“Ced?”
“Just a few more steps, y/n.”
“Cedric Diggory, I cannot see,” you say, feigning annoyance.
“I promise, I’m not gonna let anything bad happen to you.”
“You better not,” you reply.
Cedric slowly leads you forward from behind, his hands covering your eyes. Then he stops.
“Are we there?” You ask.
“Yep.” he removes his hands from your face, revealing a rustic country setting on the top of a tall hill. Millions of flowers and vines are delicately wrapped around the trunks of beautiful oak trees. Minuscule lights cover the branches and foliage. Your eyes glance to the forest floor where small, white cushions are placed, and a soft blanket that holds numerous desserts.
You stare at the scene in shock. You then turn to face Cedric, at a loss for words.
Cedric chuckles and hugs you tightly. “So, I’m assuming you like it?”
“I- Ced, it’s beautiful!” You finally reply with a huge smile.
He smiles broadly and pulls you closer. You stand there with him for a few minutes, just enjoying his company. Finally, he steps back and nods toward the makeshift seats. You follow him, wondering to yourself what on earth the occasion could be.
Cedric motions for you to take a seat, handing you a pumpkin pasty as you sit down. You take the treat, still admiring the scenery.
“Ced,” you start, holding your treat in your hands, “this is all beautiful and wonderful, but I am curious as to why you set all of this up.”
He turns to you, sets your pastry on the blanket, and takes your hand in his, rubbing your hand with his thumb. A sinking feeling turns in your stomach.
“Ced...” your voice breaks as you say his name, “what’s wrong? What’s going on? What are you not telling me?”
Cedric immediately snaps his gaze from your hand in his to your face. “What-oh, y/n, nothing’s wrong!” He exclaims and starts laughing as he gently tucks a strand of hair behind your ear. “Love, I promise, nothing’s wrong. I just wanted to spend time with you before school starts! I apologize if I’m being odd.”
You wrinkle your nose in confusion. “So...we’re okay?”
“Of course we’re okay!”
You release a short breath and smile in relief. “Okay, okay, I’m good now,” you announce.
“Good,” Cedric replies as he continues to rub his thumb across your hand.
A few more minutes pass; you and Cedric talk about your summers, laughing at the humorous events and enjoying retellings of entertaining stories. You adore Cedric’s presence, allowing yourself to fully love this date as well. Soon, however, Cedric glances at his watch and jumps up.
“Oh, wow, I didn’t realize it was so late! Your parents will absolutely murder me if I bring you home too late.”
“Aw, cmon, Ced, they wouldn’t murder you.”
Cedric chuckles. “Are you sure about that?” He jokes.
Then, as you’re helping him pack, you hear soft classical music playing. You stop what you’re doing and look around in order to determine where the music is coming from. As you’re looking around, Cedric comes up to you and pulls you aside to a clear patch. He wraps his arms gently around your waist and starts swaying you back and forth to the music. Smiling, you wrap your arms around his neck and dance with him.
As you continue dancing, neither of you notice the glow of the lights getting significantly brighter or the color of the sky fading to a cool, dark blue. After several songs, Cedric slowly moves his head so he’s looking at you. His big gray eyes peer inquisitively into your e/c ones. Then, he ever so slightly leans in. He hesitates for a split second, almost asking if you’re okay with this. However, his hesitation doesn’t last long as his lips are soon on yours.
You freeze for a second, unsure of how to react. However, you quickly follow suit, kissing him back with a generous amount of passion. You take note of how gentle he is, stunned by the fact he also seems to be letting you take the lead. You continue to kiss him softly, making sure to observe the pace of the kiss in order to not go too fast.
After a short amount of time, as you’re almost out of breath, you lightly pull away. You notice Cedric still has his eyes closed, but he soon opens them to look at you.
“I can’t believe I haven’t kissed you before now,” he admits softly.
“Yeah..it was amazing, Ced.”
Cedric blushes and leans down to kiss you again, somehow forgetting he had promised to take you home before dark.
“Just a few more steps, y/n.”
“Cedric Diggory, I cannot see,” you say, feigning annoyance.
“I promise, I’m not gonna let anything bad happen to you.”
