You Know I Love You, Right? (Cedric Diggory x Reader)

Chapter 17

I met up with Harry after Potions, we chatted for a bit and stopped at the Great Hall, sitting on one of the tables.

I decided to finally cut to the chase, "Harry, do you know anything about the second task?"

He shrugged, "I'm sorry I haven't a clue on what it's going to be.  I haven't even looked at my egg since the first task."

I sighed, how on Earth was I supposed to help Cedric now?  I had only a few hours until we'd meet up to figure it out and I had no luck getting any information about the egg.

"It's fine, Harry."

He smiled, and I decided to stir the conversation into another direction.

"So, what do you think about Draco Malfoy?"

"Malfoy?" He sneered, "He's a no good, self loving, idiot..."

Harry rambled for a bit about his hatred for Draco, and I knew right then and there that the two of them were madly in love with each other.

"Ah, would you look at the time," I said, interrupting Harry. "I should best be on my way!"

I waved him goodbye and left for my next class, Defense of the Dark Arts.

Professor Moody was a lenient teacher, he gave us a free period that day, and I spent it researching the Triwizard Tournament, looking for something that could help me help Cedric. Unfortunately, I was unable to find anything.

After class ended I waited for all of the students to leave so I could have a private conversation with Professor Moody.  I knew that out of all of the teachers at Hogwarts, he was the only one who would actually be willing to help me with this matter.  I walked over to his desk as he was sorting his quills, and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Um, Professor Moody...  I have a question."

He looked up at me, fixed his eye and replied, "What's the problem, dear?"

"Well, you see with the second task of the Triwizard Tournament coming up, I was wondering if you knew how to solve the clue from the golden egg."

He smirked, "I know what you're doing, you're trying to find out how to solve the clue so you can help your boyfriend."

"Oh you have the wrong idea, Cedric isn't my boyfriend."

"Cedric?  I'm not talking about Cedric.  I'm talking about Potter.  I saw the two of you together earlier."

My face turned red, "It's nothing like that, we're just friends."

"Whatever you say..."

I grew impatient with Moody.  I asked him a question and now it's become an argument as to whether Harry Potter is my boyfriend or not.

"I just want to know how I can solve the egg!"  I shouted, which came just as a surprise to me as it did to him.

"Alright, alright!"  He groaned, "I can't tell you much, but I will let you know this.  The key is to change the matter."

"That makes absolutely no sense at all!  If you didn't want to help me you could've just said so, now i'm more confused than ever!"  I thundered.

"Think about it this way, what are the types of matter?"

Regaining my composure I responded, "Solid, liquid and gas.  What does that have to do with-"

Moody interrupted, "Okay well, if you've tried opening the egg in one matter and it didn't work, try changing it."
