You and I? Impossible

Shards of glass part two

"writing is the best weapon to shout, but being silent"

"The thought is destroying me, I feel like an overwhelming presence in my chest; I'm probably exaggerating, I'm afraid"

Here's what Hermione reports in her diary.
She closed it, took her things and went down to the courtyard. Shortly thereafter, Ron and Harry arrived. Harry kept staring at her: she was stronger than him, she couldn't stop.
She avoided his gaze, she didn't want to talk.
Arrived in complete silence in Hogsmead Ron, oppressed by that situation, broke the ice: - Hermione, I wanted to invite you and .... Cedric ... to the three broomsticks? In short, he ... is ... welcome! - the red was trying to be friendly with Cedric to make Hermione happy. She was about to say no as she found a dinner with Harry and his boyfriend embarrassing after what had happened, but suddenly Cedric jumped in hugging the girl and replied: - Yes Weasley, I'd love to spend time with the kids. his best friends. See you in two hours? You know what girls are like when I have to buy something.

Hermione laughed at her, slapping her boyfriend on the shoulder: - idiot, I'm just meticulous! - Her good mood came back to Hermione's mind
- Okay then, Harry? -
The raven was absorbed in her thoughts, Ron gave him a pat.
-Yes, yes, see you there.

The quartet split: in a moment that seemed to last for centuries Harry and Hermione turned to look at each other; she drew back almost immediately. Harry, urged on by Ron, followed him to Zonko.
-So my dear princess, where are we going? -
- Um, listen, before I go I should talk to you.
-Are you OK?-
-Yes.-
The two secluded themselves behind a shop.
They sat down.
Bluntly, the girl went straight to the point.
-Today we were inside the shrieking shack ..-
-Why? - Ced asked
- it had been a long time since we last visited it-
-is?-

-I have no idea why but at one point a room was collapsing and Harry and I were right there: he grabbed me ...-
-Hermione, did you kiss? -
-No! But ... here ... we went close-
Cedric stood up: - so you wanted?!? -
-I want to be as honest with you as possible because I love you, I tell you I don't know ...-
The boy tried to keep calm: - Are you confused about our relationship? -
-No, I'm afraid of losing you-
Cedric perceived anxiety in his voice: -Be calm, consider the matter closed, you're just nervous about the return of you know who-
-I'm afraid for you, for us, for Harry who risks dying at any moment ...-
Cedric interpreted this as a great friendship towards Harry, so he decided not to give weight to the incident.
-Come on, get up, so let's go buy your dress- he said smiling, holding out his hand.
She smiled, catching it on the fly.
So between laughter and sweet glances the two walked towards the shop ....
