First Fanfic. Flames welcome but they will be ignored. Obviously, HP is not mine though I wish Cedric was.
Hermione frowned as she sorted through her collection of muggle movies. She didn't have many but it was a pretty decent collection for a wizard. She shook her brown, bushy head as she pushed aside 'Titanic' and continued her search. She smiled a satisfied smile when she found 'Mrs. Doubtfire' under the other cases. She placed it beside her and then debated whether to pick 'The Journey Of Natty Gann' or 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' She shook her head and placed Natty Gann into her trunk with the rest of the movies. She then made her way out of the Gryffindor common room and onto the Hogwarts grounds.
"Okay! I got the movies!" Hermione said as she found Cedric Diggory sitting against a tree by the lake reading.
"Great," He said as he stood up and kissed the young witch briefly. "Only two?"
"Yes," Hermione sighed as she handed him the cases. "These are really the only two worth watching at least to someone our age."
"Muggle movies a bore?" Cedric asked.
"Not all of them," Hermione replied as she slipped her hand into his. "Just the Barney ones. Ugh!"
Cedric laughed as him and Hermione walked towards the castle in deep conversation.
"So, what's this?" Cedric asked looking at one of the cases.
"Oh, that's hilarious!" Hermione chirped. "It's called 'Mrs. Doubtfire'. It's about a man who dress's up as a woman so he could be a nanny to his own kids."
"And this?" Cedric asked with a highly amused look on his face.
"I Know What You Did Last Summer." Hermione stated as she eyed the eerie looking movie case.
"You do?" Cedric asked as he raised his eye brow.
"No! And I highly doubt I'd want to anyways! It's the title of the movie!" Hermione snapped with a grin.
"Oh, what a naughty little witch." Cedric said as the couple stopped by a pair of large doors. "Talking back to a prefect. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I'm afraid it's lunch detention for you, Ms. Granger."
"And it's my fault you're a bimbo when it comes to Muggle Studies?" Hermione grinned.
"Strike two." Cedric whispered as he kissed Hermione lingeringly.
"You know," Hermione started. "Maybe detention wouldn't be that bad."
"See you later, Granger." The Hufflepuff said as he kissed Hermione's forehead and walked into the castle.
"Honestly, Ronald!" Hermione snapped irritably as she sat in the library with him and Harry. "Don't you listen?"
"Sometimes," Ron replied angrily. "It depends on what it is!"
"Avis means conjuring a flock or birds! Not catfish!"
"And you expect me to know this how? You shouldn't seeing as I haven't finished eight bloody sections of the library yet!"
"You are the most immature little wart! Ahh!" Hermione said as she disappeared into a long row of books across the room waving her fist.
"Nice going, Ronald." Harry said as he closed his potions book. "Now she'll never do my homework for me again! That goes for you too!"
"How dare he! The little- Ouch! Watch it!" Hermione said as she ran into a certain Hufflepuff.
"Ron again?" He asked.
"Oh, Cedric! You startled me!" Hermione said. "Yes Ronald! He thinks you can conjure a flock of birds by screaming catfish at the top of your bloody lungs!"
"Lucky for you, Granger, you've got detention in 5 minutes. He can't bother you there now can he?"
Hermione's eyes widened at the boy in front of her.
"What! Diggory, this may mean nothing to you but I have to study! It wouldn't hurt you to do the same!"
"What?" Cedric mocked in a frilly tone.
"Can you possibly be more childish!" Hermione snapped.
"Oh, yes!" Cedric smiled. "Hermione! I want a pony!"
Hermione scowled and started to push past him. Cedric caught her by the arm and pulled the smaller witch to him. He then started trailing kiss's down her neck.
"Cedric! Ced- ugh- You little-" Hermione started.
"Hopeless Badger?" The young prefect finished. "That's usually it."
"You can't kiss your way out of this, Diggory!" Hermione said trying to sound threatening but failing miserably as a smile spread across her face.
"Okay, Granger." Cedric said as he pulled away. "I'll make a deal with you."
"Name it."
"You read this," Cedric said as he pulled a book out of his robes. "And your off the hook."
Hermione's eye's widened as she took the book.
"Advanced Divination!" Hermione croaked. "But- but-"
"See you tonight, Granger." Cedric said as he pecked her lips and walked away.
Hermione looked around the almost deserted Gryffindor common room. She kicked Harry from under the table and mouthed 'Invisibility cloak'. Harry nodded and went upstairs to get it while rubbing his knee painfully.
"Cedric again?" Ron muttered.
"Yes, Ronald!" Hermione said shortly as she was still quiet angry with him. "Let me guess, you have a date with Viktor Teddy Bear tonight?"
"Oh very funny! Ha, ha, ha!" Ron said crossly. Hermione rolled her eyes as Harry came back with his cloak.
"Here you go, 'Mione." Harry said trying his best not to make her mad as she had a scowling look on her face.
"Thanks." Hermione said shortly as she draped the cloak over herself. "I'll see you boys later."
"What did you do now?" Harry asked turning to Ron as Hermione left.
Hermione walked quietly through the halls searching for Cedric. She found him waiting outside an empty class room.
"Cedric!" Hermione whispered loudly. She then walked up to him and revealed herself.
"Everything set up?" She smiled.
"Everything." Cedric said as he hugged her to him. Hermione smiled up at him as he kissed the side of her lips softly. She then depended the kiss by pulling the gray-eyed boy to her.
"Hey," He whispered stroking her cheek. "Why don't we save the make-out session for the movies. Hmm?"
"Deal." She whispered as they walked into the class room and closed the door. Hermione slipped 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' into the VCR that Cedric had carefully set up along with a decent sized television. She then joined the young Hufflepuff on the sofa that had originally been a wooden stool. She kissed him softly as the movie started.
"Holy. Moly. Moaning. Myrtle." Cedric said as he looked at the bushy haired girl who was now hiding her head in his shoulder.
"I can't believe your scared!"
"I can't believe your not!"
Cedric laughed and pulled the 4th year into his arms. He kissed her head softly as he continued to watch the movie. The couple watched as Ryan Philipe was stabbed in the neck with a hook. Just as Sarah Michelle Gellar screamed so did Hermione.
"Hey," Cedric said soothingly. "It's alright. I'm here."
"Your not a crazy murderer are you?" Hermione said obviously shaken.
"Maybe." He joked but then stopped when he saw the frightened look in Hermione's eyes. He lowered his head and kissed her softy as he smoothed back her hair. Hermione's tenseness began to disappear as the kiss deepened. She cupped the boy's face and leaned into his embrace. They pulled back slightly out of breath.
"You okay?" Cedric asked with concern. Hermione smiled and nodded as she rested her head on his chest. She smiled as she listened to his heart beat rapidly. He was scared. Hermione intended to rub this in later but for now she just wanted to get through the rest of the movie. 20 minutes later the movie ended. Hermione had calmed down quiet a bit and was about to tell Cedric to switch the movies when she realized he was asleep, his head resting softly on hers and his arm draped lazily around her waist. She used her wand to pop in 'Mrs. Doubtfire' and smiled as she continued to watch the television screen. She slowly but surely drifted off to sleep as Cedric's heart beat peacefully in her ear.
Our hearts are connected. You know that?
