Cedric's POV:

I took off to find y/n when I spotted her in the grand hall putting her name into the goblet of fire. This was the perfect opportunity to start up a conversation, "Hey y/n!" she abruptly turned around as she dropped her name in, she looked startled and confused "erm hi?" she responded.

I walked up and stood right next to her "So you're signing up for the tournament too?" I asked to get some small talk going "Yeah I am" she responded looking as if she didn't want to talk to me. "Look I know i've been probably giving you some really odd looks for a while, and i'd like to apologize" y/n's face instantly lit up as if she was waiting for an apology.

She smiled as I went on "I'm really sorry for it and I was wondering if we could start over?" she smiled and nodded "Yes i'd appreciate that a lot" she responded, I smiled and was struggling to think of another subject to bring up when quidditch popped up in my head.

"We should go check the quidditch results! I haven't yet we can go see if either one of us got in!" y/n looked beyond confused and began to speak "Quidditch results? But I never signed up for quidditch." I totally forgot about y/n's memory loss for a second so I tried to think of a lie to tell her.

"Oh that's right! When we were practicing you fell off your broom and had hit your head, so you probably don't remember!" her face became intrigued "Is that so? It seems like something i'd do" y/n laughed "Well then yes let's go see if we got in then." she finished as she turned around to start walking out of the grand hall with me.

Even with y/n being unlike herself and having memory loss her laugh was still just as magical and her smile could light up any room, I missed being able to kiss her and hold her hand, it was torture not being able to do so.

As we walked out of the grand hall I caught sight of Draco and a rush of adrenaline and panic coursed through me, I didn't know what to do and couldn't let y/n see him. "Ohmm why don't we go this way!" I said grabbing onto y/n's hand and pulling down an empty corridor. She let out a gasp as I jolted her into the corridor.

"What are we doing?" she said as we entered the corridor "uh- erm.. It's a short cut!" I said turning behind me to see that Draco had gone. "A shortcut? It's a dead end Cedric" when she said that she was looking up at me with beady eyes. We were so close to each other the tension in the air became too much to bear.

I wanted to kiss right then and there but I knew that would've startled her. "Oh...my mistake I thought this was the right hallway to the quidditch field" I said looking back into her eyes. It was almost like she wanted to kiss me too...

The tension grew thicker, as I stared into her eyes I noticed that they had grown less dilated and were barely pink, was the spell wearing off? And just like that a platinum haired boy walked directly past the corridor, Draco.

But thankfully he hadn't seen us, but y/n saw him. Instantly her eyes dilated and were bright pink *Shit..* I thought. Y/n's body jolted away from me and she was trying to get to Draco, if it weren't for me holding onto her hand this whole time I would've lost her.

"Wait!" I called out, I was panicked as to not lose her "We haven't checked to see the results yet!" she turned back to me "Oh your right! Lets go do that" she responded. I wave of relief passed through me *that was a close one* I thought.

After a little while we finally arrived at the quidditch pitch and there was Oliver Wood, he was practicing hitting a bludger when he saw us out of the corner of his eye. He quickly caught the bludger rather than hitting it and he put it back in its box with the other quidditch balls.

"Oi! y/n, Cedric!" he called out with a smile on his face, "Looking for the results?" he asked walking towards us "There outside of the girl's locker room, mate" he said as he met face to face with us "Thank you mate!" I responded "I'm pretty sure you both got in, you were both bloody brilliant so I wouldn't be surprised!" I smiled and so did y/n.

"Aw thank you Oliver" y/n said "Of course!" he responded with a smile. y/n and I walked off of the field and headed towards the girl's locker room. As we walked there I could feel my face turning pink, I remembered what had recently gone down in there and it made me blush terrybly.

Luckily y/n hadn't noticed, she was so clueless and it was only making me blush more. We continued walking until we reached the girls locker room and there was a paper just before the entrance and it read.

"Woah! You got a seeker y/n!" I said nudging her, her facial expression was shocked and excited before she responded "YOUR KIDDING!" she yelped as she looked at me and then back at the paper. "THAT'S SO COOL! I don't know how I got that position but i'm not complaining!" she said still with a big smile on her face.

"And you got a good position too! You're a beater!" she said, turning to hug me. This caught me off guard and I went wide eyed, I stood there for a moment before going to hug her back, I decided to flirt just a little figuring it was the right time "Yeah, now I can do my best to protect you on the field" I said, still hugging her.

I didn't even need to see her face to know that she was blushing, "Yes you sure can" I could tell that made her nervous in a good way. We pulled out of the hug and the same tension from before returned as we made eye contact. Once again her eyes were a faint pink and were barely dilated.

We both stood there in each other's embrace, she looked from my eyes to my lips, as did I. She came up onto her tippy toes and turned her head slightly into mine. My head too turned to the side as we both slowly leaned in, our lips grazed one anothers and my heart was racing.

Before we heard someone clear their throat, the same platinum haired boy was there except now he did see us. "And just what do you think you're doing?" Draco said, directing the question towards me. My body had never filled with more blood boiling anger then now.

I could pummel him into the ground without hesitation, if it weren't for Hermione's words repeating in my head. I composed my anger and took a deep breath. "Oh Nothing Malfoy, there was just something in y/n's eye that's all" I said with a snarky tone. Y/n once again fell under the trance Malfoy had put her under and she walked towards him placing a kiss on his cheek.

It was torture seeing her kiss him, I had never felt this much pain and anger in my life before than now, knowing how he was manilpulating her like a doll against her own will. It was disgusting, he devilishly smirked at me as she kissed him.

My heart felt as if it could fall out of me. "So why are you over here then Malfoy?" I asked, trying to distract myself from the pain. "I'm checking the quidditch results too Diggory" he said putting his arm around y/n taunting me.

He turned to y/n "Let's go check them together shall we?" he said to her as they turned to walk away. Draco now knew that I knew what he did to her. And without wasting another second and bolted to the gryffindor tower to see if Hermione had found a cure yet.
