Chapter 18- The Halloween Party

"Talk to me!" I yell at Cedric. We're in the street of Hogsmeade, both if our faces flushed from the cold November wind.

"Why should I!? I don't know anything about you!" He says. I stand there for a moment.

"I don't owe you that!" I dig my nails into my palms.

"Yeah, cause you have Malfoy to talk to! I'm starting to think what people have said about you was true!" His voice becomes raspy.

"Oh fuck off! You're so stupid, you know that?" I raise my voice even louder.

"You're a bitch." He backs away from me.

"Oh, how mature." I roll my eyes.

"Oh I know, it's so hard to be you, Cedric. To have everyone think that you're fun and beautiful. To have everyone like you so much."

"You don't know me." He says harshly.

"Thank fucking god for that."

I turn and walk away until I reach behind the three broomsticks. Tears streaming down my face, I sit on a rock and pull my scarf tighter. I don't even remember where this started. What did I say? Why do I have to ruin everything? Everyone saw. I really am like my mom.

"Y/n?" I hear a voice behind me.

"If you feel like telling me about how horrible I am, fuck off."

"Sorry. I just - I saw what happened back there." I turn around.

"Oh. Hey Neville. I'm sorry for going off on you like that." I pat next to me and he sits.

"Is everything ok?" Neville asks.

"Can we just sit. I don't want to talk about it."

Later That Night

I put on my sluttiest halloween costume. Tights, lingerie and animal ears. I walk around the Gryffindor party trying to find somewhere or somone with strong liquor.

"Hey! Y/n! Come play spin the bottle with us!" Fred hollers to me.

I nod, I'll do anything to get Cedric off my mind. I sit down and rest my head in my hand. I feel eyes burning on me and look across from where I'm sitting. Cedric is staring at me, his eyebrows furrowed. I quickly look away. Fred claps and we all look at him.

"Ok! Each if you sluts will get a shot of truth serum! Someone spins the empty potion bottle and the unfortunate pair must go into the closet. For seven minutes. They can ask questions or do other things. The rest of us will play truth or dare until they come out." We nod.

"One! Two! Three!" George counts and we all take a shot. The water like liquid pours down my throat.

"Ok! Who would like to go first? How about y/n?" Fred asks. I look up and glare at him. I spin the bottle and guess who it lands on. Cedric. He looks at me blankly and we both silently walk into the closet. There was no coats or anything and it was decently big. We stare at each other.

"Do you like my costume?" I clear my throat and ask.

"No." He's still looking into my eyes.

"Why not?" I keep my stance still.

"I'm the only one who should get to see you like this." He steps even closer to me and traces the side of my face.

"What do you mean, like this?" I ask, trying not to smile.

"Like the girl I want more than anyone else in the world." He smirks.

He presses me up against the wall of the closet. He starts kissing my neck and chest, running his fingers under my hair.

He kisses me and bites down on my bottom lip. The taste of salty blood fills my mouth. His arms wrap around my waist and he pulls me even closer.

The door swings open and Fred is standing in the door way, smiling. I notice my lip stick is smeared and one of the straps of my body suit had dropped. I adjust my costume and we both sit down in the circle. Fred claps.

"My turn!" He spins the bottle and it lands on Angelina, a fourth year on the Gryffindor quidditch team. They glance at each other and practically run into the closet.

"Ok, my turn to spin." George spins and it lands on Leo. George points to him.

"Truth or dare?" George says, in his scary voice.

"Dare." Leo leans back, confidently.

"Kiss the girl who you most fancy in this circle. Notice how I said girl because, you know that I would smoke all you bitches." Just as I start laughing Leo plants one right on my lips.

"What. The. Fuck." George says in disbelief. Leo's eyes are wide and he gets up, almost falling as he leaves to circle.

"What just happened?" Cedric asks.

"I have no idea." I watch as he runs out into the hall way.

"Well, that's awkward." Ginny says. Fred and Angelina stumble out of the closet, hickeys on each other's necks.

"Hey are you guys playing spin the bottle?" Hermione asks as her, Ron and Harry walk over.

"I'm kinda bored asking questions so, sure!"

Once the party died down Cedric asked me to go to his room with him. We get to the Hufflepuff common room and then his dorm. He sits on the bed and I lean on the door.

"Are you still mad at me?" I ask, taking off my headband.

"Yes. But that doesn't change what I feel right now."

Sorry this chapter is chaotic but it's been one of my favorites so far. I also hope you noticed the perks of being a wallflower reference 😏
