The next day she woke up with a pounding headache and couldn't remember what had happened the previous night, but it all came back to her as she got up and found the dress and robe draped across her trunk.
She groaned, falling back down on the bed and
staring at the ceiling from her four-poster. She would have to make a
decision today...one that would undeniably change her life for a long
time.
There was a knock on the dorm room door and Angel
appeared. "Hey...you ok, honey?" she asked, sitting
down next to Rose on the bed. "Harry told me about last
night."
Rose whined and rolled onto her belly, "I'll
survive. I can avoid Cedric forever if I really wanted to...we're
leaving today and it's not like he's going on the train," she
said.
"But you don't want to?" Angel asked.
"That's just the thing," Rose
mumbled. "I don't know if I love him or hate him."
Angel smiled and stood up. With a wave of her wand an outfit was
laying out for Rose and all of her stuff was packed up. "Get
dressed and think about it...I'll see you on the train Rosie,"
Angel said.
"Bye," she said as Angel left the room and
she began to get dressed. At breakfast, she saw Cedric at the
Hufflepuff table, avoiding her eyes at all costs. When Harry
saw who she was looking at, he took her hand and squeezed it.
She smiled at him affectionately before sitting down, eating her
breakfast as fast as humanly possible. "I'll see you in a few
Harry, I have to go ahead to the train now to make sure I get a seat,
I hate having to fight for one," Rose said, getting up and
stretching, she was still tired, before walking quickly out of the
great hall.
She was just out of the castle when she heard someone call her name.
Recognizing that it was Cedric's, she immediately sped up until she
was almost running to get to the train.
"Rose, wait!"
he shouted after her. She reached the platform when she finally
turned around. "I have nothing to say to you," she
hissed.
She boarded the train and stomped down the hall until
she got to the back carriage, taking her seat. She had always sat
here, ever since her first year.
She heard him running down the
hall so she closed the door and locked it. When he finally
reached it, he took out his wand and opened the door. "Please
talk to me, Rose."
"What's the use of a lock on the
door if people don't even respect it?" Rose groaned, getting up
and walking over to him until she was nose to nose with him.
"Get out," she whispered, her eyes boring into his.
He looked at her for a moment before kissing her passionately. She
pulled away. "No! You can't kiss me and make it
better, Cedric!"
She could feel the sexual tension thick in
the air and it made her eyes heavy as they stood so close together.
"Then how come you let me?" he whispered in reply, leaning
back down and capturing her lips again.
He pulled her even
closer, if that were possible, and slid his hand up the back of her
shirt as she moaned at his touch.
They stumbled into the
compartment and Cedric closed the door, locking it with magic before
returning all of his attention back to Rose. "I want to make you
feel better Rose...I hate what I'm doing to you, to us," he
whispered.
"I want to trust you...I want to be with you
again," she mumbled. "But I don't know if I can."
"Just let me try," Cedric pleaded, staring into her eyes
as his hands caressed her bare skin on her belly.
He kissed her
lips softly and she wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the
kiss.
Rose moaned as started to work on her neck, sucking at all
the places he knew drove her crazy. She jumped up on him, her legs
wrapped around her waist as she kissed him from this new height.
He kneeled down and placed her on the floor before straddling her
waist and leaning down to kiss her again.
Rose leaned up on her
elbows as their tongues dueled inside each others mouths. "Mmmmm,
Cedric put your hands on me," Rose whimpered.
He obliged,
his hands sliding underneath her sweater and raising it above her
head. He then started to work at the buttons of her blouse,
running his hands all over her stomach once it was gone.
Her
small body writhed underneath his as he removed her bra and went to
cup her breasts in his hands. Every single whimper or moan that she
emitted caused Cedric to grow even harder than he already was, and
finally as he was caressing her body he couldn't take it anymore.
He quickly pulled off his shirt, Rose helping him work at his pants.
Cedric leaned down, kissing her as he pulled down first her skirt and
then her panties, leaving him in only his boxers. "Let me help
you with those," Rose whispered, pulling them down before gazing
into his eyes and letting him prove his love to her.
Cedric stroked Rose's hair softly, whispering words of love in her
ear. She sighed and snuggled closer to him, her eyes fluttering
closed. "I love you," she whispered before drifting
off to sleep.
Rose held her arm tight around Cedric as they
walked off the train, simply glowing. She finally knew where she
belonged and she finally trusted that this was the right choice. "I
love you Cedric," she whispered, resting her cheek on his chest
as they hugged.
"I love you, too," he whispered
in her ear and kissed her cheek. "And I'll never hurt you
again."
"I know," she told him as they kissed intensely. He picked her up and twirled her around, causing her to giggle a little. Everything was as it should be.
