Chapter 2

"Anya, is that really you?" Cedric was having trouble believing who was standing in front of him. When Cedric was eight he had received a letter from a little girl in France asking if he would please be her friend. They had exchanged letters weekly and sometimes daily for the last seven years. She had become his everything, more than a best friend and confidant and yet since they had only exchanged photos not lovers. Cedric did love Anya after all over the years they had told each other all of their deepest secrets. Cedric could remember how scared she had seemed even in a letter when she told him about some of her magical gifts. As though her doing odd things could stop his friendship. He still felt extremely flattered when he thought about the reason for that first letter. Anya was a seer of sorts. She didn't make prophesies or general predictions but, she could see if something would directly affect her life. According to Anya Cedric even at eight was very important to her life and she couldn't wait to get to know him.

This beautiful creature standing in front of Cedric was his Anya? He opened his arms and she practically flew across the room. For the first time Cedric was hugging the most important person in his world. Anya was laughing as he picked her up and twirled her around. In the moment all the stress he had been feeling melted away this is exactly what he needed. He had not told her of his dilemma in his letters because writing it out made it seem even larger than he was able to deal with. She would help him. "Oh Cedric, its wonderful news I'm here to stay. I'm going to Hogwarts in the fall and staying here with you all summer!" She said all of this with a large smile on her face. Cedric thought he saw something behind the smile, a look that came too quickly for him to figure out. She hadn't told him anything about coming to see him. She had a vision the question was whether it was good or bad.

That night after their parents had gone to bed Anya came into his room and got into bed with Cedric. "I really am so glad to be here with you Ced but we have some problems to deal with. So you tell me yours and I'll tell you mine. We will put our heads together and deal with them like always just without owl delay."

He chuckled at that and turned on his side to face her. "I feel as though it will all be alright now. Ann how could it not we're together. I can't believe how beautiful you are."

She smiled shyly before lightly hitting his arm "Ced we exchanged pictures!"

He laughed "I know didn't do you justice. Who goes first you or me?"

Anya turned to face Cedric and pulled herself so she was snuggling into him. "I love you Cedric, so much. Can you do me a favor?"

"Anything" he put his arm around her and pulled her closer.

"Kiss me" he looked at her unsure and she nodded. He leaned in meaning to chastely press his lips against hers. Once their lips touched all thoughts about chaste went out the window. He pulled her closer as he deepened the kiss and she was kissing him back. He felt her hands tug on his hair pulling him closer he moaned then rolled them so he was lying on top of her. He grabbed her right leg and hitched it over his hip causing her to moan. They broke for air with both of them panting.

Cedric didn't know what was happening to him. Since the locker room he had thought of nothing but being with another man. Now he had his Anya under him in bed with his excitement rubbing against her. He started to pull away when she wrapped her arms and legs around him keeping him from moving away. Her movement caused him to groan at the friction and he dropped his forehead to her shoulder. "Tell me Cedric. Trust me."

With his forehead still on her shoulder Cedric told her everything that had happened since the locker room including how often he was touching himself to those images. He even told her about his fantasies of her he had before the locker room and how confused he was now. She listened quietly to everything he said while scratching her nails through his hair. When he was done he looked at her "I don't know what is happening to me. I'm still very attracted to you and girls but, I can't deny how attracted I am to guys also."

She looked at him and said "Cedric if you could have it all would you want it?"

"I don't understand."

"If you could be with me have a family and grow old together and still have a man that you could be with would that make you happy? Cedric you are bisexual and I love you more than anything but I don't think I'm enough. I'm okay with that as long as it's someone we both care about and can trust. I also want to be your first. Then it's just me and him no one else would that make you happy?"

Cedric didn't know how to respond was she offering to be his girlfriend and be okay with him having a boyfriend? "How does that work? Won't you be upset if I'm with someone else?"

"Trust me Ced when you come and tell me about the guy who will take a part of your heart he will be amazing and we will all sit down and talk about how it will work together."

Hope was starting to blossom in Cedric not only was she accepting him but she was offering a relationship he never would have thought possible. He then had a thought that made him feel like crap considering what she was offering him. "Are you going to have a relationship with someone else too?"

She smiled "You hate that thought don't you? No, just you as long as we can be together we will be happy. Cedric will it upset you if the guy has a relationship with someone else also?"

"You mean another guy?" He was relieved Anya would be with only him and wasn't sure how it would work with so many people involved it seemed impossible.

"No, a girl and she would be to him what I am to you."

Cedric looked at her sharply "What did you see Anya?"

She looked at him with tears streaming down her face "You die at seventeen if things don't change now." She broke down in sobs as Cedric stared at her in horror.
