The whole school knew about Cedric asking Celeste to the Yule Ball in an hour.

Hermione was the first to congratulate Celeste with a hug. At first, she expected her to go with Harry but he of course didn't ask her earlier. So she wasn't exactly sympathetic towards him when he moped about perfect Diggory taking beautiful Celeste to the Ball.

Ron tried to ask Hermione after he got rejected by Fleur. Basically using Hermione as a last resort for a date. Unfortunately, Hermione did not want to be the first choice. Instead, she accepted Viktor's offer. He had a whole speech planned out and gave her caramel chocolates.

( Which landed Viktor in her good books. Plus he was handsome and kind ).

Hermione happily said yes.

Then there was Ron, who was actually on Celeste's side, and told Harry that he should've asked when he had the chance. However, did that really mean avoiding Celeste like a plague?

Harry actually went to get advice from McGonagall on how to get Celeste to accept him for the ball. Even his head of house pitied the boy.

"Harry has been avoiding me."

Celeste sipped on her hot chocolate. Cedric being a Prefect had his perks of getting away with anything such as going to the kitchens. And she had her invisibility charm bracelet to help her if Filch decides to come here.

"I'm sure Potter's fine. He's trying to prepare for the second task." Cedric tried to cheer her up.

"Yeah, you're right . . . Maybe I'm a bit over my head. He's my best friend and lately, he's been a real jerk." Celeste commented with a sad tone.

Cedric's fists clenched at how Harry's been acting. Whenever Celeste would try to greet Harry he'd just drag Ron in a different direction.

He gave her a comforting smile and brushed her bangs away. "Enough about Potter, I'm sure he's fine. Maybe he just needs space."

The Black blushed, "Sorry . . . how have you been Cedric?" she hadn't realized that she was rambling about Harry for a while now.

"Well, I solved the second task."

"That's wonderful Ced."

She was glad that Cedric was handling the tournament fine. While Harry and Celeste have been distant toward one another, she's been spending a lot of time with Cedric.
