To win fair Cedric's heart Harry sat in apparitions class not listening to a single word McGonagall was saying. She could have been speaking for Chinese for all he knew.

The very reason Harry could not concentrate was sitting right in front of him. Cedric Diggory. He was tall, good looking and popular. He was everything a boy who was gay could wish for. Cedric and Harry were in the same class because the younger pupils were learning from the older pupils that week.

Those smooth long legs, that blonde golden hair, those lovely blue eyes. Harry sighed. But there was one problem. Cho, that stupid bitch fancied Cedric as well and if Harry didn't act soon she might be his next girlfriend. Poor Cedric how could he go out with someone like chow? Harry was disgusted at the very thought.

Harry sighed. He would do just about anything to get Cedric... anything!

"POTTER!" Harry jumped, looking up. McGonagall was staring straight at him. "What have I been saying for the past hour or so?"

"Um" Harry frantically tried to come up with a sensible answer that would at least make sense, but failed. "Don't know"

"And why is that?" she growled.

"Because I wasn't listening" Harry blushed, feeling his cheeks turn red.

"Harry potter when will you learn!?" she sighed. "That looks like another detention at 5'0 clock this afternoon, you will then copy out the whole lesson. Do I make myself clear?" she snapped.

"Yes Miss Professor McGonagall" Harry replied.

No wonder Cedric wouldn't fancy me, Harry thought as he was walking from his detention to the Gryffindor common room. He was known as being a geek; his only friends were Ron geek number 1 and Hermione geek number 2. Oh and Hedwig and Trevor the toad just too make it even more embarrassing.

As Harry entered the common room he saw Fred and George Weasley putting up a notice. He wondered what these two were up to this time.

"What are you doing?" asked Harry.

"Putting up a notice what does it look like?" they sneered.

"Well what is the notice about let me see?" Harry said.

He shoved them out the way and peered at the notice. It was an advertisement for a maiden auction.

"Why are you holding a Maiden auction?" asked Harry.

"Well 1. We want to make money and 2. We want to find ourselves girlfriends and 3. We want to make money" they said.

They continued rambling on about how unlucky in love they were, but Harry wasn't listening. Yes! That's it the maiden auction, I can take part and maybe cedric A-hem will buy me! Harry thought.

Harry walked up to his dormitory leaving the Weasley twins to wonder why Harry was leaving them in the middle of a conversation.
