Hello.
This is the continuation of my previous chapter.
Seriously guys, if you read, doesn't matter if it's good or bad feedback, I appreciate reviews of any kind.
Anyways, enjoy.
Cedric Diggory laughed, not just a soft laugh though, more like a full-blown all out fit of laughter.
To say that he didn't expect for Hermione, ever the Gryffindor, to be afraid of thunderstorms. But hey, everyone has at least one fear right?
Apparently she became calm through Cedric's laughing, like it had comforted her.
"Thank you for that," she said breathlessly, as if having just ran a marathon.
He chuckled, "Thanks for what exactly Granger?"
"For helping me calm my nerves down," she said quietly albeit shyly.
"No need for thanking me, I just simply found it amusing that you would be afraid of thunderstorms," he chuckled with obvious amusement.
"Yes, well, everyone's entitled to at least one fear, are they not? For I think no person in the world would ever be fearless completely," she said so formally.
He smirked in the dimly lit corridor, "No, I suppose not Granger. But if we don't hurry quick, I'm afraid that your fear wouldn't just b the thunderstorms."
Hermione cocked her head to the side, "How so?"
"You'd also be fearing getting late to lunch, where the big announcement for tonight will be," He said with a forming grin.
"Oh, yes, I haven't quite remembered properly, thank you Diggory." She said with a fleeting smile.
He catched up to her as she started walking again, "Cedric."
"Excuse me?" Hermione inquired.
"You can call me Cedric, no need of formalities you know?" He said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh, but why are you getting on first name basis? We're hardly close Diggory," She said with her very own "see-if-you-can-answer-to-that" kind of town.
Apparently, Cedric Diggory can, "Then, let's be close Granger, no harm in making new friends, especially someone as interesting as you."
"Apparently you haven't got a whiff of gossip have you?" she said while smirking.
"I don't quite understand a word you're saying," He said with a curious tone.
She sighed, "I meant, how am I interesting when everyone calls me the bushy-haired prudish bookworm? Coz last time I checked, that's hardly interesting"
"That's not quite right Granger, they only presume what looks it on the outside, like regarding me as a "pretty boy", I think it's preposterous really," He said with a warm smile, a kind gesture to a would-be new close friend.
"Don't even try Diggory," She said, as if knowing some underhanded move would partake soon.
"Try what?" feigning innocence as Cedric said.
She rounded up at him, looking at him closely, they were in another corridor, but this time, the lighting was bright. "Trying to get close to me. What do you want, just say it."
Cedric Diggory looked put off, did she seriously think I wanted something from her just to get to know her?
"Actually Granger, the pleasure of your company is enough."
She scoffed at this, "Pleasure of my company? I think people find it more pleasurable when they're out of my company"
"Don't be ridiculous Granger, I bet you anything that you're one heck of an interesting person," He said smugly, obviously undeterred with her actions and words.
"Fine then, if you really wanna get to know with no other intentions, prove it," And with that, she turned on her heel, stalking away towards the Great Hall. Leaving a certain Head Boy grinning madly with his head filled with ideas.
So she wants me to prove it huh? Oh, I'll prove it alright. You're one interesting witch Hermione Granger.
To Be Continued. . .
