GOTCHA!

Buried

Fred had been weird this last week or so. After the insane accusation he threw at Cedric about spiking my drinks he seemed almost defeated. I can't believe he thought I would believe such a blatant and wild lie. Cedric loves me more than anything and I love him more than anything. We're just happy in love. I wish Fred would just realize that.

"What you thinking about?" Cedric whispered.

"Fred." He raised his eyebrows. "I mean that whole potion spiking thing. How he said you were giving me a love potion. It was just so weird. Fred isn't usually a liar. I don't know why he would say that."

"Desperation. Fred is so desperate to win you back he'll do anything. He'll lie and cheat. It's very sad and disgusting. This is why I worried about you being friends with him. He's obsessed with you."

"I think he just really loves me and misses me."

"Do you miss him?"

"N-no. I mean he's always around. It's hard to miss him. I just want him to be happy, you know? He's still my best friend and I care deeply about him."

"Not more than you care about me right?" Cedric questioned.

"Of course not. I care about you in a romantic way. It's platonic with him." I assured him.

"Are you sure?"

"Platonic relationships are a thing Cedric Diggory." I smiled.

"I am aware." He kissed me hard. "When are you going wedding dress shopping?"

"Next weekend. I'm going to take the girls with me since my mom can't come. Thanks for getting Dumbledore to let me go."

"Of course. Anything to make sure this wedding happens on time." He kissed me again. "We're going to get married and everything is going to be perfect."

"And then we're gonna have babies and that will be even more perfect. I think I wanna practice again."

"Let's have some water before we do. Gotta stay hydrated." Cedric handed me a cup of water and I took a drink.

Wow I love him so much.

My love for Cedric was becoming more intense. I think the closer we get to the wedding the more overwhelmed with love I feel for him. He's on my mind every hour of every day. I go mad being away from him too long. It doesn't feel right. I can't think clearly when he's not with me.

Every moment I'm not touching or kissing him or even just in his presence feels pointless and unnerving. I need him in a way I never thought I would. Being in love for real is an insane experience for sure.

"Are you okay Sin?" George asked.

I looked around nervously. Where was he? Why wasn't he here? "Um, have you seen Cedric?"

"Not since this morning." Lee shrugged.

"Oh okay." I sighed.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked.

"I don't like not knowing where he is. It makes me nervous. I want him here."

"You're a little obsessed with him, you know?" Ron asked.

"You just don't understand, Ron. The love that Cedric and I have is very intense. You'll understand when you ask Hermione to marry you."

Hermione snorted. "He'll be lucky if I let him marry me."

"Extremely lucky." Ginny agreed.

"Do you want juice?" Fred asked.

I shook my head. "No thanks. Remember, I only trust what Cedric pours me."
