Not just handsome

Chapter 12

A/N:I'm really sorry that it took so long to write this, but I did not really know where this was going so I had to think it over. I know that that is not a good apology but it is all I got.

I hope you enjoy the chapter and I really hope that I can update soon.

Disclaimer: I most unfortunately do not own any of the Harry Potter characters.

Hermione ran as fast a she possibly could. She could hardly believe that just happened, maybe it had been just a dream. Though she was not able to breath she kept running. She was too scared to face Cedric.

She was so scared of facing him that she did not even consider that if he really was running after her he would have caught a long time ago. While Cedric was very athletic and not only fast on a broomstick, the only Olympic discipline Hermione succeeded in was to carry so many thick books about magic in her arms to the Gryffindor common room that she could not even see the way. That also was the reason why she hit a wall every now and then.

Breathing heavily she reached the portrait of the Fat Lady and said the password.

"Honey, I didn't understand you. Would you repeat it, please?"

"M...m...mer...mermaid." There was a terrible pain in her left side.

"Maybe you should take a little walk for oxygen outside and come back later."

"Would you just let me in!" She was very annoyed at this point and did not want to discuss her health with an overweight woman in a portrait.

"Well, somebody is in a bad mood today. Maybe you need some chocolate? Chocolate makes people happy. Or do you have to talk to somebody about your problems with Mr. Handsome? I would listen to you, my dear!" She did not look all that interesting but Violet had absolutely nothing to say so the Fat Lady would take what she could get.

"I don't need a therapist, I need an opened portrait hole!"

Finally the portrait swung aside and let her into the common room where Ginny already was waiting for her. Doesn't she have a life, homework or friends?

"Harry told what happened, but I want details. What did he say? What did he do? I'm so excited." Ginny had been talking so loudly that by now the whole Gryffindor common room was staring at her. That was really the very last thing she needed, everybody knowing what happened between her and Cedric. Or most importantly that there was something between her and Cedric.

Hermione saw Harry and Ron sitting by the fire. Ron was pouting and Harry grinning. At least my misery made them sit together. It's a miracle.

"Tell me, tell me!" The colour of Ginny's cheeks matched her ginger hair. Actually she looked as if she was a little drunk.

"Shush! I don't want all of them to know. Let's go to my dormitory. I hope the others are not there, yet."

Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil were the most curious people at Hogwarts. The Weasley twins might know every single secret exit, but these two girls knew who had been with whom in the past, who is with whom in the present and who could be an item in the future.

She took Ginny by one arm and pulled her upstairs. Luckily the dormitory was empty but for Crookshanks who was lying on Hermione's bed. He hoped that one of the girls would snuggle him, bur Ginny just threw him off the bed when she plopped down on it.

"Would you tell me what happened already? I'm dying to know what happened. I have six brothers so I live through your finally active love life. Cedric would be a great first boyfriend for both of us."

Okay, the point of no return, I have to...what? "What are you talking about?"

"Hey, I have six brothers and three of them are here. I bet I cannot have a boyfriend until my seventh year when Ronniekins has finally left."

Hermione did anything but understand this but decided not to ask any further questions. Luckily that was not her problem.

"Anyway, what did Harry tell you?"

"He told me that you and Cedric made out."

"What?! He only kissed me, nobody made out." Her cheeks were flushed. Why did he say that?

"Oh my god, he kissed you, I knew it!"

"Wait a second, you said that Harry has told you that."

"No, he wouldn't tell me anything so I had to think of something. He was babbling something stupid about privacy and it being none of my business. Crap! That was pretty smart, right?"

It was unbelievable, she fell for the eldest trick ever.

"What was it like?"

"What?"

"The kiss. Who started it? I bet it was him. Was it good? I bet it was. I mean it was Cedric Diggory and that boy succeeds in everything."

"I don't know, my mind is a total blank right know." She sat down on her bed as well.

"Wow, it was so good that you don't remember. What will you do next? Are you guys dating?"

"Nothing will happen. I will just ignore what happened."

"You cannot just ignore him!"

"Not ignore what?"

"The kiss."

"What kiss? I really don't know what you're talking about. Could you hand Hogwarts- A History over? I wanted to do a little research on the tournament."

"Oh, you're so frustrating. Girls would kill to be in your position and you want to ignore that the most handsome boy on the planet kissed you."

"He is not just handsome, you know, he is smart, too." Hermione was reading because for her the case was closed.

"Then he is the perfect match."

"Yes, he is the perfect match for a girl like Cho Chang, but not for me."

So she started ignoring him again.
