Chapter 24 - Cedric's POV
"I'll go with you," whispered Meghan.
I'll be honest; I was not expecting her to say yes. I quite literally had prepared myself to be slapped in the face. I was a little skeptical. Surely Meghan did not mean it. If she did, and was ready to get back together, I would be one happy but confused guy.
"Really?" I whispered, so that only she could hear me. It would be just my luck for her to start laughing and pointing at me.
"I- I guess," she stuttered. It looked like she regretted what she had said. "I mean, I don't know. Do you really want to go with me?"
I nodded perhaps a little too eagerly, and she eyed me with suspicion.
Please go with me! I thought to myself. Please!
"I-" said Meghan, looking back and forth between me and the ceiling. "I don't know, I just - it kind of came out, I - uh -"
She bit her lip in fear, and I was mentally smacking myself. Of course she did not want to go with me. I was a complete dickhead! If only I could just explain that it was an accident. I should have explained a long time ago.
We continued dancing, as she gaped, unsure of what to say. I wanted so badly to hold her in my arms forever, but she was trying to get as far away from me as possible. It would be a matter of mintues before this lesson was over, and I wanted to buy some time.
I hoped that someone would knock something over or ask Professor Sprout a question. Anything. This was my only shot, and I wanted this conversation to succeed.
"I don't think I'm ready yet," she said quietly. Her eyes sparkled, but not their usual beautiful glisten; but a tearful sparkle, that hurt my heart.
"I understand," I said quietly. Of course, any other girl would have screamed "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" and smacked me, but once again I was reminded that Meghan was not like other girls. Sure, she would not let me explain what had happened, but then again, did I even try to explain?
I wished I could go back in time and change everything. Now all I had was hope resting on the shoulders of the one who got me into this mess; Cho.
Her plan was seemingly brilliant, but it did not work. She had said that Meghan just wanted me to ask her out again, so I took the Yule Ball as the perfect opportunity. I was rejected.
I bet Cho did not see that one coming.
Or did she?
My mind was going faster than the speed of light at all the possibilites. I felt absolutely ridiculous; trying to work out female brains and all; but I had to start somewhere.
I realized that I was still dancing with the girl of my dreams, and a smile spread across my face. She eyed me with suspicion, and I quickly dropped it into a frown. It was one of the worst feelings in the world, knowing that she did not want me as much as I wanted her.
Or did she?
I hated that question. I was surprisingly thankful when Sprout announced that it was time to stop. Meghan did not pull away when she said this. What could be going on in her head?
I pulled away from her, however reluctantly, and left the common room. I had to talk to Cho, and see what Plan B was.
I turned down the corridor and heard a peculiar noise.
Clunk, thud, clunk, thud, clunk, thud.
I walked closer to the noise, it seemed to be growing louder with every step I took.
