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

Chapter 7.

Holy shit here I go...
After a firm primping alongside Hermione and Ginny, Alice made her way down to the courtyard at 10:05; fashionably late. She wanted to make sure she was not viewed as Cedric's little bitch even though there's no way he'd ever have that idea. She also did not want the awkward appearance sneaking out if he was to do so at the exact same time... she really thought it through.

Sneaking out of the dorm was easy with the secret exits generations of Slytherin rebels discovered and conquered without a trace. Her step wobbled slightly. Surprisingly enough Alice did not try to act intimidating, but graceful. Her hair bounced ever so slightly with the delightful skip in her step. She also decided to retire the resting bitch face and try for a smile, because even though she wouldn't admit it... she's been waiting for this for a while.

Alice approached the entrance of the courtyard, pouring rain as expected, and lit by moonlight. There he was, twiddling his thumbs like a dork sitting in the rain on a concrete bench waiting for her arrival.

"You know you could have waited anywhere else!" Alice screams at him, still undercover into the noisy abyss. What a dumbass.

"Yeah but I like the rain too." He loudly reply's.

"Do you even?" She crosses her arms as she enters the courtyard. "Or are you just trying to impress me, Cedric."

"Wow Alice chill out, you don't need to ask dumb ads you already know that's what I'm doing." Cedric laughs while springing from his seat to meet her in the middle.

His dirty blonde hair was darkened to a solid brown, constantly dripping down his eyes, cheeks, and lips. Two distinct pieces curled by his ears ever so beautifully and casually. His black crew neck sweater, completely covered in rain. His pants, also soaked. His smile, the exact same as always.

Alice's hair started to darken and fall in volume as well. The turtle neck was accessorized by some heavily droplets of rain, and her mascara starting to fail on her. She merely focused on the rain on Cedric's face above her, how it diligently made its way down to his lips every time.

The atmosphere was so intense yet completely calm. The dead of night brought little light to the situation, and the act of everyone being asleep brought peace. Yet the banging of rain on the pavement was so incredibly loud that Cedric and Alice couldn't hear each other without speaking loudly.

"I've never met someone who'd wait in the pouring rain for me." Alice smiles, whilst talking uncomfortably loud to compensate the noise.

"Why? Never someone so, dumb." He grins, confidently and ever so slowly grabbing her waist.

"Well are we just going to stand here and... look at each other?" Alice asks, not in her usual bratty tone, but light and fun.

"Let's play a game."

"Wait can we get out of the rain first?" Alice asks.

"But it's your favorite." He answers.

"Okay I may have been exaggerating-"

"No. The rain's what makes it fun."

"You don't even like it Cedric come on!" Alice begs in a soft and innocent nature. "Well what's the game."

He slides his hands off her hips and speaks into her ear, "first to the astronomy tower wins." He slowly backs up while tilting his head.

"You son of a bitch!" Sue starting running forward while Cedric turns around and sprints in the same direction but a few steps ahead. The two weave their way into the corridors near the courtyard, back and forth around pillars to the entrance. Cedric books it past the front courtyard all the way down to the grass at the foot of the school, with Alice pacing behind. They both are hysterically laughing as Cedric , in his first step on the wet grass, slips forward and falls completely on his face.

"HAHAHHA!!" Alice screams swiftly passing him to place her hand on the cold stone of the base of the astronomy tower. He slowly makes his way out of the mud, attending to wipe it off with zero turnout. "Sore loser awwwww. Sorry I won Cedric steady wins the race."

He makes his way over to Alice as grabs her jean jacket and with his body weight pulls her down into the grass alongside him. He puts his right hand on her hip, and left to prop him up on top of her. "Sore loser huh."

Alice starts laughing, "obviously very much so!" She grabs his hair with her left hand and drags him down to the floor level, now placing herself on top of him. She tilted her head slightly to the right, and her whole head of hair fell to the same side. "If you want to play dirty I'm going to play dirty my friend."

"Friend!"

"Fine sorry! My bitch! Hell yeah Ced sorry to break it to you but I fucking won and you're my bitch now." She boops his nose at every syllable. Cedric releases the tenseness and falls down in defeat.

"Fine I'll be your bitch." Cedric pouts his lips and eyes looking away and breaking eye contact.

"Don't act like you don't like it."

"True, I love my title." From underneath he braces her chin and pulls her in, locking their dripping, wants lips together when everything else around them was painfully cold.

Alice pulls away with a smile. "Returning the favor, huh."

"Shut up and let my kiss you-" With both hands her grabs both side of her head by her and intensely starts to continue that passionate make out he started. The black and silver rings in his thick, yet boney fingers occasionally got caught in strands of her tangly wet locks.

Again Alice pulls away, now with Cedric's hands still gradually intertwined with her hair, "I'm cold."

Cedric uses his strength to stand up, placing his hands under her arms to bring her up with him. "On to the astronomy tower!" He points upward before putting his arms around her shoulder and kissing her playfully on the top of the head...
