The marching band plays as cheers and clapping echo's around me while I smile at my boys up in the stands, holding up my name on green banners with the rest of Slytherin. Today is the final task and I honestly can't wait for this shit to be over so I can go back to a stress-free school life.
"Miss Black," I turn away from laughing at Draco who has my name written on his forehead, to see Amos with Cedric. "It's good to see you again!"
"I wish it was under better circumstances," I say and shake his hand with a smile.
"As do I," he lets go of my hand and pats Cedric on the back. "But I'm sure I will see you around more. I've been keeping up with the paper and have seen the photos of you two."
My face heats up and even Cedric blushes making his father laugh at us both before taking a step away.
"Sorry about him," Cedric apologizes, taking a step closer to me. "He enjoys embarrassing me."
I laugh and wave him off. "It's fine, honestly."
"He's not wrong. After this, I would like it if you can come visit me during the break."
My jaw drops as I look up at him and he chuckles, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear, making butterflies erupt.
"I, uh," I stutter and then laugh. "I would love that. I would love to do that."
"Good, because I really like you," he says so softly I barely hear him. "I know we haven't spent much time together, but I would like to give us a try after all of this. More dates and all."
My thoughts melt away as I blink a few times at him, trying to process what just came out of his mouth. Cedric Diggory likes me, Valentina Black. Holy shit he likes me.
"We can talk more about this after," he says obviously noticing I'm stunned. "You look beautiful today," he then kisses my cheek making the crowd roar louder and I smile up at him as he pulls away.
He gives me a small smile before walking over to his father who is watching us with a thumbs up making me laugh.
"How come everyone is finding love," Harry mumbles, and I turn around to him, laughing.
"Sonorus!" Dumbledore shouts and the band goes silent as the cheering stops. "Earlier today, Professor Moody placed the Triwizard Cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now, as Mr. Diggory—" The Hufflepuffs start cheering as Amos lifts up Cedric's arm. "And Mr. Potter—" The Gryffindors start to cheer as I pat Harry's back. "Are tied for first position, they will be the first to enter the maze, followed by Miss Black," Slytherin starts to stomp their feet on the stands as Mattheo chants my name with the boys making me smile. "And Mr. Krum and Miss Delacour. The first person to touch the cup will be the winner!"
