Cedric Diggory - The Yule Ball

Picture: Your dress

It was your fifth year at Hogwarts and The Yule Ball, in honour of the Triwizard Championship, was coming closer. Most girls were freaking out about finding a date, you didn't. Cedric Diggory himself had asked you to the ball! Ofcours you said yes, I mean, look at the guy.

Today was the day. You were working on your homework in the librabry with your two best friends George and Fred weasley. "So (Y/N)...", Fred started. "I'm not going to tell you with who I'm going. You'll see tonight." You saw the disappointment in their eyes and chuckled. "So you do have a date?", Fred asked. You nodded. "Yes, ofcours. Do you have dates?" They nodded. You looked at the time. In two hours the ball would start. After piling up your books you stood up and walked towards the Gryffindor common room. Up the stairs and into the girl's dormitories. "Hi Hermione. You okay?", you asked when you saw Hermione sitting on her bed. "No, Ron doesn't believe I have a date for the dance." You sat down next to her. "Just ignore it. Fred and George don't believe I have one either." You stood up and clapped your hands. "But let's get ready for the dance. I mean we have to look amazing. We have to start the dance, remember?" Hermione nodded and relieved she stood up. You put on your dress and with a little help from Hermione you curled your hair with some kind of spell.

Cedric was waiting for you downstairs. You and Hermione walked down together and the both of you got admiring stares from other students. "Are that Hermione Granger and (Y/N) (Y/L/N)?", someone whispered. Beneath the stairs Fred looked at you, his mouth hang open. You smiled at him and walked towards Cedric who took your hand and smiled at you. "You look beautiful, love.", he said. "Thank you. You look really handsome." "Are you ready?" You nodded. Together with the other champions and their dates you walked into the Great Hall. The music started and you started dancing. It was a great party and after a while everyone was dancing and having the time of their lives. Halfway through the night Fred asked if he could borrow you from Cedric. "(Y/N) you look amazing.", he said. You smiled shyly.
After half an hour Cedric tapped Fred on the shoulder. "Oi mate, can I have my date back?" Reluctantly Fred let go of you. "Let's take a walk.", Cedric whispered in your ear. "Okay." The both of you walked outside past the lake. Your hands were entwined. "I had a really great night Cedric.", you said sincere.
"Me too and, well, I really like you. You're beautiful, funny, very clever. So, uhm, will you be my girlfriend?" A smile crept onto your lips. "Yes, I'd love to." You gave him a hug and kissed his cheek. "I'm going to bed. It's pretty late and we have school tomorrow. Good night." "Good night, love." You walked towards the castle, but halfway Cedric stopped you, grabbed your waist and kissed you.
