Pretty boy diggory ~ C. diggory

chapter 22

*Florence's pov*

I was starting to feel better by the second. I was so happy that I had such amazing friends. Dinner was great we all had a good time laughing and making stupid jokes.

But halfway through dinner I felt eyes on me. I felt his eyes on me.

I saw him out of the corner of my eye watching me.

Why was he watching me?
I mean after not talking to me for week. Not even looking my way once he was all the sudden known of my presence.

I couldn't look at him. Not after everything he put me through these past weeks. I wasn't going to let him back in. He was one of the only people I let in besides my friends.

I avoid his eyes the rest of the night. Every once in awhile I would feel him turn back and stare but I never stared back. It was time to him to get a taste of his own medicine.

Finally dinner was over and I practically leaped out of my seat eager to get away from his stare.
We took our time making our way to the common room. Ron kept making jokes that me and Harry kept laughing at. Hermione only shook her head and called us immature.

We were all talking about how fun of a day we had when we heard some high-pitched giggling.

"What the bloody hell is that noise?" Ron asked covering his ears.
"I don't know but it's awfully annoying" I say doing the same.
"Why are people so loud" Hermione complained.
"Probably some six years snogging" Harry said rolling his eyes.

We continued walking as the annoying noise continued.

That's when we heard it.

"Cedric stop it" the loud voice giggled.

That caused me to stop dead in my tracks. Not soon after, everyone else followed. Hermione and Ron were confused to why we had stopped but Harry was only looking at me.
I could see Harry was just as shocked as I was.

"Come on flo we have to keep walking" he said putting a hand on my lower back.
"Show him your over him" he whispered in my ear.

He was right. I had to move on.
If he was allowed to then so was I.
I post all the hurt in the betrayal out and started to walk.
Just as we turn the corner we saw it.
Cedric and Cho were pushed against a wall while Cedric was kissing down her neck. Just like he once did to me.

I wanted nothing more then to go over there and push him off of her and tell him off. But I knew I couldn't do that if I wanted to move on.
So instead we continued walking when he lifted his head to look at me.

I felt his eyes on me as I continued to walk down the corridor past them.
I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of meeting his eyes. I know he was watching me turn the corner.
Before I could think about what I was doing I let my eyes meet his.

But what I didn't expect was the look on his face. I couldn't quite make out what it was. It looked like a mixture of confusion and surprise but what I didn't expect to see was a tiny bit of hurt. No it couldn't be. He had no right to feel hurt and I seriously doubt he felt any of those feelings.
It was all in my head.

I quickly took my eyes away a turned to corner. I felt tears well in my eyes but I keep my eyes forward not wanting anyone to see me cry.
This was going to be weird to explain.
Just then I felt an arm slip around my waist and start to rub circles on it.

I immediately knew I was Harry.
We finally got back to the common room and that's when I let myself break down. Tears just flowing out of my eyes and I couldn't stop it.

I felt Harry's arms wrap around me pulling me to his chest. Not soon after Hermione came and started to play with my hair. Soon followed by Ron who started to whisper comforting words in my ear and rub my back.
