Ruby Montgomery has always been ten steps ahead of Cedric Diggory. It has always been a heated rivalry between the two, and they never knew why. But somewhere between stolen glances, on-pitch arguments, and a kind of understanding neither of them asked for but things start to shift. The problem? Ruby already belongs to someone else, and Cedric Diggory has never been the type to take what isn't his. - PLEASE NOTE: this story contains: 18+ smut, explicit language, toxicity, sexual language & references, uncomfortable themes. you have been warned. this is a cedric diggory fanfic, however the more i write the more i start to like fred weasley's character in this fanfic. he will be a love interest, but for now he will be minor. it will focus on cedric and ruby. i also don't own any of these characters or plot apart from my own. this fanfic takes place during the goblet of fire.
