Harry Potter One Shots :)

7. The Next Rita Skeeter *cedric*

Background: your in 7th year a year after Goblet of Fire. They redo the tournament next year because there was two winners (Cedric and Harry// they split the money//)  in the last one. This is nothing like the books or movies are for the sixth book. Oh and Umbridge doesn't exist. 😊

Warning: one or two cuss words I think, oh it's also a long one

Your POV

He was coming! Your best friend, Victor, was coming back for the tournament this year. Though he had aged out, he came as the part time quidditch coach for his school Dumstrang. He was only nineteen but he could play quidditch better than anyone.

You and him had gotten close at the tournament last year when your other best friend Cedric had started ignoring you. Victor figured out you like Cedric, but Cedric was being an asshole all tournament.

He had taken Cho to the Yule Ball and not you, it would've been fine if he hadn't been promising since you were eleven he was going to take you to the Ball. So Victor had told you he wasn't worth it and slowly you began to believe him. Now Cedric wouldn't even look at you.

The whole school gathered in the great hall to await the arrival of the other schools. This year Dumstrang, Ilvermorny, Beauxbatons, and Castelobruxo (central Brazil school) we're coming to the tournament, so it was gonna be the biggest ever and that's why it was held at Hogwarts.

As the doors busted open all the schools pilled in. The last school to come in made a grand entrance, and of course it was Dumstrang they lit stuff on fire and and wind came out of nowhere ruffling their clothes. Victor turned and winked at you, you smiled. You may have liked Cedric, but you knew Victor liked you. You felt bad having someone right in front of you who likes you, but not bad enough to like him back.

When the ceremony was over you ran over to Victor and hugged him he picked you up.

"How's Hogwarts Queen?" He put you down and smiled at you.

"Fine now that you're here, it's been awful leading up though..." you muttered the last part, your smile faltering.

"Cedric?" He asked visibly annoyed but trying to be sympathetic.

"What? It's not like I can control my feelings. It's even worse cause he dumped Cho but still ignores me." You looked at him. He sighed.

"I told you to forget him." You opened your mouth to stop him, but he interrupted you. "But I know how much you like him. So while I'm here we are going to execute plan: Cedric's new lover. A plan for you and him to get together, I will write your love story."

He looked at you determined. You laughed. You knew there was no convincing him otherwise.

"Fine. Let's go Rita Skeeter." You grabbed his arm and ran to the Slytherin common room ( that's where he's staying).

Cedric's POV

Ok yeah Cedric kinda shunned you, but he still loved you. You never knew cause he didn't tell you before you ran off with that Russian quidditch star. That was part of the reason he ignored you, because you had Victor.

He honestly had forgotten about the promise he made about the Yule Ball . He remembered though, when Hannah Abbott (one of your friends) reminded him. He was crushed, he realized you would probably hate him now.

So he decided to not make it worse and try to re-build your friendship. When he had almost died in the maze, all he thought about was you. When he got back though, he saw you consoling Victor because he hadn't won. So that was the end of you and his friendship in his mind, you had moved on it was time he did too.
