It was seven thirty in the morning and Harry had quickly slipped on his quidditch armour and clothes. Ecstatic for practice especially with Oliver and Cedric. He rushed to get his broom and quietly left the Gryffindor common room. He raced down the steps and met Oliver and Cedric in the courtyard. "Hiya Harry." Oliver enthusiastically. "Hi Oliver" but he wasn't really paying attention for he couldn't stop staring at Cedric who was looking extra handsome in his Quidditch uniform. "Hey Harry" Cedric said with a wink that made Harry gulp and turn a light shade of pink. Oliver didn't notice but Cedric definitely did which made him grin. "Great morning for practise, come on then let's go" Oliver said excitedly. The three of them hurried off to the pitch. All they did was chat about Quidditch not waiting to get on the pitch and practice. When they finally got to the pitch they saw a sight they most definitely didn't suspect. There was someone in green so they assumed it was a Slytherin already practicing by himself. They watched him throw and chase the quaffle and catch it. Then they saw him drop off his broom. They gasped in fear, watching him fall and they thought he was gonna real almost every bone in his body from the fall. But instead he did some acrobatics in the air and was caught by his broom at the last second. They could hear him laugh in joy and he was truly a sight for saw eyes. Finally he noticed the three looking at him and he felt really embarrassed. He flew down and landed on his feet effortlessly. "Erm sorry am I not meant to be here?" He asked nervously becoming more and more nervous by the minute. Harry's eyes widened as he realised it was Oscar from last night the newcomer. "Erm n-no th-this is an open pitch after all." Oliver stammered still in shock. "Oh thanks god I can't be getting any points take away on my first day" Oscar laugher nervously. "I'll just leave you guys to it." He said as he swiftly brushed past them but Oliver had other ideas. He grabbed his arm and said, "wait erm maybe you could-" her was interrupted by Oscar spinning around and holding his wand to his neck glaring at him. But quickly his face softened and he dropped his wand. "OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY IT'S JUST FORCE OF HABBIT!" Oscar shouted completely embarrassed and apologetic. "No no it's fine sorry for grabbing you. Anyway I was wondering maybe you could join us." Oliver said. "Maybe we could teach you a couple of things." Oliver said slightly embarrassed. "Oh ok I see if I can keep up." He laughed as Oliver went slightly pink. "Er, I'll be a chaser on one team Cedric you'll be my seaker and Oscar you can be a chaser on the other team with Harry as your seaker."
"Fine with me." Cedric said. Oscar turned to Harry. "Oh hey by the way I'm Oscar I don't think we properly met." He took at his hand. Harry shook it and said. "Hi I'm Harry, Harry Potter." Oscar's eyes widened. "Nice to meet you finally Harry. Also wow you are way more cuter than I imagined." He flirted. This made Cedric tense and glare at him. "I er..." Harry started. Oscar laughed and said, "you alright?" Harry nodded. "Alright then let's get into positions." Oliver said after some silence. "Yes please." Cedric said desperate to stop Harry and Oscar from talking to each other. They all got on their brooms and flew into their positions. The quaffle was thrown into the air and the game began. Oliver grabbed it first as Oscar raced after him. Meanwhile Harry and Cedric was scanning the area for the snitch. Oliver threw the quaffle aiming to score but out of no where Oscar caught it and sped towards Oliver's hoops. Oliver charged at full speed at Oscar. But was absolutely unprepared for what happened next. Oscar could feel Oliver growing closer until he knew he was directly on his tail. He thought of one move that he had perfected last summer his mum had taught him. He jumped up pushing his broom down and fell behind, grabbing onto Oliver's body at the last moment and pulling himself onto Oliver's broom. Harry was amazed by the stunt to shocked to even realise the silver wings of the golden snitch fly past him. "Hey handsome." Oscar said to Oliver. Oliver turned around and yelped. "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM?"
"Didn't you feel me grab onto you?" Oscar said surprised, Oliver shook his head. "Oh well" Oscar stood up and jumped off Oliver's broom landing comfortably on his own. Oliver was stunned by his skill so much so that Oscar had a free shot which he took and scored. Harry felt a rush past him. He looked back to see Cedric in pursuit of something Harry already knew what it was so he chased after him. They darted back and forth trying to catch the snitch, it just narrowly escaping them until finally they were neck and neck. They looked at each other Cedric grinning at him and Harry couldn't help but smile. Then they got back to hunting the snitch down both of them outstretched their hands just missing the snitch by inches but they were getting closer and closer to it. As they got closer to the snitch so did their hands and suddenly Cedric forgot all about the snitch and itched his hand slowly towards Harry's he brushed his Hand over Harry's. Harry was shocked as Cedric never got distracted from quidditch. Slowly but surely Cedric's fingers entwined with Harry's and they forgot all about the snitch and they slowed down slowly but surely. Until they were at a comfortable normal pace and had completely were holding hands. Oscar was the first to notice and he pointed at them to Oliver. Oliver was annoyed as they had wasted quidditch practice. Soon they all flew done to the ground and dismounted their brooms. Harry realised that him and Cedric were still holding hands and he quickly pulled away, to Cedric's disappointment. "Awww you two are so cute." Oscar teased. "If I'd known you two were boyfriends I wouldn't have called Harry. My god, sorry Cedric." He said half joyful half embarrassed. "Yeah that was a bit weird." Oliver laughed. "You jealous Wood?" Oscar teased. "Obviously." Replied Oliver sarcastically. "Don't worry I only have eyes for you." He said as he leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. "W-wh-WHAT?!?!?!?" Oliver shouted going red as a strawberry. Oscar burst out laughing uncontrollably and quite literally fell on the ground because he was laughing on the ground to hard. "Oh I'm sorry I loved doing that your face was priceless." He said rubbing tears from his eyes as he stood up. "Anyway how did I do? Hope I didn't suck to badly." He said. "You were amazing and surprisingly a clean player." Oliver said almost in awe. Suddenly Oscar scowled. "Why cause I'm a Slytherin?"
"Well kinda you lot have a reputation for being dirty players." Oliver replied uncomfortably. "Kinda narrow minded to assume that all of us are the same don't ya think?" Oscar replied "hey no it's not like that come on Oscar." Oliver said as Oscar started to walk off. They were out of earshot but Harry and Cedric could see them. The only thing they heard was Oliver asked, "what can I do to make it up to you?" To which they could see Oscar smile and whisper something into his ear. Then they could see Oliver go bright red and a look of confusion on his face. He nodded and they could see that Oscar was visibly happy. Oliver ran up to them and said, "gotta go, I had a great time cya later." He yelled as he ran off. "What was that about?" Harry asked as Cedric shrugged. "Hey do you wanna go with me to Hogsmeade?" Cedric asked. "Are you asking me on a date Diggory?" Harry asked mockingly. "Don't push it Potter." Cedric said blushing. Harry saw this and new that he couldn't pass on the opportunity to make bathe Hufflepuff go completely red. "You know it seems that when your around me." Harry said getting closer and closer to Cedric's face. "You seem to get all flustered and red... tell me Diggory is that true?" Harry said trying not to laugh cat Cedric's bright red face. Harry laughed and said, "come on then I'll get changed and then we can walk around Hogsmeade." They quickly changed and walked the long distance to Hogsmeade, talking about school and what had happened at the World Cup as well as the Triwizard tournament. "You're not actually gonna try and compete are you?" Harry asked shakily. "Yeah obviously why?" Cedric replied curious at Harry's question. "It's just I've heard from so many people that it's really dangerous and that some people have even died and I just... no... couldn't deal with that." Cedric paused and looked at Harry, "aww is ickle wickle Hawwy worried about me how lucky am I?" Cedric cooed. "Do you know what I take it back you go through those trials all you want I ain't gonna stop you." Harry said in an annoyed tone. Cedric laughed and put his arm around Harry. "I like it when you worry about me." He whispered to Harry which made Harry's ear go red and tingle. For the next two house they explored Hogsmeade. Getting chocolate and sweats from Honeydukes. A few bits and peaces from the joke shops and a butter bear from The Three Broomsticks. They walked through the small wood next to Hogsmeade laughing and joking until they crossed a corner. They both froze in their tracks as they saw Oscar and Oliver snogging behind a tree. "Erm excuse us." Cedric said grinning. They broke apart instantly and then Oliver shouted. "CEDRIC, HARRY, funny seeing you two here IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE."
"We'll to us it looks like you snogging a fourth year." Cedric laughed. Oliver went bright red. Oscar went up to Cedric and grabbed his shirt, "listen pretty boy you aren't gonna tell anyone about this I don't care how popular you are I will personally kick your ass if you say a word about this to anyone." Oscar said coldly. Cedric raised his hands and said, "OK OK OUCH SORRY!" Oscar's fade softened and he let go of Cedric. "What have I got myself into." Oliver murmured which made Oscar blush. "Come on lads we need to make our way back to the great hall and I have no idea on how to get there so you lot need to show me." Oscar said happily. "Yeah he's right come on." Harry said
