Let's bring out the daring side of Cedric.
The next day Cedric was in a pretty good mood, especially Matt, he was too good in a mood, that he was thinking of something. Cedric was at practice, the rest of the team seemed to be doing good, except for him, his arm was giving him a hard time. Matt, who was watching from below, kept laughing at him every time he missed when he tried to score. Cedric knew he was laughing at him, but he wasn't going to have it. Flying down to him, "What's so funny?" he asked Matt, "If I'm not mistaken you seem to be throwing like a girl." shaking his head, trying to contain his laughter. "Like a girl? You are mistaken, I'm not throwing like a girl, my arm is just a little shaky, that's all." telling Matt, but Matt was too busy sniggering, "Shaky from what? 'Ann, my love! Let me stroke your hair, your face, how about your body?'" holding onto his broom, pretending it was Ann, while stroking the brushes of the broom. Snatching it from his hands, "Shut it Matt. It's just a little sore." grabbing his arm and letting out some tension. "With that arm, you're not going to win. You should get that checked!" Matt was at least trying to be serious, "Now you think that I'm going to put us out of the matches? Some friend you are! I have to hear it from Charlie and now from you?" sounding rather offended, Matt could tell, "Whoa, whoa, slow down! I'm just saying you should get it checked! Besides, I wouldn't want out team to loose. Or else I'll be making demands for a good deal." looking at him with a devilish look.
Cedric knew him too well, it was like him to make a deal with people he barely knew. Cedric was always smart to stay away from him when he had that look. But some how, Cedric wasn't backing out of this one. It wasn't persuasion, it was curiosity that made him stay for this.
"Good deals?" Cedric asked him, "That's right mate! I can get some good deals, if I say and make the right demands. Now for you my friend, if you plan on loosing, I can make some good deals for some good galleons." rubbing his hands together in a villainess way, "You think that I'm going to loose this game, all because my arm?" Cedric was now picking up on his ideas, "Oh come on! I'm not that mean! I'm not going to make a bet on you just because, your arm isn't functioning . . . " looking at Cedric with an almost deceitful look, leaving Cedric and Matt staring at each other. Cedric only knew too well that he was lying, but it was his own friend, that's the way he was. Besides, Cedric wasn't irritated by Matt's evil ways, he was determined to go against him. "Fine, I guess you can say that!" Matt finally confessed, Cedric shaking his head.
"Yeah, I thought so. So guess what?"
"What?"
"I'm going to make you eat it!"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh come on! You know exactly what I mean, you think I can't do this? I'm going to make sure you're going to eat those words."
"No way! Cedric is making a bargain with the devil!"
"As a matter a fact, we're going to raise the stakes,"
"I'm listening."
"No money, just pure embarrassment, and orders."
"Me like-Anything goes?"
"Anything goes!"
"No back outs, if you back out you know your really a prick!"
"No such thing, if any of us back out, we'll-"
"We'll what?"
"I don't know!? Uh-we'll run around the hall naked, with a paper bag over our head?!"
"HA! You got yourself a deal?"
"Wait! I didn't even deal with you. I just laid out the consequences!"
"Oh come on you mad man! Tell it!"
"Since you said, that we might loose this next game and I say no. I'm going to say that we are going to win and if we do win, you have to tell Professor McGonagall and every female teachers that you love them, with a tragic story in between, about how much you loved them from the first day you saw them, and all that-"
"And if you loose, I'm dreaming of you in your nickers all day at school!" Matt looked a little to happy at this point. Leaving Cedric in an akward silence.
"I hope you really don't see me in your dreams with my nickers . . ." Cedric told him, making Matt embarrassed.
"Well, of course not! Not-"clearing his throat and coming back to earth, "I'm mean, I can see that when you loose, you are going to be in your nickers, walking around school- Oh, oh, oh! I have to top this off- Any girls I point or pick out, you have to walk up to them and talk to them."
"What?!"
"You heard me! So are going to shake on it?" sticking out his hand so that he could shake his, while Cedric stared at him, 'What did I get myself into?' he asked himself. Taking his hand he shook it, "We have a deal." making Matt even more delighted, "Deal, my brother." telling him.
Let the games begin!
