ARGHH!

I sat down next to Cedric and gulped, turned and smiled. He smiled lazily back at me,"So, Cedric…" I trailed off.

His smile faltered a bit and he asked, "Did you get my, umm, letter, well its more of a note, because its to short to be a letter, and well I couldn't think of anything to say, but now im rambling and, well you're here so I guess you got my letter, ah, note, ah…. Thingy"

Hermione bit the inside of her to keep from laughing, she regained her cool composure before saying, "It would seem so, umm, what did you ask me here for?"

Cedric smiled and asked….."Would you like to go with me to hogsmead Hermione?"

Hermione looked shocked before asking, "Like friends, or not?"

Short chapter huh?

Just, joking. L0L bet you guys love me huh? ON WITH THE CHAPTER!

He cleared his throat and thought 'Well I like her and she's really pretty, but, well, she is young, she is to young to date, I mean, 11, I don't know what to say cause I don't want to….' Hermione's voice cut into his thoughts,

"Cedric, I like you, but just as friends, I... Sorry... But I'm not even allowed to date until I'm older. My parents would kill me, and you!"

Cedric sighed and inward sigh; 'Just friends, good, I can go with Cho' Cedric smiled and nodded. Hermione looked to the sky before saying,"It's getting dark; I'm going to head back, bye Cedric." Cedric smiled and said goodbye, and watched as she left.

(6 months later)

Hermione and Cedric had formed a close friendship over the months and you could almost never see one without the other, besides in classes, Cedric and Cho had started dating and had been going out since the 'note' passing, Cho was Hermione's rival for Cedrics attention, if they went out, Cho had to be on Cedrics arm, and Hermione behind them, it was like Cho was scared of Hermione.

Hermione on the other time was battling her inner self, 'I don't like Cedric, I don't! He's just my friend; he probably doesn't even want to date me. This is so stupid Hermione, he has Cho, he like's Cho, not you, get over it! Get you your head on straight!'

It was a Hogsmead weekend for Cedric, and Cho, Hermione, being to young had to stay behind. Hermione walked to the gates with Cedric and Cho, said goodbye and watched as Cho smiled smugly at her before getting in the carriage.

(In Hogsmead)

Cedric and Cho walked into Zonko's joke shop, Cedric and Cho began looking around, Cho was looking at a miniature parrot when, "OY, Cho! Come over here!" Cho walked through the isles and found Cedric, holding a neon green quill that changed colors with a person's mood, she raised her eyebrow and Cedric asked "Do you think Herms would like this?"

Sighing in exasperation Cho replied, "She probably would Ced, I don't know though, she's your friend, get it for her if you want, I don't really give a flying crap."

Cedric smiled at her said "I think I will"

Narrowing her eyes, Cho stormed off leaving Cedric to follow her, after buying the quill for Hermione. She had him running all around Hogsmead, he finally caught up with her and grabbed her arm, and asked "What is the matter?"

She replied by saying sarcastically, "Gee Cedric I don't know, we are out on a date and you ask me if you should get something for a brat of a first year! Go figure!" she stomped off again.

Cedric stared at her retreating back, and sighed, slowly making his way out of Hogsmead.
