The Good Boy Who Slithered In | Cedric Diggory x A Slytherin

Chapter 6.

Quidditch practice was a huge blur. Alice could not remember a single drill she did or play the team drafted because her thoughts were invested in the obvious secondary topic at hand. 

*butterflies* What have I gotten myself into *even more butterflies*

The envisionment of her potential future courtyard adventure was all she could think about. She couldn't find a reason not to be excited. At the same time she couldn't pinpoint a reason for liking him in the first place; except for the rocking bod and gorgeous face-... well she found some reasons.

She sat straddling her broom high up observing practice, but not really paying attention. The rest of the Slytherin team predicted she'd be a bit... off... after the breakfast fiasco. Cedric would constantly look up to see what the hell she was up to, and when he'd see her zoning out he couldn't help but smile. Draco would similarly glance at her every once in a while and simply laugh because he thought she must have gone mad.

"Are you going to sleep there too Easton?" Draco shouted upwards as the rest of the team made there way down to the ground to pack up.

"I'm sorry-" she looks down at him, "oh shit yeah sorry."

"Sorry?" He turns around doing starts going down, "what the fuck is up with you today?"

Alice slowing flew down from the air to her stray bag, and quickly preformed a power walk past all her teammates out of the pitch with a huge grin on her face, including Cedric of course.

"She's fucking odd dude," Cassius Warrington, a 5th year chaser, begins while subtlety hitting Cedric's shoulder.

"What's your problem?" He replies in a defensive tone.

"Man did you see, well of course you did. Um..." he started to scratch his neck and break eye contact,  "...the breakfast scene this morning. A little strange don't you think."

"I mean I quite liked it," he starts to put on his shoes while the surrounding teammates gasped. "I don't know if it was fun to watch but-"

"Damn Diggory!" Goyle blubbers. The crowd laughs along with Cedric who also starts to get red. Various guys start to hit him on the shoulder in approval.

"Well I gotta run, see you all later." He finishes with a smile that continues for the rest of the evening.

💚

Without a blink of an eye Alice managed to locate Hermione and Ginny to fill them in on the crazy new Cedric situation. Hermione was incredibly invested and begged her to meet him. Like I wasn't obviously going to. And Ginny also begged along with starting to plan her outfit for the endeavor.

"Not yellow you dipshit it clashes with her hair!" Ginny yells at Hermione as she holds up a mustard yellow sweater. Both Ginny and Alice sit on Alice's bed as Hermione looks through her clothes.

"Right." Hermione scrambles through her wardrobe chest, "I can't find anything else all your clothes are so messy!"

"Oh my god let me look." Alice sighs, very used to Hermione's perfectionist standards.

She goes in her knees in front of the chest and puts her hair into a low bun. "Ummm... how about the green turtleneck and the black pants? Can't go wrong right."

"Yes definitely but add the denim jacket!" Ginny adds.

"Smart." Alice notes. "Why am i nervoussss?" She sits down in between her friends on the bed.

Ginny grabs her hands, "You are going to do great like you're hot and you know it."

"And he clearly thinks you are fun to be around." Hermione assures.

"Guys.. do I even like him?" Alice questions while Hermione and Ginny groan and stand up in front of her . "What!"

Hermione grabs Alice's shoulders, "it doesn't matter! It's Cedric Diggory. You go on the date." Alice nods.

💚

"Wait when??" Ron spews while shockingly looking Alice in the eyes.

"Shhh!" Alice covers his mouth. "The man himself is," she gestures her head back in the direction of Cedric chatting with his potions table partner.

"So the kiss worked I guess."

"I guess it did Ron amazing observation." Alice rolls her eyes and shifts her shoulders forward. Ron continues to stare at her and leans against his hand for a better angle. "What the fuck are you doing?"

"Courtyard, huh." he mumbles.

"Way to use your listening ears dumbass. Correct."

"I wonder what you guys are gonna.. do." Ron grinned.

"Yeah Ron in the fucking courtyard! What a memorable first time."

"I did not need to hear that." Ron adds.

"Give me a break."

Cedric's conversation begins to fade as he focuses his attention at the red hair of Alice in front of him. Without a shrug he taps her on the left shoulder.

"We still on for tonight?" He asks.

"I don't know why we wouldn't-" he interrupts with an obnoxious laugh.

"Funny, okay sweet. Just making sure." He blurts.

Alice turns her whole body around to face him and puts her elbow on his table, resting her chin in her palm. "You know it's supposed to rain tonight."

"Oh shit should we-"

"No," she interrupts, placing her index finger over his lips. "Rain is my absolute favorite." She removing his finger by sliding in down his lower lip and briskly turning around. Cedric's mouth remained open as Alice powerfully sat forward in her seat, crossing one leg over the other.

Well that was hot.
