Chapter nine
Yule Ball
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, but I have the book!
The dance partners thing are still around the halls of Hogwarts. Many girls asked me to the Yule Ball but I triumphantly said, "I'm going out with someone else."
Viktor Krum was also tailed by girls.
When Viktor Krum went to me, I said, "hi!" "Hello, vis is annoying me, pleaz help me from those girls, ve do not vant them!" Then he ran to another direction.
I see that Viktor Krum likes Hermione. Because Hermione was there and he looked at her in a cheerful mood.
I went back to the castle and saw Fleur going to me.
She kissed me on the cheek and asked if I could go with her to the Yule Ball.
I didn't have time to answer because Ron Weasley, interrupted me by saying, "F-F-Fleur… do-do you want to go with me to the ball?"
She said no at once. Then Ron ran out of sight.
"Anyway, Cedric… would you want to go wiz me to ze ball?" she asked.
I said, "Sorry, I'm going with someone."
"But— she sighed and said, "Oh well, I guess I would go wiz anoder boy." She gracefully went away.
Timothy went to me and said in an I-don't-believe-you tone, "You just turned down Fleur Delacour?"
"Why?" I asked, though I know why… he likes her. "I also asked her first but then she turned me down… so I just decided to go with Allyson."
He went away without saying anything anymore.
After two nights, it was the Yule Ball already.
I went in the Common Room then to the dormitory and change into my dress robes.
I really dressed carefully and examined myself in the mirror every time.
Timothy laughed. "You really want to look good, do you?"
"Yeah, of course!" I said truthfully.
He examined himself and said, "Well, this is good… I'd see you downstairs, Cedric!" He rushed off.
I fixed the collar and then off I went.
Cho wasn't there yet so I waited near the staircase. After a few minutes which felt like hours to me, I saw her coming down the stairs.
My heart pounded hard and I felt nervous, My hands were shaking but I'm still standing.
When she was near me, I took her hand and kissed it. She blushed crimson. Then the champions and dance partners paraded through the path thing with all the people at the side.
She was nervous, I could tell because her hands were super cold and a little sweaty.
Then I put my hands around her waist and her hands at my shoulder and then we danced on the dance floor. We were moving gracefully and I loved the feeling very much.
I saw then that we, champions were not alone in dancing, the others started dancing also.
Cho asked me, "Do you, er, want to take a break?" I looked at Timothy dancing with Allyson and they were so close each other. I said, "Sure, I'll get drinks too."
I got drinks and then we went out and drank them… after drinking them, she asked me or maybe the appropriate word was blurted out, "Did you ask me to this Yule Ball or something for what reason?"
I said, "I— well… I thought of you in my mine and all… get it?"
"No, I don't get… sorry!" she said. "I—do I really have to say this?" I asked.
"If you want…" she said. Wow and she was so confident. I was getting noxious.
"I – I love you!" I blurted out.
She looked stunned at first then also said, "I love you too."
I put her around my arms and my lips touching hers, we kissed passionately.
I didn't want to let go!
Then Vanessa went to the scene
