Harry Potter Imagines

fluff- C.D

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, folding my arms and glaring angrily at my boyfriend. "Do you not think that putting your name in the Goblet of Fire; putting your life on the line like that is something you should run past your girlfriend, for merlin's sake? Or do I really mean that little to you?"

"Love, you know that wasn't it," he replies softly, moving towards me to place his hands on my, now tear stained, cheeks, but I take a step back and avoid his grasp. "I didn't think I would get chosen, so I didn't think I needed to tell you. I know you're upset with me, love, but I can't change the fact that it happened, so please don't be angry with me... please?"

"People have died in this tournament, Ced," I sighed, my initial anger being replaced with worry and distress. "How can I be certain that your fate won't be the same. How can you not realize how big of a deal this is?"

"How can you have so little faith in me?" He fired back, his voice losing all softness and being replaced, instead, with a more harsher tone; one he only ever used when our arguments got excessively heated. "I am a good wizard. I would have never put my name in the goblet if I didn't think I could win."

"Maybe you shouldn't have," I whispered under my breath, before my eyes grew wide almost instantly when I realized I had said that aloud, and that Cedric heard me clear as day. "Okay, Cedric, I didn't mean that-"

"Oh, but didn't you?" He said, interrupting me in a condescending way, which he knew annoyed the absolute hell out of me. I try to say something in response, and try to stop our argument from spiraling out control, but he beats me to it. "Merlin, Y/n, would it kill you to be supportive of me? Just this one time? I'm sorry you can't always be the centre of attention."

"And what the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

"Maybe that's why you're blowing all of this out of proportion. You're not angry at me because I put my life on the line by putting my name in the goblet. No, you're angry at me because when I put my name in, I stole the precious little limelight of little miss future-head-girl."

I couldn't believe what he was saying. I couldn't believe that he really thought all of things about me. I couldn't believe any of it, and the intensity of my disbelief was what prompted the heavy tears that gathered at the edges of my bottom eyelids. Cedric could see how upset I became, and his once angry expression, soon softened into a worried.

"I'm gonna leave, before you say anything else," I whisper, before turning around and leaving him in the corridors of Hogwarts.

"We need to talk."

His eyes grew wide. I didn't need to facing him in order to know that his eyes grew twice in size at the sound of his pissed off girlfriend. Without looking me in the eye for too long, Cedric excuses himself from the dining table and follows me out into the corridors. The same corridors this all started in.

"What the fuck is wrong with you, Cedric?!" I yell, almost as soon as the doors closed, and I was certain there was no one else standing within a listening distance. "First you put your name in the goblet of fire without telling me, and now you're taking another girl as your date to the Yule Ball. Exactly how little do I mean to you, Ced? An indication would be much appreciated."

"I- I thought when you walked away the other day that we were... well that we were over. I thought we were on a break, so I didn't realize me asking Cho was a wrong move."

"Wow," I whispered as I sighed exasperatedly. "Even after being with me for nearly four years, you still know absolutely nothing about who I am... Ced, when I walked away, it wasn't because I didn't want this... It was because I was scared that if we kept fighting that day, this wouldn't exist anymore, and I really wanted us to last, Ced... And I thought you did too."
