Chapter 6: The 1st Date
As the last class came to an end, Hermione ran to the girls' dormitory to get ready. Parvati looked over and said, "Hermione, why are you putting on make-up?" "Oh…um…I have a date." She said, blushing. Lavender shrieked and ran over. "Ooh! With who?" "Yeah, with who?" Parvati asked. Hermione laughed. "Well, if you must know, it's with Cedric." "Diggory!" Lavender shrieked. "Yes, that Cedric." Hermione said, laughing. She looked at her watch. "Well, I've got to go. Don't want to keep Cedric waiting." She walked away, thoroughly enjoying the looks of sheer envy on Lavender and Parvati's faces.
When she got down to the Quidditch pitch, Hermione looked around. Where's Cedric? She thought. Then she heard a voice behind her say, "I was wondering when you would get here!" Hermione turned around to see Cedric sitting on a broom. "So, Cedric, what do you want to do?" she asked. He laughed and said, "Well, I was thinking we could fly!" He picked a broom off the ground and gave it to her. Hermione laughed nervously and said, "Well, you should know that I'm not very good at flying!" Cedric smiled and said, "Give it a try, at least! You won't get better unless you do it!" Hermione gulped and said, "Well, okay…"
She got on the broom and it immediately shot straight up. She screamed, but after a few seconds, she gained control of the broom. She laughed as she turned and flew around the pitch. "See, now, that wasn't so bad, was it?" Cedric said, laughing as he flew alongside her.
Hermione knew it was bad, but she was starting to get sleepy. Before she could stop herself, she had fallen asleep on the broom. She started to fall off the broom. Halfway down, she woke up and started screaming.
Cedric looked up and saw Hermione falling. He raced over and caught her 5 feet from the ground. "Are you okay?" he asked her. She nodded weakly. "What made you fall off your broom?" he asked. "Umm…well…I'm kinda sleepy, so I guess I fell asleep." She said. Cedric looked at his watch. "Well, no wonder! It's 8:30!" he said, laughing. They started to walk back to the school, talking and laughing.
(A/N: My friend Deanna asked me to put this part in, so here it is!)
As they turned a corner, they stopped dead in their tracks. Draco Malfoy, Deanna Rogers, and a few other Slytherins were standing there getting stoned. "What do you think you're doing?" Cedric said, half yelling. "Why are you with that Mudblood?" Malfoy asked, smirking. "Don't you dare call her that!" Cedric said angrily. "Ooh, you're so scary! What are you gonna do about it?" Deanna said sarcastically. "50 points from Slytherin! Each! Next time I catch you, it'll be even more! Now go!" Cedric said, now fuming. "C'mon guys. Let's go." Malfoy said.
"Hey, Hermione. Sorry about that." Cedric said. "It's no problem, Cedric. I'll see you at tomorrow's study session." Hermione said, smiling. "Okay, but before you go…" Cedric started to say. "Yes, Cedric?" Hermione said. Cedric didn't say anything for a second, then slowly leaned down and quickly brushed his lips with hers. Then he pulled away, blushing and saying, "Well, I'll see you tomorrow, then." She nodded and walked away.
As Hermione walked back into the girls' dormitory, she was immediately met with squeals. "Well? How'd it go?" Lavender asked excitedly. Hermione laughed and said, "Well, we went flying, and…he kissed me." Parvati and Lavender both shrieked. "You are so lucky, Hermione!" Hermione laughed and said, "Yeah, I guess I am. I'll tell you guys about it later. I'm really tired." She yawned. "Night, guys."
