Baby

A/N: This one's not as good, but I thought it fit. A TikTok Y/N POV gave me the idea.
Shocking, right?💀

Hope you like it anyway!

     You had had a crush on Cedric for a while, now, but he never seemed to see you that way.

     He was a guy that you thought was for sure way out of your league. He was perfect; a gentleman, attractive, athletic, intelligent. He had everything anyone could want in a man.

     He was always hanging out with his friends or other girls who fawned over him, and you never had the guts to tell him how you felt, so you decided to wait and see what would happen.

     Sitting at the Gryffindor table for breakfast, you spoke with Harry and the others about whatever came to mind.

     You and Harry became close friends, almost like siblings, from the start, so you had told him of your long-time crush for the older Hufflepuff boy.

     You noticed said boy was chatting with a girl from Ravenclaw, and he seemed to like her. She had long black hair and porcelain skin. She was gorgeous. He laughed at something she said.

     Harry saw what you were looking at and looked back at you.

     Your face said it all. You looked dejected.

     You heard snippets of what Cedric was saying to that girl, and he got ever so slightly closer to her as a single word came out of his mouth.

     He called her "Baby".

     Apparently, Harry heard it, too.

     "Oh my god, did he just call her 'baby'?" you muttered with a cracking voice, feeling your eyes well up with tears.

     Harry's frown deepened, and he looked over at the boy in question.

     "Maybe?" he replied, sighing as he looked back at you.

     "I'm not okay," you whimpered, wiping your face as tears escaped your eyes.

     "Play it cool," he said, placing a comforting hand on your shoulder.

     "'Cause he likes that?" you said lowly, almost in a whisper.

     Harry sighed and nodded, sliding his hand over to your other shoulder so he could pull you in for a side hug.

     "Cool..." You sighed, wiping away tears. "It's not like he's intentionally trying to make me feel bad, he just doesn't know how I have felt for months. He just doesn't know, that's all..." You tried to reassure yourself over and over.

     Harry sighed, placing his chin on the crown of your head. "It'll be alright," he muttered, "Don't worry about him."

     You only nodded, leaning against Harry, staring at the table in front of you.

     Cedric smiled at the girl he liked before he looked around the Great Hall. When he turned to look forward, he saw you with Harry practically draped over you, comforting you about something.

     You were miserable. He could tell. What he couldn't tell, however, was why.

     Did it have to do with him?

     The girl he spoke to, Cho, saw what he was looking at and grabbed his attention with a smile.

     He smiled back at her, everything around him having been forgotten.

     As you sat there, Harry still hugging you, you realized that you would probably never have a chance with Cedric.

     Baby.

     What a stupid pet name.
