Chapter 2- The Arrival
The second Harry and Cedric stepped on to the platform that morning and ran into each other's arms a black cloud had started forming. The carriage ride from Hogsmeade Station to Hogwarts would take the better part of an hour but it would be the only time they would really have together.
"Harry, I was thinking over the summer that this is the last year we'll be at school together. I already have a position at the Ministry and you will be here for another three years. But despite all that I will stay with you. I love you, Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who-Helped-Me-Live." Cedric said.
"Cedric, I love you." Harry said kissing him passionately.
Harry and Cedric kissed all the way to the castle, only stopping to breath. The road was bumpy and they bit each other's tongues but they did not stop. They couldn't, they needed each other. If anything were to happen both were sure to die without the other.
"Cedric, I'm happy you want to stay with me. I don't think I could live without you." Harry said putting a hand on his face.
"My soul died when I thought of the alternative." Cedric said laying his head on Harry's shoulder.
When the carriage came to a stop they knew it would be a while until they would together again. Harry stepped out of the carriage first and was quickly pulled into a Gryffindor crowd by Neville, " Harry, good to see you. How was your summer?"
"Good, fun. Thanks for asking." Harry said looking for Cedric.
He was standing alone by the carriage. Harry pushed his way through the crowd to get to him, " I'm so sorry. I never wanted to leave you."
"I know. Let's go I'm hungry."
They walked into the Great Hall happily not knowing that somethings were about to change forever.
