?" she asked. He looked over at me and my cheeks turned scarlett and my heart raced. "Erm- oh- um, she lied to me, her brother told me something I um-" he trailed off. "So you heard one side of a story. Talk to her. Let her explain. Ok?" Ginny said. Cedric paused and nodded. Ginny walked over and Cedric followed. "Hey Cam, can we talk?" he asked. "Yeah" I said. We walked out of the hall and he led me to the quidditch pitch. We climbed up the stairs and sat on the benches. "Your brother won't interrupt us here," he said. I laughed. "So um, I'm kinda confused, Cam." he said. "I know. I'm sorry. I really wish my brother didn't say that stuff to you." I said. "Is it true? Have you... you know?" he asked. I sighed. I had to tell him. He might find out eventually and I want it to be from me and not Nate. "You don't understand Cedric. I- I didn't want to." I said. My heart was beating out of my chest. I couldn't look him in the eyes. I didn't want to see the shame or the disgust in his eyes. "I don't understand. What do you-" he started but then stopped as he understood. "Oh, you were... we're you forced?" he asked. "Yeah." I choked out. I blinked back tears for as long as I could but they fell anyway. "I'm sorry and I get it if you don't like me any-" I started but I was interrupted when he cupped my face. "Camilla, don't apologize. It wasn't your fault so don't ever apologize." he said softly. He wiped the tears from my face and looked into my eyes. "You are so amazing," he whispered. I felt the butterflies in my stomach. I leaned in and kissed him. Our lips fit together perfectly. I ran my fingers through his hair and he held me tightly. He pulled me onto his lap and I straddled him. We made out for a while and it was nice. I felt safe with him. After a while the sun went down and we started walking back. I was shaking from the cold weather and he wrapped his jacket onto me. "Thank you," I said. "No problem" he smiled back. He interlaced his hand with mine as we walked back. "What should we do about my brother?" I asked while he walked me to my dorms. "What do you mean?" he asked. "Ced, he doesn't like you. He doesn't even like me. And he definitely doesn't like us together. He will do anything to keep us apart." I said. "That's true," he said. "What do we do?" I said. "We could keep us a secret." he said. "There's an us," I asked. My heart fluttered. "Isn't there?" he said, pulling me to face him. He placed his hands on my waist and pulled me close to him. "Yes," I said, smiling at him. "I don't want to keep it a secret that you're mine, but sneaking around might be fun," he said. I laughed. "Unless we get caught and my brother kills you" I said. "Camilla, I battle a dragon in a week, if I survive that he can try to kill me all he wants" he joked. I knew he was joking but it scared me. He underestimated Nate because he had no idea what he was and what he was capable of. "Yeah yeah, don't remind me. I don't know if I can watch" I said. "I'll be ok," he reminded me. We arrived at my dorm and he kissed me one more time before I walked in. I have never been more happy.

TIME SKIP: 2 WEEKS

Cedric and I have spent every second we could sneak away together and it has been amazing. But now it was the day of the first task and I was a nervous wreck. I woke up this morning to his owl leaving me a letter. Our spot, 15 minutes. Luckily Ginny and Hermione were still asleep. I quickly got dressed for school then left them a note saying I was going to the library early and I slipped out of our room. I walked through the common room when I heard a voice. "Cam? Where are you going?" I turned to see Harry, of course. "Um, nowhere, Just to the library" I lied. He gave me a look and got up. "Ok, I'm too nervous to sleep so I'll come too." he said. I stopped and he smiled. "I knew it. Where are you actually going Cam?" he said firmly. "None of your business" I said. "Oh really, none of my business until you come back a bloody mess" he said. "Harry, seriously?!" I exclaimed. "Camilla, just be careful" he said. "I'll be fine" I said and I slipped out the portrait. I ran all the way to the quidditch pitch. I saw Cedric standing there in his school uniform. His face lit up when he saw me. I jumped into his arms and kissed him. I held him tight and kissed him hard. "Hey darling how are-" he stopped mid sentence. His eyes looked out past me. "Shit" he said. "What?" I asked, turning around. Then I saw him. Harry. He followed me. Harry turned to walk away.  "He saw us." Cedric said. "I know, let me talk to him. Wait here." I said. He nodded and I chased after Harry. "Harry Wait!" I yelled and grabbed his shoulder. His face was red. "What you saw- I can't- You can't-" I stammered. "Cam, stop. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have followed you. I was just worried." he said. "My brother can't know. That's why it's a secret. Please don't say anything." I pleaded. "Of course, I swear," he said. "Thanks," I said. "I'm happy for you" he said and I gave him a quick hug. I ran back over to Cedric and kissed him. "We're good, he won't say anything." I said. "Good" Cedric said he led me to our little spot inside the tent at the quidditch benches. He sat down and I laid my head on his chest. "I'm scared for you Ced" I said. "I know," he said. He stroked my hair and it helped me relax. "I got you something," he said and I sat up. He held out a small yellow satin box with a bow on it. I opened it and it was a red and yellow pendant necklace. "Our house colors" I said smiling and he nodded. "Let me put it on for you." he said. I titled my neck to the side and he moved my hair. He pulled the necklace on and kissed the crook of my neck gently. I felt his lips on my neck again and again as he left soft love bites. I turned around to face him and we kissed. He slipped his tongue inside my mouth. His hands roamed my body and they cupped my breasts gently. I moaned softly into his mouth as I felt the heat between my legs. I laid down on the soft earth and pulled him down on top of me. He kissed down my neck and to my collar and I began to undo the buttons on his shirt and he did the same for me. He kissed down my chest and on my breasts. I ran my hands down his chest and felt his defined abs. His fingers found their way to my waistband of my skirt and he paused. "May I?" he said quietly. "Yes please" I whispered. "You're safe, do you trust me?" he asked. "I trust you," I said. His fingers found my clit and he teased it. I moaned and I felt him get hard between my legs. He moved my underwear to the side and dipped a finger into my wetness. "See how wet you are for me darling, it's precious" he whispered. He slipped his fingers deep inside me and I let out a moan. I grabbed his shoulders as he pumped his fingers in and out of me hitting my g spot every time. I felt a coil in my core start to unravel. "I'm close," I whispered. "Cum for me darling" he said and I did. He kissed me as I tried to catch my breath. "That was amazing," I said. He smirked at me. "I won't die today just so I can show you what real love is like" he said. He helped me get dressed and cleaned up and then we snuck into the castle. Now time for the task and I don't think I can watch.
