Two Months Later

Faye was walking down the hall toward the library when someone called her name. She turned around and saw Cedric and was surprised she didn't recognize his voice. Perhaps it was because they hadn't spoken in so long.

"Yeah?" she replied, stopping in place and looking at him.

Cedric smiled at her before opening his mouth to talk, "There's a Hogsmeade weekend coming up this weekend..." he started.

He stopped, expecting her to interrupt. "I'm listening," she said after a minute of silence.

He cleared his throat and continued, "I was wondering if you'd go with me?"

Faye didn't even know why she had waited for him to continue, she knew he was going to ask her. Maybe she just wanted to hear it, having missed his voice over the past months.

They stood in silence before she finally answered, "You know what...I think I'd like that."

His eyebrows shot up and he said, "Ok...wow, I wasn't really expecting that...ok, I'll meet you in the Entrance Hall this Saturday?"

"Ok," she said, smiling at him before turning around and continuing off to the library, leaving Cedric still shell shocked at her answer. He had come with low expectations, and now he felt on top of the world.

"See!" Hailey exclaimed from behind him, making him jump. "I told you she'd come around!"

"Did you tell her I was going to ask her in advance?" Cedric asked her, crossing his arms over his chest.

"No, I promise I didn't...but she has been extremely happy since the Yule Ball, maybe that's why she agreed," Hailey told him.

"Yeah maybe," he said, shoving his hands in his pockets. "I still can't believe it...after four years of trying; I'm finally going on a date with her."

Hailey slapped him on the back. "You earned it buddy," she said. "Now, if you'll excuse me, there's a girl in the library who's going out of her mind with glee who needs me. See you around."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Faye hummed herself a little tune as she applied mascara to her eyelashes carefully, dancing around the room a bit when she was done. She thought that she'd be more nervous...unsure of what she was doing, rather than excited about it.

"Good morning, sunshine!" Hailey exclaimed, walking into the dorm.

Faye smiled at her and said, "It's a lovely day isn't it?"

Hailey laughed. "Well, someone's happy," she said, sitting on Faye's bed.

"Yeah...I guess I am. I finally made the right choice I think," Faye said, grabbing for her wool coat and scarf, putting them on before making her way downstairs, "I'll see you later Hailey."

She entered the Entrance Hall and smiled, seeing Cedric waiting for her. "Hey!" he exclaimed when she reached him. "Ready?"

"Yeah," she replied, walking out into the cold with him. It was below freezing out and Faye wrapped the scarf tighter around her neck, sticking her hands in her pockets as they made their way to the carriages.

When they reached the village, Cedric said, "Where do you wanna go first?"

"Th-three Broomsticks," Faye replied, her teeth chattering.

Cedric grinned down at her, wrapping his arm around her, nearly bursting inside from happiness when she didn't pull away. They entered the warm pub and walked over to a small table, taking a seat.

They ordered butterbeers and talked for almost an hour and the whole time, neither stopped smiling.

By the time they left Faye was definitely sure about her decision and her spirits soared higher when Cedric reached out to take her hand in his. She smiled at him and they walked into Honeyduke's.

She immediately rushed over to the chocolates, dragging him with her. "I see you like chocolate," he observed and she giggled a little.

"Hello, who doesn't?" she asked, reaching for a large box.

He grinned and followed her around the store, grabbing several things on his way, but not as much as she did. "Let me pay for that," he told her as they approached the cashier.

She smiled and didn't complain as he took the candy from her and paid the cashier. After that they wandered aimlessly around the village, stopping everywhere until they couldn't take the cold any longer and decided to head back to Hogwarts.

They were passing some brush on their way back, already out of the carriages and Faye accidentally slipped on some ice, landing on her butt. "Oh my god, are you alright?" Cedric asked, hoisting the giggling girl up.

"I'm fine," she said, still giggling as they stood close together.

They gazed into each others eyes for several moments. He cleared his throat and whispered, "Are you sure you're all right?" He was afraid that if he kissed her, she would run away.

"You're perfect...I...I mean I'm..." she stuttered, blushing as the words slipped out of her lips before she could stop them. Cedric grinned somewhat shyly and looked up at the sky, grinning.

Snow started to fall from the sky and he looked back down at her. Suddenly, she wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "Kiss me, it's beginning to snow."
