Cedric Diggory fanfic

study nights

lowkey a filler chapter....first task will be next chapter.

After the wand weighing ceremony, Y/N had spent most of her days in the Hogwarts library. Where she would study more and more about dragons. She was feeling a bit more nervous as the date of the first task approached.

What Y/N didn't notice in all these hours of studying was another fellow champion, just aching to talk to her looked behind at her concentrated look behind the bookshelves.

Cedric Diggory was described as the "perfect" boy, the golden boy, the role model, the "it" boy.

Yes, Cedric could be cocky about his reputation at Hogwarts, but he didn't make a big deal out of it.

When he was told what the first task was, Cedric thought he'd never be able to defeat a dragon. He was scared under that fake smile. So similar to Y/N, he also spent his many days at the library, trying to figure out a strategy against a dragon.

Whenever he'd enter the library Y/N was the first person he would notice.

Y/N was the first person he noticed at the chambers after all (almost) the champions had been selected.

He noticed how her silky hair seemed to glow orange against the fire light. How even as she kept the most stoic expression, she would still bring a small smile to his face.

Cedric felt anything but guilt at his attraction. And was yearning to find out this girl even more. So he tried, every time he'd spot her at the library or the great hall he'd try desperately to make her look his way. Even if it meant staring at her like a creep for more than 20 seconds.

But at last she never glanced his way.

So, Cedric thought of another plan.

"Hi there!"

Y/N looked up from her book and glared at the person who disrupted her reading.
But her eyes softened as she was met with Cedric's face.

"Hello, is there something you needed?" her accent was clearly heard.

"Um yes, well I noticed you were sitting alone and wondered if you might want some company?"

Y/N looked around her and did notice she was completely alone.

"..Yes that's fine"

"Great!" Cedric beamed.

Cedric set his books down and took a seat in front of her. He smiled at her and noticed the book she was reading.

"From Egg to Inferno: A Dragon Keeper's Guide? Interesting book."

"Oh...yes well just preparing for the task." Y/N responded.

"You know about the task?!" Cedric asked in a hushed whisper.

"Yes, Harry told me a day after the wand weighing."

"Oh." Cedric's smile faltered a bit as he wanted to be the one to tell Y/N about the first task.

"You're book is also quite..interesting."
Y/N said pointing at Cedric's book.

Cedric looked at his book, "Men Who Love Dragons Too Much"

"Oh yeah! Well it's not very useful actually.."

"Okay..."

Cedric noticed it was hard to keep a conversation with the Russian witch. So he changed topics.

"..Do you play any quidditch?"

"Of course! Quidditch is one of my favorite sports, I play seeker for one of the teams back at school!"

"She likes quidditch too?" Cedric thought, As if he couldn't be attracted to this girl even more.

"That's so cool, I also play quidditch here for the Hufflepuff team. I'm actually captain!" Cedric boasted.

"That's very nice, I'm sure you're a great player."

"We should play sometime, just us."

"Yes, we must. When are you available?"

"Oh my god." Cedric thought. "She's practically asking me out!"

"Er..well um w-whenever you are."

"Hmm...maybe we could do it sometime after the first task."

"Oh of course, yes that's a good idea."

"Well, I must be going now. It is a bit late." Y/N said looking at her watch.

"Let me walk you back."

"It's alright I can manage."

"..Okay! Let me help you with these books then."

"Okay."

Cedric and Y/N eventually turned in all the books in their original spots. Once done they bid their fairwells.

"Goodbye Cedric."

"Bye Y/N! Don't forget after the first task."

"Yes,yes." Y/N said as she started walking away.

Cedric looked at the girl retreating and smiled widely to himself.

After a few moments he returned back to the Hufflepuff common room, as he laid back in his bed his final thoughts were on the h/c witch.

That was really really really short I just wanted to give you something but I'm definitely working on the first task chapter. So I guess this is sort of a filler again very short sorry.
