#2 Middles

"Cedric, you'll do fine."

Cedric Diggory nodded, trying not to let his girlfriend, Cho Chang, see his nervousness. The second task was only a day away and the pressure was starting to get to him. "I should practice the bubble charm again. Do some lengths in the Prefects bathroom."

Cho smiled as she remembered the last swimming practice. Cedric had invited her to join him and they'd spent more time kissing and admiring each other than they did swimming. But still, the water had been nice and snogging while treading water as a very interesting and sensational experience. One that she wouldn't mind having again.

"You going to join me?" Cedric asked, pulling playfully on a piece of his girlfriend's hair. "Go for a late night swim, there's still a hour or two left before curfew. And I'm a prefect."

A smile filled Cho's face and she slid away from Cedric. "You'll just have to give me a minute. A moment to get my swimming things." She took his hand and they proceeded to leave the library. Cedric nodded at Harry Potter when they passed him and his friends paging through a good section of the library.

Cho and Cedric walked through the halls for as long as was practical. Ravenclaw tower and the Hufflepuff common room weren't close together, but they weren't exactly far apart. They shared one last kiss before hurrying in their separate ways, both wanting to see the other again as soon as possible.

Cedric couldn't get ready to leave fast enough. He grabbed his swim trunks and pulled them on under his robes before making sure his wand was in its holster and neatly polished. After all, it wasn't fitting for a champion to improperly represent his or her school. Cedric wanted people to be proud and respectful of Hogwarts.

With his swim trunks on and his homework complete, Cedric left the Hufflepuff common room and set off in the direction of Ravenclaw and the Prefects bathroom. Cho would be in between the two. It was only a matter of time before he found her.

Cedric and Cho met up three corridors away from the Prefects bathroom. They greeted one another with a soft and gentle kiss before starting off towards the bathroom hand in hand.

Cho loved the way Cedric's hand felt in hers. It was warm and large. Big enough to make her feel protected and pretty, like a fairy tale princess. But it wasn't so big that it was clumsy or ugly. And he was skilful. His wand work was amazing and he kissed wonderfully.

"Cho, Cho!"

The couple turned back to face the Ravenclaw girl running towards them. Cho recognised her as one of the first years. Petra Finch was her name and she tended to suck up to the teachers.

"Professor McGonagall needs to see you in her office, right now!" Petra stopped in front of the two.

As Cho gave Cedric one last smile before walking off with the first year he couldn't help his own thoughts of her. I truly love that girl. I don't know what I'd ever do without her.

He didn't know that he was going to be without her, until he rescued her.
