I Believe You Can Fly

Cedric ran to the House Common Room, trying to beat everyone else before he could get there. It was too late when he arrived. The room was filled with everyone from the House. Even if Cedric did get third place the Common Room was lively and filled with music. Cedric looked around for his friends. Dan and Tim were both surrounded by girls when Cedric found them.

"Hey Ced, My Buddy!" Dan slurred from light drinking as he placed him arms around Cedric. "I'd like you to meet Jessica, Lindsey, and Sarah. Girls this is Cedric." All three giggled as Cedric approached them, all were dressed in their normal clothes and looked like slut's.

"Hello ladies." Cedric said while removed Dan's hand off his shoulder Tim then approach Cedric.

"Cedric," His words were slurred too form drinking, "I'll be late so don't worry about me mate." Tim escorted Lindsey out of the room and into the hallway.

"I have to go now." Cedric started to walk away when Dan took the golden egg out of Cedric's arm's.

"Hey! Who wants to see what's inside?" Dan yelled so everyone young and old, big and small could hear and all replied with a cheer. "Go ahead Cedric open it." Dan threw it poorly at Cedric who barely caught it. He found the hatch and slowly opened it. Out of the egg came the most horrible sound anyone had ever heard. It was like nails on a chalkboard with a petrifying scream. Cedric clutched his ears as the egg left his hands and dropped down to the floor. The golden egg hit the floor with a thud and the sound was gone. He slowly released his ears from his clutch. Everyone looked up and at Cedric one by one they filed out of the Common Room slowly and into their dorms. The night was silent and peaceful.

It was Sunday when Cedric awoke and he had to prepare for the days plans. He grabbed all he needed into a pile and went down to breakfast. No one was truly downstairs that morning expect some Ravenclaw's and Slytherin's because of the nights activities. There was little chatter in the halls too. Throughout the day random people came up to Cedric saying how well he did the previous day against the dragon and to see if Cedric had any marks left from the encounter.

Cedric sat on the bench in the court yard at Hogwarts. It was late November and brisk out, yet outside it was lively and pacific. All Cedric carried was a messenger bag which contained an important surprise. He looked around for Cho hoping she would come soon. It was five past three, their time. Cedric looked at his watch to check the time. It was five past three which meant Cho would be there soon. He looked through the crowd and started to walk toward them.

"Hello Cho." Cedric said as he handed her a daisy. "Shall we go?" He offered her his arm and she accepted and they walked out of the court yard.

"Cedric where are we going?"

"If I tell you that will ruin the whole thing." He smirked as she pouted but yet she still followed him as they went down a hill.

"Is it really something that good you can't even give hints?"

"Yea."

"Cedric! You know I hate this."

"Why do you think I'm doing it? The best things in life are surprises."

"And you would know because."

"I just do. Now close your eyes."

"Why?"

"Cho, just do it and not a peek okay."

"Okay." Cho said as she giggled out of excitant. Cedric lead her down a big hill and then onto a stone walk way. He stood Cho right at the entrance.

"Open your eyes." Cedric slowly removed his hands from Cho's face and rested them on Cho's waist. She hesitated to open her eyes as he did so. They fluttered open and looked around at their surroundings. A smile swept across Cedric's face as he realized that Cho never expected this at all that it would be this. It had taken him all day to plan from sneaking into the kitchen to get food, all the way to borrowing Roger's broom. Cedric had lead her to the Quidditch stadium with plans of a picnic and flying to follow. She was in awe with everything he had done for her. This made Cedric happy to see Cho like this. He took her hand and lead her to the picnic basket and blanket so they could begin eating. He pulled out sandwiches and cakes and they began to eat.

"Cedric."

"Cho?"

"You really did not need to do all this to me."

"And why shouldn't I?"

"I don't need all this."

"I know I just thought it would be nice way to say thank you."

"You don't need to." Cho smirked. Cedric leaned into Cho and placed his lips on top of hers. They sat there kissing longer than Cedric liked even if he started it. He slow pulled apart from Cho with a grin across his face. Cedric grabbed her soft hands and stood up. He pulled something out of the bag and handed it to her. It was brightly covered and small, Cho opened it. Inside was a little necklace with a silver heart on it. Cedric slowly took the claps and hooked it together. Cho followed his example and they began to walk into the stadium. Cedric found the two brooms and handed one to Cho.

"You ready for the real fun?" He mounted his broom.

"Cedric . . ." Cho was too late for he was already in the air motioning her to do the same as him. She mounted the broom and flew to Cedric.

"Took you long enough to realize."

"Cedric are you sure we're meant to be up here?"

"Of course, I have connections." He flew far into the distance and Cho followed. They flew around the stadium free from everything around them only with each other. Until Cedric felt a drop of rain on his face. He slow went toward the ground and motioned Cho to do the same. His face was flush from the brisk November on his face. "I think we better go inside." Cho gave him a questioning look. "It's going to rain any second now."

Cho understood and helped Cedric pack everything he had brought down to the marsh and they walked to the castle. When they had, gone inside it began to pour.
