Okay, this is my first Harry/Cedric fanfic, so R&R!
Chapter rating: PG
It was in Harry's third year at Hogwarts, when he began to question himself. The girls in his class would squeal whenever Cedric Diggory, or 'Pretty Boy' as Fred called him resentfully, would walk by the charms classroom at any time. Honestly, Harry had a small crush on him, and soon found himself just thinking about the attractive Hufflepuff. The day went by in a blur, in Harry's mind, and he, Ron and Hermione were walking to the Great Hall for some dinner.
"Harry?" Ron asked him, cutting through Harry's thoughts.
"Huh? What?" Harry said, shaking his head to clear the thoughts.
"I said," Ron said a little frustrated. "Don't you think that Hermione's cat in a demon? I mean look at it! He keeps going after poor Scabbers." He said, glaring at Hermione, who pretended not to notice.
Harry just ignored them as they bickered the whole way down to the Great Hall. Harry took his seat, and shot a glance over to the Hufflepuff table, and blushed deeply as a pair of grey eyes met his own.
"Mate, are you all right?" Ron asked Harry. Wow! Harry's face must have been really red. Hermione narrowed her eyes, and followed Harry's glance from earlier and then widened her eyes.
"Yea, just…It's nothing…" Harry trailed off, looking back at the Hufflepuff to make sure he wasn't imagining things. Once again, Cedric was staring at him the same way he was staring at Cedric.
"Harry!" Hermione snapped, making Harry tear his eyes away. "Stay with us," she scolded. "What were you saying?" she asked Ron, who was stuffing his face.
"If noshfink Mcgoffnoffcal eschew schiriush black." he started, but swallowed when Hermione gave him a sharp look. "I heard that McGonagall and Dumbledore think that Serious Black is trying to get into the school!" he said in an excited voice. Hermione frowned.
"Harry, you should be careful, if what Ron is saying is true." she told Harry, who nodded quickly.
"I need to go to the bathroom," Harry said, getting up and going to the doors that led to the Entrance Hall. As Harry was walking out, someone else happened to make the same excuse…
