Rose flittered around her dorm, making sure she looked perfect. It was just a casual date, so opted to wear skinny, blue jeans, and a purple blouse. She had on her black pumps and her hair was hanging around her body. Rose didn't put much make-up on; just enough to make her features stand out.
"Do I look good?" she asked Draco on her way out.
"How should I know?"
"Ernie, do I look good?"
"Hot, super hot."
"Hot enough to make Diggory's jaw drop?"
"Oh yeah."
Rose nodded and placed her pearl necklace on before leaving the Common room. She was satisfied that people (boys) were giving her strained looks.
"Ronald!" she heard the girl Hermione chide.
"What?" he asked.
Rose giggled as she crossed the bridge to the pillars. With one more breath, she exposed herself to Cedric. He was standing there, hands in his pockets. He had on dark jeans and a stripped shirt with his sleeves rolled up messily. His hair was the usual disarray and his smile was as warm as ever.
"Hi," Rose said.
"Hi," he repeated.
"Where are we going?" she asked, coming closer to him.
"It's a bit of a walk up the mountain. I'll carry you if the shoes hurt."
"Nah, I'm tough like that."
He chuckled and gestured for her to follow him. They walked side-by-side up the hill, and it was a little awkward.
"So…" Cedric trailed off.
"So… Why the fuck is this so awkward?" Rose huffed.
"I don't know, we're normally so…I don't know, natural?" Cedric asked.
"Yeah, what's our problem?"
Cedric pulled out his wand and summoned his cougar. Rose giggled and brought out her dove. They walked with their Patronuses.
"I love the cougar, it's real sexy," Rose said.
"I know, matches the owner."
"Pfft."
They climbed a little higher until the ground became flat again. On the ground was a couch, one of those ones that stretched out really far and wasn't so tall, and on the couch was different lollies.
"Oh wow Cedric, you did this all on your own?" Rose smiled widely.
"Yeah, took a little while, but worth it."
The sat on the couch and Rose dug through the lollies, hoping to find a certain one…
"You have red-liquorices wands!" Rose squealed.
"I thought I was the only person that liked them," Cedric said.
"They're my favorite!"
The two devoured the packet, then two more. They moved on to chocolate frogs and every-flavor beans.
"You know, I let you win last week," Cedric said.
"No you didn't! I beat you're ass by myself!"
"Somewhat, but I could have gotten the snitch by myself,"
"Sure, sure."
Cedric smirked and started to tickle her sides. This was Rose's only weakness, she was really ticklish.
"Ced, stop! P-Please!" she giggled.
"Say it!"
"No!"
"SAY IT!"
"Uncle!" she squealed.
Cedric sat back, so Rose tackled him. The pair rolled around on the couch, laughing and play fighting until Rose eventually resting Cedric's lap, her back to his chest.
They watched the sun setting over Hogwart's, and it was beautiful.
Rose started to gently hum. Cedric immediately recognized the song. Love Me Tender. It was his mother's favorite song. He smiled sadly as Rose's sweet voice lulled him. Not before long, Rose was joined by Cedric and they hummed the song together.
As they finished, the sun bid them farewell and day turned to night.
As Rose's voice came to a halt, she twisted her neck to see Cedric behind her. In the dark all she saw was his eyes and teeth as he grinned at her.
"You're eyes have a little hazel in them," she whispered, so as not to break the peace around them.
Reaching behind her, she threaded her fingers through his soft hair as he placed his hands on her waist. Their lips met slowly, and it felt amazing. Better than before. Rose gasped and Cedric took the chance to slide his tongue into her mouth. Their sweet kiss went on until the need to breathe was too strong.
The night went on much the same. They shared heated kisses until both their lips were swollen. It was nearing two in the morning when Rose admitted she was cold.
"We are gonna get in so much trouble if we get caught," Rose laughed freely.
Cedric tapped her bare skin with his wand, and her skin warmed up. She smiled in thanks.
"Yeah, but it's so worth it."
"You keep saying that, what makes it worth it?"
"That look in you're eyes, you're smiles, the way you tap on my knee with you're fingers, most of all is when you sing, you sound like an angel," Cedric replied while playing with her hair.
"You're more than a little biased,"
"Not really," he smiled, "Either way, you're my angel,"
Rose's heart skipped a beat. He called her his. He made a claim. And she liked it.
"I'm yours," she repeated.
It was only an hour later did they return to the tower. How they made it in unseen was a mystery, well, not completely.
Lupin had a soft spot for love-crazy teens.
One week later!
Lilly was annoyed. Rose wouldn't tell her what happened on her date even after a week, and she really wanted to know.
"Come, just tell me something!" Lilly pleaded while they sat in the main courtyard.
"Fine, we sang," Rose said.
"Sang what?"
"A song."
Lilly groaned and threw her pencil on the ground, a passing boy laughed.
"Annoyed, Lilly?" Cedric asked.
"She won't tell me if you two snogged like crazy, which I know you did!" accused Lilly, extravagantly pointing another pencil at Cedric's nose.
Cedric smirked pushing the pencil away from his face and bending down to Rose's level, snogging her thoroughly as Lilly squealed and said her eyes burned.
"There, a replay of events just for you," Cedric said afterwards.
"And half the school," Rose said, glancing at the gaping students.
"Well, you are mine," with that, Cedric left to meet up with his friends, to brag.
"Explain," Lilly said simply.
"I guess we're going out!" Rose said cheerfully.
"Is that…is that a hickey?" Lilly was staring at a spot on Rose's
neck, well, there was more than one.
"Oh yeah, Cedric loves giving them, it's my duty to receive," Rose craned her neck so Lilly could see the spots. There was practically
no skin left bare.
"You've been together for a week!"
"Pent up tension, we've been longing for three years,"
"Fair enough," Lilly laughed.
Lilly was secretly not doing her work, but peeking up at Draco, who was snickering with his friends on the other side of the yard. He looked hot with his robes all messed up.
"Stop checking him out, so wrong," Rose said.
"I'm not checking him out!" Lilly said a little too loudly, gaining some looks.
"Yeah, you are. I admit, if he wasn't such a douche bag and I wasn't dating Diggory, I'd think he was good looking too," Rose admitted, "but I am dating Diggory, so no, he's ugly,"
Lilly rolled her eyes at Rose's words. She watched as Draco approached Harry, Ron and Hermione who had just settled on one of the benches.
"Scared, Potter?" Draco sneered loudly.
Then Draco's faced turned frightened as he looked above Harry's head, "Dementor, dementor!" he yelled, pointing up.
The Gryffindor's looked around, to find nothing but air. The Slytherin's laughed and pulled their hoods up, saying 'Oo!'
Rose let out an annoyed breath before putting her books aside. She walked up to the still laughing Draco.
"VOLDY'S HERE!" she cried, pushing on his back. Draco screamed and turned around quickly, glaring as he saw it was Rose.
"Scared, are we?" she taunted.
Rose wasn't afraid to say Voldemort's name, like so many others were. She laughed along with Harry as the others stared in shock at the fact that she had said 'his' name.
"Who's Voldy?" Lilly asked when Rose returned.
"Voldemort, duh."
"Who's that?"
Rose gave Lilly a strange look, and then recognition came over her face, "Right, people around here don't call him that. I'm guessing you've heard the term 'you know who'?"
"Yeah…"
"That's Voldemort."
"But who is 'you know who'?"
"Voldemort!"
"For Christ sakes, I mean why is he so famous!"
"OHHHHHH!" Rose said loudly, "He's the darkest wizard of our time, is all. He's killed, like, thousands of people, including Harry's parents, Harry is the only one he failed to kill, that's why he is so famous. Voldemort is rising again, they say, and that's why everyone is so scared of Sirius Black, he's on his side. People don't like to say his name, but I'm not scared,"
"Oh okay, that makes more sense," Lilly said smiling widely at the satisfaction of finally knowing who 'you-know-who' is.
"How did you go to Hogwarts for a whole year and not know that?"
"It never came up."
Both girls shrugged and went back to their homework.
AN - Yay, Rose is making out with Cedric! COOL! Let's party!
