Harry wakes up and goes down to breakfast with Hermione. "You alright Harry? You seem distressed." "I've just been put in a champion killing tournament, and everyone seems to hate me. Sorry if I seem distressed Hermione." Harry says getting even more 'distressed' . Hermione looks at him with a calculating look. "No it's not just that it's something else. I'm sure of it. Come on you can tell me." Harry looks at Hermione then rushes her into an empty broom closet. "Ow! Jesus Harry. Ok, ok sorry. So what is it?" Harry looks at her with a melancholy expression. Hermione's face narrows. "HARRY DID SOMEONE HURT YOU? I SWEAR IF IT WAS RON I'LL KILL HIM!" Harry calms Hermione down. "No, no it wasn't Ron. It... It was... Cedric Diggory." Hermione looked at him with a deadly serious expression before breaking down into laughter. "I'm sorry is there something funny." Harry said annoyed raising an eye brow. "Do you mean to tell me. That pretty boy Cedric Diggory. Who wouldn't hurt a fly. Is the reason you look so down trodden?" Hermione said trying her best to hold in her laughter. Harry roles his eyes and sighs. "Yes Hermione he is the one that's made me like this." "Well, spill the tea, what happened." Hermione giggles. Harry takes a deep breath and told her everything. Her eyes widen and for a while there is silence. She starts to cry and hugs him. "Oh my god Harry I'm so sorry. I should have been a better friend. I should have made you feel alright to come to the Gryffindor common room. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there for you." She cried into his soldier. Harry was stunned a new wave of affection for Hermione washing over him. "No Hermione don't for a second blame yourself, there was no way you could have known." Hermione looked like she was about to protest. "It is not your fault!" Harry said staring into his friend's eyes. Hermione stiffly nods then puts on a smile. "Well, shall we go to breakfast then." Trying to lighten the mood. "Yes let's do that." A new smile creeping onto Harry's face. Him and Hermione walked into the great hall their heads held high. They sit down with Fred, George and Ginny while everyone else glares at him. "Hey Harry, pretty boy Diggory is staring at you." Fred and George   laughed. They all turn around and meet his gaze before he looks away furiously. "If I didn't know any better I would say he's completely smitten with you." Ginny said with a grin as Harry bangs his head on the table, groaning making everyone around his smirk. Harry feels a tap on his soldier, he looks around to see it was Oliver Wood. "Hey Harry can I talk to you?" He said timidly. Harry smiles and says. "Sure Oliver you wanna talk outside?" Oliver nods and they make their way just outside of the hall. "So what is it?" Harry asked curiously. Oliver breaks down and hugs Harry. "Me and Oscar had a fight it was just a misunderstanding I'm just not that great with people so I think I said the wrong thing so we argued and I don't want to lose him because I've only known him for a few weeks but I just love him so mu-" Harry interjects. "Er... Oliver..." Oliver looks at Harry and follows his gaze and looks behind him. There standing was Oscar with a stunned expression on his face. He quite literally drops all the books in his hands out of shock. Everyone stares at each other in silence before Oliver nod's nervously then turns around and starts to walk away, before he hears quick, loud steps behind him and to arms around his waste. He jumps slightly taken off guard and his eyes widen to see the Slytherin bringing him closer to him. "Hey, woah erm..." Oliver stammers trying to find the right words. "YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME IT WAS LIKE THAT, YOU IDIOT." Oscar shouted half crying half laughing. "I didn't think you would like the real, stupid me instead of the confident quidditch player everyone sees." Oliver said as they touch foreheads and close their eyes. "Did you mean what you said?" Oscar asked. "Mean what?" Oliver asked puzzled. "About how you love me so much?" Oscar asked softly ready for hurt and disappointment. "Well I... Erm I, YES I did mean it I love everything about you." Oscars eyes widened before softening and he grinned. "You're an idiot." Oscar said while pulling him closer. "But your my idiot." He whispered before kissing hun passionately. They both forgot everything around them as Oscar put his arms around Wood's shoulders as Oliver put his arms around Oscar's waste. However the stopper after a cough from behind them. The pull apart blushing furiously to see a grinning Harry. "Well now we've got that sorted I'm gonna go have fun you two." He said laughing as he waved them off. Those two are so good together, he thought as he sat back down. "What happened?" Hermione asked curiously. Harry laughed so hard to confused expressions on everyone's face. "I think a certain Gryffindor and Slytherin are hopelessly in love with each other." He said stifling a laugh. Their eyes widen. "WHAT YOU MEAN OLIVER IS DATING A SLYTHERIN?" Fred and George shouted. "SHHHHH, QUIET. But yes they just had a bit of a snog in front of me." Harry said chuckling. For the rest of the day Harry stayed with those lot not caring for the badges or comments in that the students met him with. However to his dismay it seems every corridor he would come in contact with Cedric. Every corner, every stairwell, every room. "For fuck sake." Harry said. Hermione turned and asked. "What is it?" "This entire day all I've done is run into pretty boy Diggory. It's like we are motherfucking magnets or something." Harry angrily said. "More like love magnets." Ginny said as she nudged him playfully. "Shut up Ginevra." Harry said coldly. "Love do not call me that again unless you want to be flying off the astronomy tower." Ginny said sassily making Harry chuckle and smile. "She's right though Harry. You can't stop looking at him and he can't stop look at you. You need to patch things up." Hermione said in a hushed voice. "I know, I know. It's just harder than it looks." Harry said as Hermione roles her eyes. "HARRY POTTER YOU TALK TO HIM RIGHT NOW OR I'LL USE THE IMPERIOUS CURSE ON YOU AND MAKE YOU DO IT ANYWAY." Hermione shouted earning them some weird glances. "Alright, alright I'm doing it." Harry said as he starts to make his way over to Cedric. Hermione pushes him forward so he has to talk to Cedric making Harry glare at her then looks back at Cedric. She giggles then leaves them to it. "Erm hi..." Harry says nervously. Cedric looks as if he's about to leave to where Harry grabs him and drags him into an empty classroom. "HEY GET THE HELL OFF ME POTTER, I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE." Cedric shouted indignantly. Harry doesn't listen. "No I won't let go because then you'll just leave." Harry said close to tears. Cedric's face softens it's not in his nature to be hateful and he has to help everyone even if he doesn't like them it's just how it is. "Alright I won't leave just please don't cry." Cedric says softly. Harry looks up with a thankful expression. "Listen Ced- erm Cedric. I just don't want to argue in fact I hate it. I just can't bare it, it's just to much for me right now. And you seem like a great guy and I can't lose people like you especially now." Harry splutters trying to compose himself. "You really hurt me Harry. I'm not just a pretty face and I have feelings to. And well it really hurts that you think so low of me..." Cedric said his face lowering in sadness. Harry's eyes widen remembering what he said fully. "Oh Cedric, I'm so sorry I was just so angry and I said some things just to hurt you because I just wanted to leave and you wouldn't let me." Harry said a tear or two trickling down his cheek. Cedric stood there frozen unsure of what to do. All he does is hug Harry and that's all he can or thinks to do. They hug each other for a long time not loosening for a second. "Harry can we just forget about it. I can't bear the thought of us fighting like that again." "Took the words right out of my mouth." Harry replied smiling. They stay there for a while laughing and talking, breaking the ice a little if you will. "Hey Ced do you wanna see something with me?" Harry asked hopefully. "Are you asking me on a date Potter?" Cedric smirking. Harry rolled his eyes and grinned. "You wish Diggory. You coming or not?" Cedric nods his head excitedly as Harry smiles and drags him upstairs.
