the boys of harry potter imagines.

cedric diggory.

"you're a horrible seeker,"
y/n taunted as cedric eyed her,
his smug smile spreading upon setting his sight on her.
"am i? let's not forget who blew the lead for your house last match, y/l."
"uncalled for! i was sick that day. any other match i've caught the snitch right on time,"
she bragged and fixed the scarf around her neck.
"unfortunately, that reigns coming to an end. hufflepuff is going to destroy you and your mates."
"oh yeah? is that a threat, diggory?"
she questioned and got a little closer to his face,
noticing the hint of gold shining in his eyes.
"think of it as a promise,"
he winked and ran his tongue over his lips slowly.
y/n let out a soft scoff and brushed past him,
being sure to make contact with his shoulder and make him stumble back.

"so when are you two going to give up this rivalry and finally be together?"
parvarti patil asked at y/n's side as they walked down the hill to their magical creatures class.
"come again?"
"oh give it up!"
her sister, padma, giggled.
"cedric and i only have one thing in common: quidditch. otherwise, we wouldn't even bat an eye towards each other."
"oh, y/n, he so fancies you!"
"even if he does, diggory and i come from two different worlds. we'd never work! he's a prick, and i'm...well, the opposite of that."
the three girls giggled together as one and linked arms for their class,
lowering their tone to gossip.
***
the game arrived sooner than y/n had anticipated,
and although she was excited to plow through the hufflepuff team,
her body would soon began to pump with nerves.
"y/l, looking as lovely as ever."
"diggory, being as annoying as ever."
they shared a quick laugh together before parting ways to their changing rooms,
preparing for the game ahead.
"did i see you talking to diggory?"
her captain asked,
raising an eyebrow.
"yes?"
"what? are you two like shagging it now?"
y/n let out a loud laugh,
"are you serious? he's a classmate!"
"he's also your competitor!"
"i know!"
"good! i'd hate to lose because you can't keep your personal affairs out of the game!"
"oh shove off, would you? cedric is barely a friend to me! we crack a few jokes and go our separate ways!"
she defended,
rising to her feet in irritation.
"alright! i get it. now, we have a game to win, don't we?"
the captain and the seeker smiled at each other and laughed loudly,
preparing themselves for the win.

y/n soared around on her broomstick and waited for the glint of gold that would appear soon.
"well, y/l, this is it!"
she turned her head to cedric and smiled,
"it is! the last quidditch game you'll ever be allowed to play!"
"oh, confident are we?"
"absolutely!"
she exclaimed and took off on her broom,
keeping her eye on the snitch that was just behind diggory a bit.
she chased and chased and soon felt the boy catch up next to her.
she hurried to extend her hand,
feeling her once sweaty palms come in contact with the slick and chilled ball.

"we won!"
y/n and her teammates cheered,
dancing around and pumping their fists in the air as they touched ground.
she laughed and joked with her friends once they left the changing room,
soon catching the attention of a sulking cedric diggory.
upon seeing her,
he immediately took back to the inside of the changing room.
y/n ran over and walked in,
seeing him with his head against the wall.
"diggory! feeling alright?"
"piss off, y/n."
"oh, not so nice,"
she giggled and walked over to where he stood.
"i'm serious, y/n."
"don't be a sore loser."
cedric looked up at her,
both anger and lust pooling in his eyes.
he pulled himself from off the locker and closed the distance between the two,
pressing her back against the locker.
the kiss was fueled by adrenaline,
meaning cedric kissed her with every amount of hawkishness he could feel.
she let out a gentle moan that reverberated throughout the changing room,
making cedric all the more hungry for her taste.
cedric pulled her body closer to him,
desperate to feel her warmth,
and relished in the goosebumps that were conjuring throughout his body.
y/n's hands raked through his hair while a hand of his own carefully rested against her throat.
the sound of an opening door was barely enough to pull the two apart from each other,
but they did.
y/n cleared her throat and fixed anything that might give their interaction away,
and looked at him with hot cheeks
"well, diggory, i agree. i'll take that into consideration next game."
"yeah, me too,"
he grinned,
completely ignoring his teammate that walked past.
"i-uh-i'll be on my way,"
she smiled.
cedric leaned down into her ear,
"you know how to get into the hufflepuff common room, right?"
"'two from the bottom, middle of the second row' right?"
"and the-"
"yes the song i know!"
she giggled quietly and adjusted the bag on her shoulder,
walking out of the changing room and to the great hall.
***
y/n carefully tip toed throughout the corridors,
finding her way to the hufflepuff common room and doing as she remembered.
once the portrait swung open,
she carefully stepped in and looked around.
yellow poured in from every inch of the place,
the color being rather easy on the eyes.
she admired the plants that hung from the walls and smiled,
the smell of parchment and earthy tones settling deep within her.
"y/n,"
cedric whispered from behind,
lightly pulling on her hand and bringing her into his chest.
cedric, less aggressive this time, connected their lips as one.
she tried to stifle her smile as her eyes closed and the fervent feeling spread through their bodies,
heightening the yearning they felt for each other.
"cedric?"
y/n asked in an unusual tone.
what was once always sarcastic and comedic,
was now soft and rather vulnerable.
"yeah?"
she stood quiet for a moment,
not sure what to say as she played with the ends of her hair in a nervous habit.
"y/n? what is it?"
she let out a loose laugh and laid her head on his chest,
not sure why she craved his security so much.
"do you think this is just...a fluke?"
he looked down at her,
placing a hand to her cheek and running a thumb over her still swollen bottom lip.
"do you want it to be?"
"....no, that's why i'm asking."
"oh,"
he teased and dragged out his letters,
"you like me, don't you? hm? admit it!"
she let out a well-needed laugh and scoffed playfully,
pushing him away from her clutch.
"whatever!"
"but seriously,"
he began and pulled her back to his chest by her waist,
"i like you too. let's make this something worthwhile, yeah?"
she nodded and pulled on her bottom lip,
making cedric laugh almost too loudly.
"you're adorable, did you know?"
"yeah yeah,"
she mocked and threw her arms around his neck,
lining their lips together as one.

the two would go on to be the infamous couple who lasted past their hogwarts years.
and soon became two of the fastest seekers anyone had seen in the quidditch industry,
often competing against each other like they once had done in their schooling years.
