all you need is love - Cedric Diggory

Chapter 2

After classes finish for the day, you make your way to the Great Hall for dinner. On your way there, you bump into Fred and George Weasley. Your favorite twins, "hey guys," you greet them.

"Hey, Aubs," they say in harmony.

"What are you up to?" You ask, genuinely curious. They looked very suspicious at the moment, so you know they were up to something, and you always love to be in on their pranks.

"Oh, we're pranking Filch, he caught us sneaking out last night and gave us detention..." Fred starts.

"...so, for payback, we dyed his cat's hair pink," George continues.

"Won't you guys just get into more trouble?" You question them.

They look at each other and shrug, "watch this," the three of you hide behind a corner. Not even a second passes by before Filch starts running down the hallway, shrieking while holding his now pink cat up in the air. You burst out in laughter and look over at the boys who are doubled over, laughing their arses off. Soon your stomach begins to hurt from laughing so hard.

"How'd you get it such a vibrant pink," you ask with tears in your eyes.

"We got lucky with the color," they say together.

"You guys are mad. Anyways I gotta go, see you," you say, giving them both a quick hug.

You walk into the bathroom, knowing you definitely had smudged your makeup. As you look in the mirror, in the reflection, you see a distressed Hermione walking in, "you alright?" You ask her as you fix your makeup.

She lets out a sigh before answering, "Ron is upset with Harry for not telling him he put his name in the Cup. Harry is angry at Ron for not believing he didn't do it. Now I'm stuck in the middle of a fight between my two best friends. All while Viktor is attempting to get to know me, he doesn't say much, but he's still so sweet. Although I can barely speak to him for five minutes before one of the idiots needs me. It's too much," she says, all in one breath.

"I'm sorry, Hermione. I can't imagine how stressful that must be," you give her a sympathetic smile, "If you want, I could hang out with Harry and Luna with Ron. That way, you and Krum can spend some time together?"

She smiles at you before hugging you tightly. You hug her back, and the two of you stay like that for a while, "thank you, Aubs," she says softly.

"I have to get to dinner, I'll see you later,' you tell her and make your way to the Great Hall.

You take a seat next to Draco, who is in the middle of yelling at Crabbe and Goyle about Merlin knows what. As you wait for him to finish, you fill up your plate and start to eat. You glance over at the Gryffindor table. Ron is sitting with the twins at one end of a table. Harry with Hermione at the other. You couldn't understand how Ron didn't believe his best friend, while yes, it was hard to believe. Harry told Ron everything.

You're taken out of your thoughts by someone tapping your shoulder. You turn around to see Cedric grinning, "yes?"

"Hey love, I was wondering if you'd like to go to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow?" He asks, hopefully.

"And why would I want to do that?"

"I think you'll enjoy yourself," he assures you.

"Well, I was planning on staying in tomorrow," you tell him, and his face falls.

"Are you sure? Because-"

"If I say yes, will you go back to your table?" He nods his head enthusiastically, and you let out a sigh, "alright then, I'll go with you."

A smile grows back on his face, "Great, I'll find you tomorrow. Have a nice night," you watch as he makes his way back to his table. All his mate's eyes were on him, he says something you couldn't quite hear, but after they all cheer and a few pat him on the back. You wondered what he told them, and smiled at the thought of that being their reaction to you saying yes.

After dinner, you and Draco went to your dorm room to do homework together. Well, you were doing homework, Draco was making random objects in your room float. Once you finish your last assignment, you look over at him and laugh softly.

'What's funny, Pattinson?" He asks you.

"You."

"Whatever," he says, and you sit in silence, watching your belongings swim through the air for a while before he speaks again, "what were you and Diggory talking about during dinner?"

"Oh, he wants me to go to Hogsmeade with him," you shrug, and he raises an eyebrow at you.

"You and Diggory, huh? Sad that you and Dawn have horrible taste in boys," he says, shaking his head.

"Says you! You had a thing with Pansy, remember?"

"Don't remind me," he groans, scrunching up his face in disgust.

"Anyways, that could never happen, Mum and Dad want me with a Pureblood Slytherin because only the best for our baby girl," you say, mocking your parents.

Draco laughs, "I know. Our parents are practically the same person. Although I don't think Mum would have a problem if I didn't end up with one," he looks off sadly, and you could tell he was in deep thought. In an attempt to lighten the mood, you throw a pillow at him, instantly regretting it once he looks at you as if he would murder you.

"Watch it, Pattinson."

It was still dark out when you woke up the next morning. You look beside you to see a sleeping Draco. He fell asleep in your room last night, and you knew he hadn't been getting much sleep recently, so you let him be. Trying not to wake him, quietly, you get up and make your way to your bathroom. After a long shower, the sun was beginning to rise once you get back to your room. You stand at your window for a while, admiring the view.

"Sorry for falling asleep in here again," Draco says, getting up.

"No need to apologize," you say as you make your way to your wardrobe, picking out an outfit for today.

"See you later," he says, and he leaves your room.

You throw on a pair of ripped jeans and a mock turtleneck before putting on some light makeup. Satisfied with your reflection, you make your way to the common room. You sit by the fire and pull out your book to waste time before breakfast began. About thirty minutes pass by before your classmates begin leaving their rooms for breakfast.

"Hey, Bree," Dawn says as she makes her way to the couch, "are you coming to breakfast?" She asks.

"Yeah, let's go."
