The Real Deal
Cedric/Hermione
Chapter 3
PREVIOUSLY:
"So...all you're saying is that I need to find a girl... any girl... and make her fall into bed with me?" Cedric asked his friends yet again.
"No," one of them answered.
"Not any girl. You have to get Hermione Granger," the second one told him.
"Hermione Granger?" Cedric questioned. "She's never even kissed a guy before! She wouldn't... get close to the bet."
"One thousand galleons if you lose.If you win... you can have the girl," his first friend said.
"And the deadline is in February," the second boy told him.
"Isn't that a long deadline?" The first one said.
"Yes, but I made a schedule. You need to do EACH of these tasks. One everyweek. No skipping any, and you have to have proof that you did it."
"Nice one," The first boy smiled and gave the other a high-five.
"And...why exactly must I do this again?" Cedric asked.
"Because," the first boy smirked. "If you don't, the whole school will see the tape of you singing...in the shower. And if that doesn't convince you, maybe we should rat you out about what you did last week."
"What'd I do last week?" Cedric questioned.
"Don't play like you don't know. I saw you break into the Ministry of Magic a few days ago. I even took a picture." The second boy took out a picture from his wallet. "Now, you'll take this bet, or the authorities will be notified."
"Fine. Let me see the list," Cedric sighed.

1. Kiss her8/29

A/N: Okay. I agree, that stunk... But I had to do something. This story was way too slow anyway. I needed a little spunk in it...if you know what I mean...
