Pairing(s) Cedric/Harry
Also a note for this fic; Dumbledore was late to the quidditch match and arrived just in time to see both Harry and Cedric fall the last few feet before he could cast the "Aresto Momentum".
Note: I don't know what the portrait is that opens into the Hufflepuff common room, but I'm only assuming (with no proof) that its a painting of the"Fat Friar". Wow long part this time.
*~*~*~*
Over the next few days quite a lot of the Hogwarts population went home for the holidays. Cedrics mother and father were disappointed of course that he wouldn't becoming home, he'd mentioned something in his owl home that he'd be studying for his OWLs, which took place later in the school year. He'd planned on spending the few days leading up to Christmas in his common room studying alone, he certainly didn't want his parents to be disappointed when he got his OWL results during the upcoming summer. Just on Christmas Eve though, there came a knock on the common room door. It was odd Cedric hadn't a clue who it would be, as he thought almost every Hufflepuff was now at their homes (except for himself of course). Beside what Hufflepuff would knock if they knew the password?
He set his quill down on the table, maybe it was just Peeves being a pain. He scooted his chair from the table and listened as it came again. "Nah couldn't be Peeves, Peeves wouldn't knock he'd rather knock something over instead." Cedric thought outloud, sighing, he headed to the door to answer it. What he saw there surprised him Cedric grinned as he saw it was Harry, Ron, Fred and George. (Hermione was still doing research to find a way to save Buckbeak for the upcoming hearing). Harry gave Cedric an apologetic look. "They insisted on coming with me."
"Well, now this is an unexpected surprise." Cedric grinned, "Yeah well you've been cooping yourself up these past few days. Just making sure you're alive and kicking" Fred eyed him suspiciously. "Yes, well, I've been studying for OWLs and such.. Where are my manners come on in, all of you." "Studying at Christmas?! Not again! Ced, you've got months before those happen." George looked like as if "studying" was a disgusting curse word. "You almost as bad as Granger, mate." This made Ron look put off, he wasn't sure if that was an insult of not, so he said nothing.
"Anyway" Harry interrupted before anyone else could say anything more, "I was hoping, that you could come with us to dinner." Harry eyed the Weasleys, "They just followed me, saying they were on their way down to dinner too ,but they tagged along with me down here.". Harry pretended to be annoyed. " Ah, sure I didn't think that....well... after the other day of course....Give me a few moments to clean up then?" Harry nodded and grinned as Cedric hurried up to his dorm, at a run.
Just a few minutes later Cedric came down with a small package in his hand, stuffing it into his pocket before he approached the small party waiting for him. "Erm, shall we then?" he grinned as he offered Harry his hand." Harry smiled back at the older boy as he took it, "Lets.". Ron looked a bit confused until it hit him. after Harry and Cedric were several paces in front of the Weasleys "Blimey those two are dating?!" Fred and George just snickered." Bloody hell Ronald took you long enough to realize what we've known for a few days now" George knocked Ron upside the head playfully. "After how much Harry's been talking about Cedric lately. You'd think you'd have some sort of clue before now." "Even Hermione knew Ced had a thing for Harry right after that quidditch match."
Ron just scowled his smart-ass brothers as they followed the two seekers to the great hall hand in hand.
Harry,Cedric the Weasleys and Hermione (who showed up for dinner) all sat at the same table. After they ate they stayed there for a while talking about everything. Harry and Cedric had gotten a few stares when they came into the Great Hall hand in hand but no one said anything. The remaining teachers looked upon this curiously as well but said nothing to discourage it. They knew that this all started because of Cedric saving Harry. Thankfully most of the Slytherins, including Draco, were spending the holidays elsewhere. Harry had been surprised that Cedric had actually gotten him something for Christmas. ( two miniature broom models, one of his old beloved Nimbus 2000, and one of a Firebolt) He had all but pounced on Cedric to the floor for that." Cedric laughed softly. "Glad you like them, it was the least I could do. If I could have afforded to get you a real Firebolt, I would have." Harry just grinned " "Come on lets get out of here and go someplace where so many eyes aren't watching us, eh?
"Alright, back to the Hufflepuff common room? I'm the only one here for the holidays so it should be quiet there." Harry nodded, he turned to the others and said his "See you later"s to the other as he left with Cedric.
When they reached there he gave the password to the guardian painting of the Fat Friar, which let them both in. Cedric lead Harry to one of the squashy couches near the fireplace and pulled him down to sit beside him. "Now this is better all alone at last." Cedric chuckled softly. This was still slightly awkward to Harry but he slowly wrapped an arm around Cedric waist and curled up beside him. They talked for hours about everything but eventually the subject changed again. "Ced, can I ask you something?" " Mmmm sure Harry, ask away." "Well alright then. out of all the people at Hogwarts, why me?"
That question caught Cedric off guard but not in a bad way. "Why you? well, why not you?" "Cedric Diggory I'm being serious." "Yeah I know you are , but seriously why not you. You're everything anyone could possibly want in a friend. You're smart, witty, an absolutely astounding wizard, thats defeated You-Know-Who three times in thirteen years. Not to mention a great seeker,damn excellent flier I'd be surprised if you didn't become the Gryffindor captain eventually. But the things I like most about you are , your kindness towards others, treating everyone as your equal. Also the willingness to do whatever is right, no matter how it might hurt you in the end. There's just so much about you that I like, it would take forever to list ever single little thing really." Cedric smiled down at the boy curled up at his side, that was looking up at him.
"But also I have to say Mr. Potter that you have got to be the most stunning boy I've ever seen. Your hair, for instance," he smiled, running his fingers though Harry's silky black hair. "It's got to be the wildest freest thing I've ever seen, so black it almost looks blue when light reflects off of it. Its damn adorable. And your eyes, I don't think I've ever seen anything with eyes that green, ever. They remind me of emeralds, thats the only thing I can compare them with. All in all it's you I fell for Harry, not the hero. But the person you are."
Harry sat there for a moment contemplating this before he spoke again. "I think I know what you mean. Though I never really paid much attention before you saved me. But It was the fact that you were willing to risk yourself for me, when nobody else did or could. That grabbed my attention. Since then I've noticed, that despite you being popular, that you weren't an rude bastard like Malfoy. You actually had a heart and cared about other people, even though sometimes they may not have been all that nice to you. And you do what you have to do,even if it hurts you. Not to mention you're not as rigid about the rules like mother Prefects are, hell sometimes I forget you are a Prefect. Any of the others would have sent me straight back to Hogwarts and turn me straight into McGonnagall, but not you. Which I'm grateful for because if you had I wouldn't have had the chance to know how you fell about me, is the same way I feel about you."
Cedric smiled over at Harry, who eyes told nothing but the truth in his words. Cedric nor Harry said anything more, but leaned over to one another and kissed. This kiss reminded them both of their first one at the Three Broomsticks, just as sweet and gentle. Cedric wrapped his arm around Harry's waist, holding him closely to himself as the other was resting on his back. Harrys arms were around Cedrics neck and shoulders as the kiss slowly intensified, on of his hands roaming Cedric's wavy dark blond hair as Cedric pulled him across to sit in his lap. They stayed like that for a while letting their hands and arms roam each others hair waists or backs. When they eventually broke apart Cedric heard the clock chiming in the corner deciding it was too late for them to head back to Gryffindor tower. "Stay here tonight, you can go back tomorrow morning just before everyone wakes up." Harry nodded sleepily as Cedric let Harry stretch out on the sofa before joining him there, covering them both up, wrapping an arm around Harry's waist protectively. "Happy Christmas Harry." he smiled as he kissed Harrys cheek before he and Harry fell into peaceful dreams. "Happy Christmas Cedric."
