A snake and a lion~Ron Weasley x reader

Rita Skeeter was here, I hated every second of it. Every time Cedric and I spent any time together she was there with her camera and notepad ready to interview us. Like now, we were sitting under a tree in the courtyard as he helped me with my transfiguration homework. 

" Oh, there's the love birds!" She exclaimed once she saw us. " Engaged at seventeen to a fourteen-year-old, don't you think you're too young?" She asked.

" Don't you think you're too old?" I asked in return not looking up from my writing.

" Hmm, feisty, Cedric did you propose because of the dangers of the trails and the fact you didn't know if you'd come out of them the same or even alive?" She asked turning away from me and making it seem dramatic.

" I proposed because I love her," He said and I could hear it in his voice that he was getting annoyed.

" But aren't you both too young to know what true love is?" She asked leaning forward.

" Well at least we have each other and won't die sad and alone like you," I smiled sweetly at her getting fed up with all her questions. She sat back looking appaled at what I had said. " Leave before I make you." She got up and left mumbling how she was still young and in her prime. I heard Cedric laugh as I glared at her until she was out of sight.

" That was awesome to watch," He commented when I went back to writing, I just hummed in response. " Harry told me what the first trial was," He said getting my attention.

" What is it? Is it hard? Are you going to get hurt?" I rambled, the worry creeping back in at the mention of any of the trails.

" It's dragons," He said in a whisper.

" Dragons?!" I yelled earning some looks as he covered my mouth.

" Shush! Yes, dragons, I've got a plan though I won't get hurt," He explained and I mumbled against his hand since he hadn't removed it yet. He took it off saying sorry so I had to repeat myself.

" What's the plan?"

I woke up earlier than I usually would since I was meeting Hermione to go done to the tournament. I put my hair in loose curls and then into a ponytail along with some light makeup. I put on Ced's sweater, his luck one, I always wore it to his Quidditch matches even when he was against my own house. I heard the portrait open and I saw Hermione and I smiled, I had told her the password in case I didn't get up on time. She began pacing as I tied my shoes.

" It's going to be okay 'Mione the boys both have plans, right?" I asked and she nodded.

" But Harry's so young! At least Cedric knows some magic that could help him," She exclaimed and I ended up dragging her out of the room. 

" It'll all be fine, I promise," I said but it felt as though I was speaking to myself as I said this.

Cedric's POV

I was in the tent waiting for my turn to go out into the field when I heard Harry talking to someone. I looked over and saw Hermione jump in and hug him just as Rita took a picture. I really did not like the woman.

" Ah! Young love!" She exclaimed and I felt bad for the two knowing how it felt to be in their situation. " How... Stirring. If anything goes unfortunate, you two may even make the front page," She smiled and I rolled my eyes. 

" Hermione, where'd you go?" I heard Y/n ask and Hermione grabbed her and pulled her in. She didn't even say hi to Harry as she ran up to me and jumped, I caught her smiling.

" You have no business here," Viktor said. "This tent is for champions and friends." I looked down at Y/n as she watched Viktor.

" No matter we got what we wanted," She said, I held Y/n to my side worried she'd go off on the woman. When she left the Dumbledore came in.
