Out of The Shadows (Golden Trio Era) {1}

Cedric Diggory

Flitwick held Mikayla back after charms to inform her, that she would be performing with Cedric Diggory, so he could get a feel as to how she works with others in the choir. "When do we need to be ready for?" Mikayla questioned, "Tomorrow." He smiled. It was 4 o'clock meaning classes were officially over, Mikayla had 24 hours to learn and perform a musical number with Cedric. She luckily spotted the Hufflepuff with his friends in the courtyard. "Hey Cedric, I can talk to you for a minute?" Mikayla put a friendly smile on her face, "Looks like you're her new victim Ced." Anthony Rickett chuckles, Mikayla looks at him majorly confused, "Your Weasley friend has been telling everyone about how you're the new proclaimed Gryffindor Whore." Mikayla's jaw dropped, Ron was spreading rumours about her, it's going to take one hell of an apology for her to get over that one. "Well, not that it's any of your business but that is a lie. Ron is just pissed because I'm still talking to Harry. Anyway, Cedric it's about Choi-" A hand was placed over Mikayla mouth from behind her, her eyes widen frighteningly before she drove her elbow as hard as she could into the person's ribs, causing them to let go and fall to the ground in pain. She turned around to see the Slytherin Montague on the ground, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Mikayla shouted at him, placing herself closer to Cedric for a little extra protection. "I was wanting a piece of the Gryffindor Whore, I didn't expect you to be so rough Black." He winked at her, Mikayla held down a gag. "Meet me in the library at 5, we need to rehearse." Mikayla whispers to Cedric, before giving Montague a kick in the gut for being a pig, Mikayla headed straight for the Great Hall, she knew Ron would be there.

"RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY." Mikayla's anger echoed through the hall, she looked around before spotting the boy. She advanced on him quickly, placing her wand on his throat. "How dare you spread lies about me!" She yelled, Ron was silent watching his friend in fear. "Don't talk to me ever again. If hear one more lie that you've spread around the school, I will make sure it's the last thing you do, understood?" Ron vigorously nods his head, Mikayla straighten herself up, spinning to walk out just a hand made contact with her ass. Mikayla was about to attack Ron, when a surprising someone stopped her. Brian Smirnov carried her out of the Great Hall, people were still stunned by the seen with Ron and how he had been outed as a disrespectful liar. Mikayla was angrily trying to escape Brian's hold on her but he was way too strong, for her to over muscle. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU AT RON?" Mikayla heard a loud yell coming from Fred Weasley, who was defending her honour, she couldn't help but smile, she stopped resisting Brian carrying her and just went with it.

Mikayla made her way straight to the library after Smirnov let her go. "Brian, you should find Flitwick and see who you're paired with." She told him at 4:58, knowing Cedric would be there soon. Brian reluctantly left, just as Cedric entered the library, sent him a friendly smile to which he waved at and rushed over to her. "I was thinking we could write a song. I heard that you're good lyricist, so I thought it would impress Flitwick a lot." Mikayla agreed with Cedric, she told him about writing a song inspired by Ron's idiocy, called Everybody Talks. The pair took refuge in the back right hand corner of the library, once Mikayla retrieved her guitar and keyboard, to work out a melody. "It could be like a conversation of a guy trying to grab a girl attention." Cedric suggest Mikayla loves the idea, saying that it would be perfect. "Hey baby won't you look my way..." Cedric whisper sings in Mikayla's ear, "I can be your new addiction." Mikayla smiles looking at Cedric who's face was inches from hers. "Hey baby, what you gotta say? All you're giving me is fiction." Mikayla whispers back with a smirk on her face. The pair stared into each other's eyes, Cedric swam in green and blue pools of soul whilst Mikayla melted in his grey orbs.

A smile was spread each of their faces, Mikayla bit her bottom lip just as Cedric's eyes flickered onto them. Cedric leaned in swiftly connecting their lips, Mikayla was at first shocked before pulling him closer by the scruff of his robes. Their lips crushing each other before Cedric deepens it after licking Mikayla's bottom lip, asking for entrance. Cedric's hands took their place on Mikayla's hips, directing her to straddle him and sit on his lap whilst they fought for dominance. The kiss was rather rough, filled with passion and lust, a kiss Mikayla could only describe as perfect. Their lips part after many minutes of intensity, "I've been waiting to do that since the World Cup." Cedric admits blushingly, and causing Mikayla to blush, "Was it as you imagine?" She questioned, Cedric looked up at her with a toothy grin, "Even better, but I might need a second sampling." He looked at Mikayla intensely, Mikayla tangled her hands in his hair pulling him closer, before reconnecting their lips. This kiss was far superior to the one before it, it was slow, meaningful and calm with a hint of roughness. It lasted until the pairs lips were swollen and smiles unable to be hidden. "Mikayla, will you be my girlfriend?" Cedric asked out of breath but completely invested with the gorgeous blonde sitting on his lap. Mikayla froze, would Harry even be ok with them being together considering that they were competing against one another, and everyone has been wearing badges saying that Cedric is the real Hogwarts champion and that 'Potter Stinks.' Mikayla took a deep breath, "Is it ok if I give you an answer tomorrow, I need some time to think about, a lot has been happening lately and I want to be sure before I add a boy into the mix." Cedric smiled his handsome smile, causing Mikayla to almost melt, "Sure, tell me after our performance."

They spent the rest of the day, writing their song and sharing some small talk. Mikayla found out that Cedric loved the muggle movies about James Bond. He fell in love with them after his father showed him, the first of the series. Dr. No.
