I'm In Love With Cedric Diggory ~ Cedric X Reader

The Dragon Tournament.

I awaken early in the morning for Charlie's first Tri-Wizard Trial, she was already up dressed in her black and yellow Hufflepuff jersey.

"How you feeling Charles (her nickname)" I ask changing out of my pjs

"I'm nervous (Y/N) but I'm ready" she softly smiled at me, "can you please help me with my hair" she ask passing me her sliver hair brush, I sit on the foot of her bed and brush her brown wavy hair evenly dividing it in to 3 parts, after neatly plaiting her dark hair she replaces her glasses on her soft face.

"You look stunning as always," I chime "you'll do great out there" I finish pulling her into a bear hug.

Our moment between friends was interrupted by a quiet knock at the dorm's door, it slowly opens and Professor Sprout pokes her head in

"Sorry dears, I've just came to collect Charlie to go over the rules and safely measures for the tournament." She states in an almost whisper. I let go of Charlie and see her out wishing her luck once more.
Back in the dorm room I put on my worn brown boots and Hufflepuff scarf, I tie my (hair colour) hair up and make my was quickly to where the trial is being held to catch Charlie and Cedric before they start.

I speed walk to the champion's tent, pulling the curtains open to enter when I smack into a tall figure.
"Ow, shit" I mutter under my breath "oh Merlin, I'm so sorry." I scramble trying not to fall backwards.

"Merlin (Y/N), is this really going to be the way you greet me every time we meet" Cedric jokes pulling me forward

"I must be cursed Cedric" I suggest feeling my cheeks turn red from embarrassment " I did promise to see you before the trial" I whisper so only Cedric could hear

"Thank you (Y/N)" Cedric whisper back into my ear, the warmth of his breath brushes my earlobe sending chills down my spine, a flash of a camera catches us both off guard.

"Oh young love," Rita Skeeter interrupted "the young Cedric Diggory snuggling up with a female classmate before his trial of facing a dragon" she continued to her magical paper and quill,
"You are not welcome here" threatened Vikor Krum "this tent is only for champions and friends"
Rita Skeeter flipped her hair and walked away leaving the tent. Charlie enter from one of the many rooms, she rushes towards me tackling me into a hug.

"You made it" she sighs.
"I wouldn't miss it" I replie squeezing her tight, as Cedric watches with a smile. "Good luck both you" I smile widely looking back and forth between Cedric and Charlie

"Miss (Y/L/N), what are you doing here?" Dumbledore asks looking at the three of us.

"Sorry, I was just leaving" I finish swiftly while exiting the tent.

On the grandstand I wait with some friends from charms class.
"Did you wish Charles luck before the trial?" Kaitlyn asked brushing her long brown hair off her face.

"Yeah I did multiple times" I giggled back to the Gryffindor.

"And what about Cedric?" Saffron teased doing a kiss face.

"Shut up" I joke lightly pushing the cunning Slytherin. The trial starts with a a sound of a horn Charlie enter and the Dragon she will facing is released, the Hebridean Black, a midnight black dragon with piercing purple eyes. Charlie manages to sneak her way through the rocky arena, she quickly makes her way to the golden egg when she slips on a loose rock, she quickly stands with a medium gash in her knee,  I watch in shock, reasling my tensed body when she grabs the egg and holds it close to her small body. The horns sounds once again and the dragon is quickly placed back into it's spacious cage and a nurse comes and helps Charlie out of the arena.

Emma a blonde Slytherin and a fellow Hufflepuff Sienna grab onto my shoulder and swing me side to side to cheer for our friend.

"She was amazing" Sienna said brushing her curly blonde hair out of her hazel eyes.
"I knew she would" I said waving her Hufflepuff flag for her.
"We are going to try and see her, you care to join?" Emma asks looking back at me,
"I'll join when Cedric finishes" I say shyly, the group of 4 friends smile knowingly and skip off.

The horns sound once again and this time Cedric steps out into the arena.
"Welcome Cedric Diggory, facing the Swedish Short Snout" Dumbledore booms over the magical speakers.
Cedric creeps out into the open in his tight black and yellow jersey. The dragon catches a glimpse of him and storms forward after him. Cedric ducks behind a nearby giant rock, trying not to alert the dragon. He pulls out his wand and casts a simple turning a rock into a golden-retriever charm that we learnt in Transfiguration class last year.
The dog catches the attention of the green dragon, giving Cedric the opportunity to grab the golden egg.
Cedric grabs the egg and holds in high, everyone cheers for the handsome Hufflepuff enlarging his ego enough for him to forget that the Swedish Short Snout is still in the arena with him. The dragon lose interest in the fake dog and charges at Cedric giving him no time to jump out of the way of the on coming flames.

"Cedric!" I yell out in horror, the crowd stand in shock as the professors and dragon owners take action, but it's to late half of Cedric's body was hit by the dragon's flames. I jump up and make my way to the champion's tent as they remove Cedric from the arena.
I bust into the tent and look around, the nurses have quickly moved Cedric into the near by medbay to treat him.

"Charlie!" I call out to my best friend, she stands with her knee bandaged in a large group of students.
"What happened out there (Y/N)?" Charlie asked looking over to the medbay.
"Cedric got burnt by the Swedish Short Snout" I exhaled deeply pulling my friend into a hug. During out moment the nurses leave the medbay,
"Excuse me can we see Cedric?" Charlie ask the head nurse,
"Go ahead sweety" the nurse softly replied. Charlie pushes me to the medbay opening,
"Go, go" she softly whispers gesturing me to go in, "You two should talk alone for a little" she winked. I smile grateful for my best friend and turn and enter the small room, Cedric lies on a small brown bed, his fresh burns covered in a chunky green paste.

"(Y/N)" He sighs deeply like he just took his first breath of air since the accident "I must look like a total fool" he chuckles quietly.
"Don't say that, you don't know maybe I like my men with a few battle scars" I joke sitting on a small chair close to him, "is it really painful?" I ask looking into Cedric's grey eyes.
"Only a little bit" he smirks "but you know there is something that will make me feel better"
"What?" I ask confused
"A kiss" he whispers jokingly, leaning close to brushs a couple of loose hair behind my ear with his unburned hand, his intent was to tease me, but I wasn't going to let him win, I hold his hand in mine and bring it close to my lips, before they could touch I pull him forward, now his face was right in front of mine, without a second thought I press my soft lip against his rosy cheek giving him a small peck. He looks at me in shock and I laugh at his silly expression, I win I thought to myself. But without a second to spare Cedric press his lips against mine with a smirk.
"I win." Cedric whispers continuing kissing me gently.
