It was one night that was all it was. His soft skin against mine, the taste of his lips on my mouth, it was just one night. It was after I lost Cedric, after I lost the love of my life. I had decided to spend the summer after my fifth year relaxing trying to avoid the sadness of Cedric's death. I was upset. No one believed Harry after Cedric died that he-who-must-not-be-named had returned, and it made me upset. One night after my mother and father had gone to sleep I snuck out and grabbed my broomstick. I didn't know where I was headed but I wasn't going to say there and let myself get more and more depressed. I found myself travelling to London and the Leaky Cauldron the only bar I knew of at the time. I put my broomstick in a nearby alley, and walked into the pub not knowing what to expect. The pub was fairly quiet except for a couple of old goblins at a table playing wizard chess with a lot of passion. I walked up to the bar and ordered a butter bear. The bartender looked at me funny and walked away to get my drink.
"Cho?" a voice said from behind me. I turned to see Oliver Wood, a boy I hadn't known that well but must have recognized me from Hogwarts.
"Yes" I said not wanting to talk I just wanted to be alone which made no sense because I had purposely gone away from my house.
"I'm sorry about Cedric" he said "I heard from some of the others that you were close with him." I felt the tears start to come at the mention of Cedric's name. It made me think of him, his soft brown hair and his beautiful smile.
I looked back at Oliver who also had some of the same features of Cedric, especially the soft brown hair that I loved.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" I don't know why I did it, but I just leaned in and kissed him. I wanted so much to be loved by someone, I didn't even care who it was. When we broke apart I also realized that Oliver had Cedric's soft touch and almost tasted like him. Oliver walked away smiling and I never saw him again.
Not my best piece of writing, but it was for a challenge and I try not to back out of them. Please review. :D
