Chapter Six: Kiss Me in the Rain

Saturday, 3rd of October

"Morning Cedric." I said as I entered the main room of the quarters.

"You're up early." said Cedric. "Morning."

He was still in his pyjamas which consisted of checked shorts and a white singlet. His bronze hair was a little on the messy side and he looked as though he needed to shave. He rubbed his eyes with his thumb and middle finger, attempted to wake himself up.

"Yeah, I've got a long day planned." I said. "We do have coaching this morning. It's my turn to make breakfast, it's well overdue. The shower is free whenever you like."

"Thanks Alex. What's for breakfast?" he asked, taking a wobbly seat on the coach.

"How do bacon and egg rolls sound?" I asked.

"Brilliant." he said, as I began work, pulling out a variety of different ingredients from the fridge.

"So today the rest of the Seekers are helping out in coaching I think." I said.

"That's correct." said Cedric.

"I know that Malfoy is Seeker for Slytherin. As for Ravenclaw, who plays Seeker?"

"Cho." said Cedric.

"Oh, Cho Chang? That Asian girl? Harry always tells me about her." I said.

"Yeah. Wait, what does Potter say about her?" he asked.

"Just that she is on the team and she's really good." I replied, I didn't think that Harry would appreciate me exploiting his feelings about Cho to Cedric. "Never asked what position she played though."

"Yeah she's Seeker." he said, looking away.

"You like her." I said.

"Wait, what? No- I mean she's a nice girl and no, I do-"

"Cedric, I'm not silly, I'm just good at figuring out these things." I said. The truth was that he blushed when he said her name, completely avoiding eye contact with me.

"I- no- kid off— don't say anything please?" he begged.

"Because, you know, Cho and I are so close that I would write off your most intimate thoughts. Relax Cedric, I won't say a word." I said, as I cast my wand starting a fire for the eggs.

"Thanks." he said.

"It's not a problem. Breakfast will take a while to prepare, so how about you have a shower." I suggested.

"Not yet, not in the mood." he said.

"There is a particular mood in which you take a shower in?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm still a little too tired to function." he said,

"So any plans for today?" I asked.

"Not really, going with the boys to Hogsmeade. Oh, and tonight is Davies' birthday, are you going?" asked Cedric.

"Yeah, Roger asked Fleur and I the other day, it's in one of the larger class rooms on the seventh floor I think." I said. "I too, am going to Hogsmeade, with Oliver for our date. I'm not sure if anything will come of it, but we'll wait and see right?"
