"Hermione" Cedric said.
"Yes Cedric," Hermione said silently pleading him to make some lame excuse.
"This isn't what it looks like." He said following her out to the hall.
"Cedric it looked like you were kissing her so unless I'm blind it was exactly what I saw. But you don't have to explain to me. It's not like we're a couple." Hermione smiled. Behind that smile, damn it she was hurt.
"Hermione, you know what she's like. She kissed me. I like you okay, I don't know how much I like you yet but it's a notch above friendship." Cedric said with a dumb smile on his face.
"Right well I'll take a number and you can get back to me on that theory." Hermione said smiling and returning to the bathroom. She really did smell. She had been so foolish. How could she expect the Hogwarts champion to fall for her when he had an entire fan club of beautiful, giggly girls following him. Not to mention Cho Chang goddess of Hogwarts halls.
"Hermione, don't be mad at me please" Cedric said flying in through the portrait door. Cedric took a glance around the room and he found her.
"Cedric honestly I don't care, I don't own you, so please just leave before I have to jinx you."
"Hermione I can't leave you like this its like some shitty romance novel. I like you okay I like you a lot but please don't take that stupid kiss seriously. Great its raining this truly is a crappy romance novel. With a lover's fight comes the tragedy that is rain." Cedric said cornering Hermione near the nearest window.
"And you know what always makes everything that little bit more tragic, Hermione?"
"Ummmm no," Hermione replied nervously. She knew what was so tragic she knew he was going to kiss her and then storm out of the bathroom and go kill Cho. Ok so maybe killing Cho was going a little to far. 'Shut up Hermione he's leaning in to kiss you.'
Cedric placed his hands on the wall either side of her.
"And this is where I kiss YOU." Cedric whispered. It was the sweetest most perfect kiss Hermione would ever experience long after Cedric died.
His right hand fell from the wall and caressed her cheek but all too suddenly our hero pulled away.
"And this is where I tragically leave you hanging on for more," Cedric said smirking the most cheekiest smirk Hermione had ever seen. She sighed as his hand fell from her face and he started to laugh.
"Why are you laughing you jerk?"
"Why are you calling me a jerk?" Cedric asked
"Cos you just kissed me when you're clearly in love with Cho Chang" Hermione squeaked.
"Hermione for someone so bright you're pretty dumb to things of the heart."
"How so?" She asked. Okay so she Hermione Granger was pushing it. There was no way in hell he was going to say he loved her.
"Granger, I already said I liked you, you got a kiss, you almost have my heart what more do you want from me?" Cedric said walking backwards to the portrait door.
"I-I-I" Hermione stuttered as she saw his walk out the door.
