Awkward Situation:

Everyone was sitting down eating breakfast on a beautiful morning. The Gryffindor door house joking around and laughing. In fact everyone in the room, even professor Snape, was joking around. Until A deafening scream shot out through the room. Everyone turned to see who screamed and a girl in first year with dark red hair in braids was pale as milk. She began to stutter.

"Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban last night!" She almost screamed again. People started talking loudly to their neighbors looking scared.

"Everybody everybody! Please stay calm. You all know perfectly well that Sirius Black cant, even if he tried very hard, he can not get into Hogwarts." Dumbledore told everyone. He smiled pleased that he had calmed down the whole lot of them. Cedric diggory looked over at the Gryffindor house table and saw Neville Longbottom laughing with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Cedric blushed thinking of Neville.

"Cedric what are you thinking about?" Tomas one of Cedric's friends from Hufflepuff asked.

"Oh nothing just about homework and stuff for the weekend" Cedric answered back. He looked over and Neville had gotten up and was walking on his own out of the great hall. Cedric got up quickly, now was his chance to talk to Neville alone. His friend got up to and he quickly turned to him.

"No I think I'm gonna go and study by myself for a while Tomas" Cedric said to him

"Yeah sure Cedric" Tomas said back. Cedric smiled it usually took more to get rid of Tomas. "Oh well" Cedric thought. He looked over and Neville was already half way up the stairs.

"Oh come on" Cedric thought and started to run out of the great hall.

"Wonder what's got him all worked up?" Harry thought out loud to his friends Ron and Hermione.

"Well maybe its Cho Chang!" Ron stated

"Oh yeah you guys wanna go and find her so we can all get together and talk?" Harry asked. Ron and Hermione rolled their eyes and then looked at him flatly. "Wow you guys did that in complete synchronization! But fine lets go see Hagrid" Harry said they started to walk out of the great hall just in time to see and hear Cedric yell.

"NEVILLE…NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM I NEED YOUR HELP!" and then speed away towards the left.

"Huh wonder what he needs help with?" Hermione wondered out loud "He's really good at everything. Plus why would he need the help of a third year?"

"I have no clue but I bet it's for herbolagy!" Ron said

"Yeah bet your right. Neville's really good at that" Harry laughed

…

Neville turned around to see who was calling him.

"Oh hey Cedric! Want do you need help with?" Neville said smiling at the fact that a fifth year wanted his help with something. Cedric blushed.

"Wow I love that smile!" Cedric thought.

Cedric Rubbed his neck awkwardly and kind of blushed.

"Are you ok Cedric?" Neville asked

"Huh?...Oh no I'm fine! But err.. I have to tell you something Neville!" Cedric explained

"Yes"

"Well err.. Oh god how do I put this…. You see I.. No.. No that wont do…. umm…. I have been wanting to tell you this for so very…No that wont do either…" Cedric mumbled

"Ere Cedric I have somewhere to be right now so could you maybe hurry up or maybe tell me tomorrow?" Neville asked with a bit of panic in his voice.

"Oh yeah…well yeah I tell you next time I see you then" Cedric said a little said.

"All right see you later!" Neville said turning and waving over his shoulder. Neville started to walk down the empty corridor when Cedric almost burst.

"NEVILLE I LOVE YOU!" Cedric turned redder then any of the Wealsley's ever could put together, covered his mouth and ran. Neville's eyes almost popped out of his head. He was still facing the way he was before Cedric yelled he turned slowly and looked to make sure no one saw or heard what Cedric had just said. And to his relief no one did. He let out a sigh of relief. And then turned to go up to the library.

…

Back in the Hufflepuff common room Cedric was laying on his back with a worried look on his face. A pretty Asian girl walked up to Cedric and sat down. She lifted his legs and put them on hers and looked at him. He smiled.

"Hey Cho" He said a bit wearily.

"Oh Cedric what's wrong with you now?" Cho asked in one breath.

"Well you're my best friend right and you know everything about me and about how I … well you know…. Neville!" Cedric Told her

"Oh yeah. Your always complaining about that it's getting a bit annoying to tell the truth." Cho explained. Cedric laughed weakly and kept staring into space.

"Well I went to go talk to him about it… and well I was really embarrassed and then I told him I would tell him when I see him around and I ended up yelling at him." Cedric said finally looking at Cho

"Yelling how? What did you say? What did he do?" Cho stifled a laugh.

"Well I yelled…. hang on" he looked around the room to make sure no one was listening and then leaned in close to Cho and whispered in her ear what he had yelled at Neville. Cho laughed.

"Oh Cedric You can talk to the ladies but oh can you not talk to one's you truly love." Cho laughed again.

"Shut-up Cho!" He said playfully pushing her.

"Well I can go talk to him if ya want Cedric" Cho said quickly getting up forgetting that Cedric's legs were on hers, and he fell of the couch. "OH sorry ceddy!" Cedric playfully glared and the smiled his wonder sexy, sweet, and handsome smile he always had. "So you want me too?" She asked again

"Err sure why not!" Cedric replied.

…

Neville was walking down to the great hall for lunch the next day when Cho Chang came up to him pulled him into an unused classroom.

"Um hey Cho" Neville said a bit worried.

"Yeah hi Neville! But I need to talk to you about Cedric Diggory! You know him right?" Cho asked

"Um yeah I guess I know him!" Neville said looking away from her.

"I guess you're a bit embarrassed from yesterday huh?"

"WHAT YOU SAW THAT?" Neville said and turned to her.

"No Cedric told me what happened and I'm here to explain why he… well yelled it!" She said almost laughing again. Neville just looked at her. "Well you see Neville Cedric has liked you since last year at the beginning of the year. And well he's wanted to tell you ever since then so yesterday he worked up the nerve to tell you and so he kind of just yelled it at you. You see he finds you very hard to talk too." Cho explained.

"Really? I mean after yesterday I kind of guessed he liked me but I had no idea he thought I was hard to talk to." Neville said looking down.

"Do you think you might like him back?" Cho asked smiling, a bit to proud of her self.

"Well I mean with a face like his anyone can be in love with him" Neville laughed "But err I'm not sure I you know feel the same way as he does"

"Oh… Well do you think you could on one date with him and maybe see what it like to be with him." Cho pleaded him.

"Well.. Um what night next weekend or today?" Neville asked

"TODAY! Of course it's a perfect Saturday. I heard it's supposed to be real clear tonight. You guys can walk around the lake and stuff" She smiling again.

"Well…sure why not. But you cant tell anyone but Cedric I'm agreeing to this and tell Cedric the same thing ok" Neville told her with a bit of concern in his voice.

"OH of course" She said still smiling but even more so then before.

…

"WAIT HE SAID YES!" Cedric said really surprised

"Yeah he said yes. Cedric! Are you as happy as me? I mean you have been waiting for this for like a year!" Cho said. Cedric looked at her with a small smile and laughed.

"Cho Chang you're the greatest friend anyone can ever have." Cedric said hugging her. She laughed.

"Yeah I know! But now lets get down to business what are you going to wear to night!" Cho said.

"Well err I have no clue did he say if it was going to be just a wear something you find or a dress to empress kind of date?" Cedric sounded really worried.

"Well he didn't say really But You can ask him right now!" Cho said with a sound of encouragement.

"Oh and how am I to do that I don't even now where he is?" Cedric said with a flat look.

"OH OH OH! I know I know! He's in the library with Hermione Granger!" Cho jumped up and down. Cedric gave her a bored flat look.

"And just how do you know that!" Cedric replied

"Well er I.. Well you know saw him there last week and the week before around this time" Cho looked away blushing.

"Right or you spied on him!' Cedric said flatly. Cho blushed and looked away. "YOU DID! CHO!"

"I only did it cause I thought maybe I could find out what he likes then I could tell you and then you could impress him." Cho said looking at him with a challenging look.

"Awe that is so sweet. Cho" He said hugging her.

"EWW Mushy mushy not what I want" Cho said pushing him off playfully. "Now go and ask him what you should wear!"

"Al right all right' He said walking away and running as soon as he go out of the common room.
