You stand in front of the mirror smoothing out your dress and fiddling with the ends of your hair. Your chatter of half of the 7th year Hufflepuff girls all helping each other get ready thrummed in the back of your mind as you fretted over what your date would think when he saw you. You took one last look in the mirror, your hair pulled into a simple half up half down, your soft makeup with rosebud lips, your yellow tulle dress with silver flowers adorning the bodice, you were ready.
You and Cedric had been dating for what seems like forever but you were still got butterflies whenever you saw him. As you walked out of your dormitory and into the common room, your breath caught in your throat. He looked perfect. You smile as you walk down the last few steps and into his arms.
"You look lovely" Cedric murmurs lovingly into your hair. You can feel a soft blush rise in your cheeks. "You look perfect," you say softly looking up at him.
You begin to fidget a bit as you arrive at the great hall knowing that you will be expected to dance in front of everyone. Cedric gives your hand a slight reassuring squeeze "You look beautiful there's nothing to worry about" he says smiling softly down at you. You lock eyes with him and can't help but smile back.
When Cedric's name is called you feel calm, as if you're the only two people in the world. Everything felt so perfect. Everyone else seemed to fade into the background. Your eyes never leaving each other as he spun you around the room. The lights, the music, The blue of Cedric's eyes, you never wanted to forget about this.
The nerves from before completely washed away as the song ended all too soon. Cedric pulled you off the dance floor to a table where you two sat and talked for a while about everything and anything. You began ranting about a potions lesson that you failed when all of a sudden "i love you" you abruptly stopped talking to stare at him eyes blown wide. "What?" you say voice just barely audible. "I love you" he repeats eyes still trained on your own.
"I love you too" you say breathlessly. You barely have time to react as he pulls you in for a dizzying kiss. Sure the two of you have kissed before, but this was different. It was softer, but somehow more passionate than any kiss prior.
You were in love, he was "the one" that everyone had told you about. He was your everything, your forever.
