It had been 1 week since Cedric and kissed me and I had not stopped thinking about it. I had tried to ignore him for the past week but it was getting incredibly difficult. People talk about "mixed feelings" like it's an exception, but for me it's the norm. I'm scared to try and scared not to - what I actually do depends on the balance between the two. There are days I feel so drained from trying to be more assertive that I fail in crucial moments to put my needs forward. It wasn't that I didn't like Cedric it was just that I don't want to hurt him and I don't know how he will handle knowing the truth about me. He was the perfect boy any parent could ask for. He had the grades, the looks and he wasn't cocky about it whatsoever. He commonly used his popularity for good things that rarely benefited himself. I contradicted him completely as I had questions on my mind that would never go through his. Would my mother really try to kill me? That's something that no child should ever have to think about. Yet here I was sitting on my balcony thinking about it anyway.
It was the weekend at last and now I didn't need to make an effort to ignore him because I could stay in my room all day. I quickly walked out of my dorm to go get a drink as I was extremely thirsty but when I walked up to where the water fountain was, I saw Cedric kissing a certain raven haired girl who had grown to be an enemy. Cho Chang.
Out of all the people he could've kissed, he kissed the girl that hated me the most. I turned on my heels and ran but little did I know I had dropped my slytherin prefect badge on the way out. Cedric has immediately pulled away from the girl once he heard the metal hit the floor. He ripped himself away from her and quickly saw the emerald green colour of the badge, and cursed at himself for being so stupid.
"I'll be back" he said and as the sun shine through the windows, a small object shone on the floor. He picked it up and once he realised it was Athena's prefect badge he knew he had made a mistake. —————————|||————————— It had all hit me like a truck all the feelings I had for Cedric that I had pushed deep down had surfaced and I didn't know what to do as I had never been in this situation before. My skin would tingle for hours from his touch and whenever he spoke my heart raced. How could I not know that he liked me too? I had to go make this right. I ran outside to the astronomy tower, mr long hair tied up in a ponytail so I was able to look more serious and put together then I felt. Cedric would go there when he was upset or confused and he has the right to be both. I saw his faint figure as I started to race towards him, his expression becoming visible the closer I got to him. He looked at me and his face held no expression that I could trace. "I'm so sorry Cedric. I moved away because I was scared. Because I didn't want to hurt you.." I exclaimed my hand reaching for his. "Hurt me? How could you hurt me?" "My mom is dangerous and the closer I am with people the more likely they will get hurt" he stared into my eyes intently. "I am willing to take that risk because If it comes down to it I will come back to you. Always" he said truthfully. My heartbeat raced when he said those words and I couldn't help but grin. He gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me.
"But you were kissing cho Chang you know how much she hates me for no-" "I felt so angry and upset. I thought you didn't want me and I felt like I want good enough for you. You had been my friend for years now and I thought you wanted to stay that way and I didn't know if I could do that" "Oh Cedric" "But if you don't want to kiss me I under-" he started but I cut him off by pushing my lips into his. Not innocently, like a tease but hot, fiery, passionate and demanding. I want to pull away before I lose myself but I can't seem to. In this moment, my senses have been seduced and I can no longer think straight "God I missed you" he chuckled "Well I'm not going anywhere either" I said and we both sat down, our legs dangling off the astronomy tower.he wrapped his arm around me and I rested my head on his shoulder. It was cold outside but that was the last thing on our minds. "What if Sirius sees I'm missing and tried to come get me back" I shuddered not thinking of him noticing "Well then they are going to have to deal with me and you're bestfriends"
