Crispy is How I Like It

Cedric was quickly escorted to the First Aid Tent by two men who were there to make sure the Dragon's did not go too far. Cedric felt a stinging sensation as he was carried to the room. The skin was third-degree burned and to Cedric felt like this was how he was going to look forever. The two men slowly put him on the bed. The softness stung his burns and he screamed at the top of the lungs. Madam Pomprfy rushed in the room with a huge bucket of orange paste.

"Why? Why must you kids always hurt your self?" Cedric did not answer for he was into much pain.

"Never mind lad. This might sting Mr. Diggory." She took a glob of the thick orange. Cedric twisted and turned, groaned and moaned as the thick orange paste touched his crispy skin. It took ten minuets to get his face covered in the thick paste and still half of him to go. Cedric closed his eyes the rest of the time Madam Pomprfy treated him with the paste. "All done Mr. Diggory, not as bad as you thought eh. I'll come and get you in a few hours to clean you up. Right then the Head of the Huffelpuff House walked through the tent over to Cedric.

"Mr. Diggory the judges think that it would be best if you not go out and get your score but stay here and rest. The judges also told me to give you the score, a seven, a nine, two eights, six, which totals to thirty eight."

"Thanks Professor." Cedric said as she left and Fleur walked in. Her skirt was a bit burnt and she had lots of cuts and bruises.

"Mrs. Delacour please come lay here." Madam Pomprfy said escorting her to a bed. Veronica and a young girl that looked like Fleur walked in next. The little girl walked over to Fleur while Veronica walked toward Cedric.

"Hey Cedric you all right?"

"What? Oh I'm doing as good as I can Veronica."

"Surprised you still remember my name. Cho is on her way."

"Thanks." Cedric said as Veronica left to check on Fleur. Then the tent was quite and their voices could be heard throughout the tent.

"Oh meh cousien I zought I was going to be deed out there."

"Well Fleur you gave us both a scare." Cedric laying down in his bed began to think after hearing what both Fleur and Veronica just said.

So she's related to the Delacour's .

How odd she looks nothing like them,

Well she does a bit look like Fleur a bit.

That is kind of odd though.

Cho walked in the tent and headed toward Cedric. He looked at her with loving eyes as she approached his bed with him all burnt up and wounded. Her face was shocked seeing him covered in a orange gunk.

"Oh, Cedric! Are you okay?"

"I'm okay as I can be but I understand if you . . ."

"If I don't what Cedric?"

"Go out with me."

"Why because you got hurt in the first task. Cedric no one said it was going to easy. Any ways I like you no matter what. Crispy is how I like my chicken so I'll take you that way too." Cho rested her head on Cedric's good shoulder. A smile swept across his face. His arm slowly went around Cho's shoulder and it rested there for a few minuets until Madam Pomprfy stopped by to check on Cedric again.

"Miss Chang you must leave now."

"But . . ." Cho started to say.

"No buts Miss, you must leave now."

"Okay. See you later Cedric."

"Bye Cho." By now all the Champions had entered the tent and Madam Pomprfy helped Cedric sit up.

"Diggory you feeling better now?"

"Better than before."

"Good. Now can you stand up Mr. Diggory?" Cedric pulled his feet off the end of the bed and stood on his two feet. Both him, Krum, and Fleur all walked into the tent everyone had been in before they each faced their dragons. Cedric saw Harry and smiled knowing that he was fine, "Great job Harry."

"You too Cedric" Harry said waiting for Mr. Baghman's words.

"All of you, well done! Now you all have a break before the second task which will take place on February twenty-fourth at half past nine. Til then we had given you each something to think about. The eggs in which you all are holding will open, you see the hinges? There is a clue inside in which you need to solve to prepare you for the next task-for it will tell you what the second task is. Well you can go now." Mr. Baghman said and then left the tent.

Cedric was the last one to leave the tent and he left with Fleur.

"Oh, Cedric you must be in so much pain." Fleur said trying to flirt with him but he spotted Cho in the crowd and decided to go with her.

"Fleur I'm actually fine, I've got to go now. Good luck." Cedric darted away from Fleur and raced to Cho. "Cho! Wait!"

"Cedric! Oh, it's good to see you walking."

"Thanks, I was wondering would you meet me in the court yard tomorrow at our time?"

"Why?"

"Just yes or no."

"Yes, but why . . .?"

"You'll see." He gave he a quick peck on the cheek and went inside to his room.
