Pretty boy diggory ~ C. diggory

chapter 13

*Florence pov*

It been a week since I last talked to cedric. Apparently him and cho we're better than ever and we're in love.
It was so annoying. They walked around holding hands and giggling.
It was disgusting, I mean get a room.

It was unbelievable it was like no one cared, like it was normal.
They couldn't stop. They would hug and kiss at every opportunity.
And I would have to watch. Sitting there at dinner, studying with hermione. They were everywhere.

And the thing that irritated me the most was that cho would tell her friends during classes and passing periods. I mean she would say it so loud that people from miles away could hear. She would talk about how happy she was if they got back together, and how in love they are.

I was in the great hall eating lunch with harry, ron, and hermione.
"Harry have you figured out the egg?" Ron asked while stuffing his face with rotisserie chicken.
"No not yet" "the next tournament is in a month and you still haven't figured out the egg" hermione said looking up from her book.
"No mione I haven't" harry snapped.

"Hey calm down, I know your on edge but no need to be rude" I said rubbing his forearm.
"I'm sorry" he muttered.
"It's ok we'll figure it out, I promise".
"Oh great here comes the newest couple" ron said rolling his eyes.
I followed his gaze to cedric and cho sitting down at the Hufflepuff table.

They were holding hands as always.
I rolled my eyes as I watched her lean on him smiling. As if he felt my gaze he turned around. We made eye contact, I couldn't seem to look away.
It wasn't until cho had to ruin it by pulling cedric's face to look at her.

*Cedric's pov*

I couldn't look away. It wasn't until cho pulled my face towards her.
"Don't look at her" she said.
"You know we're not actually dating".
"Doesn't matter if you look at her to long she'll think you like her and she won't like you".
She was right I'd been trying my best for the past couple of weeks not to look at her. To act like I wasn't interested anymore. But it was hard.

After lunch I went to my classes.
Cho had been following me around for weeks. It was quite annoying.
I know we were doing this whole fake dating thing but still it was to much.
It was like she thought we were actually dating.
I was starting to wonder if this whole thing was a mistake.

My last class was potions with 4th years. I didn't mind having classes with younger grades.
But today I was kinda nervous. It meant I had to see florence.
I made my way to the potions classroom and sat down. I started to pull out my quill and parchment.
I was writing down the notes on the board when I heard that laugh I loved.

I turned my head to see florence and her friends walking in. They were all laughing at something ron said.
"It wasn't even that funny" ron said.
Though he couldn't stop laughing.
"That's what's so funny, it's so dumb"
Florence said she couldn't stop laughing either.

I turned my head before they felt my gaze. I went back to my notes as they sat down. Professor Snape walked in, his cape flowing as he flicked it behind him.
"Today we will be partnering with a student from the year below".
Thank god, I really didn't feel like doing anything with cho. She's been a lot more clingy than usual.

"I will be picking your partners" he said in his deep melatonin voice.
"Ok first mr.potter and mrs.belrose".
He went on for awhile until I heard my name.
"mr.diggory and mrs.jones".
Oh no, not only making her jealous was hard but now I had to sit down and be her partner.

I turned my head to see florence looking very upset. She didn't look very happy that we got paired.
"Are you serious" she yelled.
"Mrs.jones if you'd like I could just fail you both".
She rolled her eyes as she picked up her stuff and started to make her way over.

She set her stuff down as pulled out the chair.
"You will be making the potion on page 462"Snape said before sitting back down at his desk.
"Okay so I was thinking"
"Can we just not talk please" she said as she got up to go grab the ingredients.
What was her problem, why was she being so difficult again.

I guess it was gonna be one of those days. She came back as she set down the ingredients and started to read.
Not soon after she put a purple potion in the cauldron. We both worked in silence for a few minutes until she spoke.
"Pass me the rose thorns".
"Where's the please" I joked.
"Just pass me the damn thorns".
I didn't want to make her more mad so I passed her the thorns and watched her pour it in the mix.

"You know manners are important" I said leaning over.
"Yeah and so is personal space" she said glancing at me.
I laughed. "What's so funny diggory".
"Your cute when your angry".
"How do you think you girlfriend would feel if you were flirting with me, huh?"

I looked over to see cho staring at the two of us. I didn't realize how close we were. My arm was behind her, resting on her chair. She looked angry, really angry. I cleared my throat as I moved away. We went back to working I'm silence.

Why did it matter. Me and cho weren't even really dating. Who cares what she thinks. We were going to "break up" in a month or two.

Class ended 20 minutes later. We finished the potion before everyone else. Snape even gave us both five points to both of our houses.
Florence was the first to leave. As soon as class ended she immediately ran out of the room. As I was putting my stuff in my bag cho came up to me.

"What the hell was that?" She was obviously still mad.
"What are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about, that little interaction that you two had. I mean if you really want people to think we're together you can't flirt with other girls".
"I wasn't flirting" I lied.

"Whatever cedric" she said as she stormed out of the classroom.
I didn't feel like dealing with her right now. I was to annoyed.
I picked up my stuff and left making my way to the Great Hall for dinner.
I was starving, I hadn't eaten since lunch. And even then I didn't eat much.

I sat down next to my friends james and jake. We all waited till Dumbledore was done with his speech and dug in.

*Florence pov*

The whole day today has felt off.
I mean after that interaction in potions with cedric. I felt weird.
I was sitting down harry to my left and ron and hermione opposite of us.

I looked over to see cho and cedric sitting at different tables.
I was surprised, cho had been all over cedric since they started dating.

I decided to push those thoughts out of my mind and just enjoy dinner.
I went back to the common room and said good night to my friends. Me and hermione went up to our dorm in got into our beds.

That night I fell into a peaceful sleep not thinking about anything but the days to come.
