Rumors

𝘿𝙞𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧? 𝘿𝙞𝙜𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙙!

The next day.
As soon as we enter the Great Hall, all eyes are on Draco and me, I shiver, and he presses my hand.

„What happened?" he asks Blaise, and Blaise whispers: „It's something about...the champions." Draco sits down, and I turn around, making my way to the Hufflepuff table.

We can't have dinner together, the hall is too crowded in the evenings.

I take my seat and try to be invisible, but still, everyone is looking at me. Why? I'm not a school  champion or something.

Or...did someone hear us? Yesterday? Draco and me?

We were loud enough, I guess.

„What is going on?" I turn around and ask a blonde Gryyfindor- girl sitting next to me, she must be 1 or 2 years younger than me.

„Didn't you hear? Diggory got exposed!" she giggles and starts talking to her friends again, I raise an eyebrow, confused. Diggory? Cedric?

I try to look at Cedric, still following my invisibility- tactic, and I notice his fluffy brown hair next to Polly's, it's just them, not the whole crowd like in the past days.

He just sits there, eating, like usually, but the tension around him is almost visible.
Everyone around him is whispering, no one talks to him, there are even two empty seats on his left side.

Weird. Cedric is never alone.

We continue eating, I barely talk to anyone.

The atmosphere is so, so uncomforting, basically everyone is nervous, and I still don't know why.
Wait- Adrien isn't sitting next to Cedric and Polly. Where is he? Cedric and Adrien used to be best friends!

It's none of my business anyways.
Polly and I used to be good friends too.

After the meal, I try to get up as fast a possible, making my way to Draco again, trying to catch him before he disappears. (He's kinda good at That. Sometimes he's just gone- idk how he does that)

„Draco! Wait!" I shout, but he left already. Mhm. Maybe he needs to study since...we didn't do that yesterday.

But maybe that's a sign. Maybe I should find out what's going on.

And who else should I ask if not Cho?
She knows all the gossip.

I almost run up to the Ravenclaw table, hoping she's still sitting there.

„Cho!" I grab her shoulders from behind, she turns around, more shocked than surprised.
„Y/n!" she gives me a soft smile, but I can instantly see it's forced, and she doesn't mean it.

„Are you down for a Walk with me?" I ask, and she gets up. „Always!" I take her hand and we Walk out of the hall, as soon as we're in the yard, I start whispering. We don't know who's listening, do we?

„What is going on with Cedric?" I ask straight forward, and Cho chuckles. „Could be my fault, probably." she holds back a giggle and I look her in the eyes, surprised.

„Wait, what?" I raise an eyebrow, and she begins to explain. „Well, uhm...since you and Cedric aren't friends anymore, god knows the reason..." she makes huge gestures with her hands, and I blush with the last sentence.

„I decided to finally give him...payback." I can see how she's proud of what she did.

That's not shy, innocent Cho, is it?
„And...what did you do? Must be a big deal."

Cho can't hold her laughing back anymore. „I just spoiled the truth...And the fucking FACT that Cedric never- never! was brave enough to fuck me while our 6 month- relationship!"

What?
No.
No she didn't.

„YOU DID WHAT?" I yell, stopping to walk.

„I mean- he made me a loner. He took my whole friend group, and he broke my heart because of..." she suddenly stops talking. Is that a tear in her eye?

„Hey. Hey, don't cry, okay? You don't have to tell me why." I pull her into a hug, but my heartrate is still up, I'm sweating and my palm are tingling.

Everyone is joking about Cedric being a Virgin?
What it he wants to proof them wrong?

That would hand the problem over to me, because if Cedric tells everyone what happened in between us, I loose my boyfriend, the Slytherins will hate me and the whole school will make fun of me.

There's only one way. I need to talk to him.

„Cho, I need to tell you something." I notice how I'm blushing, and I'm so nervous at this point, I could literally get a heart attack.
