February 3rd, 1995
"Ms. Peterson, could you come with me please?" Professor Sprout asked, walking into the Hufflepuff common room about two months later.
"Is this about my grades? Because I'm really trying to get them up Professor," Bridgette said, setting down her things and following Professor Sprout out of the common room.
"No, Professor Dumbledore would like to see you in his office," Professor Sprout told her, walking swiftly to Dumbledore's office.
"Oh Great, I'm going to be expelled for bad grades," Bridgette thought as they went up the staircase and into his office.
"Ah, Miss Peterson, good," Dumbledore said. Bridgette looked confusedly at him then at the three other people in the room: Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and a little girl she didn't recognize.
"Uhm, Professor, may I ask why I was called here?" Bridgette asked, pushing some of her hair out of the way of her face.
"I was just getting to that, please, sit," Dumbledore said, smiling and gesturing to a chair in front of his desk.
Bridgette quickly sat down next to the other three people as Dumbledore started to talk.
"The second task of the Triwizard Tournament is for the champions to retrieve something...or someone...from the captivity of the mermaids at the bottom of the Black Lake," he explained.
"You four are the people whom the champions are going to have to retrieve," he told them.
"So, in order to ensure your safety, I will be placing a sleeping charm on you before placing you into the lake...don't worry, you will awake once you reach the surface," he finished, motioning for them all to stand up.
What am I doing here? Bridgette thought. It should be Cho here for Cedric, not me.
She sighed and got up, standing behind Ron and Hermione, waiting for her turn.
"Are you ready, Miss Peterson?" Dumbledore asked, smiling. Bridgette nodded and he tapped her with his wand before everything went black.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wish me luck," Cedric whispered to Cho as they stood out on the platform before the 2nd task.
"Good luck," she said, smiling and kissing him as the cannon sounded.
Cedric immediately dove into the water, placing the bubblehead charm on himself right as he hit the water. He knew he was searching for something, but he didn't hear Dumbledore talking about it because he was busy kissing Cho.
He had no idea where to go so he just swam down, following Viktor Krum who seemed to know where he was going.
He swam deeper and deeper, taking a shortcut to get in front of Viktor as he saw what looked like people floating in the water in the distance.
He swam furiously toward them and gasped, seeing Bridgette tied to the statue. He swam up to her, noticing that she looked thinner and paler than ever. He grabbed a nearby rock and desperately hacked at the ropes that bound her.
When finally the rope was undone he took her noticeably thin body in his arms and swam as fast as he could for the top.
Bridgette gasped for air once they reached the surface. Cedric held her closer and swam over to the dock.
"Quick, get them a towel!" Someone exclaimed as Cedric pulled himself and Bridgette out of the water.
Cedric caught the two towels that were thrown at them and wrapped both around Bridgette. "C-Cedric, you need one two," she said, her teeth chattering.
"I'm fine," Cedric said, placing a hand on either side of her face as everyone rushed over towards them.
He leaned forward and kissed her softly. "I'm...I'm so glad it was you," he whispered.
"Cedric?" Cho exclaimed from behind him.
He turned around and stood up, seeing tears in Cho's eyes. "Cho...I...I still love her," he said softly.
She let out a sob but nodded, wiping the tears away from her eyes as she turned away.
He turned back to Bridgette who smiled and threw her arms around him, "So you forgive me?" they both asked at the same time.
Bridgette giggled and nodded. "I love you so much," she whispered, kissing him passionately.
"I'm sorry too, I was such a jackass," Cedric said, kissing her again.
"I shouldn't have kissed him," she said, hugging him tightly.
"I shouldn't have overreacted like that," Cedric said after her, stroking her wet hair and noticing that she was still shivering.
He wrapped his arms tighter around her slim body, kissing her head softly. "Someone get her another towel!" he exclaimed.
Another towel was thrown over to Cedric and he took off the wettest one, wrapping the new one around her as Dumbledore started to talk.
"The points have been tallied and the first place winner of the second Triwizard Task is...Cedric Diggory!" he exclaimed. Bridgette smiled and kissed Cedric's cheek softly as a bunch of people patted him on the back.
After nearly ten minutes, Bridgette and Cedric worked their way out of the crowd and back to the boats. Before she could step into one, though, Cedric turned her around and kissed her fiercely.
"Whoa boy," Bridgette said, pulling back and laughing lightly before stepping down into the boat, helping Cedric down with her.
"I love you," he said, wrapping his arms around her. "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..." when he wouldn't stop, Bridgette pressed a finger to his lips and giggled. "I'm sorry," he said. "But I haven't told you that for almost three months...just making up for lost time."
Bridgette giggled a bit and rested her head against his chest, closing her eyes and sighing.
He held her closer and kissed her head softly. "Once we get back to the castle, you are eating like you never have before," he told her.
"Yeah sure whatever," Bridgette mumbled.
"And then...after that..." he whispered in her ear, turning her around slightly and kissing her softly.
"How about we skip the eating and go straight to that?" she asked, quirking her eyebrows at him.
"That works for me," he said, grinning.
The boat slowly came to a stop and Bridgette jumped out, "You have to catch me first!" she exclaimed, taking off in a run, glad she had the head start.
He quickly jumped up and ran after her. She turned around and screamed, seeing that he was catching up to her. "You'll never catch me!" she yelled, running faster.
She threw the towels off herself, allowing her to run faster as she finally made her way into the castle, running up the stairs, squealing as she saw Cedric almost get her a couple of times. She finally reached the common room, barely squeezing past someone as they opened the portrait hole.
"Got you!" Cedric exclaimed, wrapping his arms around her from behind.
She squealed as he spun her around, setting her back down a moment later, "How about you meet me upstairs in about 10 minutes," she whispered to him.
"I'll be counting," he said, kissing her passionately before she ran up the stairs.
She laughed as she ran up the stairs and went over to her wardrobe, pulling out a few of her unmentionables before deciding to go with her favorite black pair.
She pulled her wet clothes off, about to slide the black panties up her legs when the door opened and Cedric walked in. "I said ten minutes!" she exclaimed, turning around.
"Why bother putting anything on?" he asked, a dark look in his eyes as he suddenly pranced forward, kissing her feverishly before picking her up and setting her down on the bed, his hands attacking her body, but in a good way.
"You are extremely overdressed," she whispered, sliding his swim trunks down his legs, "And cold!" she gasped as his icy skin touched her own.
"Maybe you could warm me up?" he asked, kissing her fiercely.
"I dunno Cedric, what do I get for it?" Bridgette asked, her nipples hardening from Cedric's cold skin being pressed against her.
"Mind-blowing sex," he whispered huskily.
"Mind-blowing, huh? Hmm...I'll have to think about that," Bridgette replied, smiling lasciviously at him.
"Do you need some persuasion?" he asked, cupping one of her breasts.
She moaned loudly, rubbing her legs together in anticipation, "I...I still don't know," she moaned.
He brought his mouth down onto her hard nipple, smiling softly as her moans became louder.
"Do you still need persuasion?" he said, sucking on it some more as her moans became more frequent.
"Oh GOD Cedric, FUCK!" Bridgette screamed as he plunged 3 of his fingers into her.
She writhed beneath him as he plunged another finger into her. "God, Cedric...fuck me!" she exclaimed.
"Oh so now you want that mind-blowing sex huh?" he grunted, his whole hand inside of her by now, Bridgette screaming out as orgasm after orgasm ripped out of her body.
"You don't know how much I've wanted to hold you. To make love to you." he whispered.
"Well now's your chance," she panted, kissing him strongly as they gave into every pent up desire from the last 3 months.
