Dear Diary,

Tonight Cedric and I went to the Astronomy Tower and spoke, spoke so much about our friends, our families, and the plans we wanted to do at the Summer Vacation. We also made out of course because our love is crazy.

Then we lay down at the floor and looked at the stars.

"What do you see at the stars?", I wondered hypothetically.

"I have zero knowledge in Astronomy, but doesn't this look like a Hippogriff?", he smiled widely at me, and pointed at a constellation which indeed looked like a Hippogriff.

"Yeah it does, and that one looks like a heart", I laughed, and pointed at another one.

We kept going, from a house-elf, to a pair of glasses, to a cupid, and even to a baby.

"Yeah..." he sounded dreamy.

"What are you thinking about, Ced?", I turned around so I could face him.

"Oh, nothing". He grinned.

"Don't lie to me", I said seriously. "You know that I don't like that people lie to me!", I teased.

"I know that fairly well, miss Chang", he chuckled.

"So, would you tell me?", I stood on mine.

"Fine... it's just... you know... the baby...", he finally spat it out.

"What's with it?", I asked. Was he about to say something reckless?

"It... makes me dream about our future, our plans... if something happens to me at the third task-"

"Shh!", this topic scared me too much, and I was about to cry.

"Sorry. But it scares me, what if I'm not good enough-", I shut his mouth with a kiss, and pinned him to the ground.

"Listen to me now, mr. Diggory. Stop thinking about it and being scared of the future unless you want your poor little girlfriend crying her eyes out. I can train with you if you like."

"I'd love to, but let's leave that to tomorrow."

"And for now, what do we do?"

"What about practising?", he suggested. The first thing that came to my mind, considering we both were seekers, was obviously-

"Quidditch?"

"You really want both of us to die?", he teased.

"Stop talking about death!", I was about to cry again.

"I was talking about practising for our baby up there!". He said and I flustered. He may have spoken too loud for things like that. Lucky no one came.

"Shhhh!!!!", I giggled, and he kissed me. The game was on. We couldn't stop laughing, and it was a very oddly calming experience. He touched my bare hips, I ran my fingers from his shoulder all the way down his arms, and I felt something strange on his left thigh.

"Ced, what is this? Is that a scar?"

"Yeah, the Ravenclaw seeker accidentally dropped me out of the broom last year and it was very deep". 

Hold on! The what?!? Ravenclaw seeker?!

"You dummy, I was the Ravenclaw seeker last year!", I pointed out, and remembered that I did actually dropped him to the ground. I barely knew him at that time. Funny how things can change in one year.

"Oh yeah, forgot... but it's fine now. It doesn't hurt anymore".

"Ced... I'm so sorry..." I looked at his eyes and back at his scar. And I did the unexpected: I leaned down and kissed it, and then I got back up and kissed the tip of his nose. He laid his head on my shoulder and I embraced him, stroking his hair, and we fell asleep that way.

Future Cho: And I wasn't even imagining that it was my first and last time making love with Cedric.
