Cedric x reader

Chapter 6

*Where is y/n! Cedric walks anxiously down the hallway, he have searched everywhere. The second task is about to start and he really could use a little 'good luck' or a hug. He glance at his watch, Damn! I only have 15 minutes before the task starts. He race quickly to the lake, hoping y/n would be there.*

(y/n's perspective)

*You feel empty, your mind is blank, your body feels numb, you can't see, you can't hear and why does your nose feel funny? You try commanding your arm to move but it won't respond. This must be the effect of the spell Professor Dumbledore cast on me, you think. Guess there's not much to do except to wait.*

(Cho's perspective)

*Cho is standing close to the railing, the wind blow powerfully making her shiver. It's been over half an hour and Cedric is still in that lake. She bites her nails, worried. When suddenly, someone emerge from the lake, two people actually, coughing and spitting out water.*

(y/n's perspective)

*You cough and open your eyes, only to find yourself in the lake, drench. I can't swim, you panic as this thought cross your mind. You start splashing, trying to keep your head above the water.*

Cedric: y/n, calm down *You turn to see Cedric looking at you* I got you, don't worry *He smiles reassuringly, he have an arm around your waist, supporting you in the water, you throw both arms around his neck as you guys slowly make your way to the crowd* You okay? *He help you up the ladder and pull you into a tight embrace*

y/n: I'm okay *You breathe* I'm okay

Cedric: You didn't see how worried I was when I could not find you before the task *He kiss your forehead*

y/n: I'm sorry, I wasn't allow to tell anyone *You give him a weak smile*

*All of the sudden, Madam Pomfrey pull Cedric away and drape a towel over his shoulder*

Madam Pomfrey: Keep that towel around you! *She says sternly and Cedric nods before making his way to you again*

Cedric: Here *He take off his towel and wrap it around you*

y/n: I don't need it, I'm fine

Cedric: You are keeping that, no arguing *You smile at him adoringly before kissing his cheek swiftly*

Madam Pomfrey: DIGGORY! *She rushes over to Cedric and put another towel around him* Dry yourself and I'll bring over the pepper-up potion

Cedric: No, I'm fine, really *You giggle at his desperate attempt to avoid drinking the potion*

*All of the sudden, you hear a loud splashing by the lake. You leave Cedric with Madam Pomfrey as you rush over to see which champion has resurface. Krum, who's helping Hermione over to ladder, grin proudly at Karkaroff. So there's only Harry down the lake, you think, remembering that Fleur couldn't get pass the grindylows and had to be rescued. As the time tick on, you can't see the Chosen one anywhere. Beside you, a boy smirk stupidly to his friends, you know that he's a Malfoy but that is all you really know about him.*

A boy: It's Harry!! *You turn around to see Harry Potter emerging from the lake, coughing, while dragging another boy, probably his friend, and a beautiful girl who looks like Fleur younger sister*

Harry's friend: Wet, this, isn't it? *The boy, whose name you think is Ron, blink repeatedly before looking around. His expression change quickly when he sees Fleur's younger sister* What did you bring her for? *He questions Harry*

Harry: Fleur didn't turn up. I couldn't leave her

*You turn around, making you way over to a bench. You sit down and wait for the judges to discuss. You pull the towel tighter around your shoulder, cold. After some discussion, the judges face the curious audience, ready to announce the score.*

Cedric: *Sitting down beside you* Hey

y/n: Hey *You say tiredly, scooting closer to him*

Ludo Bagman: Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached our decision. Merchieftainess Murcus *who you assume is one of the merpeople Dumbledore was talking to earlier* has told us exactly what had happened at the bottom of the lake, and we have therefore decided to award marks out of fifty for each champion, as follows *He pause dramatically* Miss Fleur Delacour, though she demonstrated excellent use if the bubble-head charm, was attacked by grindylows as she approached goal, and failed to retrieve her hostage. We award her twenty five points *The crowd clap loudly*

Fleur: I deserved zero *She says with a French accent*

Ludo Bagman: Mr Cedric Diggory *You feel his hand sliding into yours and you squeeze it reassuringly* who also used the bubble-head charm, was first to return with his hostage, though he returned one minute outside the time limit of an hour *There is a loud cheer from the Hufflepuff and you give him a smile* We therefore award him forty seven points

y/n: Oh my god Cedric, *You turn to him* You did so well!

Cedric: *He grin as you hug him*

y/n: Congratulation! *You pull back*

Cedric: Thanks y/n

*And before you can register, you feel his lips against yours. You freeze awkwardly, unsure of what to do, your mind is too shock to fully register it. Noticing your uncertainty, he stops and pull back*

Cedric: I'm sorry, I should've ask *He look at you, embarrassed. The voices in the background seems to fade, you can't hear anyone, only him.* y/n- *He's still looking at you, waiting for your response, his cheeks are pink. It's cute to see him blush, you smile*

*This time it's you who's leaning in, closing the small gap between yours and his lips. He kiss you back, carefully and slowly. It's not a powerful and passionate kiss, no, it's a sweet and romantic first kiss. You taste the lake water, you feel the electrifying feeling deep within. You don't want this to stop but he pulls back and look at you like you are the most magnificent thing he have ever seen (which is probably true in his mind).*

y/n: How was that for a first kiss? *You smile teasingly* I'm your first kiss right?

Cedric: Of course you are, I might be undyingly gorgeous but I have never kiss anyone before *You laugh*

y/n: Yes, yes, you are very gorgeous *You peck his lip quickly before turning your attention back to Ludo Bagman*

Ludo Bagman: However... *You must have miss a lot, since you're quite confuse at what is happening* Mr Potter's score is forty five points *You know that in the first task, Harry was leading in first with Krum but now both Harry and Cedric are tied in first*

y/n: You're first! *You squeal happily to Cedric*

Cedric: Tied

y/n: Still first *You beam* You're awesome, you know that

Cedric: I do now *He wrap an arm around your waist* Thanks love

Ludo Bagman: The third and final task will take place at dusk on the twenty-fourth of June. The champions will be notified of what is coming, precisely one month beforehand. Thank you all for your support of the champions

*You and Cedric look at each other, not entirely worried, curious at what is going to come.*
