Sticking to you 'cos I'm made out of glue

Who knew that superglue could in fact just be super.

The tears pooled not just for the pain she was now going through but because of the sheer embarrassment she would have to go through once she had worked the courage up to head back to the castle to get some help in her current situation.

She had always carried the superglue around with her since she had been a child, it often offered a short reprieve for her straps on her abused bags. Of course now a full blown witch she didn't need to use the glue just a simple charm.

Lack of sleep had of course left her mind muddled and out of sync that when her strap broke while out side she simply grabbed her superglue and began to repair the battered bag. It wasn't until she let her self drift of into her own thoughts that she didn't understand that her neck became cold then sticky. When she heaved a sigh and attempted to stand up she was stuck- really stuck- and her hand refused to remove it's self from her neck.

Needless to say after an hour of frustrated tears and silent curses she remained under the tree winching at the pain.

Gritting her teeth she decided she would just hold up her head and ignore what ever was said just cry about it while she found comfort in the library.

After five minutes of failing to gracefully get to her feet she cursed louder then she intended and fell with a huff on her backside.

"Really is that anyway from a young lady to behave" a voice called from behind her, without thinking she whipped around and fell to her side jarring her cocked elbow and thus jarring her head. With a flash someone with grey eyes was peering down at her. For one moment she was half scared that Malfoy had found her and was now going to tease her.

"Are you ok" the voice didn't belong to any Malfoy it was far too warm and concerned, which made it a little harder to place the face that was now peering at her inches away.

"Yes… I fell" she offered lamely blushing at her own excuse when a clearly attractive boy was worried about her.

"I can see that… but as long as you are ok" he chuckled and the blush seemed to burn it's way down her neck causing her hand to sweat.

"Yes I'm fine thank you" she bit off a little more harshly then she intended for the boy lost his smile just a fraction and looked away.

She tried to sit up but found it was hard without having to explain just why she fell over in the first place, she just needed to get him to leave.

"Granger isn't it" the boy asked causing her eyes to widen and stare up at him, her mind wheeling at the fact that an older and cute boy could even remember her name without prompting.

"Yes" she squeaked as the boy laughed with no intent on moving from his crouching position before her.

"Potters friend… I've seen you with him. You're the one Skeeter had captured together" he stated as her mind scurried to place him. With an strangled gasp of embarrassment she looked away, why oh why did it have to be him who found her.

"Yes" she hissed through gritted teeth at the memory of what that awful witch had implied after catching her trying to encourage and quell her own fears before harry faced the first task.

Laughing the boy shook his head allowing her to think clearly now his eyes no longer rested on her, but that lasted only a few glorious seconds before he turned his grey eyes back to her amusement flickering across his face.

"Are you planning on laying for the rest of the day" he questioned as she glared at him, the cheeky smile did nothing to help her situation and thinking that this was amusing to him just upset her more then she already was.

"Yes in fact I was, unless there is some rule against it" she huffed as he widen his eyes before laughing and shaking his head once more.

"no of course not but if your planning on laying there until curfew I will be forced to take points" he declared as she grumbled attempting to glare at him sideways.

"Fine" she muttered before grumbling her explanation under her breath, she lowered her eyes while he stared at her in confusion.

"Come again" "MY HAND IS STUCK TO MY NECK" she all but bellowed watching with some joy when he jumped a little before gapping at her.

However her joy was short lived when he laughed again and after a few seconds didn't seem intent of giving up.

"If your finished you might be kind enough to help me to sit up" she snapped as he turned his eyes back to her laughter dancing there.

"I kind of like you like this" he chirped beaming that cheeky smile at her once more making her roll her eyes and purse her lips.

"Really… insufferable… git" she grumbled before he raised a hand and smirked, without another word he grabbed her waist and pulled her up. His hand shot up to her neck not covered by her hand and steadied her head smirking when she blushed again.

"Thank you" she muttered looking away tugging her hand away from her neck but gaining only pain instead of freedom.

"It really is stuck isn't it" he questioned as she shot her eyes to him and glared, it was the most stupid question she had ever heard.

"Yes now if you don't mind could you please just leave me be and laugh somewhere else" she gruffed ignoring the pang running through her when he dropped his hands.

"Well Granger that is really impossible now isn't it… I'm hardly going to leave such a beautiful young woman out here along for any of the male students to jump her in a distressed state am I" he chirped causing her to look down repressing the groan and blush.

"Why didn't you just use your wand" he asked causing her to snap her eyes up to his again and glare, of course she had thought about that but fate had a sick and twisted way of thinking because the hand currently stuck to her neck was the hand in which she used her wand.

"Because my wand hand is currently attached to my neck" she exclaimed causing him to chuckle again before removing his own wand and pointing it at her hand and neck. Closing her eyes she felt the feeling of magic warming her fingers and spreading through out her before her hand tugged free from her neck and she was free.

Without thinking her eyes flew open and she threw her arms around his neck squeezing tightly for her thanks and happiness. However it wasn't until she felt hands on her waist she gasped and pulled back lowering her eyes she ignored the smirk on his face.

"um thanks" she uttered before hearing that golden chuckle and imagining that cheeky smile on his face.

"does your neck hurt" he asked as she nodded but enjoying the feeling of the cool air against her burning neck. Jumping back when the air against her neck was a little more forceful she turned her head to find him smirking at her once more his mouth inches from her neck now her lips.

"Better" he questioned softly in her ear making her face burn even hotter then it had been before, dumbly she nodded feeling her mouth dry and her tongue stick to the roof of her mouth.

"Come on Granger we'll get you to the Hospital wing" he ordered snatching her hand up in his own and dragging her to her feet with him.

Stuttering she just had time to grab her bag before she stumbled on her feet trying hard not to look at him or their still joined hands.

"You don't have to bother… you've done enough already" she ordered tugging at her hand and blushing even more when it seemed he wasn't ready to let go.

"Really you don't have to" "Granger" he started but she turned to look at him and shook her head.

"Cedric I mean it… I'm a big girl, I can take care of my self despite previous events" "Granger" he yelled causing her to stop and look at him questioningly. With a chuckle he tugged at her hand and smirked.

"Granger I have no doubt you can take care of your self and it's clear to see how big- um of a girl you are" he stuttered lowering his eyes as he blushed.

"But I was pointing out that maybe we- I more to be precise should have waited before I grabbed your hand" he stated before lifting their joined hands up proving he was holding her hand but instead was glued to it. Gapping she flushed and restrained her self from tugging madly on her hand to free it.

"Come on we best get some help… as much as the thought of being stuck to you is appealing" the cheeky smile was back again after she blushed again "I doubt you will enjoy nor like me anymore if you see how a boy behaves for a whole day" he ordered tugging them towards the castle.

"Just use your wand again" she protested trying to scan the area around them and stay in line with him as he pulled them towards the castle.

"You currently have hold of my wand hand" he stated with a flash of his straight white teeth causing her to groan, no matter how much she wished she could think up of the shortest route her mind kept blanking every time he tugged on her hand and pulled her closer.

If she had managed to keep her mind straight she would have clearly seem that in his free hand he was twirling his wand.
