Harry's eyes open. He sits up trying to remember how he got to bed last night. To his shock he looks down and realises it's not his own bed but one that belongs to a Hufflepuff. He scans his brain trying to remember how he got there until he looked to his side. He yelped and jumped out the bed. For next to him was his sleeping Hufflepuff friend, Cedric Diggory. As handsome as ever. Suddenly it all comes back to him. The not wanting to face the other Gryffindors. The cuddling. Breaking down to Cedric. And how they had slept the night together. He stands up not knowing what to do. Eyeing a strand of hair out of place in Cedric's perfect face. He stops and brushes it away staring into the handsome face. He looked at his lips and then looked away. He wanted to kiss him. No that would be wrong, he couldn't take advantage of Cedric like that, right? Right?! Harry thought. Oh but just one time no one will know and you can make it up to him in some other way. A voice said in his head. Nope, not doing that, absolutely not. His mind was made up and he picks up his clothes and a tie and moves to the Hufflepuff bathroom. He quickly changes and as he ruffles his hair in the mirror someone coughs behind him. "Leaving so soon?" Harry turned around to see Cedric leaning against the door with a smirk. Harry roles his eyes slightly annoyed and pushes past Cedric. However, before he can leave the boys dormitory he is tackled from behind and lands on top of Cedric. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU-" Before he can finish Cedric puts a hand to his mouth. "If you don't be quiet we'll be caught. Anyway, I could ask you the same question. What are you doing?" "Leaving." Harry replies irritant. "Why? And without a goodbye?" Harry looks into those grey eyes and actually sees hurt, he melts, relaxing a little. "Look Ced, I know you were just trying to be a good friend. But we shouldn't have done that especially since we are competing against each other in the Triwizard tournament." Harry's eyes are full of guilt and innocence yet Cedric can't help but feel hurt. "Friend? That's all I am to you?" His eyes harden. "I mean yeah what did you think we were?" Harry says the anger coming back inside him. Cedric couldn't believe his ears. After cuddling and reassuring him, after shielding him from others and believing in him when no one else did. He only thought of him as a minor friend? "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU. HARRY FUCKING POTTER HOW CAN YOU BE SO HEARTLESS!" Cedric roles over pining Harry underneath him. "GET OFF ME!" Harry yelled. In the heat of the moment all Harry thinks of doing is hurting Cedric but he know he can't free himself with strength so he opts to his voice. Trying to make Cedric feel as horrible as possible. "HOW DARE YOU THINK THAT WE ARE MORE THAN FRIENDS JUST BECAUSE YOU DID THINGS FOR ME. HOW DARE YOU CALL ME HEARTLESS FOR NOT FALLING FOR YOUR PRETTY FACE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!" Cedric's eyes water with angry tears. "FINE IF ALL YOU THINK OF ME IS A PRETTY FACE THAN I GUESS I SHOULD JUST GIVE YOU A QUICK SHAG SINCE THAT'S HOW LOW YOU THINK OF ME!" He takes off his shirt and undoes Harry's tie. "WHA- WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING. GET OFF ME! GET OFF ME!" Harry's pleas don't change Cedric's mind. He leans forward and smashes their lips together, silencing Harry. Harry stiffness to the kiss, caught off guard by it, before finally melting into it. I'm anger Cedric becomes intense. Forcing his tongue into Harry's mouth not waiting for Harry's lips to give permission and open of their own accord. He fights against Harry's tongue and becomes more and more dominant. He bites Harry's lip, making Harry moan slightly. He can feel Harry yearning for more so he pulls away satisfied at how vulnerable he made Harry feel. Gasping for breath Harry whispers. "Cedric... more..." He moans. Cedric is tempted to comply but stops himself anger welling up inside him almost consuming him. "GET OUT HARRY. DON'T EVER TALK TO ME AGAIN. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT COMING NEAR ME." Tears streaming down his face. Harry gets up. "FINE SEE IF I CARE!" Harry storms out and slams the door behind him. Cedric cradles into a ball and cries his heart out until he has no tears left to give. Later on they all make their way down to breakfast, Cedric dreading seeing Harry. He is lost in his thoughts that he bumps into someone falling to the ground hard. "Hey watch it will-" He cuts off as he sees the teary expression on his Slytherin friend, Oscar. He hugs him and says softly. "Oh my god, what's wrong?" Forgetting all about his problems and focusing on his friend. "I- I, h-ad an argument with Ol-Ol-Oliver." Oscar said trying his best to hold in his tears and not cry. "Hey, hey easy what was it about?" Oscar's eyes contorted into rage. "THAT ARROGANT PRAT KRUM HAPPENED! He came up to me and asked who my dad I..." He stops a look of horror on his face. "Why is Krum asking about your dad who is he." Cedric's eyes widen with a sudden realisation. "Oscar... who is your dad." Oscar looks down at his hands shifting uncomfortably. "Oscar Lynch you are not about to tell me... that I'm fact... your farther is the Irish seaker, Aidan Lynch, one of the best quidditch players in the world." Cedric says not believing his ears. "YES ALRIGHT. I'M HIS SOM AND THAT BASTARD JUST TRIED TO PICK A FIGHT WITH ME BECAUSE OF IT AND NOW EVERYONE KNOWS!" Oscar shouts finally letting out his tears and burying his face into Cedric's robes. "Hey, hey it's ok. So tell me why did that make you and Wood fall out?" Cedric says hugging him tightly. "I told him to fuck off then Oliver started defending him saying I shouldn't be talking to such a world class player like that. So I just ran and ran and then I ran into you." Oscar said crying. Cedric pats him on the back and just stays there hugging Oscar. Finally Oscar pulls away and wipes his tears then smiles. "Anyway enough about me. How are things with you and Harry I know you two like each other a blind man could see it!" Cedric suddenly saddens and tells Oscar about everything. About the sleeping together. The fight and what was said. When he finishes he sighs feeling a great weight slightly lifting from his shoulders. "Wow I... I'm speechless." "I know I feel terrible I really want to talk to Harry but I don't know how." Oscar strokes Cedric's hair and says. "Wow we are so unlucky in our relationships. How about as a first step for both of us we sit together at breakfast. Ignore the idiots that way we get over our fear of facing them." Oscar says with a small brave smile. Cedric nods and the two of them get up. "Ok then lets go." The two of them walk into the great hall. Oscar sits with Cedric and they start to eat and chat, fully aware of the glares coming from two particular Gryffindors, but they don't much care. All they are bothered about is getting through this. Suddenly Dumbledore stands up and everyone goes quiet. "Just a quick announcement. Due to the Triwizard tournament that is commencing this year the usual Hogwarts quidditch cup will not be taking place this year." Dumbledore politely smiles then sits down. Oscar smiles to himself as he thinks a certain Gryffindor won't be happy about that. Sure enough he hear a big frown from the Gryffindor table and turns to see Oliver hands in face at the news. Oscar giggles loudly looking at Oliver. Oliver looks his way and starts to smile. At this Oscar's face turns cold as he turns around realising he is supposed to be angry at Oliver. Wood's face drops he didn't mean to defend Krum he sorta meant it as a joke at the time but he has never really got people or how to interact with them. Brooms are so much easier than people he thought. At the Hufflepuff table Cedric looks at Oscar curiously. "If you don't mind me asking. How did you get with Wood?" Cedric asks very interested. Oscar sighs and chuckles. "Nosey today aren't we. It kinda happened by accident and kinda didn't at the same time. Remember how he asked how he could make things up to me? We when I first laid eyes on Oliver I just couldn't get over how handsome he was so I asked him to go on a date with me. We left for Hogsmeade and then I was about slip on some mud when Oliver stopped me by pushing me back into him. And then we accidentally kissed. You guys then came along and then later that day he asked me to be his boyfriend so I said yes." Oscar said with a happy tone however Cedric could tell there was something more to it perhaps melancholy? Cedric grabbed Oscar's hand and held it affectionately to show his support for his friend. "Thanks Cedric." Oscar muttered. On the Gryffindor table Harry's eyes dart over to Cedric and sees him holding hands with Oscar. He doesn't know why but he is burning with jealousy and envy. All he wants to do is take Cedric from Oscar but he doesn't know why. He looks away trying to ignore them and starts playing with his food, bored out his mind. He stands up and leaves. For the rest of the day Cedric and Oscar (to the displeasure of Harry) hang out. Until finally they wish each other good night and make their way over to their common rooms. Cedric slips on his pyjamas and heads to bed turning out the lights and falls asleep. Meanwhile Harry can do anything but. Everyone he tried falling asleep he envisions the kiss with Cedric, waking him almost instantly. All he can think about is Cedric and he hates it he hates him, right? Yeah he hates him that bastard tried guilting Harry into being more than friends. But the more he looks inside himself the more he realises it's not Cedric, Harry is angry at. It's himself. Himself for not seeing what he was taking for granted. Not seeing the kindness and worth of Diggory. He punches himself thinking about it. Until finally he is to tired and passes out...
