She's All That
Cedric Diggory is in his seventh year at Hogwarts, after being dumped by Cho Chang, makes a bet with Fred Weasley that he can make any girl Prom Queen. Based off the plot of the film 'She's All That' very AU.
AN This fic is based (perhaps a bit loosely, I haven't watched the movie for a little while) off the plot of the movie 'She's all that' This is a very AU fic, due to the fact that Cedric is alive, friends with Fred Weasley. And despite being set within Hogwarts, the characters have a bit more freedom I believe than shown in the books.
Rating may be subject to change.
Thanks for reading, reviews always welcome and appreciated :)
Chapter One: Dumped
Cedric Diggory was (and always had been) the most popular guy at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It seemed that everyone knew everything about him and talking about his life seemed to interest a great number of people. It could be said that inside Hogwarts Cedric Diggory was a celebrity of almost Harry Potter proportions.
This meant that practically every third year girl or above wanted Cedric Diggory to be their boyfriend. Or maybe just as their date for a night. Cedric's heart belonged to one girl, and that girl was the beautiful seeker of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. Cho Chang.
That's why it came as a terrible shock when on the first day back at Hogwarts, after dinner Cho Chang told Cedric:
"Its over" in a rather business like tone,
"What?" He didn't have the arrogance to believe that he was immune to dumping, but he believed things had been going so well and they had been together for nearly a year now.
"I'm sorry, Cedric" she flicked her shiny black hair over her shoulders and didn't sound very sorry, "we're just two totally different people. And I need my space, and the fact is Ced is you've been getting way to clingy" she seemed to take some sort of pleasure out of seeing the hurt in his eyes. After a moment something seemed to just click into place.
"Theres someone else isn't there!" He accused, not bothering to sound polite. She looked taken aback, but only for a moment.
"Cedric" she said condescendingly, "theres no point in you worrying yourself over it now. We're through, I'm sorry" she flicked her hair again and strutted off, leaving Cedric feeling rather foolish.
"She dumped you" Fred questioned half an hour later,
"Yeah" Cedric answered simply, still feeling a bit numb
"Sorry man. You okay?"
"I think so. I don't think I loved her… I didn't love her. I was just shocked"
"Yeah" Fred laughed, "who would dump Cedric Diggory unless they had a much, much better offer. A better offer of… I don't know… Viktor Krum proportions!" Cedric laughed a bit bitterly, remembering his own accusations that Cho had found somebody else,
"She'll regret it, when she isn't popular anymore" Fred said casually,
"What do you mean"
"Ced, Ced, Ced. You can be shockingly dim sometimes. The only reason people care about her was because she was with you! You could take any average girl and within hours the whole school would be talking about her…" Suddenly a huge grin spread on Fred's face.
"What?…" Cedric asked tentatively, not really wanting to hear Fred's brainwave,
"How would you feel about getting a bit of revenge on Cho"
Cedric normally wouldn't have considered such an idea. But Cho had hurt him, and he wanted to see he taken down a peg or two. Smiling, Cedric asked,
"What did you have in mind?"
