Harry strolled into the Great Hall for breakfast. He was still quite sleepy but he had no intention of waking up at the same time as Ron or Hermione. Unfortunately for him, Hermione also woke up early. They both arrived at the Great Hall double doors at the same time.

"Hello Harry," said Hermione with a peculiar smile. She pulled the handle and opened the door to reveal an almost empty Great Hall except for two or three students, among which was Cedric. Harry slammed the door shut.

"What? What do you want to know Hermione!" exclaimed Harry. His face was red and he had his hands on his head. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"My gosh Harry. Look... I just want to know if you and Cedric are...a thing," she asked carefully. Harry put his hands at his sides and looked at the floor.

"I-uhno," mumbled Harry. He was still looking at the ground and his eyes were watering. Hermione told his she didn't hear him, and he told her shakily, "I don't know!" Some of the portraits of witches and wizards on the walls began to stare at them because he was sobbing. Hermione embraced him with a hug.

"Shh, Harry it's all right." Harry was crying on her shoulder, while she cooed him to calmness. After a minute or two she told him that she didn't mind, and that whatever decision he made was fine with her.

"Thanks, sniff," said Harry. He opened the doors and walked over to Cedric at the empty Hufflepuff table, and then sat down next to him.

"Harry are you okay?" questioned Cedric. He was very concerned and his eyes flashed with fear for a moment. Harry assured him that he was fine, and they shared waffles off the brown haired boy's plate. They didn't say a word to each other but just enjoyed each other's company. Harry opened his mouth to end the scilence and was halfway through a sentence when Cedric made his signature move of putting his hand on Harry's leg.

"Cedric are you going to enter?" Harry's voice cracked on the "en" in enter. Cedric chuckled and nodded his head. Harry put on a pouting face and told Cedric it wasn't funny. "Don't surprise me like that!" he whispered to Cedric. Hermione was pretending not to notice and was humming some song. "Oh my gosh! I have to go...study," lied Hermione as she left the two boys alone.

"Fine, next time I'll just say 'Harry I'm going to put my hand on your leg!' is that okay?" said Cedric sarcastically. Harry rolled his eyes. "He didn't tell me to take my hand off. Oh my god he might actually have seriousfeelings for me," thought Cedric and his heart fluttered.

"Do you want to go hang out by the lake?" asked Harry. "We still have an hour 'till class starts," he explained. Cedric nodded, and they got up and exited the Great Hall together. Hermione smiled from behind a statue where the two boys couldn't see her..

Harry and Cedric sat underneath their tree by the lake and looked at the lake shimmer in the rising sun. The tree was developing some small green budding leaves. Cedric put his arm around Harry and Harry shuddered. "Oh!" thought Cedric and he quickly pulled his arm back. He looked at Harry and bit his lower lip.

"No, no it's okay," said Harry. "Fagg, you like him," thought Harry. "I was just surprised is all," explained Harry and Cedric put his arm back over Harry. They sat there by the lake and started talking.

"Cedric...the reason your dad stopped liking you. Is it because you...like guys?" questioned Harry gingerly, recieving a nod in reply. Harry opened his mouth to ask another question, but noticed Cedric's eyes were tearing and he closed his mouth, but then said, "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. I mean...I guess I'm lucky," started Cedric.

"Lucky!" interjected Harry. "No way!" Harry was looking straight into Cedric's wet blue eyes.

"It could be worse. My brother, Bryce…my father, when he found out Bryce was gay, he kicked him out of the house after he beat him half to death," explained Cedric. Harry gaped at Cedric.

"You're...brother is gay too?" asked Harry. "Oh my god," thought Harry. Cedric nodded his head and then put it on Harry's shoulder. Harry didn't know what to do, so he just ran his fingers the the boy's thick, brown hair.

"I'm sorry. I got you in trouble at the Cup. It's my fault," Harry felt guilty. He lowered his head. Cedric pulled it back up slowly.

"Yeah, it is your fault, for being so damn cute. You were just standing there, I had to grab your arm," explained Cedric with a smile. Harry chuckled.

The two of them sat in the each other's silence and company with Cedric's arm around Harry. Pretty soon they began kissing. Cedric leaned into Harry and put his lips on his. Harry was starting to get used to it. Kissing. Kissing guys. All of it. Cedric's lips were pressing against Harry's, while his stomach danced. Cedric's stomach was doing cartwheels also. Harry let Cedric put his tongue in his mouth while they made out, and then he felt Cedric's hand on his upper thigh and his eyes green eyes popped open. He then noticed his watch. He was late for class.
