My First Love - Harry Potter FanFiction

September 2nd.

Hogwarts, Sept. 2nd

"After three years spent in this school I've learned how to manage a lot of things simultaneously. Being a witch is not easy as I thought and now I'm about to begin my fourth year here at Hogwarts, which it kinda feels like home to me."

I close my diary and oh my god I'm late for the first lesson of the year! What a great way to start!! Guess I'll have to skip breakfast today. I have to run faster than a bludger or Professor Snape is gonna make this year a living hell.
Hogwarts is an awesome school but is way too big and the stairs don't help at all. Fortunately my dorm is near to the kitchen so maybe I can grab something to eat later and be on time. I'm running through the Great Hall and it's basically empty! Oh my god I am so late, Professor Snape is going to be so mad.

I'm in front of the door of the classroom and honestly I'm a little scared to enter. I'm going to have a quick peek to see if he's around. I slightly open the door but I don't see him so I decide to step forward and go sit at my place. Phew! He's late as well and he doesn't know I was late too, maybe I won't get a detention.
Suddenly the door opens and he enters with his typical sneer on the face. "Morning everyone" he says, he sounds kinda happy, which is pretty strange for him. I bet he has something in mind, something to mess with us. That man likes to see us suffer and be in pain, everyone knows!

"Welcome to this new year, it's astonishing to see that some of you are still here even if they didn't pass my class. If I were the principal here I wouldn't let you pass it!" he says. It's well known that Professor Snape hates teaching Potions and he wants to be the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"Well you're not the principal so you can't just decide for us." I say under my breath.
"What did you just said Ms. Williams?" Professor Snape looks at me as if I just committed a crime.
Oh god I can't believe he heard me! I was murmuring and it wasn't meant to be heard! What am I going to say now? Should I say it again out loud? Or maybe I could pretend I didn't say a thing. Yes! I'm gonna pretend it wasn't me.

"Um I didn't say a thing Sir. It wasn't me." I hope he falls for it.
"I heard you Ms. Williams! Don't pretend to be innocent. Come on repeat what you said in front of your classmates." He looks so satisfied to humiliate me. I can't believe how evil he is.

I don't want to get a detention on the first day. He's looking at me waiting for me to say it out loud but I'm petrified and I can't move a single muscle. I'm afraid I'm going to pass out.

"IT WASN'T HER!" someone screams and suddenly I can move again. Everyone turned their head towards the guy who screamed. Cedric Diggory, the Captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team.
"It was me. I said that. Professor Snape with all due respect you're not the principal of this school and you can't just decide for us. It's the truth." he said.

He has always been kind to me and to everyone else but I would have never thought he would take all the blame on him. I can't let this happen. I'm gonna tell Professor Snape that it was me, he can't give him a detention if it's my fault.
"Professor Snape, it was me and I'm so sorry of what I said." I hope he understands.

"Well, since both of you took the blame you're both getting detention." he says satisfied.
Cedric is looking at me, I hope he's not mad. It's only the first day of school and it's already ruined. I'm going to apologize after the lesson.

*The bell rings after two hours*

Finally these two hours has passed by. I have to apologize to Cedric before he leaves! I run trough all the people but I can't see him 'cause I'm too short. I'll apologize when I see him at lunch, now I have to go to the other lessons.

  *At lunch*

Cedric and I are in the same house, Hufflepuff, so it won't be so difficult to find him and talk to him.

I decide to sit all alone in the Great Hall, I'm too upset and sad to socialize today. While I'm eating someone sits next to me but I don't want to talk to anyone so I look away.
"Hey, you're Hope Williams right?" I recognize this voice.. IT'S CEDRIC!

I turn my head and there he is, next to me in the Great Hall. It's kinda the dream of every girl here at Hogwarts, and to be honest it's my dream too. He's so handsome, hard-working, humble and kind. Cedric's also the Prefect of our House so if anyone has a problem he's ready to solve it. A perfect Hufflepuff, I would say.
"Yes, it's me." Oh my god I don't know what to say!
"I'm Cedric Diggory, I bet you know who I am." he's smiling.

Why would he smile? It's my fault if he has to go to detention.

"Why are you smiling? I'm so sorry if you got in trouble for my fault. I think it's better if you stay away from me, I'm a mess." I am so embarassed.

"Don't worry, I know how tough is Professor Snape... and I don't want to be away from you, unless I'm bothering you." he smiled again.

Is this a dream?
