A/N: Someday I will come back and do Viktor's accent right.
The ball was on full-swing, by the time Cedric slipped away from Cho. He loves his girlfriend, he really does, but sometimes he just gets tired. He looked up to the sky, which was almost filled with cloud cover.
"It is a beautiful night," said a voice behind him. Cedric turned his head to see Viktor Krum, leaning against a wall. He always admired Krum for his flying skills and how he could catch the snitch.
"It is. Escaping your date?" Krum pulled away from the wall and walk to stand next to Cedric.
"Yes. She is a nice girl, but..." Krum paused, as if trying to figure out the word he was looking for.
"Talkative?"
"Very talkative. She was going on about house elves rights. Since when do house elves have rights?"
Cedric shrugged, and look back at the sky. He didn't know what to say to Viktor, who became quiet. Finally Viktor broke the silence.
"Why are you out here?"
"For some quiet. My girlfriend was talking a lot."
"I see. Do you want to try an experiment?" asked Viktor, leaning towards Cedric. Cedric frowned, eyeing the other boy. Was this a trap or something to get him kicked out from the tourney? Finally, his un-Hufflepuffness courage made him nod. Viktor leaned in, and kiss Cedric on the lips. Cedric stiffen at first, but then decided that this wasn't to bad. Viktor tasted a bit like mint, which was Cedric's favorite flavor. Cedric stepped closer, as Viktor wrapped his arms around him. The only reason why they separated, was they heard voices nearby. The two break away, and Cedric cleared his voice.
"Was the experiment successful?"
"I will need to try it again. Maybe a bit less of a noticeable area, through."
Cedric thought a second, then grasp Viktor's arm.
"This way."
The two never did go back into the ball, leaving behind an upset Cho and a mystified Herminone.
