Chapter 2:
And so morning came and I was skipping around our dormitory; skipping from my bed to the shower to my dresser and then down to the Great Hall Why are you so happy?" Ron had that 'What's with him' look. "What I can't be happy?" Ron sputtered and Hermione saved him "Of course you can be happy, Harry." "So why are you so happy mate? You find a lucky girl?" My face got red, "W-well n-not exactly..." Ron got a quizzical look and asked "What do you mean not exactly?" And then Cedric walked over to us and wrapped and arm around my waist, saying "This is what he means by not exactly." And he pecked me on the cheek. At that point my face was the deep red like Gryffindor Red; I ran.
I ran out of there, flying through the doors and out onto the grounds. I didn't stop till I got to the tree by the lake where I usually sit. "Harry!" Cedric's voice called out, He was running down the hill and calling out my name, until he finally saw me. Walking quietly now, catching his breath he came over to me and sat down. "Harry, I'm so sorry..." He took my hand in his, stroking it with his thumb. "It's okay Cedric; you kind of helped me tell them, only problem is I don't know how they took it." I laid my head on his shoulder and a few tears fell. Cedric got me to sit up and looked me in the face and gently spoke "If they are your best friends and they love you s much as they say they do, everything will be fine Harry. I promise." He pecked me on the cheek and gave me a hug. "You sure Cedric?" "Yes, I have confidence that they won't mind. As for you, do you want to go back?" I looked and the ground and whispered "No, not right now. I can't..." He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close and whispered "Then, we can stay out here today. But will you talk to them tonight?" I nodded, "Alright then, I'm glad you'll try. At least for me..." I snuggled into his shoulder a bit more, curling up into his side.
Cedric and I stayed outside like that the rest of the day, until the sun began to set and then we walked back up to the Castle. Well…he kind of dragged be back up to the Castle is other words; I wasn't looking forward to talking to Hermione and Ron when I got there, to say in the least. But he walked me up to Gryffindor Tower anyway; everyone else was still at dinner. Cedric gave me a hug and a quick peck on the cheek, saying good luck and almost unwillingly it seemed walked away and down the corridor. And there I stood, collecting my thoughts before giving the password to the Fat Lady. Once I had given her the password I walked into the Common Room and sat in one of the armchairs by the fire, where no one would hopefully be able to see me...
Here comes the moment I have been dreading, Ron and Hermione just walked in and sat on one of the couches. Here goes nothing? *gulp* I slowly got out my chair and walked over to where they were sitting and sat down. "Harry! Where have you been? We've been looking for you all day." Hermione cried out as she wrapped me up in a hug. "I've been by the lake, with Cedric." I told her. "Why, Mate?" Ron asked; I'm not suree if knows what's going on or not... "Because after what happened at Breakfast; I knew I wouldn't be able to look either of you in the face or be capable to do anything..." Ron placed a hand on my shoulder and whispered "it's okay Harry, I kind of already knew you were gay. We both did..." There was a puzzled look on my face, he continued "I saw you at the World Cup with that American, Taylor. And well, it would explain why you never answered Seamus when he asked about girls. Amazingly, I was able to put the pieces together all by myself without any help from 'Mione." He crossed his arms over his chest in triumph and had a goofy grin on his face. My face was a bit tinged, but I spoke up an asked "Then why didn't you say something, either of you?" "We wanted you to tell us Harry, that way we wouldn't be assuming something that wasn't right. You do understand, right?" I nodded "Yeah, I guess so 'Mione." And the two of them enveloped me in a hug... "Alright, now Harry go find your boyfriend and tell him how well we took this." I pecked Hermione on the cheek, gave Ron a hug, and ran out the Portrait Hole; proceeding to run into my boyfriend.
Thankfully he caught me before I fell, "And where were you going in such a hurry?" Cedric had a hand on the side of my face, caressing it. "I was in a hurry to find you..." I kissed him on the lips, "Really?" "Mmmhhhmmn" Between each kiss a statement was made; "How did they take it, Harry?" I pulled away a little so that I could see his full face and with a chuckle I told him "Yeah... they kind of already knew I was gay and they're happy for us." Cedric pulled me into a hug and whispered "See? I told you they would take it well." "Yeah...I guess you were right."
We left that spot in corridor in case of anyone seeing us, so we walked out of the Castle and down to our spot by the lake. Once we settled down, I was curled up next to Cedric with my head resting on his chest and the rest of my being curled up into his side; he had his arms wrapped around my waist and his head resting on my shoulder. "Harry?" Cedric whispered." I looked up, "Yeah, Ced?" "I love you." "I love you, too." He placed a finger under my chin and tilted it up and kissed me, his other hand was still wrapped around my waist; while my hands were on either sides of his face and neck.
That night, I slept outside by the lake with my gorgeous boyfriend Cedric Diggory... "Why does he have to be so gorgeous?" I still wonder that sometimes...
Author's Note: Hope you guys liked it! Not sure if I did or not, but it was still nice to write something. I know don't do it as often as I used to anymore, with my clay miniatures and the end of the school year piling up on me, along with everything else in general life... But as long as I have wonderful people that read my stories, I will find time to write, even in school. Like right now, I'm in my 1st hour... heheheh
