Cedric Diggory × Fred Weasley Oneshots!

⚫The Black Lake ⚫

It was the day before the second task of the triwizard tournament. Cedric had already figured out what he had to do for the task, he just needed to get back what the merpeople stole from him and breathe underwater for a little while. He decided to use the bubble-head charm that created a bubble around the lower region of his face allowing him to breathe submerged in the black liquid of the lake. Even though he had finished with his idea, he still decided to study for a little while longer to make sure everything would work right.

He was focused on his book of charms, when he saw a glint of fiery orange in the corner of his eye. Looking up he saw the red head that he so desperately fell in love with, Fred Weasley. "Hello Fred what brings you into the library..?" Cedric asked as the sides of his lips curled into a small smile. Fred answered just as quickly as Cedric closed his mouth "I came to see you, obviously why else would I come to the library, to read..?" Cedric laughed and said "well that does make sense, but what is it you want from me..?" Fred smiled "nothing I just wanted to see you is all, do I need a reason to want to see you..?" Cedric smiled wider "well I suppose not." "So what are you doing here anyway, I thought you already figured out what you were going to do for the next task." Fred asked in wonder. "I was just going over everything to make sure I didn't make any mistakes but all is well, so I really don't need to study any longer if you want to do something else." Cedric replied. "Well would you like to go sneak into the kitchens with me then?" Fred smirked. Cedric smiled warmly " I suppose I coul-" but before he could finish his sentence professor McGonagall walked up to the two "Pardon my interruption, but Weasley I need you to come with me, it's important"

The two looked at her surprised, "what could be so important that she would need fred/me" they thought. Fred frowned and said "Alright well I'll see ya tomorrow during the tournament good luck Cedric." Cedric smiled "see you tomorrow then."

As the two walked away Cedric put his book back and headed to his dormitory to relax so he didn't stress to much for tomorrow's events and ended up not getting any sleep.

~◇~Now onto professor McGonagall and Fred. ~◇~

"What is so important my dear professor..?" Fred asked in a humorous tone. "It's just that you are going to be apart of the second task along with, your brother Ronald, Hermione Granger, and Gabrielle Delacour." Professor McGonagall said rolling her eyes at the boys antics."What do you mean I am going to be in the second task?" Fred asked confused. "What I am saying is that you are going to be the thing stolen from one of the 4 champions." Professor McGonagall informed. "And who would the person I am stolen from be..?" Fred asked already having an inkling of which champion it is. Professor McGonagall scoffed, but still responded "obviously it would be Cedric Diggory" Fred blushed at the thought of being one of the most precious things to Cedric, he has already had a crush on him for ages and just the thought alone was killing him. Then he nodded, letting his professor know that he had understood.

~◇~The next day~◇~

Cedric woke up to the sound of birds chirping out side of his window. He peeled his eyes open, then shut them again, the light being to bright. He put his hands up to his eyes rubbing the sleep out of them and yawned. He then got up slightly stumbling as he went to his trunk pulling out his robes, putting them on, and then walking into his bathroom and started to wash his face and brush his teeth. After finishing his morning routine he went into the great hall for breakfast. After sitting down and putting a cinnamon muffin on his plate with a glass of pumpkin juice on the side, he started to look around for the red head he has become so fond of. He noticed that there was only one twin and that it wasn't Fred it was George, he quirked an eyebrow but ended up just assuming that the boy slept in and was running late so he hastily started to eat his muffin.

After he had finished his breakfast he went to look for Fred because he hadn't come to the great hall and he wanted to see him before he had to get ready for the task. Walking to the gryffindor dormitories, he knocked on the painting, making the fat lady scream dramatically. Cedric apologized to the woman in the painting before patiently waiting for someone to open the portrait hole. Soon enough a boy that Cedric knows to be Dean Thomas swung open the portrait. He looked up blinking a few times before asking "what are you doing here Diggory..?" Cedric sighed "I just came here looking for Fred, is he in there by any chance??" Dean shook his head "no I haven't seen him since yesterday, but you should probably ask George, he is still in the great hall." "Ahh thanks Thomas" Cedric thanked smiling slightly.

Cedric jogged to the great hall looking around for a specific red head. When he saw the one he was looking for he quickly walked up to him. "Hey George I was wondering if you knew were Fred was..?" George turned to Cedric and said "sorry mate but I haven't seen him since he went to the library yesterday" Cedric visibly sighed, George put his hand on Cedric's shoulder "but I am sure he is fine I Mean he's Fred fricking Weasley" the red head said with a reassuring grin. Cedric smiled slightly looking at the time, his smile soon vanished and a worried grin met the brunettes lips "well I have to go to the next task now see you around George" George replied with a simple see you later mate and Cedric walked down to the area were the champions were supposed to get ready.

After Cedric got changed into his correct gear for the task to come, he headed to the docks with the rest of the champions. Putting on his charm and waiting for the signall, Cedric dived into the ice cold water, it was like taking an ice bath. After swimming over weeds and shiny crystal like rocks for what felt like ages, he had finally found a village like place that was crowded with merpeople, he saw four people on their own pillar, tied by rope. Right away Cedric had noticed the red head he was looking for earlier and he was indeed on one of the pillars. A wave of worry and concern washed over him like a ton of bricks. He quickly swam over to the boy, soon feeling relieved as he saw that the freckled boy was under a spell that made him sleep, instead of being passed out from lack of oxygen. He then quickly used a charm to break the boy loose, once he did so he swam to the surface as fast as his feet could take him. Once they were above water the red head started coughing slightly and breathed in a deep breathe. The two boys looked at eachother smiling slightly happy that the other was okay. Some people in the crowd awed while others looked surprised to see the red head come out of the water with Cedric. The boys came out of the water and dried off, and then hugged eachother. Fred smirked even in this cute moment he still wanted to tease the other boy "sooooo I must be really important if I was the stolen item from you hmmm.. ;)" Cedric caught on quickly and smoothly said "Yeah you must be the most important thing to me" this made the other boy blush deeply, burying his face into Cedric's chest, Cedric laughed.
