Woohoo! Thank you all for so many reviews. To show my luff, I give you this chapter, which I'm sure will have several of you prancing around the room in happiness. I know I would...

No two chapters, today, though. I've got things to do, and in fact, I may not be updating until this weekend. Mid-Terms. ;-;


"But... but Cedric..."

"I've got to patrol, Cho, not tonight."

Her little frame pushed up to his- he felt the emphasis she was putting on her breasts... honestly, why bother? It's not like she had that much to brag about, and even if she did, he certainly didn't care! He didn't like the way they felt, pushed to his chest. They were... weird. "No." He said firmly, watching her switch methods in about two seconds. Her bottom lip popped out and she stared up at him like a little doe caught in the headlights, her brown eyes all wide.

"Ced," She purred, using that damned nickname that ground on his nerves. It wasn't HIS name! His name was CedRIC!

"Cho, knock it off." He pushed her away, and she stared at him, confusion and finally, anger written there.

"What is your problem?" She stomped one foot, glaring up at him. "Why can't you be like everybody else! I want to be with you, Cedric, why do you have to be so..."

"So what?" He snarled, sounding a good deal more savage than he'd intended. She glared at him, stepping up and giving him a shove that, for both of their sakes, he let make him stumble into the wall behind him.

"Fine! We're... done!" And she stormed off down the hall, leaving him to stand there for several long minutes. He waited until she was gone, and clasped a hand into a fist, a soft 'Yes!' escaping him. Turning away, he headed down the hall, a new bounce in his step as he did so.

Gee, did it feel great being single! He could do whatever he wanted! Hook up if he wanted(which he didn't), or take whoever he wanted to Hogsmeade with him on the next break(he hated Hogsmeade), or just.. relax! Maybe he could even see Harry- Woah.

The clicking of his shoes stopped and he stared at some random spot on the wall, shocked at himself. Harry. Harry Potter. The Boy-Who-Lived, but so much more to Cedric.

That little, skinny frame just begged to be held. Cedric would do that. He'd hold him quite happily. He'd hold him as they sat together, cradling each other and telling them what they had loved and ignoring what they hadn't... and Cedric would run his fingers through that gorgeous, dark hair, and watch as emerald eyes took in the world around him.

God, did he want that fourteen year old.

"Cho, what-"

"Oh, shut up, Harry!" She sobbed, trying to shove away, but finding that his grip on her was too tight. "I hate him! I hate everybody!"

"What happened?" He cautiously asked her again, hoping to breach those tears and figure out why she had ran at him sobbing and blubbering and all around pissed off.

"I broke up with him! He's a selfish bastard and I never want to see him again!" A squeak escaped her, as she had finally broken away... only to topple over onto her arse. Harry quickly helped her up, finding that his heart was thudding very quickly now. Cho and Cedric had split up...

Cho and Cedric had split up!


Teehee. Happy, everybody? Let me know, then, or I could change my mine. -shifty eyes-
