Caught in the act.

I was sitting in the stands waiting anxiously for Cedric to emerge from the maze. Waiting. It was a scary thing. You never know what your waiting for. You could expect to see the boy you loved but get something totally different. Just then, Harry emerged with Cedric holding the cup. The stress was relieved and I applauded in excitement. Then I stopped. He wasn't moving. I panicked and ran towards him breathing heavily. Tears forming in my eyes.

"Y/N are you okay?" I heard a sweet voice ask as I bolted straight up. Drenched in sweat, heart racing and tear in my eyes. I exhaled letting my tears run down my face and begin sobbing. Hannah came over and sat next to me rubbing my back and pulling me into her embrace. "Shhh it's okay, you're safe. What happened?" She said soothingly. "He- dead- t-the tourn-nament-" I struggled to say through my uneven breathing. "Dead? Y/N who are you- oh. Cedric." She said sounding a little hurt. "He's still alive. He's okay." She said monotone. I began to steady my breathing and stop the hot tears that trailed my cheeks. "I'm sorry, probably don't wanna hear about my ex do you?" I said looking up at her. "Hey its okay, I know you still care about him and that's okay, I just- I hope you care about me too." She replied with a sigh. I gave her a quick peck on the cheek. "Of course I care about you."

Walking towards the great hall I felt my stomach drop. I knew he was in there. He was gonna see me. I took a deep breath and walked in darting right towards the Gryffindor table. "Y/N what are you doing here? You're supposed to sit at the Hufflepuff table." Hermoine said confused. "I know, I just couldn't sit near him. not today at least." I said and she smiled sincerely. "Hey Harry, Hi Ron." I greeted them sharing a quick smile. I was never as close with Harry or Ron. I always stuck up for Hermione when Malfoy called her a mudblood. I looked up at the Hufflepuff table and saw him. He stared at me with bloodshot eyes. He looked like he had a rough night. I don't blame him. I had a hard night too. "Stop looking at him, It's only gonna me it worse." Harry said nudging me. I nodded my head at him and took one last glance before turning to Mione and trying to distract myself. "I should probably head to class." I said getting up from the table hugging Hermione and ruffling the boys hair that desperately needed a cut. I walked towards the dungeon getting ready for Snape's moody lectures. I entered the classroom and was surprised that I was one of the first ones to join the class. "Good morning Miss Y/L/N" Snape greeted in his monotone voice. I smiled and took a seat next to the twins. "How are you doing?" George asked wrapping his arm around me. I shrugged my shoulders not exactly knowing what to say. "I need more than a shrug." He laughed. "Well let's say some stuff went down. I'll tell you guys after classes are over. Meet me at the black lake." I said to them both.   "Alright class, today we are going to go over the steps to brewing Amortentia. Amortentia is a love potion that can cause anyone to fall in love. Now one thing you must understand is that the "love" caused by Amortentia is not real. It causes the victim to be put into a trance. If someone were to smell the potion, It would smell of things they love more specifically what or who they love. Now take out your textbooks and turn to page 279." The next hour and a half was very boring. It wasn't exactly as interesting as it sounded when he was explaining it.

Walking to the black lake I noticed there was something already there. But it wasn't the familiar red heads I was expecting. As I got closer it became more clear it was someone I wasn't exactly dying to see. "Cedric? What are you doing here?" I asked stopping in my tracks. "Y/N can we talk maybe, please?" He asked looking very overwhelmed. "Yeah, um what is it?" I said sitting down on a rock. "I know I hurt you, I don't know what I was thinking. I don't even like her she just had this magnetic field that pulled me in and I was stuck on her. But I called it off. I told her I didn't want to see her anymore. I called it off because I love you." He said pacing back and forth in front of me. "Cedric-" I began but was cut off with him beginning to speak again. "I know I know it doesn't seem like I love you. But I do. I can't stop thinking about you. You're stuck in my mind and I can't seem to get you out of it." He said sitting down next to me. "You hurt me Cedric. You really did. I don't doubt that you love me. But i'm a little wary that you might hurt me again." I said looking at him with sorrow. "I'm gonna sound really cheesy here but you are the one for me. If I don't have you then I might as well not even be on this planet. You are what keeps me going. The tournament champions will be announced tonight and I can't imagine going through this without you by my side." He said beginning to cry. "Ced don't cry. Even when we are fighting I still think about you. Last night, I had a dream that I lost you. You died in the tournament and I woke up Crying. It physically hurts to think about losing you. I don't want to lose you. I still love you Ced. I'm just scared. I don't wanna hurt." I said tearing up. Just then he grabbed my face and pulled me in quickly smashing his soft lips into mine. I immediately kissed him back, grabbing the back of his head and intertwining my fingers in his hair. He pulled away quickly to whisper into my ear. "I love you." I could feel my cheeks turn red and I connected our lips once again. "Y/N?" I heard a girl say I pulled away and looked over to se Hannah with her friends. Her standing looking like she had just seen a murder. Her friends trying to pull her away. "Hannah wait I can explain!" I said standing up and walking towards her. "Dont. Please just leave me alone." She said running off towards the castle, her friends following close behind. "What was that about?" Cedric asked. "I think we should talk." I said taking his hand in mine and pulling him towards the castle. "Where are we going?" He asked. "Your room. It's the only place we can get some privacy around here." I replied with a annoyed tone in my voice. I was nervous. He had just confessed his love for me and apologized his heart out for what he did. What if he is upset. Did I mess up? I mean we weren't together when I kissed her. He has no reason to be mad. We finally reached his dorm and I closed the door behind us, scared for the conversation ahead of us.
