Moment Fourteen : Cedric Diggory (Harry Potter)
Kagome glared at the boy who gave her a sheepish smile, she didn't know why she agreed to this. He could have asked any girl and it had to be her.
Then all her friends made her agree to it!
What was wrong with them! Sure, he was a pretty boy, but there was something about him that she didn't like!
She just didn't know what the 'something' was yet.
"I'm sorry...I know you don't like me that much..." He paused as he gave her another smile as he fiddled with the mug of butterbeer that was sitting in-front of him, "I have liked you for awhile, and my when my friends found out...well...lets say it was their goal to make sure we had a date."
Cedric gave a sigh then looked at Kagome, "You can leave if you don't want to be here...I was just..hoping..." The sentience was left unfinished.
Kagome felt bad. She was nice to almost everyone. Even Malfoy Jr. who picked on everyone. She at-least tried to hide her dislike for someone.
"No..." she paused, really looking at the person in-front of her, "I'm sorry...I will try..and be nice..." She gave the Hufflepuff a small smile, "...we can see how the day goes...after that we will see where w stand...sound good?"
Cedric flashed her a winning smile, "Thank you!" He was happy, after four years of liking her he was going to get a chance.
Kagome picked up the mug and took a sip they were really in an awkward moment now. She had no clue what to talk about.
She didn't even date...and wanted to keep it that way!
"Soooo how did your friends figure out you liked me?" She knew his friends were persistent, but they weren't the most observant people in the world.
Cedric had guessed this question was going to come up from what he confessed earlier, "They found out by me having a slip of tongue when they were over and my mother cornered me about not finding a fine witch to think about settling down with after graduation." A blush covered his cheeks as he remembered the incident.
It had been utterly embarrassing...or hilarious as his friends told him.
Kagome's lip twitched up in a small smile at this, she would have loved to see that happen. Then again her mother did the same thing to her on multiple occasions.
She sympathized with him.
The two of them lapsed in silenced after that until they both finished their drinks. Looking out the window she could see the movements of all the students and sighed.
"Would you mind going to Honeydukes?" Kagome questioned, she was going to give this 'date' more time. If he liked her as he said he did, she would give him...a somewhat chance.
"Sure!" Cedric stood up leaving some coins on the table for the drinks.
Kagome got up and was about to set her own money down when Cedric shook his head, "I got this, it's only fair since I dragged you out on this date."
She gave him a small smile, as he led her out of the pub and out into the student filled streets.
'He isn't that bad.' Kagome thought as they entered the candy shop. She could try to get to know the Hufflepuff...even if there was something about him she couldn't quit put her finger on.
