It was time for the final task. We were away from the school, and everyone was cheering on the champions. Me and Luna stood with Neville and Ginny, both in Gryffindor. But I didn't cheer so much. I was still mad with him, since that day, at breakfast.
~
The task began, I was frightened, for all of them. But I only stood with my friends, and waited for it all to be over.
*
It was over, Fleur had left before everyone, almost been eaten by the forest. Then Viktor had gone through that same thing. In the end Cedric and Harry came back together, neither was hurt, physically, but mentally, Cedric seemed off.
Everyone cheered on and I walked up to Cedric and gave him a kiss, "Great job", Said I and he smiled at me back, took his arm around my shoulders and then we walked off back to his dormitory.
*
We lay in his bed, naked, his arm underneath my neck. I knew this felt right, it felt really, really, good.
"Cedric, I need to tell you something", I began. My eyes still on the sealing, I had to tell him what I felt. Cedric nodded and let his fingers massage the scalp of my head, "I love you". I pushed through my mouth, taking my breath, and waited for him to answer.
The boy took a deep breath, and let out a small sight, "Aria". Damn it, he was for sure going to tell me, that he didn't love me, anymore. "I love you. That's not even a question". He said and my whole body was filled with relief.
"Mhm". I answered and lay my head on his bare chest, instead. I smelled in his sense, he snelled good. And I would never grow tired of it. "Perhaps we should leave, for dinner".
Cedric nodded and gave me a kiss on my forehead. "I think you, Aria, is my person". The boy whispered in my ear and then walked away. I lay in the bed a few more seconds as a warm feeling kept spreading through my body.
*
I looked over at Cedric, his eyes, already on mine. Oh my god. Cedric was my boyfriend, and that was unbelievable. A warm glad feeling spread quickly through my body. And then I let my eyes away from him and I looked at Dumbledore and listened to what he said.
*
"Cedric!" Said Malfoy. I could see them from across the corridor. They started talking, calmly. Fuck.
After a while Cedric walked over to me and he led me out of the castle and escorted me to the black lake. Beautiful.
"Aria" he said carefully and looked out over the big lake. The water shimmered in a incredible way, almost like glitter.
I looked at him, at my Cedric, my Ced. "Everything okay?".
He didn't move his head, he just sat there and then took my hand and gave it a little squish. "Malfoy told me".
I looked at him, confused. What's he talking about? His jaw clenched. I admired him, all of him. Especially his face, every little detail, and every little move. I admired.
"Told you what?" I asked. There was nothing I could think about. Almost nothing.
Cedric took a deep breath. As he breathed out a small cloud appeared. A sign the winter was on its way.
"You parents, Aria". He turned to look at me. His eyes directly in my eyes. "They, hit you".
Fucking piece of shit that bloody Malfoy boy.
"I'm okay". I sighted. Nothing I ever said would make Cedric believe me. "I can tell you everything. If you like. But it wont be beautiful".
Cedric leaned forward and kissed my ear. "Don't" He whispered and then he lay me down.
*
We lay next to each other in the grass. Close. His fingers drawing on my face. Then he gave me a kiss. It held long, then he pushed his tung in my mouth and made a swirl around mine. I did the same thing.
Ass we kiss he took a hand on my waist and pulled himself closer to me, making our body's touch. I could feel a tingle and my cheeks get red.
For some time, i thought about not telling Cedric about my parents. But he deserved to know.
"Cedric". I whispered and he looked at me. "I will tell you what happened".
He nodded and then gave me a quick kiss before i started.
"Ehm, when I was 12 my father started to fimp his cigaret butts on my body". I looked up at Cedric, who looked at my arm, I had some small round scars. And now he understood why. "It hurts, a lot. So he uses it to punish me when I've done something". I took a deep breath, and as i breathed out I felt one single tear down my cheek.
"My mother knows about it, and she has told me that it's wrong. But, he hits her. A lot".
Cedric sighted, "Does he hit you as well?". I simply nodded. My heart racing trying to get me away from this situation. "Aria I..".
He didn't finish the sentence. I almost knew what he was to say. Aria I didn't know. But he didn't.
"He has done more things too, but, thats more.. sexual".
"That bloody man! I'm gonna kill him". He mumbled and looked away from me.
"I'm safe with you, ain't I?"
I could see on Cedric that he was blue. His lips touched my chin. That made me feel warm. "I love you". He said.
I love you too.
