Warnings: Obsessive Cedric, torture(in the upcoming chapter), Cedric is 17 you are 16), Includes spoilers for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Someone dying( not you or Cedric) You probably think this is cringe but I tried my best, Slight Harry x reader, angst, Harry is kinda a jerk in this but bare with me.

Pairing: Dark Cerdic Diggory x FEM reader

Summary: What would happen if Barty(Jr.) did not only put Harry's name in the goblet but also yours.

Author's note: Y'all I'm sorry if this is cringe, I tried my best, ok?

"The Hogwarts champion, Cedric Diggory!"

The hall filled with the sounds of clasps and cheers, Cedric Diggry, the Hogwarts golden boy had been chosen by the goblet of fire.

His friends and other Hufflepuffs congratulate him as he walks to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore shakes Cedric's hand and congratulates him, as he goes to another room where the rest of the champions are.

"Excellent! We now have our three champions, but in the end, only one will go down in history." Shouted Dumbledore, the students becoming quiet.

"Only one will hoist this chalice of champions, this vessel of victory, The Triwizard Cup!" Said Dumbledore, pointing at the cup as The cloth flew away, revealing it in all its glory.

The hall filled with the sounds of claps once again. Suddenly the goblet of fire's blue flames became stronger, glowing red as 2 sheets of paper came out of it.

Dumbledore slowly walked over to it, catching the 2 small sheets of paper before it touched the ground.

He slowly opened the pair, "Y/N L/N and Harry Potter!" Shouted Dumbledore, as he turned his head to look for the both of you, looking furious.

You were frozen, you did not move an inch of your body, you were frozen in shock, you did not put your name in the Goblet of Fire, and you were still 16, The goblet won't accept your paper if you are under 17!

You looked over at Harry, fear was written all over his face, he was probably thinking the same thing.

You slowly stood up, your legs feeling like jelly. You slowly walked over to Dumbledore as Harry did the same.

You looked around, and you saw people whispering, probably thinking that you asked someone older student than you to put your name in the goblet or that y. You wanted to dig up a hole and bury yourself in it, not wanting anyone to stare at you anymore.

What seemed like a thousand years, you and Harry reached Dumbledore as he handed you your paper.

You opened the paper to see your name written on it. You were confused, who would put your name in the Goblet? It is definitely someone 17 or older since Dumbledore put a spell where only people above 16 can pass, but the only problem is who it was, Who would put you and Harry's name?

You and Harry went to another room where all of the other champions were in. You were scared, you did not like the feeling you were getting right now.

When you and Harry went to another room, You saw Krum, Fleur, and Cedric, who was supposed to be the only Hogwarts champion, but now it was Harry, Cedric, and you.

"Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?! " Shouted Dumbledore as he grabbed Harry by the shoulders. "No sir! "Harry replied."

How about you L/N? did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire!? "Dumbledore said, turning away from Harry, now focusing on you.

"No sir, I didn't! "You replied back. Even if you were 17 you still would not put your name in the Goblet, not wanting to die.

Did any of you ask one of the older students to do it for you? No sir! You and Harry replied back at the same time.

"Are both of you absolutely sure?!" "Yes sir!" You and Harry replied back at the same time again.

"But of course, they are lying!" " The hell they are!"

Said Olympe and Alastor, the Other teachers arguing back.

"The rules are absolute. The Goblet of Fire constitutes a binding magical contract, said Bartemius, turning to look at the both of us. Mr. Potter and Ms. L/N have no choice. They are, as of tonight...a Triwizard Champion", he said, making the other teachers look at you and Harry.

You were horrified, you did not want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament! But what can you do? You have no other choice yet to play and hopefully survive...

"Goodnight to the both of you", said Dumbledore turning his back to the both of you, walking away with the other teachers, still whispering to each other if they should allow us to participate, leaving you, Harry, and the other champions in the room.

You turn to Harry, you never really talked to him before, you just see him walking to class or eating in the great hall. He was in his 4th year at Hogwarts while you were in your 5th year, so you were never really that close.

You were snapped out of your train of thought when you felt a gentle hand on your shoulder. You turned your head to face the person to see no other than Cedric with a concerned face, "What did you do?" asked Cedric, he looked concerned, "Nothing, I did not do anything", I replied back, turning to Harry, "Neither did he", I said, making Harry look at me and then to Cedric.

He let go of my shoulder, taking a few steps back, "Ok then, good night", he said to the both of us, before walking away.

I watched him walk way silently, before turning back to Harry, 'Did Dumbledore hurt you? Huh?'

'Your shoulders', I pointed, "he grabbed it remember? It looked like it hurt", you said.

You felt awkward, you did not know what to say to him, you just wanted to have a good relationship with him for now, knowing the both of you would face hatred from the other students, so at least you had each other right?

"No, it's fine don't worry" " he replied, "Oh that's good", you said nodding, turning your head away from him.

"I- um... Good night," he said, walking away from you," Oh uh, goodnight!" You said with a smile, well that was awkward, you sighed, I should really go to bed, you left the room, now going to your common room.

the next day came, and you were beside Harry, smiling the best you could, you were holding that smile for so long that your cheeks were starting to hurt. When will this photo-taking be over, you thought, getting irritated by the second.

The blonde lady walked closer to where all of you were standing. "What a charismatic quartet", she said, becoming silent once again.

You side-eyed Harry, cursing the person who put your name in the goblet.

"Hello!" Said the lady, walking even closer, reaching her hand over to Cedric, which he took, shaking hands with her.

"I'm Rita Skeeter", she said, now handing her hand out to the other champions, shaking it with excitement.

"I write for a Daily Prophet, But of course, you know that don't you? It's you we don't know, she said with a chuckle, you're the juicy news, what quirks beneath those rose cheeks?" She said touching Fleur's cheek before giving it a light slap, "What mysteries do the muscles mask?" She said now walking over to Cedric, ruffling his hair, Does "courage lie beneath those curls", walking in between Harry and Cedric.

"In short, what makes a champion tick? Me, myself, and I want to know. Not to mention my rapid readers", laughing to her self.

"So, who's feeling up to share? Mh?" She asked, looking at all of us, waiting for a volunteer.

"Shall we start with the girl beside the boy?" Lovely, she said before gabbing your arm and dragging you to another room.

She pushed you inside, before closing the door halfway. Rita looks around the small and tight room, "mh, this is cozy", she said, "it's a broom cupboard", you replied back, getting a little nervous.

"You should feel right at home then", she says before guiding you towards the stairs as she walks down.

"Don't mind if I use a Quick-Quotes Quill, do you"? "No not at all", you replied, sitting down on the stair case.

"So tell me, Y/N. Here you sit a mere girl of 12"-

the quill started to write on the notebook by itself, which is not really surprising, considering other magical stuff you have seen.

"I'm 16, you interrupted making her close her eyes in irritation before continuing to speak:

-"About to compete against four students, not only vastly more emotionally mature than yourself. But you have mastered spells that you wouldn't attempt in your dizziest daydreams".

Rita said before the quill pointed at you, waiting for an answer, "I- um...I never really thought about it", you said, getting even more nervous.

"Just ignore the quill", Rita said making you look away from the Quill now facing her.

"Then, of course, you're no ordinary girl of 12, are you?"

"16"-

"Is it true that you asked someone older than you to put your name in the Goblet?" She continued, "No, I did not and I don't even know why anyone would put my name in the goblet. Maybe for revenge or something? Well can't really be that reason since I did not do anything to anyone"-

She gasped, "Of course, you didn't". she said before smiling at you and giving you a wink.

"Everyone loves a rebel Y/N", she continued, before chuckling again. Scratch that last, she said turning to the Quill, making the Quill erase it.

Speaking of your parents, "How would they feel? Proud or concerned, That their child joined such a dangerous tournament, so dangerous in fact that people died"-

"I did not join"-

"How would they feel if their daughter died in the tournament? What would they do?"

"Why are you asking me this?"

Her questions were getting more and more concerning, it was making you feel uncomfortable. You cursed that person who put your name in the goblet, how you wish to punch them square in the face.

"Do you think you will win this tournament Y/N?"

She asked, with a serious look on her face, the Quill stops writing waiting for an answer, making you feel pressured

You thought about it for a moment, Would you survive? You were not really sure, you never really thought about it.

"I will do my best. Even If I lose, at least I tried, right?"

"Mh, ok then", Rita said, the quill continued writing, "you may leave now Y/N", said Rita.

You stood up from the staircase, dusting the dirt and dust off your robe.

"By the way, Please call Cedric, it's his turn."

You nodded at Rita, turning away from her as you went back to the other room.

You grabbed the door of the cupboard, opened it slowly, and walked out, feeling relieved that you left that suffocating room.

You walked over to the other champions, they were just waiting there, so quiet.

"Cedric, she's calling you."

He looked at you, oh ok, he replied, he looked as nervous as I was. He started to walk away going inside the dark broom cupboard.

"How was it?" Asked Harry, that was his first time starting a conversation with you, "It was pressuring", you replied, sighing before standing beside him. "Why did this happen to us?" you turned to Harry, asking him the same question he had been thinking the whole night.

"I don't know", he said, before becoming silent again, so silent that you could hear him breathing, so silent that you could hear the muffled voices of Rita asking Cedric Questions.

"I'm sorry this stuff happened to you", you said to Harry, he looked at you, "What do you mean?" "I mean that I feel bad for you, bad things always happen to you, and I feel terrible about it. I remember in your 2nd year, the whole school was terrified of you when you spoke parseltongue."

"It's fine, I'm kind of used to it by now", he said giving you a small smile.

You smiled back at him, you would pray for this boy to have a great life, where no more problems would face him ever again, just a good and happy life.

...

You were walking down the stairs, trying to walk as carefully as you can, making sure that you won't fall when the stairs suddenly move.

"Hey Y/N", you heard your name, you stopped walking, turning your head to where the voice was coming from.

You saw Harry, running towards you, he looked like he was in a rush.

"Hello Harry, how are you?", he stopped running in front of you catching his breath, looking around before saying the first task is dragons, he said before looking at you with a serious face, now breathing heavily, "W-what?" " The dragons are the first task, they've got one for each of us."

He explained to me what happened with him and Hagrid. "Promise not to say to anyone, "Got it?" Said Harry waiting for me to reply to him, "Got it but...How about Cedric, should we tell him?" Harry looked down for a moment, lost in thought before saying.

"You tell him, you are closer to him anyway" Said Harry looking around once again if anyone is near us. Ok then, you agreed, "when though?" You asked, "Any time", replied Harry, before leaving.

So the first task is dragons? You asked yourself before walking down the stairs again. You sighed, if the first task is really Dragons, how much harder will be the next tasks? You groaned just by thinking about it. And why would Harry tell you what the first task is? You were not really sure if Harry was telling the truth. Well, what to do? If the task really is dragons then you are for sure gonna die.

...

You were walking in the halls looking for Cedric to tell him what the first task is.

You ignored the students laughing at you, calling you "a cheat" and saying mean stuff to you, wearing badges saying that "Y/N stinks" or " Y/N is a cheater".

You continued waking until you finally saw the brown-headed boy sitting with friends. You started walking towards them. His friends saw you, they started to laugh and bully you. Cedric, I need to talk to you, you said, once again ignoring the mean comments, "about what?" Cedric replied sitting up and looking at you with confusion, "Just come with me", you said before grabbing his arm and taking him away from his friends.

"Cedric If Y/N confesses to you, reject her, don't want ya to date a cheat"! One of his friends said before laughing with the other guys.

"Fuck off!" You shouted, making them go silent for a split second before laughing again and mocking you. "Jerks..."You whispered to yourself, dragging Cedric to a more private place to tell him "the news".

You stopped walking, looking around before whispering, Dragons are the first task, you said, looking around once again making sure nobody heard you. "Are you serious?" Cedric asked. You nodded, And Harry and the others do they...?

"Yes", you replied, - "Come on Ced, leave her!" said one of his friends.

I need to go now, you said to Cedric, walking away as fast as you could trying to run away before more students made fun of you.

"Hey, listen"-

Cedric grabbed your hand before you could walk away any further. "About the badges, I've asked them not to wear them, but"-

Don't worry about it.

'You said giving him a soft smile, you sure'? Cedric asked softly, still holding your hand. 'Yeah, it's fine', you replied before walking away, making Cedric let go of your hand.

...

Today was the day when you were gonna do the first task, which was the dragons, thanks to Harry telling you.

You were in a large tent with the other champions, preparing yourself for the first task.

"Are you ready?" asked Harry, "Of course not" " you replied, putting on your gloves. "Are you?" You asked, looking at him, '"no..." He replied looking away, you chuckled, smiling at him as you grabbed his shoulder, whatever happens, don't die out there, alright?

Harry smiled at you, right, he said, you should put on your gloves, you need them, you said, "Oh right" he said walking away, looking for his gloves.

You can hear students cheering for the champions, you are nervous, and you do not want to embarrass yourself in front of a bunch of people, you have never gone face-to-face with a dragon before. hopefully, you won't be burned to death-

"Y/N, are you alright?" You turned your head only to face Cedric, "Yeah I am, hopefully, I won't die", you said, awkwardly laughing before falling silent." I just want to say good luck and please be careful out there", said Cedric with a worried look, "Don't worry I will", you replied, placing your hand on his shoulder, and giving him a smile.

*CLICK*

You and Cedric both turned your guy's heads over at where the sound came from, only to see Rita with her cameraman.

"Young love", said Rita walking over to the both of you. "How...stirring", said Rita pointing at her Quill that started to write.

"If everything goes unfortunately today, you two may even make the front page."

"We're not dating, we're just friends", you said to Rita, letting go of Cedric's shoulder, "Are you sure? It sure does not look like it", Rita said smirking.

"You should leave", you looked over to your left side, surprised to see Krum, "this tent is for Champions", said Krum to Rita.

Rita smiled at Krum, "no matter what. We've got what we wanted", she said the Quill brushing its feather on his face, making Krum move away.

*CLICK*

The photographer took another photo, walking away with Rita.

Suddenly, Dumbledore entered the tent, "Good day champions! Gather around, please". He said making all of us surround him. "Now, you've waited, you've wondered, and at last, the moment has arrived", said Dumbledore, making the other headteachers come in.

"A moment only five of you can fully appreciate", said Dumbledore, turning to Bartemius, "Barty the bag", said Dumbledore, making Barty go in front of Dumbledore, "Champions, in a circle around me", said Barty making us go closer to him.

Miss Delacour, over here, he said grabbing Fleur and putting her on the opposite side, Mr. Krum, over here, making him stand beside Fluer. "And Potter, Mr. Potter, over here, Bart said, pulling Harry beside me.

"Now, Miss Delacour", you will, Barty said, handing her the bag, smoke coming out of it. Fleur put her hand inside, flinching at its heat, before taking it out to put the dragon in her hand, "The Welsh green", said Barty, now handing the bag to Krum, he put his hand in, pulling out the dragon, "the Chinese fireball"l, said Barty, now handing the bag to Cedric, he pulled out a yellow dragon, "The Swedish Short-snout", said Barty, now handing the bag to you.

You put your hand inside, pulling it out to see a copper dragon, 'The Peruvian Vipertooth", said Barty now handing the bag to Harry, which leaves...Said Barty, knowing that Harry would get the most dangerous dragon, the horntail, whispered Harry, What's that boy? Said Barty, Nothing, replied Harry.

Harry pulled out the dragon now standing on his palm, "The Hungarian Horntail", said Barty.

This represents five very real dragons, each of which has been given a golden egg to protect, your objective is simple: Collect the egg, this you must do, for each egg contains a clue, without which you cannot hope to proceed to the next task, Any question? Said Barty

Very well, Good luck, champions. Said Dumbledore, Mr. Diggory, at the sound of the cannon, you may-

Before Dumbledore could continue, the cannon fired, making people jump, the crowd outside shouting, chanting "DIGGORY"

Good luck, you said to Cedric. He looked at you, giving you a nod before walking out of the tent.

...

One by one, each champion got their turn to fight their dragon. Good thing they survived, they just got some injuries but they are still fine.

it was only you and Harry left, both of you were just sitting on your bed, waiting for your turn.

L/N you're up, said Barty to you. You sighed, before standing up, exciting the tent.

Y/N Y/N Y/N Y/N!

People around you chanted your name. You had a little confidence, knowing that your dragon is the smallest breed, but knowing that it's also one of the most vicious dragons, made you lose that confidence that you just got.

You saw the egg on the other side, you just ran as fast as you could, grab it, and go, that's all you had to do...Hopefully.

You took a few steps, looking around for your dragon. Nothing, you saw no signs of your dragon.

Where could it be-

You were caught off by a loud roar, The crowd screaming, You started to run, getting closer and closer to the egg, when your dragon stood in front of it, roaring at you.

You were gonna die, you knew it.

...

You were in pain, unbearable pain. When you successfully got the egg your dragon breathed fire, getting you burned on your left arm.

You were getting treated by the school nurse, Poppy Pomfrey. "It's a second-degree burn", said Poppy, applying medicine to it.

Ow! You hissed in pain, she sighed, putting the medicine down and wrapping your arm with bandages.

"It would take a long time to heal", said Poppy before standing up and packing the medicine. You groaned at what she said. She sighed, not bothering to look at you, still busy packing the medicines and bandages.

The doors to the Hospital wing opened, Y/N!, shouted Cedric, running towards you. Does no one knock before they enter anymore? Said Poppy, sighing to herself, kids these days...

Cedric reached you breathing heavily, Are you okay? he asked with a worried face, I'm fine, it's not a big of a deal, you said, "I think it was a big deal from how you were groaning in pain". said Poppy walking away to put the medicine back in the cabinet.

You groaned, looking away in embarrassment. "Hey, don't be embarrassed, you did great!" "Really"? You replied, making Cedric chuckle, "Yes, you did"

You gasped, remembering Harry, How is Harry? Is he okay? did he got the egg? Cedric's smile turned into a frown, Yah his ok, just got a few scratches here and there, said Cedric grabbing a chair, placing it beside you, and sitting on it.

Well, that's good to hear you say to him smiling. You know I was worried when you got hurt, "I thought you died for a split second, I thought that the dragon burned your entire body, good thing you moved away in time."

"Yeah good thing I did", you said sighing, laying your back on the bed. "You should rest now as much as possible and uh...you know the prefect's bathroom on the fifth floor?", you nodded, getting confused about what he was trying to tell you. He leaned forward, "it's not a bad place for a bath, just take your egg and mull things over in the hot water", whispered Cedric, pulling away, before standing up, "I need to go now, Bye Y/N", "I-um Bye?" Getting confused about what Cedric just told you.

You watch Cedric leaving the Hospital wing. It was you and Ms.Poppy now, no one else but you and her. "I think that boy likes you", said Poppy out of nowhere, "What? What do you mean?" You questioned, "I mean this boy who just entered is in love with you, I can see it in his eyes", said Poppy making tea for herself. "That can't possibly be true". "We are only friends and I see him as a brother", you explained, "Not to him, he sees you differently Y/n, you're just too blind to see it". Said Poppy, pouring the tea in her cup.

You sighed, If it's true that Cedric really likes you, you have to reject him since you only see him as an older brother, nothing else. You did not want to break Cedric's Heart, he was nice to you from the beginning, same with Harry.

You sighed, this is so complicated...

...

it's been a few weeks ever since the 1st task, your arm has almost healed, but you can't move it too much, or else it will hurt. You already took a bath in the prefect's bathroom on the 5th floor, like what Cedric had told you to do. You have found out what the clue was, it was pretty difficult at first, not knowing what to do in the water, when you accidentally dropped the egg, making you go underwater to get it, only to hear singing coming out from it. You already sent a letter to Harry, about the egg and what to do, making Harry send you a letter back, saying that he was thankful because he could not figure it out. The yule dance was coming up, you were not getting too excited knowing that you didn't have a dress to wear yet, and what made it worse was that the champions must have a date for the yule ball because it is "tradition".

Cedric visited you every morning in the hospital wing, while Harry visited you every night. One of the days when Harry was visiting you, you kinda developed a tiny crush on him. His dark brown hair, his eyes, his smile. You liked everything about him.

You entered your dorm and lay on your bed, sighing to yourself. What to do now? You thought, sitting up and facing the window, looking at the lake.

You squinted your eyes, you saw something coming far away. It came closer and closer, you widened your eyes, surprised to see your house owl flying towards you dorm window with a package in its mouth.

You moved away, making your owl land on your window, giving you the package, "thanks" you said to owl, making it fly back home.

You looked at the package in your hands, it was wrapped in gold gift wrap, with a ribbon on it. You sat on your bed, removing the ribbon, and unwrapping the package.

You saw a letter, you grabbed it, opened it, and read it.

Dear Y/N, I heard the Yule ball was coming soon, And I realized that you did not have a dress to wear, so here is the dress I made you. I hope you like it since it took me weeks to Finnish it. -With love, Mom.

You smiled at the letter, putting it down beside you. You grabbed the dress inside the package, it was beautiful. It was the color blue, with fine stitching around the corset area.

You smiled at the dress, standing in front of a mirror, putting the dress on your dress, and imagining you wearing it. "It's perfect" You breathed out smiling to yourself.

You placed the dress on your bed, looking for a quill and paper. Once you found one you wrote a letter back to your mother.

Dear Mom,

I have received your gift, it's amazing! Thank you for making this for me since I was having a problem looking for dresses. Tell Dad that I said hi!

-Y/N

You put it in an envelope, giving it to your owl, before it flew away, now going to your parent's house.

You sat on your bed, looking at the dress before sighing, Now all you need is a date...

...

You were walking around Hogwarts. It was 1 week before the Yule Ball with happen, and you still don't have a date.

While walking you saw boys asking out the girls from Beauxbatons, wishing that It would be that easy to get someone to ask you out.

You were irritated, you did not want to ask anyone out, you were scared for rejection, wanting them to go to you first.

"Ugh, this sucks", You said to yourself, with a frown on your face. "Hey Y/N", You stopped walking, turning your body to face the person behind you. "Oh hi Harry" Harry was standing in front of you, looking nervous yet excited. "I need to ask you something..." He said, giving you a smile.

"Oh, yah what's up?" You questioned, Harry opened his mouth, before closing it hesitantly, before opening it again. "I-I um, Do you want to go to the ball with me?" He asked, waiting for a response.

"Oh, sure" You replied, giving him a smile. He sighed in relief, "Ok then, see you there" Said Harry walking away, smiling to himself.

You watched him walk away, silently blushing when he was out of sight.

...

The great hall was filled with the sounds of students laughing, the clangs of forks and spoons on the plate. You were eating your food, your friend beside you, eating as well.

"Hey, Y/n did you get a date to the prom yet?" asked your friend, turning to you. "Yeah I did, I'm going with Harry" you replied, taking another bite of your food. " I knew you guys were gonna go together!" Your friend whispered-shouted, nudging your shoulder, making the food that was once on your spoon fall back on the plate.

"What do you mean by "You knew"? You asked, turning to her. "You guys seemed pretty close, so I assumed that you would go with him to the Yule ball!" she explained, before taking a bite out of her mashed potatoes.

Were you guys really that close? You and Harry barely talked, but you still felt comfortable with him. But he was nothing but kind to you, even if you guys did not know each other that well.

"Yeah I guess you're right' You replied, your friend squealed, happy that her friend got a date with someone. "Oh! And how about your dress? Did you have one yet"? She asked, staring at you, 'Yah, my mom sent one for me" You replied, taking a spoonful of your food, "Really?! Can I see it?" She asked, with her "puppy dog eyes" that looked really bad. "You will see in 2 days" You replied, "Oh come one Y/N! I want to see it!" Your friend said, "I want it to be a surprise" You said, "Fine" Your friend said, huffing, as she took a bite of her mashed potatoes again.

...

It was the day before the yule ball, you were preparing everything. You were preparing your dress and your shoes. Thinking about what hairstyle would suit you.

"Hey Y/N?" Your roommate called, "Yea?" you replied hanging your dress. "I got a letter for you, but I don't know who it's from. There's no name or anything" Said your roommate, handing the letter to you.

You looked at the envelope, it was just plain brown, nothing written on it. You opened it carefully, trying not to rip the letter inside of it.

You looked at the letter, reading what it said.

Dear Y/N, How are you? Are you doing ok? I heard that you your got a date with Harry. Believe it or not, I wanted to ask you to be my date, but I guess I was too late... But don't worry, sooner or later I will get you back, I just have to be patient, like how I was always been, like how I waited for to notice me. Anyway, I have to go, see you tomorrow. -With love, Secret Admirer.

You read the letter over and over again, getting more and more uncomfortable. "What did it say?" Your roommate asked, You hand her the letter, making her read it, with shock in her eyes. "You should stay away from this person," Your roommate said, handing the letter back to you, "Like I know who they are," You said, sarcasm in your voice. You crumpled the letter throwing it in the trash.

"Hopefully it's a prank, just someone wanting to mess with your head" Said your roommate, giving you a concern look.

"Hopefully", you replied, sighing to yourself.

You were scared to go to the Yule ball now. You wanted to cancel your date with Harry but you did not want Harry to feel bad.

You sighed, lying on your bed. You hoped whoever sent that letter to you just wanted to pull a prank on you.

...

"You look beautiful Y/n," Said your roommate, "Thanks" You replied, smiling before combing your hair, making sure that you looked the best. "You look beautiful as well" You said, making your roommate grin, "Just wait until I fix my hair, I will be looking like a star" Your roommate said before jokingly posing, bursting out laughing.

"I think I'm done," you said, giving a little spin in front of the mirror, "You look perfect!" Your roommate exclaimed, going behind, placing both of her hands on both of your shoulders, smiling at you.

"We should go, it's almost 8:00 p.m, We might be late. " Your roommate said, grabbing your arm before pulling you out of your dorm as she drags you to the great hall.

"Slowdown!" You shouted at your roommate, making you almost trip on the stairs.

You both reached the entrance to the great hall, making your roommate finally let you go. "I almost fell because of you," You said to your roommate, 'Sorry" she whispered.

"Where's your date"? She asked, "I don't know, his probably running a bit late" You replied.

While you waited for a couple of minutes, getting nervous, thinking that "He might have ditched you" or "He forgot that the dance was today"

"Do you see him yet?" You asked, "Nope" your roommate replied. Making you even more nervous.

...

"It's almost 8:00," You said to your roommate, "Yah, it is" She replied, giving you a sad look.

You looked around, you saw the other champions with their does, smiling and everything. Making you quite jealous.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Harry shouted, running down the stairs. You sighed in relief, watching him run down the stairs, his hair slightly messy.

"It's fine" You replied, reaching your hand to his hair, fixing it. 'There you are Mr. Potter, are you and Ms. L ready?" asked Professor McGonagall, "Ready for what Professor?," asked Harry, "To dance, it's traditional that the 3 champions, well in this case five, are the first to dance. Surely I told you that" Said Professor McGonagall. "No" Harry said, "Oh- well now you know" Said Professor McGonagall, scratching the back of her neck before walking away as she tells the champions to line up.

You and Harry stood behind Krum and Hermione, holding Harry's arm. "I'm so nervous," You said to Harry, having a nervous smile. You did not hear Harry respond to you. You looked over to Harry, "Harry"? You called out to him again. "Oh-Uh yah?" He looked at you, "Why are you silent?" You asked, "Oh nothing" He replied, looking away.

The doors of the great hall opened, You walked towards the center with Harry, following the rest of the champions. People applaud, clapping and waving at the champions.

You stood in the center with Harry and the other champions, ready to dance.

"Harry take my waist" You whispered to Harry, "What?" He asked, the music started playing, making you grab his hand and put it on your waist.

Harry kept on stepping on your foot, he clearly did not know how to dance, making you guide him. "You're doing great Harry", you said realising he was not stepping on your foot anymore. He did not reply, looking somewhere else. 'Harry?" You called out to him again. He still did not answer, you followed his eyes, leading it to Cho, dancing with Cedric.

Realization hits you like getting hit by a truck. You looked back at Harry and back to Cho, making sure that you were not daydreaming. You were heartbroken. Why did he even ask you if he liked Cho?

The other students joined the champions, dancing with their partners. Smiles on their faces, while a frown on yours. Tears were threatening to fall down from your eyes.

The music stopped, making the students confused. Rock music started playing, making the students laugh and started to dance with each other.

You looked back at Harry, he was still looking at Cho. "I need to go" You said to Harry, removing your hand from Harry's shoulder, walking away

Harry looked at you, "What why?" he asked following you, "Get away Harry" you said, not turning to him since your face was filled with tears.

"The ball just started, why are you acting like this?" He asked, grabbing your hand. You turned to him, with a shocked face. "Are you really asking me why I am acting like this?" You asked him, getting angry. "Yeah, I am!" said Harry, "Why were you looking at Cho?" You asked, "What?" He questioned, "Don't act surprised Harry, I saw you looking at her"You said, "I...I'm sorry Y/N" He said looking down, "I'm sorry but I only asked you since Cho rejected me, she liked Cedric and she was planning on asking him. So I decided to ask you instead" Admitted Harry. You looked at him in shock, he only asked you since Cho rejected him, not because he liked you, but because you were the second option. "Get lost Harry," You said, turning your back away from him, and walking back to your room.

Harry watched you walk away, not bothering to run after you, knowing that he messed up.

...

You changed out of your dress, brushed your teeth, and washed your face, before you laid down on your bed, hugging your pillow as you quietly cried.

The room was filled with the sounds of your cries and sniffles. You looked at your clock. 8:23 PM.

The ball does not end until midnight, and here you are, crying on your bed.

You just wanted your bed to engulf you, making you drown in it's warm, comfortable touch.

You did not hate Cho, she was one of your friends before you were in year 3. But you guys are not close anymore, since you got busy with classes and other stuff.

Yet you still felt hurt, now knowing what to feel for her.

You groaned, turning to your side, and pushing your face on the pillow. You don't want to see Harry anymore, you officially hate him and you wish that you never talked to him when both of you got picked.

...
