She's All That
Chapter Two: That Granger Girl
Fred smirked,
"Well… I have a few ideas. But I reckon your too noble to go through with them"
"What is that supposed to mean!" Cedric asked, mock offended,
"You're a nice guy Cedric" he said matter-of-fact
"Not when it comes to Cho"
Fred looked at him for a moment, considering whether or not to suggest his proposed plan,
"You date a girl, a normal everyday Hogwarts girl. Cho won't like it. She'll be begging to have you back"
Cedric really didn't like the idea of using a girl. But the idea of getting back at Cho was just too appealing.
"Who did you have in mind?"
The next day, Hermione Granger wandered the halls of Hogwarts frantically, where could I have left it? She thought, panicked. She could not believe that she of all people had left her wand lying around.
The last place she had left to look was the library, if it wasn't there she had no idea what she would do. Thankfully, after searching the back of the library she found her wand lying on the floor next to one of the bookshelves.
Sighing in relief, she headed for the Great Hall.
Cedric and Fred wandered the corridors near the library, Cedric didn't know exactly what they were doing here (Fred wasn't the library sort) but Fred had promised he would find out.
From the library, a stressed out looking bushy haired girl emerged whom Cedric vaguely recognised. She was walking briskly yet with a purpose, she smiled at Fred and continued on her way.
"That's her" Fred smiled triumphantly,
"What's her? That Granger girl?"
"Hermione Granger" Fred rolled his eyes, "and yes. That's the girl who is going to take Cho Chang's place"
Cedric couldn't help but scoff slightly,
"Hermione Granger? The smartest girl in the entire school? The Hermione Granger who has two friends, one of who happens to be Harry Potter? And still no one really likes her…."
"I get the idea" Fred laughed, "if anyone can turn her into a sex bomb, its you. It'll drive Cho crazy, don't you trust me?"
A part of Cedric knew that Hermione was too clever to fall for something like this. But another part of him wanted to try, and he knew he would enjoy the challenge. But something was bothering him.
"Why are you doing this? She's friends with your brother!"
"She'll thank me for it at the end of the day! I can't remember the last time she had a date…"
Cedric considered, and ignoring all his moral objections:
"Okay… I'll give it a go"
