Title: Too Lost in You

Pairings: Cedric/Hermione, Some Ron/Hermione

Plot: The Weasleys get a surprise visitor for the summer holidays, much to Ron's distaste and Hermione's Delight, what will happen to their friendship now that they have someone new to contend with?

Note: This is my first Harry Potter fic in a while, and I would greatly appreachiate a beta reader. This fic is AU as Cedric survived the Triwizzard Tournemat.

Disclainer: I don't own Harry Potter, this fic is for fun and no profit is being made out from this. Anything related to Harry Potter belongs to the wonderful Ms JK Rowling.

Chapter One - Unexpected News

"DIGGORY'S WHAT?"

Fred Weasley quickly clamped his hand over his little brother's mouth hissing at him to be quiet. George quickly stuck his head out of their brother's bedroom listening for any sudden movement from their mother, he listened carefully, praying that she hadn't heard Ron's sudden outburst. Happy that his mother hadn't heard a thing, George quietly closed the door, and nodded to his twin to remove his hand from Ron's mouth.

"Bloody hell Ron" Fred hissed "What you trying to do let the whole village know?" George sniggered,

"Sorry" Ron apologised "But are you sure that Diggory is stopping with us this summer?" he asked not knowing whether or not to believe them. After all Fred and George were master pranksters, and Fred's revelation that Cedric Diggory was staying with them through out the summer holidays, could be one of their latest pranks, he needed to take precautions, George sighed,

"We're sure little brother we heard the whole conversation, its sealed Cedric Diggory is staying with us for the summer" Fred nodded in agreement Ron frowned. Great just great, this was all he needed. He had been hoping that he could spend some time alone with Hermione this summer, since they had grown closer, and now that Cedric was coming to stay with them, the plans he had for him and Hermione were thrown out the window.

Ron sighed heavily running his hand through his growing ginger locks, why did his brothers always have to ruin things for him.

"Cheer up little brother" Fred assured smiling warmly bringing his arm around his shoulders affectingly, George came to his other side mimicking his twin's actions,

"Yeah cheer up Ron, we're sure Hermione will only have eyes for you this summer" the twins sniggered as Ron went a deep shade of red, without giving their brother time for a response both boys vanished in thin air their. With their laughter still ringing in his ears, Ron quickly hurried over to his desk pulled out two pieces of parchment, dabbed in quill in ink and began to write:

Dear Hermione

You'll never guess who's coming to stay with us this summer at the Burrow!

DIGGORY.

That's right, Diggory Cedric Diggory is staying with us. Can you believe it? I didn't at first, I did get the information from Fred and George and you know how those two can be. But it does explain why mum is making extra effort in getting the house clean.

But still its going to be strange having him around, Fred told me he's staying with us because his dad has to go away on business for the ministry somewhere. Hope you are well, counting down the days to seeing you!

All my Love

Ron

He read the letter over and over again, double-checking for any mistakes, but knowing Hermione she'd spot them anyway. Happy with what he had put, he rolled the parchment small enough so he could attach it to his owls leg, which was now happily flapping around his room.

It took him almost five minuets to get the bird calm enough so he could attach the letter to its leg,

"Take this to Hermione" he instructed to the bird, tying the letter to its leg, the bird hooted affectionately and no sooner had he tied the letter to it's leg, had the bird took off in flight. Sighing Ron made his way back to his desk and wrote the same note to Harry, all the while his thoughts turning to how Hermione would react the news of Cedric's stay.

Hermione Granger starred in shock at the letter she held in her hand, never in a million years had she expected to see the words Cedric Diggory and The Burrow in the same sentence, let alone in the same letter. Surly Ron was just playing along with the twins; she shook her head, not willing to believe the ink on the parchment.

"Hermione is everything alright sweetheart, you've gone awfully pale", her mothers concerned voice shattered her thoughts. Snapping back to reality, Hermione looked up to see her mothers eyes flash with concern.

"Yes mum I'm fine, shocked but fine" she replied sensing her mother hadn't noticed the letter she was holding,

"Is that a letter from one of your school friends?" her father asked as he entered the kitchen, his arms full of the weeks grocery shopping. Hermione nodded wordlessly,

"Thought I saw an Owl earlier" he replied smiling warmly as he placed the shopping bags onto the work surfaces.

"Could I be excused, please Dad?" Hermione asked her eyes pleading, her father frowned his brow creasing in concern,

"Of course petal, your friends aren't in trouble again are they?" he asked causing her to laugh slightly. She smiled at the old mans concern,

"No Dad they aren't in trouble, I just need to send an Owl getting a few facts straight" she replied backing slowly out of the kitchen, all the time feeling her parents concerned eyes on her back as she retreated up to her bedroom.

Once there she quickly locked the door behind her, rushing over to her desk she pulled out her own ink and parchment and quickly scribbled her reply to Ron:

Dear Ron

Are you sure Fred and George are right? Can you really trust them with something like this? I mean of all the things to come up with Cedric Diggory staying at the Burrow for the summer, even for them it's a little low.

If, if it's true oh my! That's quite interesting. I wonder why his father wants him to stay with us over the summer, and something for the ministry you say; I best take a look into that.

I can't wait to see you, Harry and your family again. Tell Ginny I said hi won't you.

Counting down the days

Hermione

Satisfied with what she had written, she carefully folded the letter and gave it to Ron's owl, which her father had seen earlier,

"You know who to take this to" she instructed again the owl hooted excitedly, took the letter in its beak and flew off. Hermione sighed heavily, still coming to terms with the news. If Ron had been telling the truth and Cedric was really going to be staying at the Burrow with them over the summer, Merlin help them all.
