"Hey, Y/N!" The familiar sound of your dearest friend, Cedric Diggory, called out to you in the hallways. You slowed down your pace as he caught up to you. "Yea? You called me?" His sapphire blue eyes avoided eye contact and his soft lips curved into a small smile. "Yes... I was just wondering... If... Um..." You covered your mouth to hide your laughter as he stuttered a failed sentence. "Oh, Cedric. You might be a hero but you are bad at talking to me." You kissed his cheek and walked away, leaving Cedric blushing like crazy. She kissed my cheek. The words ring  in his head multiple times. "She kissed my cheek!" He yelled triumphantly, heard by nearby students. He looked around at the confused students and awkwardly coughed. He chuckled and walked away, saying the same thing to himself like a mantra.

During dinner, he kept glancing at the Gryffindor table to see you chatting happily with Harry and his friends. "So, Y/N. Have you gotten a date yet for the Yule Ball?" You spooned in some pudding in your mouth, letting the sweetness fill your mouth. "No one's asked me out yet." You smiled even though you said that. "But, what's the fun at a ball, anyways?" Just then, you felt someone tap your shoulder which made you almost knock your head into the person's body. It was Cedric with two of his friends standing behind him, ushering him to say it already. "Ah, Ced. What'd you want from me?" Cedric took in a very long breath and breathed out, cooling down his nerves. "Would you like to be my date to the ball?" You marveled at how he could say it in one whole breath but smiled. "What about the girl you liked so much? Why don't you ask her out?" Cedric laughed nervously and looked over his shoulder to the Ravenclaw table. "I just did ask her out." He took your hand and kissed your knuckles sweetly. "Aww. I'll go with you." When he left, you had a slight mental breakdown. "I don't have anything to wear. Mione, help me." Hermione gave you a a cheeky smile and patted your back. "Meet me in the girl's dorm later. I can help you with that." You gave her a huge hug and kissed her cheek. "Thank you so much! I love you." 

Later in the girl's dorm

You snuck in and saw Hermione sitting in her bed, waiting for your entrance. "Ah, finally. Took you long enough." You laughed nervously and closed the door behind you, the sound of it thudding loudly filled the room. "So, you have beautiful E/C eyes and you need something to just bring them out." You hummed as a reply as she grabbed her wand and swished it around. Just then, you felt yourself twirl without control and a white gown that fitted you perfectly, your collarbone and arms covered in silky white lace appeared in your body. "This is gorgeous but I don't want to be an angel. I'm anything but." Hermione tapped her chin and thought of another colour for this dress. "Maybe a dark maroon or dark blue?" At the word dark blue, her eyes lit up and she quickly flicked her wand. Your dress transformed into an aquamarine, the lace being black and your back was covered in lace as well. You twirled around and glanced in the mirror, seeing a beautiful young girl staring back at you. "Hermione, this is perfect. I love this shade." Hermione looked quite proud of herself and you changed back into your uniform.

"I owe you so much, Mione." She brought you in for a big hug and you hugged back. "Anything for my friend. You show Cedric a good time, alright?" You giggled and ruffled her hair. "Of course I will. And you show Viktor a good time too." She blushed at the name and crossed her arms across the chest. "Aw. I know he asked you to the ball. Quite charming really." She playfully nudged you and you both walked out of the dormitory.

That night

You leaned yourself against the wall, nervous to go show yourself how you look. Hermione was there too, trying to convince you to come with her. "Come on, Y/N. Its not the end of the world." You breathed in and out, biting on your thumb to soothe the nervousness. "What if he doesn't lime me looking like this? What if Malfoy comes out of nowhere and make fun of me?" Hermione rolled her eyes and grabbed  your shoulders gently, looking into your eyes. "What if? The important thing is that you have fun." You gave her a side smile and hugged her, saying into her ear softly, "What could we do without you?" You breathed in and out and gripped her hand as you made your way down the steps. Ron and Harry were at the bottom of the steps and were in awe when they saw you two. "Bloody hell." Ron exclaimed as you met then at the bottom of the steps. "Where's Cedric?" Just then, you saw him behind them talking to his friends and he saw you. He pushed pass the crowd around him and made his way towards you, you doing the same.

You stopped when your bodies were inches apart, his blue eyed orbs looking into your E/C ones. "You look beautiful, Y/N." You blushed and smiled, feeling his hand go over your cheeks. "You do too, handsome." He chuckled and he pulled you inside the great hall. "Its time for the dance. Ready, Y/N?" You nodded as he placed his hand in your hip and another in your own. It was graceful and you leaned your head into his chest, your eyes closed and your mouth in a smile. He then twirled you and your dress follows your movement, the colour gleaming in the light. "Look at you. You're a natural, Ced." He chuckled and the music stopped but he didn't let go. "Wanna get some fresh air?" You whispered to him and he immediately nodded. Along the way, he grabbed some firewhiskey for you to drink. Your hands were entwined as you both walked out of the hall. When you found a secluded spot with no one there, he set down the bottle and cups. "I wish I can dance with you always."

He turned to you as you took a small sip of the alcoholic drink. "Why not? We can dance right here." He took out his wand and he enchanted some music. Then, you were back to what was before in the hall, his hand softly gripping onto yours. When the music stopped he looked into your eyes and leaned in closer. You leaned in too until you felt a soft touch on your lips and your heads moved in sync. When you parted, he leaned his forehead onto yours and smiled widely. "I love you so much, Y/N." Your fingers got entangled in his soft hair and you also smiled. "I love you too, Diggory."

A/N: This is a cheesy romantic one. The next one... Well, you just have to wait and see. It was very sad that Cedric had to die. He would have done good in Dumbledore's army. Welp, I hope you're having a swell day. Anyhoo, stay cool my FAM!!!!
