Pretty boy diggory ~ C. diggory

chapter 8

*Cedric's pov*

Why was she being so difficult to talk to. Did I do something? I don't think I did all I did was try and talk to her. Maybe she was just having a bad day. I should just give her some space. I mean all I wanted to do was ask her a question but she wouldn't let me.

When she snapped at me I was shocked. I've never heard her snap.

I don't know why she did I was being so nice to her. I wasn't rude like she was the first time we met.
I was getting angry just thinking about it. Why was she making me feel this way. She always knew how to get under my skin.

That night I laid in my bed thinking about Florence. What was her deal.
I had to find out why she kept pushing me away.

*Florence pov*

It had been a week since I snapped at cedric. I felt really bad. It wasn't his fault, I don't know why I did I never get that mad.

Everyone had been getting asked out for the ball. Everywhere you turned there was some one getting asked out. Or girls screaming. I hadn't found anyone to go with yet. I had been asked out by Seamus Finnegan but I politely declined.

I also got asked out by a few guys from Durmstrang. I just didn't want to go with any of them. I was waiting for someone. I don't know who but it just didn't feel right going with anyone.

I was on my way to the library to study with hermione when I bumped into a some one and dropped my books.

"Ugh great" "sorry I wasn't paying attention that's my bad". I look up to see a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. "It's ok, I should have been paying more attention to where I was walking".

He picked up my books a dusted them off. He then handed them to me and smiled. "My name's Louis, Louis DuFort"I just shook my head. I couldn't say anything I was blinded by his beauty, those eyes were like oceans.

Suddenly I was thinking about him. And his beautiful gray eyes. They were like clouds in the sky. With that tint of blue and green. In the sun is when he really shines. He looks so good when he's outside sitting on a bench. He always looks good.

"I assume you have a name as well"
"Huh, oh yeah sorry I'm Florence, Florence Jones" I said as I stuck out my hand. "Nice to meet you Florence".
His hands were soft but not as soft as his. "Well I don't want to keep you so I'll let you go" he said as he let go of my hand. "I hope to see you soon
Mrs.jones" he said as he kissed the top of my hand. The little gesture made my stomach fill with butterflies.

And with that he walked away, but not before giving me a wink. I stood there for a good 2 minutes trying to remember what I was doing before I met him.

Just then someone came up from behind me and put their hands on my waist. I jumped and pulled out of their grasp turning to face them. I was met with those beautiful gray eyes.

"Hey Jones" "hey" I said sheepishly.
He Looked so good. His hair was messy and his tie was loose around his neck. He was just in his dress shirt and brown pants. He was smiling like a dork. It was Friday so tomorrow was the hogdmead trip.

I hadn't realized how long I was staring at him till he laughed.
"You alright there Jones?" "Yeah I'm fine". Before he could say anything else I spoke "uh I have to go hermione is waiting for me" "oh, yeah of course"  he sounded sad.

I walked past him not before I said "see you later pretty boy". I heard him say what but I was already at the library.

I sat down in front of hermione and set my books and bag down.
"Where have you been, I've been waiting" "sorry got distracted" "by cedric" she said as she wiggled her eyebrows. I rolled my eyes and pulled out my work.

"You didn't answer the question"
"I need a book, you need anything?" I said as I got up trying to avoid the question.
"Florence Lee Jones, you answer me right now" she used my full name and pretty loud may I add.

I started to walk faster trying to get away from her. "Florence you can't escape me" she sounded like a killer in a horror movie. She eventually caught up to me and grabbed my hand and spun me around.
"Answer the question" "hermione we're supposed to be studying"
"C'mon flo just tell me I'm your best friend" she gave me puppy dog eyes.
How could I say no to that.

"Ugh fine I wasn't with cedric I was with a boy from Beauxbatons"
"Really I didn't know you knew anyone from there"
"I don't we just met, I was on my way here when we bumped into each other" "what's his name" "Louis DuFort". She looked at me with a smirk. "A french guy" "were not dating we just met" I said as I grabbed my book and made my way back to the table.

"Is he cute?" "I mean yeah, but we just met it's not like we're getting married" I said rolling my eyes. "You never know" she gave me a wink and sat down. She was never gonna let me forget this.

*Cedric's pov*

I was walking back to the Hufflepuff common room thinking about what Florence said.

She called me pretty boy. I tried to ask her why but she was gone before I could. I was also gonna try and ask her why she got so mad a week ago but I forgot.

I walked in the common room and walked up to my private room. Guess that's just one of the perks of being a prefect.

Just then I heard a knock on my door.
"Who is it" I call out. I had my shirt off and was looking for a tee-shirt.
"Oi, open the door" I heard my best friend James yell. "Hold on" "what are you doing in there, open the door or I will".

"Alright, alright I'm just changing". I opened the door to see James there with 5 books in his hands. "I thought we were going to figure out the egg" 
"Actually I think I may know what to do" "really what?" "I'll tell you later I have to go" and then I left James there looking confused.

I made my way to the perfects bathroom. I tapped on the bricks and a door appeared. I stepped inside and there was a gold bathtub. I turned it on and water started to pour from the faucets. I looked up to see glass containers filled with red, yellow, blue, and green liquid.

I waited till it filled up and then stopped the water. I started to undress. I took off my shirt and then my sweat pants. Underneath I had swimming trunks. I then got in the water. It was warm but also a little hot. I then reached for my egg and did what madeye Moody told me to do.
I took my egg, held my breath, and went under water. When I was under water I opened the egg.

It started to sing "come seek us where our voices sound, we cannot sing above the ground, an hour long you'll have to search, To recover what we took, lest what you seek stay here to rot".

I pulled out of the water and gasped for air. What did it mean by recover what we took? What were they going to take? Maybe a trinket. And how am I supposed to go underwater?

It didn't matter now. I knew what the next task was and now I could prepare.

I got out of the bath and pulled the plug to let the water out. I put on my clothes and left the bathroom.

I made my way to the common room to take a shower and get ready for dinner. I started to think about the ball and how it was only 2 weeks away. Who was I going to ask?

I knew who I wanted to ask. But I didn't think they would want to go.
