You were with your friends in the courtyard and you were comforting Harry and Cedric who were traumatized from what had happened during the third task. You had one arm wrapped around Harry and the other wrapped around Cedric.
"It's okay guys, we're here." You gently reassured the boys and gently ran your fingers through their soft hair. Harry quietly cried in your shoulder and you rubbed his back.
"Awww! Is Potter crying?! How pathetic!" you heard a taunting voice. You looked towards the voice's direction and saw Draco and his goons.
Without hesitation, you had your friends stay close to Harry and Cedric and got up and marched up to Draco. "What did you say" You asked with a low and stern voice. Draco didn't say anything as he watched you march up to him.
You grabbed the collar of his shirt and shouted, "You have a mouth and you know how to use it. Now what the hell did you just say?!" He replied, "I said that he's pathetic for crying."
You pushed him back and said, "You listen to me you idiot! Harry is upset! He doesn't need you marching over here, puffing out your little chest, and making his life more difficult than it already is! And I'll have you know something. Crying ISN'T a sign that a person is weak, it means that they have been strong for FAR too long. Remember that! Now go be an arrogant ass somewhere else." and you walked back to your friends.
Draco walked off with his goons. "That was amazing (y/n)." Hermione praised you as you sat back down in between Harry and Cedric. Harry hugged you and thanked you for standing up for him. Cedric smiled at you and thought, "Gosh. I love that woman so much."
*Time-skip*
You sat with Cedric alone in a compartment on the train while your friends sat in one next to yours.
You cuddled up next to Cedric and asked out of curiosity, "So why did you start liking me and when?" He smiled at you and replied, "I started liking you in my 4th year." You looked up at him and asked, "That was when I was in my 2nd year, right?" he nodded and continued, "When I realized that I liked you was when we were just sitting in the courtyard alone and you were just sketching in your journal. When I looked at you, you just looked so beautiful, just sitting there and your hair was shining in the sunlight and flowing from the cool and gentle breeze. Your smile was also adorable, I wanted to kiss you so badly."
You blushed and rested your head on his chest. "What made you like me, (y/n)?" He asked as his fingers gently ran through your hair. You replied, "When we were helping my friends with preparing for a surprise birthday party for Harry and I was on that stool, reaching for something on a high shelf. The stool wobbled and I fell, but you caught me and held me in a bridal style. The smile you had on your face was so....perfect when you asked me if I was okay. It's just that you were always there to catch me when I fell and you were always there for me since the beginning."
You kissed his cheek and you both fell asleep.
*Time-skip*
The train pulled in and Cedric followed behind you as you both got off the train. You saw your father and Cedric's father waiting and they were talking. You and Cedric walked over to them and your father hugged you tightly and Cedric's father did the same with him.
"Are you alright son?" Mr. Diggory asked and Cedric nodded in response. Cedric kissed your cheek and left with his father and you said goodbye to your friends and left.
*time-skip towards the end of summer break*
You were in Diagon Alley with your parents, picking out a pet owl to make it easier to contact each other with by exchanging letters. You were looking at all of the different owls and saw one that caught your eye. You gestured to the shop owner to the owl and he asked, "That's the one you'd like?" and you nodded. "Good choice, miss. She's a beauty." He added as he walked over to her cage.
It was a female Barn owl that had the colors orange, white, and blue.

You decided to name her Celeste. (Celeste is a latin name meaning "Heavenly")
The man walked over to you with Celeste and she flapped her wings happily and perched on your shoulder. She screeched happily and you already knew that she liked you.
You father paid for Celeste as you and your mother went out of the shop. You heard a voice call your name and looked to see who it was. You smiled when you saw that it was Cedric.
He ran over to you and smiled, "I see you got an owl. Funny, my father and I are here to get one as well." You smiled and went in with him to help him pick one out.
Cedric picked out his owl and decided to name him Percy. (I'm terrible with names)

After picking out your pet owl, Cedric kissed you and said, "I missed you. I'll see you later." and you smiled back as he left.
Sorry that I was gone for awhile. I felt completely discouraged from continuing this story but I know that most of you want me to continue this. So I'll update more as soon as possible
