summary: In an AU where Cedric survives the Triwizard tournament, but has trauma from it, y/n has to help him through a panic attack caused by his claustrophobia.
a/n: mentions what happened to Cedric in the maze in detail, mentions claustrophobia, and implied panic attack
Tumblr media
Cedric would never be the same after the Triwizard Tournament.
Not everything had changed. He was still the same loyal and compassionate boy you’d always loved, but he would never be as carefree as he once was. Slowly, his hair had been growing out; nothing major, but just enough to cover his eyes. His sleep pattern was in a downward spiral too. Almost every night, he had grim nightmares about what happened during the tournament, and it caused him to fall asleep in his classes often. He confessed to you the terrifying memories he had from the maze. You could remember in great detail when he told you about the suffocating tunnels of ivy that surrounded him as he tried to move through the maze, making it almost impossible to breathe. The experience was suffocating. He was even more scared by the overgrown roots that wrapped around him and attempted to carry him away from the cup. He clawed at them, screaming in terror for help, but nothing he could do on his own would fight them off. Now, if he got his shoe caught on something as simple as his shoelace, it would make him turn ghostly pale, getting flashbacks to the moment he could’ve lost his life.
Despite what he went through, he kept exceptional grades and still had his friends. For him, maintaining his grades wasn’t a surprise. Not only were his professors very understanding, but studying was one of the few things he could do without ever having to think about what happened that day. He was much more surprised to discover that his friends still loved him, and that he was still as popular as always. He thought his friends would be disappointed in him, but like the incredible friends they were, they adored him just as much, and respected him for the hardship he went through. More than anything, he was glad you still loved him, even if he would never be exactly the same.
However, attention and popularity were no longer what made him feel whole. When people circled him to talk to him, it often scared him. After what happened in the maze, Cedric had intense claustrophobia, and even standing in a crowded room could set him off.
After every dark thing that happened, the only real thing he could find solace in was you, his beloved support system. You knew this, and made it a point to check on him daily, especially if he didn’t talk to you for a day. That’s how you knew when it was a dreadful day for him.
Today was different. Classes were over for the day, and you hadn’t seen him once. You thought maybe it was just a coincidence you didn’t see him in the halls, but when he didn’t show up to your shared History of Magic class, you grew worried. You’d asked around about him for what felt like hours, and eventually one of his friends told you they’d seen Cedric go to his dormitory.
You contemplated what could’ve happened as you entered the Hufflepuff common room. The smell of sweets wafted through the air, and the syrupy scent filled your nose. Usually, you loved to admire the soft yellow furniture and warm lighting, but today you went straight for the boys' dorm. You pushed open the ancient creaky oak door to Cedric’s dorm, and the scene felt all too familiar to you. Before the tournament, Cedric often invited you over, but that was becoming rare as time went on. You knew he still loved you, but it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to reach out to anyone, even just to chat.
You opened the door to find Cedric on the wood floor, sitting next to his bed, with his knees to his chest. You rushed over, quickly closed the door behind you, and sat with him.
For a while, he didn’t say anything, he just softly cried. His cheeks were red, and his breathing was shallow. His favorite gold Hufflepuff sweater had droplets of water across the front from his salty tears. You wanted to engulf him in your arms, but you knew he needed his space.
“I can’t believe what I did,” he finally said, breaking the silence. The tears in his throat were audible and heartbreaking. “A group of people tried talking to me, and I just snapped,” he’s barely able to choke out the words as he begins to sob into your shoulder.
“I know Ced, it’s okay,” you say as you brush your fingers through his soft overgrown honey hair.
“I just snapped,” he says between sobs. “They were all standing so close, and I couldn’t breathe, and all I could think about was that stupid maze.” The words leave his mouth in a quick spiral, and once they’re out he grabs you like if he doesn’t, you’ll vanish. “I shouted at them,” he says, sounding dejected. Even if those students never remembered it, he was too sweet not to blame himself.
“Cedric Diggory,” you say in a strong, but concerned tone, “no one is mad at you. The people here are considerate enough to understand what you went through, and if they can’t understand it, then maybe they deserve to be yelled at.” He doesn’t respond to you, but he holds on to you a little tighter, and presses his face into your neck. His warm, soft lips meet your skin and plant a small kiss on you, and you can feel his wet, tear-stained cheeks brush against you. “Why don’t we get you some food? You’ll feel much better,” you earnestly suggest. He moves away from your neck, keeping a firm grip on your body. Despite his disheveled appearance, he sends you a grin that makes you feel like the sun has just come out after a long winter. He nods his head in agreement and stands up with you. You watch as he fixes his hair, and changes his clothes to go down to the great hall with you. When his shirt is off, you see his sculpted, toned body, and you can’t help but giggle. He blushes, and a soft shade of pink takes over his face. He sends you a wink and quickly puts on another shirt. It seemed like Hufflepuff’s golden boy was making a return.
Once you’re out of the Hufflepuff common room he takes you by the hand and twirls you around, pulling you into him with a soft smile. Your hands connect, as if they were made to hold each other, and he traces his thumb in circles on your hand.
“You are the light of my life,” he whispers into your ear, and it’s like you can hear the smile in his voice.

Summertime Sunsets

pairing: cedric diggory x female reader
warnings: just fluff
summary: you had been staying at your boyfriend cedric's house over the summer, and he takes you on a picnic to watch the sunset
a/n: i didn't know what to write for cedric lmao
song: sunsetz - cigarettes after sex
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Hello, darling," Cedric greets you as he walks over you where you were reading on the couch.
"Hi, Ced!"
He had gone out for something for a few minutes and his parents were running errands.
"How's the book?"
"Oh, it's wonderful! It's so beautifully written," you inform him.
"I'm glad, I'm also sorry to put a pause on your reading," he says as he takes the book from your hands, marks the page, and places it down.
His takes your hands in his and pulls you off of the seat.
"What are we doing?"
"You'll see, sweetheart," he smiles.
"Hm, okay," you shrug and grin at his excited state.
He pulls you outside by the garden and you follow him as you walk up a hill.
"Jeez, Ced, you should have told me we were gonna work out," you laugh.
"Don't worry, angel, we are almost there"
You finally make it to the top and you see a small field surrounded by flowers with a basket and snacks set up in the middle. The sun was setting and the sky was painted with colors that make is look unreal.
"Oh, wow, Cedric this is beautiful!"
"Hm, almost as beautiful as you," he winks. Your cheeks heat up, even though you've been dating for over a year, he still has that effect on you.
"Honestly, this is perfect. Thank you," you smile and sit with him on the blanket.
"No need to thank me, love"
"You have got all of my favorites," you could have cried.
"I had to have the favorites for my favorite person," he passes you a bouquet with flowers he hand picked and arranged.
"Cedric, you are too good to me"
"Only because you deserve the world, my love"
You were sat in between his legs as you rest your back on his chest. He cast a spell to play some quiet music in the back, he knows how you prefer to do things with music or some type of background noise.
You both were eating some strawberries as you watched the sunset and talked.
Your boyfriend was truly perfect.

✰  ✰  ✰
“Blaise, move your big arse away from my comfy spot.”
You had a tiring day of classes, and wanted nothing more than to just relax for the rest of the night. You had gone back to the Slytherin common room to hopefully see some of your friends and just wind down for the night. 
Everyone in Slytherin knew there was one special spot on the lounge couch that was reserved for you. You had spent countless hours and dozens of nights in that exact spot either studying or just hanging out with friends. That was your spot, and when you came into the common room, everyone knew to make way for it. 
Blaise chuckled and raised his hands in surrender. “Sorry, (Y/N), didn’t realize you’d be back so early.”
“Early?” You exclaimed as you jumped into your spot. “I’ve been busting my butt all morning for these stupid exams. I’m exhausted.”
Pansy groaned from her spot on the floor. “Why don’t you just cut yourself a break once in a while? It’s no fun when my best friend is too busy for, like, anything anymore.”
You frowned. “I’m not too busy for you! I’m here now, aren’t I?” You grabbed a blanket from the stockpile you kept in the common room, and wrapped yourself tight in it. 
Pansy rolled her eyes with a smile. “Yeah, yeah. You’re just in time to hear about the latest shit with Emma.” 
Pansy had a wild grudge against this poor Hufflepuff girl who didn’t even know that Pansy was beefing with her. It was quite funny, honestly, but you loved Pansy enough to let her moan on about what annoying thing Emma does everyday. 
“Oh goody.” Draco came out from the stairwell into the common room with a roll of his eyes. “Another go round of how insufferable you think that Hufflepuff is.” 
He glanced over to see you cocooned in your blanket and let out a soft laugh. Draco took his seat next to you and laid his arm over the back of the couch behind you. 
Draco intrigued you. Over the last year, the two of you had grown quite close. You considered Draco a good friend, but you would be lying to yourself if you said you didn’t wish it were more. Draco was kind. He was flirtatious and charming, but he was sweet and gentle with you as well. Sometimes you thought Draco may have feelings for you in return, but you were far too scared to confront him about it. 
“Well, for starters, we already know how much of a know it all she is, but for some reason she has to showboat just how smart she is. You’d think she was a Ravenclaw what with how obsessed she is with being correct.” Pansy said. 
Blaise started to respond to her squawking when Draco shifted closer to you. Blaise’s voice drifted away as you focused your attention to Draco. 
“You alright, Dray?” You asked. 
He smiled slightly. “Yeah, just trying to get comfortable. Salazar knows Pansy will be talking about this nonsense for hours.” 
Draco dropped his arm from the back of the couch to wrap around your shoulder and pull you into him. You could feel your heart beating out of your chest, silently hoping Draco couldn’t feel the intensity of it. 
You tried to hide the grin threatening to break out on your lips as you snuggled closer to his chest. This was definitely a first for you guys. Though you and Draco had been quite flirty, he’d never been so open with his physical touch before. 
“Then she had the nerve to choose me as her partner. Like I would ever consider her!” Pansy glanced over at you and did a double take when she saw you wrapped up in Draco. Her eyes grew slightly, but she averted them with a clear of her throat as to not make it obvious. 
“And then, she had the audacity-“
“She really is quite obsessed with this hufflepuff, huh?” Draco whispered to you, quiet enough for Pansy not to hear. 
You looked up at him. His face was so close to yours, your noses were practically touching. You bit your lip as a smile threatened your face. 
“Yeah,” you whispered back as you stared into his eyes. “Leave her be though, it keeps her entertained.”
Draco chucked, his minty breath hitting your face due to your close proximity. Your own breath caught in your throat. You hadn’t realized just how close you were to him. You could feel your stomach doing cartwheels as you took in all of his glorious features up close. The glimmer in his eyes, the point of his nose, the curve of his lips. 
“I didn’t see you earlier,” Draco shifted the conversation, pulling your gaze from his lips back to his eyes. “What were you doing all day, busy bee?”
You blushed at the nickname. “I was just in the library writing up essays and study guides for our finals.” You let out a yawn, the reminder of your morning making you realize just how exhausted you were. 
“Sleepy?” Draco murmured in your ear.
You nodded your head with a mumbled ‘yes’, then rested your head on his shoulder. Draco wrapped his arm tight around your waist, pulling you as close to him as possible. With his other hand, he softly combed his fingers through your hair.
You hummed as you closed your eyes. “You’re comfy,” you sleepily mumbled. 
Draco chuckled. His fingers brushed against your cheeks every once in a while as he gently continued combing through your hair. 
As you felt yourself falling asleep, you could hear Draco shushing Pansy and Blaise to ensure they didn't wake you. 
✰  ✰  ✰
The next morning you wake in your bed, unsure of how you got there. You must have gone up sometime in the night and just not remembered. 
With a shrug, you stood up and stretched your arms over your head. Pansy was snoring in the bed next to you. You tiptoed over to her and gently shook her awake. 
“Pansy,” you called as you shook her some more. “Come on, babe, time to wake up.” 
She just grumbled and swatted your hand from her shoulder. You huffed. Pansy was terrible in the mornings, and for some reason unknown to you, she didn’t believe in alarm clocks so you got stuck waking her up every morning. 
A mischievous idea came to mind, and with a smirk you jumped on top of her sleeping body. 
“Ahh!” She shouted as you frantically shook her awake.
“It’s wake up time, Pans! We’ve got to get ready for our charms exam this fine, beautiful morning.” You said with a laugh. 
Pansy sat up and pushed you off of her so you laid on the bed instead. “Geez,” she grinned as she rubbed at her sleepy eyes. “Who knew a night with Draco would make you so chipper this morning.”
You sat upright in crisscross as your smile fell. “Wait, what?”
You had spent the night with Draco? But that didn’t make sense, you woke up by yourself in your own bed. Plus, you would have remembered if something had happened between the two of you. 
Pansy saw your confused expression and chuckled. She grabbed a pillow and gently swatted you in the face with it. “Not like that, you silly. Salazar knows if you slept with Draco you’d have probably died of happiness.”
“Hey!” You whined as a blush started creeping on your cheeks. “I’m not that crazy for him.” 
“Oh, please,” Pansy scoffed with a slight smile. “I saw the way you cuddled up with him last night. I almost had a heart attack for you when I saw how close you were! Go (Y/N), go (Y/N)!” She cheered. 
You laughed and pushed Pansy away from you. “Shut up!” Your giggles died down as you recalled how you laid with him last night. “Was it really that obvious?”
“Girl please! I thought Draco was gonna scoop you up and run away with you. You should have seen the look on his face when you fell asleep on him. He looked at you like you hung the damn stars in the sky.”
Your heart fluttered. You knew there was something going on with you and Draco, but by the way Pansy was talking, though she had a knack for exaggeration, it sounded like he really did have a thing for you. 
“So, what do I do now?” You asked as you slightly rocked back and forth on her bed. 
“Are you joking?” Pansy deadpanned at you. “(Y/N/N), you gotta go get your man! I’m tired of watching you two drool like little puppies over each other just for nothing to come out of it.” 
Your cheeks flushed. It had been a long time of this back and forth with Draco, and you decided you were ready to see where it got you. 
“Okay, I’m gonna tell him next time I see him.” You said. 
Pansy cheered. “Yes, finally! Now hurry up, I’ll help you pick a cute outfit that has ‘date me’ written all over it.” 
You chuckled as Pansy eagerly jumped up and ran to your closet. She grabbed your shortest skirt, a white button up top, and your Slytherin robes. 
“Pans, how is this any different than my usual outfit?” You asked as you stood from the bed and joined her near the closet. 
“Ah, my sweet (Y/N), it’s not about the clothes you wear, but how you wear them.” She grinned as she threw the clothes into your hands. “Put them on so I can work my magic.”
You chuckled and stripped out of your pajamas to put on your school outfit. Turning back to Pansy, you said, “Okay, now what?” 
She devilishly grinned. Pansy pulled your skirt even higher up your legs to expose just a bit more of the skin there. She unbuttoned the top two buttons of your shirt and fixed your boobs so they popped out a little bit more. She wrapped the robe around your shoulders, but let the front open so you could see everything underneath. 
“And no tie,” she added, “that way your shirt can stay that way.”
You chuckled. “You get me into all these crazy shenanigans, you know that right?” 
“You know you love me.”
“Yeah,” you added wearily, “but what if it’s too much? I mean, we still have to go to class. It’s not like I'm only going to see Draco.”
“Who cares?” Pansy asked as she started to dress herself in a similar manner. “Let the other boys stare and show Draco that you’re a hottie who other boys can get at if he decides he’s gonna be a wuss today.”
You laughed. Pansy always knew just how to make you feel better. “Alright, let’s get out there, then. Don’t wanna keep all the boys waiting.” You winked at her. 
Pansy smirked and wrapped her arm with yours. You walked out together and down to your first class that you shared. 
Luckily for you, Draco did not share the same period for charms as you. You thought if Draco was in the class you would have surely failed your final. 
You felt pretty confident in your answers, and soon enough class was dismissed. 
Your heart beat out of your chest as you said your goodbyes to Pansy and walked to your next class: one you shared with Draco. 
Nervously, you picked at your clothes as you walked to potions. On your way there, you couldn’t help but notice all of the random students staring at you. Boys, and girls, sneaked peaks at you as you walked past them. 
It felt nice to be noticed, you just hoped Draco would react in a similar way. 
Speak of the devil.
There Draco stood in all his glory. He leaned against the wall outside of the potions room looking you up and down. Draco’s lip was trapped between his teeth and he sized you up. 
“Bloody hell, (Y/N).” Draco mumbled, just loud enough for you to hear over your rapidly-beating heart. 
Draco pushed himself off the wall and started walking towards you, meeting you halfway. He didn’t say anything. All he could do was stare. Draco knew you were gorgeous; he’d be a bloody fool to not have noticed it before, but there was something about the way you looked that made his head spin. 
While he shouldn’t say it, Draco had always imagined how you would look after he’d had his way with you. He didn’t ever want to seem like a creep, you were too sweet for that, but that just made him more curious. 
In all honesty, he didn’t know you had this in you. 
“Uh, Draco?” You asked. Draco had zoned out as he stared at you. You could feel your cheeks getting warm and you took in how awestruck he looked. 
“Hm?” He glanced back up into your eyes. “Sorry, sweetheart, you just- you just look incredible. Well, you look gorgeous everyday, just you look gorgeous and sexy if that makes sense.” 
You raised an eyebrow almost teasingly. “Oh, so you think I look sexy now, huh?” You don’t know where this newfound confidence came from, but you liked the way Draco’s eyes widened as you crossed your arms over your chest, pushing your boobs out ever so slightly.
Once he recovered, a smirk adorned his handsome face. “I always think you look sexy, now I'm just seeing it in person rather than my dreams. And speaking of dreams,” Draco grinned devilishly, “how did you sleep last night, darling?” 
You had almost forgotten about the confusion of the night. “I slept well. I think.” You chuckled as you pushed a piece of hair behind your ear. “I don’t exactly remember getting to bed, though. Care to enlighten me?” 
Draco chuckled, “You fell asleep, quite adorably I might add, and I as the gentleman I am had the privilege of carrying you up the stairs and tucking you in for the night.” 
You smiled, “how come you didn’t just wake me?”
Draco’s cheeks tinged pink. “I, uh, I just knew how tired you were from your morning and I didn’t want to disturb you. Hope that was okay.” Draco rubbed the back of his neck a little awkwardly. 
You grinned and reached up to squeeze his arm. “It was really sweet of you, Draco.” 
The two of you stared at each other for a minute, the silence held some tension, it had some longing imbedded into it. 
“Draco…” 
“Do you want to go out sometime?” Draco cut you off. 
You gaped at him. “Like a date?”
Draco smiled, “yeah, exactly a date. I knew I’ve liked you for a little while, (Y/N), but when you cuddled up against me last night, I had this thought that I wanted to do it again. And then again after that too. You held onto like you needed me, and, uh, I really liked that.”
Draco blushed a little at his confession and shuffled his feet around nervously. 
You couldn’t help but grin and wrap your arms tight around his neck. Draco was a little taken aback by your quick movement, but surely sunk into your hug and wrapped his arms around your waist. 
“I’d love to go out with you, Dray,” you whispered as you were pressed so close to him. “I’ve been hoping you would ask me out for a long time.”
Draco pulled away, but still held his hands on your waist. “Sorry for keeping you waiting so long, darling.”
You giggled and grabbed Draco’s hands to pull him towards the classroom. “Come on, Slughorn doesn’t wait for anyone and I need to do good on this exam.”
Draco chuckled and let you pull him along to class. He couldn’t wait to finally take you out on a date.

harry having a crush on you wouldn’t be one of the most unexpected things, given you’ve been best friends since 3rd year. the thing you never realized though, was how must trust he had in you.
it took him a lot to let someone in the way he did for you. you never expected it, but he was so comfortable around he could sleep by your side without having nightmares, waking up without a worry.
or that he was so comfortable that he could talk to you and never run out of words to say, no awkward eye contact, nothing.
until recently, when ron began teasing him every moment you walked in the room while harry was there.
he made kissing noises, pushing you two closer together, anything he could do to make more tension between you two, as if there wasn’t enough already.
since summer after sirius’s death, he wrote letters to you everyday. some slightly flirty, such as “i can’t wait to see you beautiful”, or even “i just get so nervous around you.”
as you grew and went back to hogwarts returning for your sixth year, harry’s crush also grew on you.
— 𝑹𝑶𝑵 𝑾𝑬𝑨𝑺𝑳𝑬𝒀
he’s so not good at hiding things like this, constantly tripping over his own feet for you, making terrible jokes every time you’re around, and being flustered even after a simple wave.
although it seemed dorky or cheesy, you loved it about him. the way he was so sweet yet funny at the same time, and also the fact that his family already loved you, molly the most.
spending holidays at the burrow with his family had been a regular occurrence, but as you grew closer with ron over the years you realized just how caring he could be.
even if his brothers teased you both or spat ridiculous jokes at him for it, it never truly bothered you. it’s been obvious more lately, but in the past ron was always there for you.
always by your side, insisting he never leaves unless you’re truly alright. soon, he realized these feelings grew into more than being there for you. he wanted it to be being there for you everyday, or waking up and seeing you by his side everyday.
he’s flustered whenever you’ve been around more recently, insisting you sit next to him or even having a close arm around you.
— 𝑪𝑬𝑫𝑹𝑰𝑪 𝑫𝑰𝑮𝑮𝑶𝑹𝒀
he’s not shy with it around you, but also not fully confident. becoming cedric’s friend after seeing his hard work in the tournament, yet not bragging about it, made him seem even more of a kind-hearted person.
that was the thing you loved most about him, the was he was never shy or nervous around you, even when his feelings for you were obvious, he was always confident.
him crushing on you didn’t start to long after the tournament, as you two quickly became close. he’d even take you out with just you two, which of course wasn’t normal for “two friends”.
he felt no need to hide it, yet still be flirty and respectful towards you. he was quickly comfortable with you and always had been, but ever since he spent more time around you he wanted to be in your space all the time. around you, with you, and by your side at all times.
— 𝑫𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑶 𝑴𝑨𝑳𝑭𝑶𝒀
being potions partners gave you a good reason to be close to draco, but you never realized you’d be more than close with him.
you’d become close with him over the past year, even if his friends teased at him every day for it. he hadn’t even began to worry about what his father would think, all he could think of was you.
after becoming so caring and trusting for him, he eventually realized he couldn’t hold his feelings back. he hadn’t showed it though, no. he knew he couldn’t, with the reputation he had at school and his father barging in his life almost every day, he couldn’t just show his feelings.
as others would tease him and you, he slightly would too. not extremely, but questioning why you’d ever be his friend.
although he realized he didn’t mean it, he’d never say it. admitting his feelings was something he wasn’t ready to do, but simply crushing on you or even being protective over you was something he was ready for.

“There’s Plenty of Kish in The Sea, Right?”
Fred Weasley x Reader Part 1
✨CATCH UP DUMP✨
Day 8 of the 13 Nights of Halloween Spooktacular!!!
Masterlist | Part 1 | Part 2
Tumblr media
(Gif not mine)
Requested? No
Summary: Cedric wants to be a champion. (Y/n) wants him to live to see the end of the school year. Freddie just wants to be (Y/n)’s boyfriend…
Warnings: starred out swear words, jealous Freddie, Angst-kinda
Pairing: Fred Weasley x Fem!Reader (you’re a Hufflepuff)
(Y/n/n) - your nickname
Tumblr media
The room was practically buzzing with anticipation. Dinner had been over and done with for what felt like ages, and yet no one had dared move from their seats. They remained, waiting. Because tonight was a big night. Tonight the students of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang would find out who had been chosen to compete in this years Triwizard Tournament.
“Calm down, Ced.” (Y/n) tried, her housemate and best friend practically bouncing in his seat, the anxiety flowing off of him in almost visible waves. (Y/n) herself was substantially less nervous, seeing as how her birthday wasn’t for a few more months and she was therefore ineligible for the event. Not that she’d have entered, anyhow. She valued her life, thank you very much. Cedric, however…
“I can’t help it (Y/n)! This is a huge deal! Finally, my chance to make something of myself… Ever since Harry got here it’s like I’m not good enough anymore and-“ Cedric ran his fingers through his hair in distress, (Y/n) frowning at his words, cutting him off with a comforting pat on the shoulder.
“Okay, calm down.” She ordered, the boy turning his body to look at her as she continued, knowing full well the true reasoning behind his nerves, and not liking his self-deprecation one bit… “Look, I know you want to make your dad proud, Ced. But, he loves you. And I’m sure he’ll love you just as much even if you don’t get chosen.” She ran her hand along his back in what she hoped were soothing circles, to which she was proven correct when the taller lad sunk into her embrace with a sigh.
“Thanks, (Y/n/n)… I suppose you’re right…” He mumbled, resting his head on her shoulder. (Y/n) chucked in response.
“Aren’t I always?” She asked, earning herself a playful shove back which had them both giggling. “You know, I’m still not even sure what would posses a person to want to do something like this.” (Y/n) noted, running her hand through Cedric’s hair mindlessly, as she voiced her thoughts on the tournament for what was quite possibly the millionth time. Previously, it had been in an attempt to talk the older boy out of it, though, more currently, it was simply out of spite, as there was nothing anyone could do once his name had been entered. Not that (Y/n) thought that out of all the names he’d get picked. Of course she wouldn’t be telling him that. He seemed so excited about it all. And it would be much easier to deal with a Cedric that was mad at the system for not choosing him than one mad at his best friend for not believing in him. No matter that the choice seemed relatively random…
Cedric just hummed, most likely to humor her strong opinions at this point, but (Y/n) didn’t mind, as she continued on.
“I was talking to Hermione and she said-“
“Shh!!! It’s starting!” Well, then…
+ + +
“Ahh the trusty old ‘stare at her until she notices you’ trick. Works every time.” George joked from beside Fred, who sent him the nastiest glare he could muster up, before returning his attention to the Hufflepuff across the room. He just couldn’t help it. She was gorgeous. Fred had been pretty much head-over-heels in love with her since they’d been paired up for potions the first day of third year. And, much to his twin brothers amusement, he’d been fairly useless as a human being around her ever since. It’s not like Fred meant to become a stuttering mess of a man every time he was within a ten foot radius of the girl. Under normal circumstances, he could flirt his way out of a jail sentence if he really wanted to. Fred was fairly proud of this fact. But, with (Y/n), it was like he was putty in her hands. And it was incredibly infuriating…
“Shove off, mate.” Fred grumbled, finally turning his attention away from the Hufflepuff table and back to the world around him when Cedric Diggory dropped his head to rest so f*cking adorably on (Y/n)’s shoulder. Fred briefly entertained the idea of a ‘disappearing’ prank on the older bloke, but, upon the realization that that was insane, opted to simply pout at the tabletop in front of him. A nudge from his other side gained his attention away from the wood grain, however, and Fred turned to Lee with a raised brow. “What?”
“You need to loosen up, Freddie. It’s one girl. What’s that muggle saying? ‘There’s plenty of kish in the sea’?” Lee offered, confusing the sh*t out of pretty much everyone present, before George made to correct him.
“‘Fish in the sea.’ ‘There’s plenty of fish in the sea’, mate.” He said, though nobody could hold in their snickers as Lee crossed his arms across his chest defensively. Even Fred managed a small smile before returning to a neutral expression (that one might consider rather downcast for the guy in question) when Lee jumped to his own defense.
“I’m pretty sure it was ‘kish.’” He argued, clearly causing George’s annoyance to grow, while Fred remained relatively unbothered. He wasn’t looking for a different ‘fish’ or ‘kish’ anyhow. He just wanted (Y/n)…
“Why the bloody hell would it be ‘kish’? What the f*ck is a ‘kish in the sea.’” George complained loudly, unintentionally firing Lee up more. Fred rolled his eyes.
“A good snog. Lip locking. Spit sharing. You know, a ‘kish.’” He enunciated his point with a loud smack of his own lips followed by a cheeky grin that probably meant he was proud of himself, for what, Fred didn’t know. That was just about the dumbest thing he’d ever heard, and he’d been sharing a house with Ron for the last fourteen years…
“You’re an absolute idiot.”
“Hey, you’re one to talk!”
“Why don’t you say that to my face, huh!?”
“You think I won’t!?”
“Get to it, then!”
“I will-“
“Shut up, you tossers! It’s starting!” Fred almost yelled, interrupting the fighting boys when he noticed Dumbledore making his way towards the goblet at the other end of the Hall. Finally. Something to distract him…
+ + +
“Cedric Diggory!”
W-what?
The table around (Y/n) felt like it was shaking. Hufflepuffs of all ages clapping and pounding on the hard wood in support of their champion. Of Cedric…
“(Y/n/n)!” And suddenly her feet were off the ground, her best friends arms wrapped around her tightly as he swung the younger girl around in his excitement, one that she could, regrettably, not join him in.
Cedric was going to compete in the triwizard tournament... The triwizard tournament… The incredibly dangerous triwizard tournament… Cedric…
“Oh my…” (Y/n) barely managed to breathe out, in complete and utter disbelief of the situation. Meanwhile, Cedric was practically glowing.
“I did it!” He spoke ecstatically into her ear as he put her back down on her own two feet, the biggest grin (Y/n) had ever seen spread across his face. It dimmed slightly, however, when he noticed her own worried expression, and realized that she did not share in his joy.
“Hey…” He mumbled, pulling her back in for another hug, though this one considerably calmer, which (Y/n) was grateful for. “I’m gonna be okay… I’m gonna win this thing. Yeah?” He whispered so softly (Y/n) wouldn’t have been able to hear him had he not been so close.
Now, she didn’t know how much she believed him, the concern for her friend eating away at the girl immensely, but (Y/n) gave him her best smile and nod anyway, knowing that all she could do at this point was support him. Merlin knows he’s going to need it…
“I’ve gotta go with the other champions but I’ll see you later, Okay?” And (Y/n) nodded again, holding her expression for as long as she could, before finally sighing in relief when he turned, and she could drop the act and allow herself to wallow in her true feelings. God, if she hadn’t been before, she surely was nervous now…
And that was all before the boy who lived was announced as the fourth champion…
+ + +
Could this day get any worse?
Fred thought not, as the current residents of the Great Hall all sprang to their feet and began chatting animatedly about the events that had just transpired. But Fred remained stationary in his seat, grip so tight on the tables edge that, had he cared, he’d be worried he might break it.
But Fred’s mind was elsewhere, going a mile a minute in just about a million different directions.
Cedric was the Hogwarts champion…
Harry put his name in the Goblet of Fire…
Cedric was all over (Y/n) when they called his name…
Why didn’t Harry tell George and I how to put ours in?
(Y/n) looked so worried when Cedric walked off to join the other champions…
Why doesn’t she look at me like that?
“You good, mate?” Fred heard George ask from beside him, but he didn’t answer. What could he say? “No, actually. I’m incredibly offended that the girl I like seems to fancy another guy, even though I’ve given her absolutely no reason to think I’m interested in her because I can’t f*cking talk to her without sounding like a complete and utter doof.” Yeah, that would be real helpful…
“Sorry, spaced.” Fred mumbled dumbly before finally getting to his feet. “I’m tired. Let’s go on up.”
Fred knew George was looking at him funny, but he didn’t have the energy to care, as the pair made their way out of the Hall, Fred, for the first time in over two years, not sparing a single glance at the Hufflepuff table…
There’s plenty of kish in the sea, right?

You didn't burn those flowers, did you|t.nott part 2
part 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: Sometimes it's better for us if our prayers are not listening by anyone.
parings: Theodore Nott x fem!reader
warnings: bad grammar, lack of self -respect
word counts: 2131
author's note: It's part 2 and I hope y'all going to enjoy this. Also I started working on something bigger than one shots so I hope that you're going to like this.
Tumblr media
Love is like poison, once you will be loved by a person, you’re going to end up in pain. The only thing that love is doing it’s just crushing your soul and you will never be the same.
“You didn't burn those flowers, did you?” Mattheo asked.
This night was so peaceful with a bright sky and music blasting somewhere behind us. I couldn’t see Theo tonight. He was way too drunk and his eyes once blue now was just dark and full of hatred. 
“I couldn’t. I’m still hoping that he’s going to change. He’s going to talk to me.” I responded and passed him a pack of cigarettes. 
Mattheo sighed and took one cigarette from the pack. Then he lit my cigarette. I really appreciated the fact that he was worrying about me. I decided to give him a chance because deep down I know that he liked me. We both know that I still loved Theo. 
Ever since we barely see Nott. And when we were seeing him, he was drunk or high. I lose all hope that he’s going to talk not only to me but also the rest of our group.
“So now you and Mattheo are a thing.” Pansy theoretical asked.
“Yeah… but he knows that I still have feelings for Theo and I didn’t burn those fucking flowers. I don’t think that I will ever be ready to do this” I responded.
Pansy looked at me and started to look for her favorite black skirt. I was really hoping that she’s going to say something but she didn’t do it. When I was finishing my makeup, she came closer. She sat down and at this moment I started to regret my wish. She was doing that when she wanted to tell me about something which wasn’t really good news to me.
“If you want to drop Mattheo and run back to your ex, just keep it in mind that Cedric is single,” she said.
“Pansy what the fuck are you talking about?” I screamed at her.
“When I was looking for a Nott because I wanted to ask him about a book I borrowed to him I heard something” she responded.
“Girl, don't try my patience” I said.
“Cedric was talking about getting back to you because you two did a project together. He didn’t tell what you two were doing but he was getting at you cheating Theo with him.” Pansy stated.
“You're kidding right?” I asked.
“If you want to take this as a joke then yes.” she ironically responded. 
“Fuck me.” I commented.
“What do you want to do with this?” she asked.
“Well I want to show him that me and him hooking up was just a simple mistake.” I responded.
Pansy nodded her head and started talking about her idea of revenge. I was just simply in shock because me and Cedric agreed that our relationship has to end. When Pansy was ready we went to a party and I decided to play a game with Cedric.
I was sitting at the counter. Mattheo was touching my thigh. And I saw Cedric sitting on the couch with Aurelie. He knew exactly what he was doing. 
“Go and talk to Aurelie, I know that you like her now.” I told to Mattheo.
“You sure?” he asked.
“Yes, we both know that we like to flirt with each other but you can’t kiss me because you’re going to betray Theo and I can’t kiss you because I love him. Holding hands and cuddling it’s nothing. So go and talk to her.” I responded and playfully hit his head.
I couldn’t wait long for him and Aurelie disappearing outside. I jumped off the counter and went to Cedric. I sat at his lap. The best part was that he wasn’t surprised, it was almost like he wanted me to do it. 
“Tell me, this is what we did, when we were doing a project” I asked. 
I knew that his friends were looking at us and were interested in this situation. So I kissed him on the cheek. I knew what I was doing but I didn’t know that Theo was here and he was looking. But when he saw this he just left. I mean that’s what Lorenzo told me after.
“Or maybe we were doing this” I stated. 
His face turned red because I didn’t knew what he told his friends and his friends were smiling, some of them were laughing.
“That’s what I thought. Next time, when you decide to make out with me while doing a project, just tell me what we did because I still don’t know. And I think I’m supposed to know.” I said.
Then I headed to the yard. I needed to smoke. It didn’t last long when the yard was full of people who wanted to know what just happened. I was making myself a drink when Cedrics’ friends were telling everyone what happened. I was really glad that some of our friends had a house where we could drink on the weekends. Once the party was over, a new week has come.
Something changed after that party. Me and Mattheo were still flirting because Aurelie and any other girl didn’t last long as befits Mattheo. Lorenzo was still a loser when it comes to drinking and poor Blaise had to take care of him. Pansy and Draco would still make out with us in one room. It was all the same but the change was in Theo. He was still intoxicated when we were seeing him but we could see him frequently. I mean I was seeing him more often than the rest of us. But he still refused to talk to us.
One time Pansy and I were talking about a borrowed book and even though Nott didn’t talk to us, he gave it back. He didn’t come to us and gave it back but the next day a book was laying in front of our bedroom. He was attending Quidditch again. He was signing me to be his partner at every work even though he was doing this all by himself. This is how three weeks passed. When we were all sitting in the common room when Elijah came with a big smile on his face.
“My dear friends, I will be throwing a party on Friday, so feel free to come and get drunk” he screamed, “And my dear Y/N, Cedric is also invited so yall can make a clusterfuck again” he added. 
I sarcastically smiled in response. 
“Oh come on girl, after your whatever that was everyone was concentrating on you and made a pretty big mess in my yard.” Elijah said.
“Thanks for reminding me. I would kill myself without this quick reminder.” I responded. 
Elijah looked at me and smiled. 
“Do you think that Theo is going to be there?” Blaise asked.
“I guess so.” I responded.
Before the party I decided to go to Muggle world for a pack of cigarettes. It was way much better than ours. It took me too long so I arrived a bit late. I always wonder how Elijahs’ parents never realized what was happening in their house. When I was inside I realized that I might have arrived too late because Lorenzo was already drunk. It’s not like he needed much alcohol, I just knew that at first they don’t drink too much. They are always waiting for some kind of drama and then the party begins. I was looking for Theo but I couldn’t find him, so I just sat down with my friends.
“Do you have it?” Pansy asked so I showed her a pack of cigarettes.
“Here’s your drink” Mattheo said while passing me a coup.
The smell was so strong and I knew that today I’m not walking by myself but someone is going to carry me from this house. 
Many drinks after, Theo came. He was already drunk so TROUBLE was screaming loudly. All of us were waiting for him to do something but he went to make himself a drink. 
Then to our surprise he sat with us. 
He sat next to me. 
The silence was so loud even though the party was yobby. He didn’t even look at us. He was just sitting. I was chugging my drink and thanks to the drunk Lorenzo, the silence was over. He started saying stupid things and Pansy started to respond to him. After a while they all were again loud but I felt really uncomfortable. When I was about to stand and go to make another drink, he grabbed my cup to make me a drink. 
“You should just chill Y/N and be natural.” Draco stated.
“Easier said than done…” I said but I was interrupted by a glass bump.
Theo decided to bring alcohol to our table. I looked over and saw Cedric. He was looking at me and if Lorenzo was telling the truth and Theo saw what I did last time, I wasn’t surprised that he brought alcohol here. 
After a drink Pansy and Draco just disappeared, Lorenzo went to some bedroom to sleep. So on the couch was me, Theo, Blaise and Mattheo. I chugged four more drinks and I knew that I had to stop. I was way too drunk so I decided to go outside to smoke but I took a drink with me. I also couldn’t stand Theo, I was happy that he’s with us but the way he acted, more like he didn't act unbearable.
I went to the end of the yard and the wind was whipping me gently. It was still night. Music was softly blasting and there was no one outside so I could be alone for a minute. But to be honest I don’t know how long I was sitting there. I knew that drink and half of cigarettes were gone.
When I got inside the mess was insane. A lot of broken glasses and blood. Fucking blood. I could feel like my heart stopped for a second. I sober up in a second. I started to look around but I couldn’t find him. But I saw Cedric all in blood. And I knew what happened. I started to look for Mattheo or Blaise. I found Blaise by the exit when he was looking for Theo.
“What happened?” I asked.
“Y/N” Blaise said while hugging me, “you didn’t come back for a solid hour and we didn’t see you in the yard so Mattheo went to look for you.” he added.
“I was just sitting at the very last corner of it,” I said.
“Yes, that’s the problem. It’s dark and we always know where you smoke.” he responded to me.
“I know, I just needed to be alone for a second and I’m sorry for worrying you.” I said, “but what happened to Cedric?” I asked.
“You weren’t coming back and Cedric started to make up the stories of you two doing a project. So Theo went to him and started to fight. Then he grabbed alcohol and just left.” Blaise responded.
“How long ago did he leave?” I asked.
“10 minutes maybe.” Blaise responded.
“I’m going to look for him. I might know where he is.” I stated.
I knew that Blaise didn’t want me to go alone and drunk at night but it was the only way to find Theodore.
The night was still peaceful but my heart wasn’t. The only place he could go was the heathland. We were always going for some privacy there because only we knew where it was. As I was closer and closer I could hear him breaking a bottle. 
“Theodore, can we talk!” I screamed when I was close enough. 
He decided to ignore me and just walk by.
“Theo, can you just fucking stop!” I screamed again. 
He ignored me again so I decided to walk faster to him. When I was by his side, I grabbed his wrist. He pushed me but I did it again. This time he stopped walking but he didn’t look at me. 
“Teddy, let’s just talk.” I calmly said. 
He grabbed me by my cheeks and kissed me. It was a long and passionate kiss but something was off. 
“I don’t want to talk. I just want you to love me but you had to choose fucking Cedric. At first I didn’t believe the rumors but then I saw how you smiled at each other. Every time you two were together, you were laughing a lot and I knew that he makes you feel good. And then the fact that they knew was even worse. Because that day I lost not only a girl I love more than anything but also my friends. And then I saw you and Cedric at that party and I realized that I need to let you go even though I still love you.” Theo said.
He was still holding my face so I grabbed his arm so he couldn’t just go away.
“It’s not like that,” I said and then I explained everything to him. I knew that he wanted to listen to me because he let me talk.
“I’m sorry, I really mean this. I love you and I don’t want to lose you ever again.” he whispered to my ear while hugging me. 
“Let’s clean you up.’’ I said and gave him a peck on the lips.
I wanted to start over, he wanted to start over and it was all that mattered to me.
“You didn't burn those flowers, did you?” Theo asked but it sounded more like he wanted to convince himself.
“I prayed that these flowers would burn on their own, because I couldn’t do it.” I responded and hugged him even tighter.

You belong with me(George Weasley) Part 1
Paring: George Weasley X Longbottom!Reader X Cedric Diggory.
Summary: your best friend George knows you deserve better. He wants to be that 'better' but to scared to say but after a burnt hand truth may come out. (A.U where Cedric doesn't die)
Prompts: 1.0) “I mean, it's nice they found each other Sometimes you fall for someone you'd never expect, but that doesn't make it wrong. Doesn't everyone deserve to be happy?”
1.6) “I need to know if it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever.” - “in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are”
This is for my buddy Ashlee, who hates Cedric with every fiber of her soul for no reason. There's no much Cedric bashing but he's not perfect in this story.
Potter MasterList
Tumblr media
--------(Potions Class, Snape)--------
I silently sat in my seat waiting for Professor Snape to start the lesson. He was running unusually late so that ment the class was mixed up and being social. Come to think of it this is the most talkative the class has ever been.
Except me, my boyfriend Cedric did most of the talking but ever since the tournament I've only been there to benfet him. It's technically not his fault really but what hurt was he wasn't around anymore. He would show a bright smile and laugh whole heartedly to anyone who would listen but then be too tired for anything else.
His laughter continued as he had his back to me taking to Harry and a couple of Hufflepuffs. Not complaining I silently read my book. It was a Muggle book professor Lupin gave me called The Outsiders. I was nose deep when something snapped against the hard-back cover.
I peaked from behind the book and saw a rubber band. I smiled already knowing it was my best friend George Weasley. I rolled my eyes as George leaned twords me from the desk that was acrossed from mine.
“hiya, George” I nodded my head twords Fred as I moved over to their table. Cedric didn't even realize my absence. “hay freddie”
As few minutes went on the twins explained their new product ideas and different renovation ideas for the shop they're gonna open when they're done with school. I nodded happy holding on to every word. Honestly I could listen to them talk all day, especially George. The three of us had been best friends since our 1st year and they never failed at making me laugh or made me feel out of place.
“in your seats everyone” Snape said as he stormed in the the room making everyone quite.
“the man sure knows how to make a whole room speechless” Fred mumbled. I snorted trying not to laugh out loud.
Snape whipped around book in hand. “turn to page 934”
Everyone did and 934-935 was covered with pictures and scribls of writing of a potions. A shape shifting potion to be exact. I raised an eye brow as me and Cedric read off the ingredients and the uses for the potion.
“this is unusual” Cedric mumbled. I just shrugged at the first words he's said to me all morning.
"as you can tell it's a little bit more complicated than your silly little minds can handle” Snape insulted. No one batted an eye as it was usual for him to treat this class in such manner. And yes, this class was mostly Hufflepuffs and had only a few Gryffindors.
“so you'll be working in groups” a couple of people nodded with no emotion and the others sighed in realife.
“this is an easy A” Cedric whispered. I nodded with nothing else to say. I was relieved that he wanted to pair up, it gave us extra time together but part of me knew I'd end up doing half of it while Cedric socialized. Even if he intentionally did it or not.
Our happy faces dropped slightly as Snape continued. “I'll be asing partners. Take a seat next to them when I can your names” a few brave people groaned and others just rolled their eyes.
“Diggory your with Chan” I felt my stomach turn as I heard the paring. I knew Cedric would never betray me like that but I see how Cho Chan looks at him. She gave him the same look Cedric gave me long ago.
Cedric patted my hand and left to set next to her. I gulped as Snape read off the names.
“Potter and Jorden”
“Brown and Johnson”
Snape then looked up and eyed the twins. They looked unfased and continued the stare down. “if you two think I trust you to be partners in this particular Potion you got another thing coming... Weasley and Longbottom” he said refusing to me.
Fred raised his hand in a smart-ass sort of way. “excuse me sir but... Which one”
Snape sighed and pointed to George. “which ever one you are work with Y/n Longbottom, the other one can go with Finnigan”
George happy sat next to me. I set up from my slouched potion and handed him a quill with as he flipped through his book.
“get started” Snape said bluntly.
As I was reading the steps I feel something soft touch my cheek. I batted away and continued reading. It came back again and this time it tickled more. I giggled and pushed the quill out of George's hand.
He laughed as he successfully got my attention. “which cauldron do you want to use?”
“we can use yours a guess” George nodded and got up to get his from his previous spot. As he did Cedric stared daggers into the ginger.
---☆☆☆☆☆☆☆---
The cauldron boiled a Creamy white liquid as I grinded and cut up the different ingredients for the spell. On my right was George stirring the pot and reading the book.
“what do they mean shread something pure?” Cedric said getting a little too stressed over the potion. This class had never been his strong suit, which is why it would have been an 'easy A' if we were partners.
“your supposed to shread the dandelion” I said walking next door to his table. Right when I went over to help Cedric and the cauldron explode and the hot liquid splashed on my hand. I hiss and jerked beck into George's chest.
I held my hand as the cauldron dumped all over the floor. George quickly pulled me back from the steaming puddle. Cho and I coughed from the steam as Cedric stood there dumbfounded.
“Weasley take miss. Longbottom to Madam Pomfrey, and for the love of Godric clean your mess Diggory”
“y/n im sorr-” he started but George pulled me along towards the door.
“watch what your doing next time, Champion” I hear Fred say as we leave for the Infirmary.
Dispite the burning I felt on my hand I felt security as George walked next to me with his arm around me. I felt my heart sweal as he wrapped my hand in his red handkerchief and continued to ask me if I was alright.
“seriously, I'm fine Georgie” I chuckled as he opened the door to hospital wing. He smiled brightly as he held the door for me.
“madam Pomfrey, we got a Burned hand” George called out. The older woman sighed from the back and the sound of her foot steps followed. “What did you boys do now?”
She looked surprised as she saw me clenching my hand as stood next to George. “my dear what happened?”
“Diggory Knocked a hot potion onto her hand” George said looking visibly upset. Madam Pomfrey led me to one of the beds and George followed without hesitation.
George helped me on the bed as Pomfrey brought a stool to set in front of me. “let me see, Dear” she said softly. I hissed as the fabric left my red hand. You couldn't miss Pomfrey's expression as she examined my hand. I looked down for the first time and my eyes bugged out.
On my first two fingers had a thing strip of red coiled all the way up from my nails from my knuckles and the whole top of my and and thumb was covered in a deep red with white blisters.
She sighed sympathetically as she carefully studied my hand. “What potions were you using Dear?”
“it was supposed to be a shape shifting potion” I sighed. “Diggory's didn't go as planned, Godric knows what was put in that heaping pile of crap” George said butting in. The more the thought of it, the angry he got and thst didn't go unnoticed.
“did you breath anything in?”
I nodded thinking back when Cho and I were coughing and hacking from the steam from the potion.
“well, I can use a spell to transfer the heat out of your skin, then we'll put an ointment on it, but since we're not quite sure what was in the cauldron you'll have to say the night or just intill the potion leaves your system” Pomfrey explained.
Next she pulled out her wand and gently touched it to the tip of my finger. She gently pulled back before anything happened. “this usually hurts so brace yourself”
The tip of her wand touch my finger again and this time I grabbed George's hand with my good one. The pain wasn't as bad as imagined, but It felt like someone was pulling hot needles out of my hand.
After a few seconds she was done but there was still white and red puss like things that clinged to my hand. I looked at it in disgust as Madam Pomfrey gently coated my hand on ointment the rapped bandges over it.
“after dinner I want you to come back and then we'll decide if you have to stay over night” Pomfrey said. Me and George both nodded as he helped me off the bed.
“keep an eye on that poor girl, George” Madam Pomfrey yelled as we left. My cheeks dusted red as George closed the door behind us. He look equally red but tried really hard to hide it.
It wasn't awkward or anything, we were close friends and the whole school basically knew we were best friends. But knowing that George went out of his way to take me to the hospital wign and even stayed when he didn't need to made the butterflies in my stomach go crazy.
“so, your on first name bases with Madam Pomfrey know?” I asked playfully bumping his shoulder with mine. All the professors and staff usually referred to as with our last names so I was genuinely curious.
George chuckled and looked down. “yeah, when your Pyro maniacs like my brother and I you end up in the hospital wign for miner injuries.”
I nodded remembering all the times him and Fred would disappear after a practical joke gonne wrong or when one of their fireworks backfired.
George laughed and wrapped his arm around me. “let's get some dinner, I'm starving”
“same, let's go”
As we walked into the great hall it was already fairly packed. I looked over at the Hufflepuff table and spotted Cedric getting tugged around by his 'fans' as they flashed around their 'Potter stinks' pins around.
My smile fell as he was once again busy. It was a big room, I knew that much so there was no reason to get upset with him. George shook his head at him and pulled me to the Gryffindor table Where our brothers, Hermione and Harry were.
“heard about the hand, you okay Sis?” Neville asked as I sat down across from him. I gave my little brother a reassuring look and nodded. “I'm fine Nev”
“that's not what Pomfrey said...” George mumbled. I nudgged him as Fred who was setting on the other side of me gave me a concerned look. I elbowed him then looked at my friends worried faces.
“I'm seriously fine, she just said I might have to stay the night because we didn't quit know what was in Cedric's Cauldron.”
Hermione eyes widened with consern. “Cedric did that?”
“really?” Neville asked surprised but also had a hint of anger to his voice.
“it was an accident!” I sighed.
“well that accident might keep you in the hospital wign tonight” George said taking a bite of his chicken.
As dinner was coming to an End my stomach started to turn and my chest felt like it was tighting around my heart the harder it pounded.
I gulped and set my fork down as the voices around me started to sound muffled then none existent.
“y/n!”
---☆☆☆☆☆☆☆---
“come on love” George's voice said faintly.
I winced as pounding progressed in my head. My eyes fluttered open as I adjusted to the sunlight that shined through the many windows.
I turned to my left and saw George's bright smile. Behind him was Neville, who was passed out in the bed next to mine.
“Hey, Darling how are you feeling?” I slightly smiled at the ginger I called my best friend.
“Why didn't anyone tell me?!” Cedric said suddenly making me jump by the sudden noise. Cedric then ran to my bed worried. George set back in his chair extending the space between us.
Cedric ran to my bed side and took my hand. His eyes full of concern and his expression was frazzled. He sat down next to me as George stared him down.
“he didn't seem to concerned yesterday, she's here because of him”
“thanks for staying with her Mate” Cedric said bringing George back to reality. George forced a smile at him but he couldn't hold back the sarcasm.
Before George could say anything Harry and Ron both peaked their heads in the room. “George, Neville Professor McGonagall is looking for you guys”
Neville set up from the bed beside mine and gave me a hug goodbye. “oh, how you feeling?” Ron asked. I smiled and held my thumb up.
“I'm good here, I'll catch her later” George responded. Cedric raised en eye browe. His face held a hint of jealousy as George stood his ground.
“it's fine go, I'll be here with her” Cedric said like he was trying to mark his territory. He stared down George and such a way I've never seen Cedric do.
“oh that makes me feel so much better” George mumbled under his breath. Cedric gave him a questioning look. “sorry, didn't catch that”
“nothing, I'll come by later N/n” George huffed as he lefted with his younger brother.
---☆☆☆☆☆☆☆---
“ced, let's go!”
“yeah, mate let's go”
Cedric's Friends continued to call him as he sat at my bedside. He looked over his shoulder and chuckled as his Hufflepuff friends flagged him down. He then looked at me with a questioning look. Not wanting to fight and feeling slightly hurt that he'd leave so quickly I just forced a smile.
“go ahead, I'll be here” he smiled big and kissed my lips passionately. “thank you love”
I stared at burned hand with a sorrowful. As soon as I heard the door latch I let the tears fall. Everything seemed to be hitting me and sitting here made me think. I felt hurt on how easy Cedric left, like I was second priority. But with George he never wanted to leave.
I couldn't shake the thought of how easy It is to be around George Weasley... How safe it is. He always knew how to make me smile or laugh no matter what I was feeling thst day. I loved how his brown eye held so much love and humor. His eyes could be so lively and loving and barely show any fire or hate.
“what's wrong my dear?” Madam Pomfrey voice said suddenly said. I turned my head towards her and the words started falling uncontrollably.
“I kissed him, but I wanted it to be someone else... Dose that make me a bad person?” I mumbled. Madam Pomfrey gave me a soft expression.
“no, I doesn't” she said softly. She smiled turned around. She turned back when I spoke again. I couldn't shake the feeling romance was pointless. Are boyfriends and girlfriends just supposed to be on the side lines till their partner wants them? Is there such thing as love? I think love is what I feel when I'm around George.
“I need to know if it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever.”
Madam Pomfrey turned around with a small smile “in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are”
“your still young dear, you'll find that someone” I nodded as she left.
Her words running through my brain over and over again.

Soft Spot (Cedric Diggory)
You are Theodore Nott's older sister here. So, that means you are a pure-blood Slytherin.
Also, this is a long story one-shot because I got into it lol. This was like 4.5k words. I tried to make it not too boring.
*****
Cedric Diggory x Fem!Reader
Tumblr media
*****
They couldn't believe that the Golden Boy, Cedric Diggory, has a huge crush on a cold-hearted Slytherin girl, who was in his same year.
His friends have wondered if he had gone mental for liking her. Merlin, does she scares everyone without doing anything yet. But Cedric believed that somewhat she has a spot soft. I mean, everyone has it.
This made him more determined to pursue her. To find it all out and to get to know her.
"Mate, you are mental. Did you know that?" Smith looped his arm around his friend. Walking through the corridors near the courtyard, girls would giggle every time Cedric would look at them.
"Leave me alone, Zack." He rolled his eyes. Ignoring his friend's side comments and then he saw the girl he was looking for.
She was sitting near the fountain with her two Slytherin friends. She clearly wasn't listening to them as she was busy practicing a spell with her wand.
"Ah, you know I've been wondering." Smith continued to talk. "How were you supposed to know her if you don't even have the pluck of courage to ask her out? Unless... you are also scared of her, Ced." His friend teased and gave him a nasty look.
It wasn't that because he is scared of her--which he isn't. He didn't know how would he start a conversation with her. Normally, he would've engaged with girls well because he is Cedric Diggory.
But why was it hard to talk to her?
Why wasn't his charms weren't working on her?
He was smitten with her even his friends knew how much he was in love with her. He didn't know when, or how it happened. For all he knows, he just did.
Reader's POV
"Be quiet, Genevieve! Or I'll hex you." I hissed at her. She was being loud that I couldn't focus on practicing non-verbal spells.
"Aren't you getting excited about the upcoming Triwizard Tournament?" Daphne asked me. She was 2 years younger than me, but I get along with her well. That's because she wouldn't stop bothering me. But she was like a little sister to me, so I didn't mind her hanging around with me.
"No. Not really." I answered, feeling uninterested in the subject. Boys in my year--even girls are getting worked up and putting their names in the goblet. But, I was different.
This tournament got me a feeling that something bad is going to happen.
"I heard your little brother was mad after hearing Dumbledore's announcement about the age of sixteen below must not enter the tournament." I was relieved when the headmaster made that announcement. Or else, I could've hex my brother, not to enter.
"Theo's stupid. He wouldn't get chosen, anyway." I replied to Genevieve.
I heard them snort at my response. My brother is in his hormonal stage. He's a pain in the ass, really. Even more when he started to hang around with that little brat, Malfoy.
"You know... I've noticed for a while now. Diggory's been looking at you every time he sees you." Daphne and I turned around to see him looking in our directions. I raised an eyebrow at him, which caught him by surprise then return to what I was doing.
"You're delusional. He was probably looking at the girls in front of us." I eyed the girls, who were giggling too loudly that made me annoyed. Giving the girls an irritated look, they started to get up and leave.
I should've gone to go at the Black Lake instead of sitting here with a bunch of giggling girls. I let out an irritated sigh and tried a non-verbal spell. It worked because Daphne's book immediately flew straight into my lap.
"Hey! I was reading that." I gave her a laugh and hand it back to her. We spent the rest of the afternoon listening to Genevieve's stories until it was time for dinner at the Great Hall.
*****
The bad feeling about this whole tournament was still bugging me. I ignored the feeling and busy myself with studying. As the firstborn child in our family, I was obliged to be the best at everything. Being pure blood and honoring my blood, our blood, so that Theodore would set me as his role model.
I was forced to mature at such a young age. Protective over my brother so that he wouldn't experience our father's pressure of having Nott as our last name. Mother died long after she gave birth to Theo. So, I acted like a mother and sister to him. I decided to carry all of the burdens for my brother's sake.
Even though, he's a git.
"Don't make me hex you, Theo." I glared at my brother who returned my gaze.
"You're not my mother." I saw Malfoy wanted to butt in but I gave him a nasty look that scared him before he could say something.
"Don't think I don't know what you're planning!" I went closer to him and flicked his forehead. He was a few inches taller than me even though he's only 14 years old. He held his forehead in pain, ready to shout at me but stopped because he knows what will happen if he did.
"I'm not answering back because I do not wish to end up in the hospital wing." He turned his back on me and sat quietly beside Malfoy who was just sitting a few inches away from us.
Genevieve let out a snort after watching our argument. I rolled my eyes at her and sat down, waiting for the headmaster to enter the Great Hall.
"Diggory is still looking at you, Y/N." She whispered.
"I didn't need to know, Gen. Leave him be." I knew he was looking at me for a while now. All I can do was glare at him but he always returned it with his idiotic bright smile.
"Do you think he fancies you?" She asked while still looking at Diggory.
"You can have him if you want. Just don't let me hear your high-pitched giggles."
A couple of minutes later, Dumbledore finally entered the Great Hall together with the Headmaster of Durmstrang and Headmistress of Beauxbatons. If I remember, tonight is the night when they will be announcing the ones who will represent each school in the tournament.
Dumbledore started to announce the first two chosen champions as the Goblet of Fire gives its names. When it was time to announce the Hogwarts Champion. I could feel all the students stiff with excitement, waiting for it.
Finally, a piece of parchment paper flew out of the fire and Dumbledore took it. Opening it, he shouted his name.
"Cedric Diggory!" Every Hufflepuff roared with happiness. Genevieve, who sat beside me, cheered for our school's champion. I, on the other hand, clapped formally.
When Diggory shook his hands with Dumbledore, our eyes locked for a couple of seconds before he smiled widely at me and then went inside the chamber where they were told to come after announcing their name.
"I saw that." My friend grinned at me but ignored her, bringing back my attention to the Headmaster.
He was interrupted when another piece of parchment paper flew out once again from the Goblet. A lot of us were surprised. Didn't they say that only three champions were to be chosen for this tournament?
Dumbledore opened the paper once again. I saw the bewildered look on his face. That's when I knew that something was bound to happen.
"Harry Potter!"
*****
After the first task, some people started to cheer for Potter. While most of the Hufflepuffs still hated the fact that Potter even survived the first task.
While the Hufflepuff vs Gryffindor is huge heat around the school, students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons started to ask someone out for the Yule Ball. Genevieve and Daphne were already been asked out by a couple of guys.
But in the end, Genevieve went with Zacharias Smith from Hufflepuff. While Daphne decided to go with my brother. I couldn't believe a second when Theo asked her in front of me.
"You're the only one left who hasn't got no one to go to the ball." Genevieve sat beside me.
"You're saying that it's like a big deal," I responded without looking at her.
"Of course, it is! Some boys from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons--even girls are trying to ask you but before they could, all you do is scare them off!" She complained.
"Thank you, because that's exactly what I was doing. I'm not going." Genevieve seems like she wanted to protest my decision but it's already been decided.
"Theo! Convince your sister!" Genevieve shouted across the room. Theo looked in our direction, shrugged his shoulders, and continued flirting with Daphne.
I stood up from the sofa, deciding to go for a walk around the Black Lake. Genevieve wanted to come but she knew I didn't need company.
Sitting on a large rock near the Lake as the cold wind touched my skin. I started to read a book that I borrowed from the Library.
A moment later, I heard a noise that made me take my wand that was placed in my pocket and pointed it in the direction where the noise came from.
"Who's there?" A familiar boy came out from the back of the tree.
"Diggory?" I lowered my wand and glared at him.
"Sorry. I didn't know you were here." I raised an eyebrow in his response.
I was ready to leave before anyone can see us and then tell the whole school about my encounter with their beloved Diggory. But he held my wrist. I looked at his eyes and heard him gulp.
"What are you doing? Let go of my wrist." I sounded irritated to get his hand off me. I'm sure I was trying to scare him.
"Sorry." Then he took his hand off. "Do you have time? I wanted to talk."
Without saying a word, I faced him and crossed my arms, waiting for him to say something. It took a while before he realized that I was waiting for him to speak.
"Sorry--"
"Stop apologizing, Diggory. What do you want?" He looks quite nervous.
"Have you got a date on the ball yet?"
"No. I don't plan on going. Is that all?" I answered, quickly.
"You aren't?" I shook my head as an answer. I could see the disappointment on his face.
Even if I go and agreed to come with him, a lot of people will be surprised to see us go together. And I hate having people's attention on me.
And I'm a Nott. I came from a pureblood family. I cannot go with a half-blood. Never. It'll be a sin. Father will be disappointed. And I can't let that happen.
"Why?"
"I don't see there's a reason for me to tell you. Goodbye, Diggory." Without waiting for his reply, I left him.
*****
As expected, Genevieve heard that I rejected Diggory. If you want to know how did she know. It was because of Smith.
"I'm writing to your father!" She shouted. She went to get a quill and a paper.
"Stop. Father wouldn't even bother. And I'm not supposed to be with half-bloods anyway." I levitated the quill and paper from her and placed them somewhere else.
"Who cares who you want to be with?! We're young." She said. "You rejected Diggory, Y/N! You must be mental. Everybody would be down to be asked by him!" She scolded me as if she were my mother and failed to set me up with some guy.
"It's just a ball, Gen. And besides, it's my choice." She took my wrist and dragged me out of the Common Room.
"What the bloody hell are you doing? Let me go or you'll regret it." I hissed at her but she ignored me. I was searching for my wand in my pocket as she spoke again.
"Your brother has your wand. I gave it to him a while ago before I could drag you." I saw her grin. I gave up and followed her willingly.
"I know you don't like me being nosy. But you need to loosen up, Y/N. After all, you're still underage. Have some fun! So, going with Diggory or not, you'll still be attending the ball with me!"
*****
I still reasoned with my friend not to bring me with her to the ball. Thought that I might ruin her date with Smith. But Smith told me that it was fine. I was annoyed at him when he came to fetch Genevieve with me. He was smiling like an idiot and I was assuming that's because she got my friend as his date.
I was wearing a dark emerald green dress robe that my mother used to own. I guess it was the right idea to agree to bring this dress robe with me.
"How do I look?" I held Genevieve's wrist before entering the Great Hall. Smith also stopped his tracks and looked at me.
"If you ask me, you look amazingly hot--but Genevieve's way hotter than you." He held his sides when Genevieve nudge it a while ago. I cast a glare at him and he turned away but still stood in his position beside his date.
"You'll be fine, Y/N. It's not like you haven't attended a ball before." She smiled at me with comfort. She was right, I shouldn't get nervous. This is just like the ball that my father, Theo, and I always attend.
Taking a deep breath, we saw Diggory entering the Hall with Chang. He caught my eyes for a second. He was surprised to see me since I told him during our last encounter that I'm not going. But then he looked away immediately. Smith, his best friend who's with us, surely notice our eye contact a few seconds ago.
He cleared his throat, offering his arm to Genevieve, which she took as her cheeks flushed red. Rolling my eyes at the two of them for making me regret that I even agreed to come with them in the first place.
I let them two go in first as I walk behind them. Some students were looking at me, and as I usually do, I glared at them. They quickly turned their attention to Genevieve and Smith.
The evening went nicely, for Genevieve and my brother. As they were indulging themselves on the dance floor with their dates. As for me, I only sat for almost 2 hours, watching them enjoying the ball. I was getting bored so I decided that after the last song played, I'll go find Genevieve and tell her that I'll be going first.
"You need to loosen up, Y/N. After all, you're still underage. Have some fun!"
It's impossible for me to have fun. It was never my nature. Maybe because I never let myself have fun.
The song was almost finished when I decided to look for Genevieve. The dance floor was crowded so I tried my best to push them away so they could give me some way. I tried to push a tall figure in front of me but held my hands and dragged me somewhere quiet.
"Can we dance?" And then there I saw his charming face. His cheeks were red, probably because of the excitement he was having and it was also cold in here.
"You're ditching your date, Diggory." Pulling away from my wrist from him.
"Nott, can we please dance?" He ignored my response and asked the same question.
One dance wouldn't hurt so I agreed to dance with him. I was expecting him to lead me to the dance floor again to dance. But we just stood in our position. He went closer to me and held my hand, pulling me close as my other hand on his shoulder and his other hand wrapped around my waist. His face was so close that even without knowing it, I looked into his eyes.
His face went closer to my ear. He breathed closer to my neck which gave me shivers. What was he doing? What I was feeling wasn't normal...
"I hope you don't mind dancing here." Even though we were a bit far from the dance floor, the music can still be heard from here. It was less crowded so I nodded as a response and as a thank you.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" We started to dance slowly.
"Not really. I'm not fond of these...things." My face changed when I saw two Gryffindors snogging at my sight. That's just disgusting. Don't they have manners? Kissing in public as if they own the place.
"I see... Well, you look absolutely beautiful, Nott. You're breathtaking." And there he gave me his bright idiotic smile. Something inside of me just wanted to burst. It was cold in here and yet why do I feel it's starting to get warm?
"Stop flirting with me, Diggory. I don't want to see your girlfriend getting angry at me." I rolled my eyes as he let out a soft chuckle.
"I don't have a girlfriend." He said whilst he placed my hand on his other shoulder and his other hand on the other side of my waist. Pulling me closer than ever. I'm starting to get nervous about what would happen next which was unusual because I never get nervous.
"Tell me to stop, Nott. And I'll pull myself away from you. I'll stop these feelings I have for you. Just say something and I'll do it." He whispered into my ear.
He was the first person to tell me that he likes me. Something in me just wants to tell him to stop so I could end this early and go into our separate ways. But there is just something inside of me that tells me not to. To continue because I wanted to know what real love feels like.
To enjoy life like other people my age does. Will he give me a better view of everything?
"I don't know what love feels like..."
My parents were engaged in a loveless marriage as it was forced to tie their families to maintain their bloodline pure. I was expecting--no I am sure that father will also do the same thing for me and my brother.
Deep in my thoughts whilst waiting for him to answer, I suddenly felt his soft lips pressed into my forehead.
"Maybe I could teach you."
*****
Not a week after that night, it was a huge gossip when they discovered that Diggory was seeing me out. Girls felt betrayed by how their beloved Diggory was in love with me. Some say I bewitched him by having him drink something that contains a love potion.
"I swear to merlin's beard. Make your girlfriends shut up or I'll do it myself, Diggory." I hissed at him. He just laughed at me and intertwined his fingers into mine.
"I wouldn't mind you handling them by yourself." He winked at me as we walk through the corridors. His girls didn't dare to glare or say something at me because they know what will happen if they did.
"Sister!" Theo approached us. "Snape was looking for you."
"Why would he look for me?"
"I don't know. He didn't tell me anything else." He shrugged his shoulders and went away.
Diggory looked at me and lift our intertwined hands together as he placed a soft kiss on the back of my hand.
"I'll see you later." He smiled at me. Rolling my eyes, I let go of his hand.
"Hopefully, not," I responded.
"That's a lie." He grinned before looking for his friends.
I went into Snape's office. I greeted him and the next thing I knew everything went black.
I opened my eyes and felt the cold water all over my body. I looked at Diggory who was holding me tightly as we both swam back into the stands where the professors were waiting for us. They immediately wrapped us with a thick cloth. Genevieve went closer to me to check if I was okay.
"Thank Merlin you're alright!" She sighed with relief and went in to hug me.
Another thick cloth wrapped around me and helped me to get up. Their arms wrapped around me, caressing the side of my arm.
"I'm sorry, Nott. I'm really sorry." Diggory's face was filled with guilt but I made sure that it was fine.
"You need to learn how to stop apologizing for something you didn't do, Cedric."
*****
It was finally the third and final task. I was starting to get nervous and worried for Cedric. But he assured me a couple of times that it was fine, that he can handle it. The feeling of something bad will happen in this tournament was still here.
"If you don't come back, I'll find you and kill you myself." I glared at him as he laughs at me.
"I do not know if that's the way you show your emotions or a threat."
"I'm serious, Diggory." I hate to admit that I'm really falling for him. I thought it would be impossible but he did break through my walls. I don't know what he did but he sure taught me how to love.
"A kiss for me for good luck?" He grinned and I ignored his request.
"Keep dreaming, Diggory." I went outside the tent and went to find Genevieve, together with the other Hufflepuffs.
"Looks like you enjoy making out with Diggory." Smith winked at me and raised my middle finger at him.
The four champions went inside the maze. The first one to come out was Fleur, Beauxbatons' champion. Then there's Krum, Durmstrang's champion. This means Potter and Cedric were the only ones left inside.
I was starting to get worried. The bad feeling I couldn't shake off, but Genevieve and Smith kept telling me that everything will be okay. That I should have faith in Cedric. I don't care if he loses or if he wins, what matters to me is that he will come back home safely to his family, and his friends. He will come back home safe to me...
Merlin, he's driving me crazy.
Then the bands started to play loudly. Students and professors started to gather around as the three of us join through the crowd. I heard Fleur scream which made me nervous to death.
Please...
"Voldemort's back... He's back..." Potter cried while he was hugging his body. Cedric's body. Theo and I met our gaze when Potter mentioned You-know-who returned.
You-know-who's back... that means...
"Cedric, he got knocked out. I don't know if he's... I just brought him back with me. I couldn't leave him there." He cried once more. I could feel my throat tighten. I wanted to get closer and check if he was alive but his parents and Madam Pomfrey went first.
I saw her check his pulse and saw the relief on her face.
"He's just unconscious. He needs to get to the Hospital Wing, quickly."
*****
Three days passed and I haven't got the chance to see him. I did not want to see him. With Potter announcing that You-know-who is back, this made me worried so bad. I could see my brother's face, it was emotionless. But I knew he was also worried.
We weren't proud to have our father as a death eater. This also means when we come in age, we will have to bear the mark. I couldn't tell Cedric everything. But I think it's the best way if I end up everything. We weren't supposed to be together in the first place.
I won't forgive myself if something happens to him.
"Madam Pomfrey says he can have visitors." Genevieve sat beside me. We were the only ones left in the Common Room. I didn't answer her and just continued to look at the fireplace. "Whatever's in your mind Y/N, you should stop it."
"It's for the better, Gen," I said without looking at her.
"Then what about you?" I looked at her with tears in my eyes. This was the first she saw me crying because I never cried at anything. I was heartless and cold, and everybody was scared of me. Because that's how I want them to view me. Genevieve wrapped her arms around me and caressed me.
"You spent your whole life obeying his rules. Living your life for him. But what about yourself? Does everything you do, is truly what you want? I saw the look on your face when you started to go out with Diggory. He changed you--no. He made you be yourself. You're you when you're with him. You're free. So, for once, Y/N... Do not let go of the things that gave you hope, freedom, and happiness." I continued to cry as she comforted me with words that gave me realization.
"It's not in our traits as a Slytherin but...be brave." We both let out a soft laugh. Pulling away from her, she wiped my tears.
"Thank you, Gen."
"It's nothing. Now, go visit him. He's been dying to see you. Quite a stubborn if you ask me. He refused to take medicines unless he sees you first."
The next day, I entered the Wing and saw Madam Pomfrey treating another student. She leads me the way to Cedric. And there I saw him, talking to Smith but immediately ignored his friend when he saw me.
"That's my cue to leave." Smith stood up and went close to my direction. "Take it easy on him, Nott." Then he left.
I went to the chair where Smith was sitting earlier. I gave Cedric a soft smile as he took my hand into his.
"Were you crying, love? I'm sorry I made you worry."
"I did not cry. It's just dust... I'm allergic to them." He smiled and rolled his eyes at me.
"You're a bad liar." I still couldn't look at him. I kept my eyes on the ground refusing to meet his gaze. "Y/N. Will you look at me, please?" I didn't listen to him.
I was forced to look at him when he pulled me closer, cupping my face. He was surprised to see me crying. He was panicking so he just pulled me closer to his chest, making me lean on his.
"Tell them that I'm crying and you're dead." I threatened him between my cries. He laughed at me and continued to caress my back, kissing my head as he inhaled, smelling my perfume. I could feel my whole body start to relax in his embrace.
"I finally found your soft side." He muttered.
"And what is it?"
"Me." Then he continued to cuddle me in his hospital bed, his arms wrapped around my waist as I lay comfortably in his chest. Ignoring that Madam Pomfrey might catch us comfortably cuddling each other.

Okay, this was long. Took me 3 days to finish it. I realized how hard it was to come up with a good story. I even looked into the internet and Harry Potter books just to check if I'm writing the scenario correctly.
Also, did you recognize the reference I just wrote, if you still remembered reading it?
But anyway, I still hoped you enjoyed it, guys!

Tumblr media
He had made a mistake, he knew that as soon as it happened.
And he didn’t mean walking away from her after she had told him she loved him. He meant allowing her to fall in love with him in the first place.
Logically thinking, he knew that it wasn’t necessarily something he could control, but he also knew that it was something that was never meant to happen.
Yes he loved her. Of course he did. How could he not? She was everything he had ever wanted in a girl. Beautiful and kind, feisty and passionate. She was everything he would never be and he had loved her from the moment he had called her his for the very first time.
But he had never intended for her to fall in love with him. There were countless of reasons why she shouldn’t have, why he wasn’t good enough for her and why she could do so much better. And yet the only thing that mattered was that he knew that he couldn’t make her happy, not in the way others could.
Not in the way Cedric Diggory could.
He knew it wasn’t fair that he was jealous, not after he had broken her heart and pushed her away, basically forcing her into the arms of another boy, a boy who was good and kind and the polar opposite of Draco. A guy who would move heaven and hell to make her happy.
Not that Draco wouldn’t. If he could, he would turn around every single pebble in the entire world, collect every single rose in existence and even count all the stars in the galaxy if it would make her happy. The problem was that he knew that no matter what he did, it would never be enough. And the worst part was that she would never admit it.
She was a proud girl, easily the only person even prouder than him, and she never minded to call Draco out on his bullshit. But she knew that telling him that he didn’t make her happy would break his heart, and she would never do that to him, not even if her life depended on it.
So he did the only right thing and broke hers instead. He hoped she knew that his shattered in a million more pieces and, unlike hers, would never be mended again.
When he had first heard that Y/N started to see Cedric, he had convinced himself that he was happy for her. And why shouldn’t he be? The girl he loved was finally with someone who would treat her well no matter what, whose family wasn’t a bunch of psychopaths and who would never, ever hurt her.
But life wasn’t fucking fair that way. Instead of being happy for her, he felt more miserable with each passing day, resenting Cedric for doing the one thing he would never be able to do and for being with the one person he would never be with again.
He had watched them together, every day for four months, feeling his heart somehow break a little more whenever he caught a glimpse of them, even though he couldn’t understand how there was anything left to break.
When he saw them sitting outside on a bench, with Cedric looking at her as if she was his entire world— the same exact way Draco had always and would always look at her— playing with a strand of her hair, he had known what he was about to tell her. In all honesty, Draco was surprised he hadn’t said it already, but he knew that it was probably because he had known that Y/N wasn’t ready to hear it, not yet at least. Of course he would be considerate enough to wait until she was comfortable enough with hearing those words. He fucking hated that asshole.
He hadn’t meant to linger once he understood what was about to happen, not wanting to see her happy expression and to see her mouth the words back at him, but he had caught her eyes for a simple second and for some reason he was convinced she wouldn’t say it back.
Maybe it was just wishful thinking, or maybe whatever God was listening to him pray at night to please not let her fall in love with anyone that wasn’t him had heard him and decided to grant him his one wish, at least for now, but he was convinced that she would get up from that bench, breaking Cedric’s heart in the exact same way Draco had broken hers, and when he saw her storm away, saw the hurt and shocked expression on Cedric’s face and made the faint movement of his body out to be sobs, he had known that he was right.
But instead of letting well enough alone and treating this as a win, he decided to run after her because yes he was that stupid.
“Y/N! Hey, wait.” he had yelled out to her, but instead of faltering in her steps, she just seemed to try and walk even faster, almost breaking out into a run herself. But Draco was fast, faster than her, anyways, which is why he finally caught up to her and managed to grab her by the wrist to stop her from walking away from him again. He knew as soon as he did it, though, that that was a mistake, because he forgot that he had been the one to teach her some simple Muggle self-defense tricks he had read about in a book once, which led to her twisting his arm just so, leaving him incredibly close to bursting into tears himself because ouch.
“Don’t you dare fucking touch me, Malfoy.” she hissed at him before letting go and kicking him in the shin for good measure. “You’re the last fucking person I want to be seeing right now.”
He knew he should let it go at this point. He knew he should just nod his head and walk away. It was the smart thing to do. And while he prided himself in being one of the smartest wizards in Hogwarts, he also wasn’t above admitting that even smart people had their idiotic moments from time to time. This just so happened to be his.
“Why didn’t you tell him that you loved him?”
Widening her eyes in horror, she looked at him incredulously, as if he had just told her that the sky was green and pigs could fly. “What the hell, Malfoy? Are you spying on me now?” she furiously yelled, hitting his chest in the process. “You sick fucking bastard! Was breaking my heart not enough for you? Are you going to follow me around and torture me with every single bad decision I make now, too?” Tears had begun to stream down her cheeks, and she stopped her abuse on his chest in order to hastily wipe them away.
Rubbing slow circles on his sore chest with one hand, he used the other one to reach into his robe pocket to produce a handkerchief and offer it to her. Prideful as always, she obviously declined.
He knew he should leave. He really did. And yet he couldn’t stop the next words from escaping his mouth.
“You looked happy with him.” Every bone in his body told him that that was the wrong thing to say, and yet it was the truth. She did look happy with him. Maybe not as happy as she had with him, but then again, he always would be biased when it came to that, wouldn’t he be? The time he had spent with her by his side was without a doubt the happiest of his life. Was it too much to expect the same to be true for her? Probably, but that didn’t stop him from doing so anyways.
Lost in thought, he almost didn’t notice her scoffing at his stupid words and throw her arms in the air in defeat. “Fuck you, Draco. You broke up with me. You broke my heart. You have no right to make my life any of your business anymore.”
After one more look in Draco’s direction, and seemingly seeing his puppy dog eyes (which he knew she had never been able to say no to) she shot him one more dark look before ripping the handkerchief from his hand and furiously dabbing at her face, trying not to ruin her already-ruined mascara any more.
“Do you have any idea how badly I wanted to fall in love with him?” she started, a shaky and humorless laugh leaving her lips. “Every night I prayed to whoever would listen that I would wake up the next day, magically in love with him. That’s how badly I wanted it, Draco.” Her voice was softer now, and the tears were still streaming down her face, faster than they did before. “I tried so hard, and I just couldn’t. And honestly, I’m not sure I will ever be able to fall in love with anyone ever again.”
“Why not?” he asked, with a look of clear confusion visible on his face.
Scrunching her nose up the way she always did before she was going to say something that she didn’t really want to say but chose to say anyways, because some things simply couldn’t go unsaid, the next words out of her mouth would be ones Draco would never be able to forget, not in this lifetime or the next. “I deserved to fall in love with him, Draco, because all flaws and errors aside, I have always been a good girlfriend, both to him and you. And I deserve to find a nice guy who treats me right and who loves me. He’s who I deserve to end up with, and he’s who I always wished I would end up with. He’s my picture perfect fantasy.” She wasn’t looking him in the eyes at this point, busy playing with the hem of her robe, and Draco was for once glad for that. He didn’t think he would’ve managed not to burst into tears himself had she been looking at him directly. Taking a shaky breath, she continued “But no matter how many times he did or said the right thing, all I could think about was how wrong it felt, because it’s not what you would’ve done or said. It’s not what would’ve either driven me up the wall or made me want to curl up and cry because that was just the most romantic thing ever and I needed a good two-to-three business days to recover from that. Everything he did was nice, but it wasn’t horrible and it wasn’t amazing, either. And I don’t want nice anymore. I don’t want good and okay. I don’t want for someone to open the door for me and tell me I look great. You ruined that for me. Because now all I want is for someone to tell me that I’m insane but that they could never imagine their life without me in it. I want to scream and fight and then I want to go home and make up. I want this crazy fucking love that we used to have, and don’t you dare tell me it wasn’t love. I know you loved me. And honestly, I think you still do, which just makes me hate you more because all this time I was so miserable because you told me that you didn’t love me, but you obviously do, so I don’t understand why we’re not together, why I have to settle for less, for something that-“ She never got to finish her sentence, and Draco never got to hear the rest of what she had to say, because his lips were pressed to hers in a blazing kiss that was ten-times more passionate than any kiss they ever had shared before.
It felt as if he tried to convey all of his emotions and feelings, all of his regrets and most importantly all of his love into this kiss, and he’s pretty sure he made his point, because instead of pushing him away, she decided to wrap her hands around his neck and hold on for dear life, as if she was scared he might just walk away from her again if she didn’t.
A good few minutes passed before the two of them finally put some distance between them, albeit not very much, still clinging to the other as if they were their only lifeline.
Draco kept repeating the words “I’m sorry” over and over again, kissing every inch of Y/N’s face in between words, wiping her tears away with his thumbs and feeling like such an idiot for ever letting her go in the first place. “I thought I was doing the right thing.” he admitted with a sad smile on his face. “I thought you were better off without me. I thought— you deserve better, love. So much better than I could ever offer you.”
Shaking her head and cupping his face in her hands, she made sure he was looking her right in the eyes before she said what she was about to say next, making sure he would see each and every word leave her lips. “I don’t want better. I just want you.” she whispered, so quietly only he could hear her, the only person she could ever imagine saying these words to. The only person she’d ever mean them with.
They looked like absolute fools to anyone passing by, two idiots standing in the middle of seemingly nowhere, with quivering lips, red eyes and puffy cheeks, but neither of them had it in them to care, because when Draco finally said those three words, the ones that didn’t fix everything, but made it clear that together, they could fix absolutely anything, no matter what, they had finally found their happy ending. Together, just like it was always meant to be. And all it took was for Draco to accept that that’s the way she loved him, and for him to tell her that that’s the way he loved her. Utterly, deeply and completely.
In the end, it was the thing that broke them apart that ended up gluing them back together.
All it took were three simple words.
A promise. A confession. A lifetime.
All it took was “I love you.”

✰  ✰  ✰
“Malfoy!” You shouted from down the hall.
Draco was leaning against the wall in the hallway near your potions class, laughing with Mattheo when you yelled. As he turned to look at you, his eyes widened in fear.
You stormed up to him, the heels of your barbie costume clacked down the hallway. When you finally got up to him, you gave his shoulder a little nudge. “You lied to me!”
You crossed your arms and angrily tapped your foot against the floor. Draco had agreed to dress up for Halloween this year. He knew it was your favorite holiday back in the muggle world, and as your boyfriend, he agreed to dress up with you.
Unfortunately for you, Draco did not hold up his end of the deal this morning. He was supposed to be wearing his Ken costume to match your Barbie.
“I thought we agreed we would both wear our costumes to celebrate!” You huffed. “Even ‘Mione is wearing her Halloween costume.” You sadly added.
Draco’s eyes softened as your anger turned to hurt. “Oh, baby, I’m so sorry. I totally forgot what day it was, I’m sorry baby.”
He grabbed onto you and pulled you into a hug. His arms wrapped around your shoulders as he held you.
Mattheo clapped Draco on the back. “I’ll talk to you later, mate. See ya, (Y/N).”
You mumbled a goodbye to Mattheo as you nuzzled your face against Draco’s chest. “You’re a butthead, you know that?”
Draco chuckled and started rubbing his hands through your hair. “I’m sorry, darling. Really I am. I completely forgot about my costume this morning.”
You pulled away from his hug and looked up at him. “Well, it’s still morning,” you offered with a small smile, “let’s go up to your room and get your costume!”
Draco rolled his eyes with a teasing smile. “Will that make you happy, baby?”
You nodded your head, gently biting on your lip to hold back your grin.
Draco sighed as a grin took over his face. “Alright! Alright,” he put his hands up in mock surrender, “I’ll put it on for you, doll.”
You squealed and took his hand. “Yay! Let’s go, let’s go!” You pulled him behind you as you speed-walked down the hall towards the Slytherin common room.
Draco chuckled as he trailed behind you. The two of you half jogged all the way down the corridor where the Slytherin door was. You pushed through the door and pulled Draco up to his room.
“Okay! Let’s get you Ken-ified!” You giggled as you eagerly sat on his bed.
Draco smirked with a shake of his head. “You’re something else.”
He opened up his closet and pushed past all of the button up shirts and dress pants to get to the very end where his Ken costume hung. He pulled out the hanger and held up his costume for you to see.
You squealed as you clapped your hands. “Oh, you’re gonna look so cute dressed as Ken, Draco. You’ve got the most perfect hair for this costume.
Draco chuckled and brought his outfit to the bathroom with him. “Thanks, darling. Be right out.” He shut the door and started getting changed into his costume.
You couldn’t handle the anticipation. You loved Halloween, and you were so excited to finally get to celebrate with someone else. Most of the other wizards you knew, even some muggle born, didn’t even care about Halloween.
You’re just so thankful you’ve got a boyfriend who cares about you enough to do silly things like dress up with you.
Walking out of the bathroom, Draco did a little spin to show you his Ken costume.
“You look so cute!” You gushed. You stood up to walk towards him. Your fingers trailed over his shirt collar fixing things as you went.
“I’m not cute, I’m sexy.” Draco teased. He kissed the top of your head and laced his fingers in yours. “Come on, sweetheart, before we’re late to next class.”
You giggled and let him put you out of his room. “I think we’re already on the verge of being late, Dray.”
That didn’t stop him. He kept walking all the way out of the Slytherin room and out to the main hallways. “Yes, yes, I just want everyone to see our matching costumes.”
“You do?” You smiled. There weren’t very many people in the hallways, just a few stragglers who were slowly making their way to next period.
“Of course I do.” He reassured. As the two of you arrived at your shared next class, Draco took a minute to stand outside the door with you. “I am really sorry I forgot this morning. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to dress up with you. I’m not entirely sure how I forgot, to be honest, but I hope this can make up for it, darling.”
You smiled up at him. Draco was really sweet when he wanted to be. You giggled and reached up to ruffle his hair. “I’m not mad at you, Dray. Thank you for putting the costume on with me. I’m really happy to be celebrating with you.”
“Anything for you, darling. Now, let’s show everyone how kickass we are as Barbie and Kev.”
“It’s Ken, Draco.”
“I’m better than him anyway, it doesn’t matter.”
With a roll of your eyes, you let Draco pull you into the classroom.
He really was sassy, and a little full of himself, but no one could say he didn’t care for you. You felt really lucky to have a boyfriend like him.

A Race to The End
You had finally finished your homework and looked over to the bed to see Cedric smiling while reading a book. You had never even heard of the title but you knew that feeling well and couldn't help but smile too.
He caught you looking at him and lowered the book for a moment to direct his smile at you.
"That must be a good book." You say at his stupidly cute smile.
"It is, you should read it." He says, excitement from the story wearing off but his smile staying in place.
"Maybe I'll even catch up to you." You half joke, trying to see how far he's already gotten.
"I’m not sure you could. I'm already a good few chapters in and catching up isn’t an accomplishment if I wait for you." He says.
"I accept the challenge." You say, leaving for the library.
You march down the hall with great purpose for all of a few seconds before you turn around.
"...What's the name of the book?"
Cedric laughs and decides to come with you to make sure you get the right book.
When you both enter the library, he leads you over to the romance section.
"Ooo, it's a romance?" You ask, since you really hadn't thought about what the book would be about, only that your best friend liked it.
He chuckles and continues to look for a book that matches the one he was reading earlier.
"So, what happens if you somehow beat me to the end of this book?" He asks, searching the shelves.
"If I beat you to the end of your cheesy romance novel..." You pause to think, "You have to read one of my favourite books." You declare. "And what if I hypothetically can’t beat you?"
"If you can't finish the book before I do..." He pauses the same as you had, "You have to reenact my favourite scene with me." 
The way he analyzes your face after this suggestion confirms he probably means a cheesy and/or romantic part of the book.
"Like putting on a play?" You ask, though you’re confident you won’t lose anyway.
"Not exactly, just putting ourselves in place of the characters."
"Alright… you're on!" You say, taking the book that he had since gotten off a high shelf.
Ever since making the bet, you had been buried in the book every spare moment you had. While eating, when you finish work early in class and from as soon as you finish studying to when you go to sleep. You even read on the walks between every class.
The only breaks outside of doing school work are the small moments when you catch Cedric looking at you instead of reading his book. He looks at you dreamily as if he were thinking of something, though not distant enough for him not to notice you.
"Ced, if you aren't taking this seriously, you're going to lose!" You say playfully, over the side of your book. He snaps out of his trance, or whatever that was, but doesn’t yet continue reading.
"How far have you gotten?" He asks, trying to look over your shoulder at a weird angle.
"Why? Trying to call off the bet?" You ask, but show him your placement anyway. In the few days you've had it, you already have caught up to his chapter deep into the book.
"Would you like to claim your prize now, or read the second half of the book first?" He asks.
"Do you already know your favourite scene? Maybe I’ll want to lose..."
"I do have something in mind. If you want, we could add it to your reward instead." He offers, in case you need more encouragement to continue the book.
"I do like a nice surprise... okay! But then what's your prize for winning?" You ask.
"Nothing? I mean, it's fair since I had the upper hand in the beginning."
"I guess it doesn't really matter, since I'll be beating you anyway." You say confidently and turn back to your reading.
The two of you read together in Cedric's prefect dorm every moment you have available, occasionally checking in on one another, but ultimately reading in content and competitive silence.
One evening, while you near the end of the novel, you both stay together longer than expected, lost in the story. You somehow don't even catch yourself falling asleep until you are too tired to keep your eyes open and on the pages.
When Cedric realizes you have fallen asleep, he puts your bookmark back in place, sets it on his bedside table, and makes sure you are comfortably under the covers.
The next morning, you wake up sleeping on his chest. You quickly move off and away from him, but still close enough to admire his peacefully sleeping face. You decide to cuddle up to him again, and wait for him to wake up.
As he starts to stir under you, you pretend you are still asleep. He smiles down at you, moves a piece of hair out of your face and whispers something you can't quite hear. After a few more seconds of trying to see him without him knowing you are awake, you make a show of waking up.
"How did you sleep?" He asks, not mentioning the position the both of you are in.
"...I'm almost finished with the book, just a few more pages..." You say tiredly, reaching for the bedside table on Cedric’s side.
He hands it to you, smiling as you try to read as fast as you can.
A couple minutes go by before you close the book dramatically.
"I win!! I'll get you the book you'll be reading next after you finish yours." You say.
"As for your other prize..." Cedric says, bringing you closer. You look into his eyes when, before you can even ask any questions, his lips meet yours.
When you have to pull back for a breath, you smile.
"If you wanted to kiss me, you could have just asked, Ced"
