"What did you say?" Kinsie asked shocked, she was sure she heard him wrong. He didn't just ask her to be his girlfriend.

"I want you to be my girlfriend," he said more confidently this time. "I want to be with you and only you and I want you to be with me and only me." He said. "So will you?"

"You really want me to be your girlfriend?" Kinsie asked.

"Yes Princess, I want you to be my girlfriend," Cedric said. "So will you?" he asked and Kinsie smiled.

"I thought you'd never ask," she told him. "Of course I will be your girlfriend."

"I thought you were going to say no for a minute."

"Never, I would have never said no." she said smiling.

"Kinsie," Cedric said softly and she looked at him. He leaned towards her and she leaned in to him as well. It was like she was being pulled towards him and she couldn't stop herself, not that she wanted to. Cedric's lips met hers in a gentle kiss. Kinsie had never experienced anything like this. This was her first real kiss; she didn't count when Oliver kissed her because that felt like nothing compared to this. As soon as Cedric's lips touched hers she forgot about everything else. All her thoughts seemed to drift away and the only thing she could think about is that she never wanted the kiss to end. She brought her hand up and touched his face and then slid her hand down and rested it on his shoulder. Cedric's hand found their way to her waist and he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him. He couldn't believe he was kissing Kinsie. He was finally kissing her and it was better than he ever thought. He knew she had never really been kissed before but he couldn't tell. Cedric had never enjoyed a kiss as much as he enjoyed this first kiss with Kinsie. Finally he pulled away and rested his forehead against hers. They were both breathless. They stayed there for a while looking at each other before Cedric finally said something.

"So do you want to go back to the Ball?" Cedric asked.

"I don't care where we go, as long as you're with me," Kinsie said. "We can go back and I can tell everyone you are now my boyfriend."

"Ok let's go then," Cedric said and they stood up and walked hand in hand back to the Ball.

"Wait," she said as they stopped outside the doors. "Do I look ok? My eyes aren't red or anything are they?"

"You look perfect," Cedric said.

"Well I think you're biased," Kinsie told him.

"I might be, I think you always look perfect." He told her and leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips. "Let's go," he said and they walked inside.

"I'm going to talk to Angelina and Alicia, so I'll see you in a few minutes." Kinsie said.

"Yeah ok, I'm going to find Dustin," Cedric told her and they went their separate ways.

Kinsie found Angelina and Alicia sitting at a table.

"Hey," Kinsie said sitting down.

"Are you ok?" Alicia asked. "You looked upset when you ran out."

"I am perfect, everything is perfect." Kinsie said happily.

"Who are you and what have you done with Kinsie?" Angelina asked.

"Its me," Kinsie said. "Ask me what happened."

"Ok, Kinsie what happened?' Alicia asked, she knew it had something to do with Cedric because she just walked in with him and she had a huge smile on her face.

"Cedric just asked me to be his girlfriend."

"Really!" Angelina and Alicia squealed.

"Of course you said yes." Alicia said

"Like I would say anything else," Kinsie said smiling. "And he kissed me." She sighed.

"And."

"Amazing," Kinsie said. "Well I'm going to find Cedric, I'll see you two later." Kinsie added and walked away.

"Hey you two," Cedric said.

"Is everything ok with you and Kinsie?" Dustin asked. "Sara is always messing things up."

"Well that doesn't matter," Cedric said cheerfully.

"You are to happy," Jessica said. "Tell us what happened."

"Well after I ran after Kinsie, we talked for a while. Turns out Sara wasn't the only thing she was upset about."

"Have anything to do with Oliver Wood?"

"Well yeah but that's over now," Cedric said. "I have good news."

"Well why don't you tell us." Dustin said.

"I asked Kinsie to be my girlfriend and she said yes."

"Yea!" Jessica said.

"About time," Dustin said. "I told you, I told you she liked you."

"Yeah you did," Cedric agreed. "Now I'm going to find Kinsie." He added and walked away.

As Kinsie was looking for Cedric she ran into Jessica and Dustin.

"Hey where's Cedric?" Kinsie asked.

"Looking for you," Dustin said.

"He told us the news. Congratulations." Jessica said.

"Thank you," Kinsie told her.

"Its really about time, you should have been together much sooner," Dustin said and Kinsie smiled.

"Well maybe, Ok, ok you're right," Kinsie sighed. "I just didn't know what he thought of me and I was afraid of being rejected."

"Which is exactly how he felt," Dustin told her.

"Really he thought I would reject him?" Kinsie asked. "I just can't believe that he was worried about me rejecting him."

"Even the most secure guys can become insecure when asking a girl out. They don't want to be turned down." Dustin explained.

"I would have never turned him down," Kinsie said.

"Well I know that and you know that, but he didn't," Jessica explained.

"Its like everyone knew how we felt about each other except us." Kinsie said.

"That's usually how it goes," Jessica sighed.

"There you are," Cedric said sliding his arms around Kinsie's waist. "Where have you been?I've been looking for you."

"Well I've been here for the past few minutes talking to Jessica and Dustin," Kinsie answered leaning against him.

"So want to dance with me?" Cedric asked.

"Yes I do," Kinsie answered. "See you two later," Kinsie said as Cedric led her to the dance floor.

"They look cute together," Jessica sighed.

"They look happy," Dustin said.

"I hope they stay that way," Jessica said worried.

"You sound worried, why?" Dustin asked.

"Look at Sara," Jessica said and Dustin turned to look.

"She looks upset," Dustin said.

"Well Cedric told her that Kinsie was everything she wasn't and that's why he liked her. I overheard them talking." Jessica told Dustin. "I don't think Sara is going to give up without a fight."

"Well let's just hope Kinsie doesn't back down easily," Dustin sighed.

"I don't think she will," Jessica said confidently. "If it's a fight Sara wants I think Kinsie will give it to her." She added. "Now dance with me," Jessica said as a fast song came on and her and Dustin walked out to the dance floor.

"Do you think we should at least warn her?" Dustin asked.

"They are so happy right now, I don't want to ruin it." Jessica said. "But maybe we should."

"Hey Cedric," Dustin said.

"Yeah," Cedric said never taking his eyes off of Kinsie.

"Let me dance with Kinsie for a minute and you dance with Jessica," Dustin said.

"Well I…" Cedric began.

"I'll give her back," Dustin told him.

"Ok, but not to long," Cedric said and they switched partners.

"Hey Dustin," Kinsie said smiling.

"I'm sorry to steal you away from Cedric but I need to give you a heads up about something." Dustin said. "I'm doing this as your friend and I hate to do this now because you seem so happy."

"What is it?" Kinsie asked, she was worried because he sounded serious.

"You know Sara right?"

"That slut that always has her hands all over Cedric," Kinsie said upset.

"That's her," Dustin said. "Look she has a thing for Cedric, she really likes him and she's not to happy about you and him being here together and when she finds out you're his girlfriend, she'll do everything she can to break you up."

"Let her try," Kinsie said angrily. "If she wants a fight, I'll give her a fight."

"Cedric, I know how happy you are now and I hate to ruin it but I'm doing this because I'm your friend and I like you."

"What is it Jessica?"

"Watch out for Sara. She'll be trying everything she can to break you and Kinsie up when she finds out you are officially together."

"I won't let her," Cedric said.

"You know how Sara can be Cedric."

"I know very well how she can be," Cedric sighed. "Everything will be fine."

"I hope so," Jessica sighed. "I'll let you get back to Kinsie." Jessica told him as the fast song ended and a slow song started to play.

"You again," Kinsie said smiling.

"Yep me again," Cedric said pulling her closer to him. She laid her head on his shoulder and Cedric wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on top of her head and they swayed to the music. Kinsie loved the way it felt when Cedric had his arms around her and when someone interrupted their dancing she was upset.

"Can I cut in?" a girl asked. Kinsie looked over, it was Sara. Kinsie knew that she didn't like this girl already, What a bitch she thought.

"No you can't," Kinsie said and kept dancing with Cedric.

"What, You can't share him for just one dance?" Sara asked her sweetly. "You let Jessica dance with him."

"Well the difference is I like Jessica and I don't like you," Kinsie said trying to remain calm.

"Well," Sara said clearly offended. "You sure you can't share Cedric for just one dance?" She asked again and Kinsie stopped dancing and pulled away from Cedric.

"Listen" Kinsie said and it was apparent by the tone of her voice she was angry. "Cedric is here at the ball with me. Cedric is now my boyfriend, just so you're not the last to know."

"Since when?" Sara asked shocked by the news.

"Since about thirty minutes ago," Kinsie told her. "Cedric is MY boyfriend and that means you keep your hands off of him. I never have been good at sharing what's mine," Kinsie said angrily and Sara glared at her and walked away.

"Not good at sharing what's yours, huh?" Cedric asked, he was both amused and shocked at how Kinsie spoke to Sara.

"Never have been," Kinsie said. "Might as well let her know, that I don't back down easily and she might as well give it up and move on because she's not getting you." She said and Cedric smiled.

"Who knew you had such a temper. I just hope it is aimed at me much less now that we are together and you're my girlfriend."

"I'll try," Kinsie told him and they started dancing again.

Finally the ball was over and Cedric and Kinsie reluctantly left. He walked her to the stairs so she could go to her common room.

"Well Princess, this is where I tell you good-night," he sighed.

"Yeah I guess so. I had a wonderful time," she said smiling.

"Even with all the drama?"

"Yes even with that," Kinsie said and gave a slight laugh. Cedric looked at her; he loved the way Kinsie's eyes seemed to shine when she was happy and how her eyes danced when she laughed. He was glad he was the one that was making her happy.

"I had a wonderful time to," Cedric said. " Well I'll see you in the morning, after breakfast."

"Ok see you in the morning," Kinsie said and Cedric kissed the top of her hand and then leaned down and lightly kissed her lips.

"Good-night princess," he said.

"Goodnight Cedric," she said and he turned and walked away. When he was gone, Kinsie put her hand over her heart.

"Oh my," she said to herself and laughed. She ran all the way up the stairs and back to Gryffindor tower.

She burst in her dorm room, Angelina and Alicia were still up, and none of the others were back.

"I had the most wonderful time," Kinsie said spinning around the room.

"Oh wow, she's way to happy." Alicia said.

"I'm Cedric's girlfriend now and I have never been happier. I had the most wonderful time at the ball."

"I noticed how the two of you looked so happy and I'm happy that you are so happy," Angelina said.

"Never been this happy," Kinsie sighed and fell back on her bed. "I guess I'll change and get ready for bed." Kinsie said grabbing her clothes and leaving to change.

Note: Ok there it is, hope it makes you happy for now.
