Pretty boy diggory ~ C. diggory

chapter 10

*Florence pov*

The ball was this Saturday. Christmas Eve. And I still didn't have a dress.
I found out hermione got asked out by victor crum, and said yes. Makes sense he's been giving her looks the whole time he's been here.

I woke up on Friday, classes had been cancelled for people to get prepared I guess. I don't know honestly I didn't need a whole extra day to get ready. But I was glad I didn't have to go to classes. I didn't really feel like it.

I woke up and got ready. It was 8 in the morning hermione had been awake for hours. Doing what, I don't know whatever hermione does. I got up and took a shower. Put on my uniform and headed down to the great hall for breakfast. When I arrived hermione was there with her nose in a book.

"Morning mione" I said as I sat down, picking up toast. "Morning flo" was all she said before turning the book page.
Just then the boys walked in looking tired. They say down and grabbed food. "Well good morning to you two" I said with a smirk.
"Morning" Harry said in a raspy voice.
Ron just stuffed his face with eggs and bacon. "Save some for the rest of us brother" said Fred. "Shut it" said Ron downing orange juice.

After breakfast I decided to catch up on some v v"7121881%44,5 much homework that was due for potions. Snape would kill me if he found out I hadn't done it yet. Not to mention hermione would freak. I was making my way to the Gryffindor common room. The boys went back to bed and hermione went to study.

I was walking up the stairs when I bumped into someone.
"Sorry that was my bad" I said looking up. "It's alright, I should've watched where I was going" a deep voice said.
It was cedric, he looked tired. He had bags under his eyes.
"Oh hey Jones" he said a smile forming his lips. "hi".
He looked so good. In normal day clothes. He was wearing a Hufflepuff shirt and gray sweatpants.

"Where you headed?" He asked breaking the silence.
"I have to finish some homework for Snape". He nodded his head before speaking again.
"You know I have some homework to finish, would you maybe want to do it together?" He said with flirting look.
"Uh yeah sure" "brilliant, I'll go get my stuff, wait here" he said while running away.

He looks so cute when he runs. It was like a little kid.

I waited there for 5 minutes when he came back with all his work in his hands.
"Ready?" I asked looking at him. "Yep let's go". We both walked in silence to the Gryffindor common room. It was kinda uncomfortable. He turned around so I could do the password.

When the portrait opened we both walked in.
"I'll be right back I have to go grab my work" "ok" he said while pulling out his quill.

I ran upstairs to the girls dormitory and open the door to find hermione studying on her bed.
"Cedric is downstairs waiting to do homework together". She immediately put down her work.
"HE'S WHAT" "shh, he'll hear you".

"I didn't know you were dating"
"We're not, he just asked if it was ok"
"And you said yes".
I nodded as I picked up my work.
"I have to go" before I left I looked back to see her giving me a suggestive look. I rolled my eyes and closed the door.

When I walked downstairs he was already at work. I sat down on the ground across from him putting my work on the table. He looked so peaceful. His expression soft.
His eyebrows knitted together while he was writing. His hand gliding across the paper. He was bitting his bottom lip.

"Your staring" he said not looking up.
I immediately looked down feeling the heat rise up to my cheeks.
"I wasn't staring" "sure" he said looking up finally.

I finished my work an hour later. He had already finished and was watching me as I worked.

I put my quill down on the table.
"So who are you taking to the ball?"
I asked trying not to seem to eager.
His expression fell a bit.
"Uh her name is cho chang"
"Oh really, weren't you two a thing?"
"Yeah a while ago" "if you don't mind me asking why did you two break up"

"Uh just things, she wasn't happy and wanted to explore her options".
"I'm so sorry" "it's ok".

"So who are you taking?"
There it was. "Um, his name's Louis DuFort". He nodded his head as he played with his quill.
It was now lunch time when we decide we should go meet up with our friends.

"Thank you again for letting me study with you" he said as he walked out the common room.
"Yeah no problem, it was actually nice having someone to study with that isn't super serious about it". He started to laugh a little bit.

"Well I'll see you around Jones"
"You to diggory". We both parted ways. The rest of the day I had a smile on my face.

It was dinner and I sat down next to hermione. "Oi, what's got you so happy?" Ron asked. "Just had a good day I guess". He nodded
Hermione gave me a knowing look.
I just smiled and rolled my eyes.

Dumbledore gave a little speech about the Yule Ball and what was to be expected. The food then appeared and ron started to pile up his plate full of goods. "God Ronald save some for the rest of us" hermione scolded him.
I started to eat and my eyes wandered to the Hufflepuff table. Cedric was there laughing with his friends. He looked so happy.

I looked away. Just then I felt eyes on me but they weren't his.
I turned around to see Louis staring right at me with a smile. I smiled back before turning back around to my friends.

For the rest of the night me, harry, ron, and hermione laughed and had fun. This truly was one of the best moments. And nothing else really seemed to matter.
