Not my kind of guy

"MERLIN. SUSAN STOP IT ALREADY"
I screamed at my friend. I screamed so loud probably everyone in the Hogwarts Express could hear me. Susan kept bugging me over Neville Longbottom after all this time.

My friend Susan, a Hufflepuff thought I had a crush on Neville, a Gryffindor boy I help in his first year at Hogwarts. I was two years above him. I was just being kind when I helped him in potions. TWO YEARS AGO.

"If you had dated someone already I wouldn't think you looooooove him," Susan said sticking her tongue out as she knew it was a joke.

She knew it was a joke she just wanted to push me to my limits.
I know it's part of being friends but I hated it because she knew I like someone else.

Has we were still in the platform 9 3/4 he may arrive at any moment.

Susan sat down next to me before she was just dancing around.

"I'm sorry. I'll stop for real now...." she said trying to frown. She was happy all the time. I mean ALL THE TIME. I have never seen her sad ever. The fact that she was trying so hard made me accept her apologies.
"You got really mad this time. I'm really sorry. But you know you have to tell-" Susan got up an went to check the doorway. Then she spoke lower "you have to tell Cedric you like him. You know he is affected by your 'ways' ...."

I spoke normally and annoyed "Oh ya but he probably will friendzone me or something. You know he has thousands of girls after him. He probably doesn't want a Hufflepuff either. Maybe some other girls have him already. I bet he started dating that stupid Cho in the summer and didn't tell us."

The door opened and I realized why Susan checked the doorway

"I know who's dating Cho."
Said a familiar voice.
It was Cedric obviously. His voice is unforgettable.

I completely ignore what he saying for I started getting lost in his grey eyes.

"Who is ?" Asked Susan. And I snap out of it blinking my eyes and shaking my had a little.

"The Potter boy is" sad Cedric sitting down and being serious but slightly playful about it.

"Oh... good. You good Ced? I'm good.
What did you do during the summer?" I said finally getting words out of my mouth. It was easier to write to handsome Digory then seen him and looking him in the eye.
I got lost in his eyes again as he turned to face me.

"Well for one I was really really busy being ignored by my friends," I said this with such a pain in his voice that I was ready to melt into tears.

"Well, you wanna know what?! We haven't received any from you either" Said Susan almost screaming in anger.

The room was filled with a heavy tension and all of us looked at each other with apologetic eyes.
Something was certainly off.
And it wasn't our fault.
We stood quietly until we arrived at Hogwarts.
