A/N I decided to have an entire chapter devoted to my chosen pairing have fun and please review, not many chapters left in this story.
Chapter Ten
Slashy Interlude
Aidan continued on in auto pilot for the next few weeks. Barely anyone could get a reaction out of him be it good or bad. The Slytherins were all concerned about their friend and housemate but knew there was nothing they could do so they didn't bring up the sore subject.
One thing finally managed to shake him out of his stupor and that was the announcement of the Yule ball that would be held at Christmas time, and he was required to have a partner. Personally he would rather have to face the dragon again, without magic, then find a date for the stupid ball he was required to attend.
His brother was the one to do the dastardly deed, Draco set him and Cedric up. A mysterious note a few candles and a nice dinner. All to get them in the same room, Aidan very nearly swore when he felt the locking wards go up powered by at least five other powerful students. He might have been able to break them but he wasn't about to reveal his true power in front of Diggory. Of course there was also the fact he wanted to spend a little time with the loyal Hufflepuff.
"Did you know about this?" Cedric asked warily.
"No I didn't know this was all my darling brother's idea, but can't say I'm complaining." Aidan said simply he decided to go for the blunt approach as that was more in his nature.
"Why do you enjoy being locked in a room with a person you barely know?" Cedric asked incredulously but Aidan could see a baseline of actual amusement in the boy.
"Not usually but when they happen to be good looking I can make an exception." Aidan said with a smirk feeling the shock radiating off the other boy.
"You're gay?" Cedric asked curiously.
"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" Aidan asked icily hoping his dreams weren't about to be squashed.
"No, I would be half a hypocrite if I was, I'm bi, I just happen to know that Dumbledore is homophobic. I'm not wrong in my observations that you hate him or dislike intensely maybe." Cedric supplied making Aidan's feeble hopes drag them up a notch.
"Neither of those two guesses are correct I despise the man. Did you know he ordered my relatives to abuse me after his word made my parents abandon me? Thankfully I was saved by my honorary Uncle and now godfather from that fate but still would you fight for a man that indirectly and directly hurts a child?" Aidan said laying his position out from the beginning. He really liked this guy and didn't want anything hanging over their heads if something happened between them.
"I have never liked Dumbledore he was a bit too all knowing for my taste. I know he is a man obsessed with power and when that happens innocent people get caught in the crossfire." Cedric he said passionately.
"Cedric I think I'm falling in love with you," Aidan said after what he had said. When Aidan realized his exact wording for the first time in years he did something, blushed.
Cedric took one look at the pink checks and realized the younger wizard might not be joking. He reached out a hand to Aidan's scarred face and lifted the chin to catch his eyes. He was lost in the beautiful emerald pools. Before either of them knew what was happening Cedric had placed a small kiss on the scar going down his right, now blushing pink, cheek.
Cedric looked shocked at his actions but not as much as Aidan was. The younger wizard took the initiative and kissed Cedric full on the lips.
Ever wonder what happens when two powerful wizards gifted with mind magicks kiss? Fireworks exploded in their minds, their auras pulsing in time to their two heart beats, and blood rushing to certain areas of their anatomy.
"So, do you want this?" Aidan asked hopefully the first one to regain his senses.
"After that little display Hell yeah." Cedric said enthusiastically pulling Aidan down for another searing kiss.
Aidan noticed something in the corner of the room he hadn't before. A bed draped in silver and black bedding just waiting for them. He made a mental note to thank his brother later and started to lead Cedric to the bed.
"Are you ready for this," he asked challengingly.
"Only if you are." Cedric said concerned for the smaller wizard.
They went to the bed ripping off clothing and running hands down bodies.
XxX insert lemon scene here (Aidan dom) sorry but this series is going to be light on actual slash scenes XxX
"Aidan when did you get this tattoo you are not old enough to get one yet are you?" Cedric asked as they lay in the bed post fun his hand was lightly stroking the dark mark burned into his skin.
"That isn't a tattoo, it is a real Dark Mark and I received it the night Voldemort attacked the Potters." Aidan answered.
"If Voldemort gave you this then why did he go onto the children who lived leaving you…" Cedric voice trailed off looking at Aidan in awe.
"You're right you know, Voldemort didn't move on to my siblings I am the one he hit with the killing curse. I am the one who has to fight and kill him." Aidan said seriously.
"Then your going to need my help aren't you?" He asked.
"I would like that, in fact there is something you can do coming up fairly soon." Aidan said with an actual smile.
"and what would that be?" Cedric asked more concerned about the smile then when the Slytherin smirked.
"Come with me to the Yule ball, think of the look on Dumbledore's face!" Aidan said enthusiastically.
"Perfect." Cedric confirmed with a very well done smirk on his face.
