Harry Potter and its universe do not belong to me
Prologue :
After three years of Hogwart's Bullshit Adventures and Crazy Potter Luck, Harry was determined to have a nice, peaceful, boring, normal year. And for that, he was ready to do anything ! Which started by following his « Being a common teenager » manual's instructions. From what the book said, teens were supposed to suffer from « Hellish Puberty's Akward Puppy Love » syndrome. This marvelously ordinary illness was easy enough to understand, and Harry could even recognize some symptoms within himself. They were only the main points, but having them made Harry more confident in his abilities to be your usual boring angsty teenager.
At Privet Drive, during the summer holyday, he even tried to befriend the subject of his puppy love of the time. It was just his luck that said muggle boy just happened to be a homophobic jerk. The following rejection was horrendously painful and broke Harry's heart but, at least, its normalcy somewhat comforted him.
And now, about five days before the first Hogsmeade weekend, Harry was going to defy his misfortune by asking his new crush -met at the Quidditch World Cup-, the famously handsome Cedric Diggory, on a date. Quaking little step by little step toward his beloved, the fourth year Gryffindor tried to keep his breath steady while reciting his lines :
"Hullo Cedric, howth awe ya... No, no! That's too shy! Hum... Heeellooo, Cedriiic... Yeah, I got that part down. Now, again but firmer : HELLO CEDRIC-!"
"Uh ? Hey, hello Harry!" Answered the aforenamed boy who was gallivanting nearby. "Fancy seeing you there!"
Surprised by the sudden answer, Harry quacked and hunched in himself. He took a step back, gathered his guts and started his declaration :
"He-h-h-he-"
"So, how are you on this fine day?" Continued the Hufflepuff without listening.
"He-h-h-h-he-hell-"
"Yeah, you're right : the rain is a little hellish, I guess... But with happiness, every day is beautilful!"
"Hu... Hum..." Tried to say Harry.
"Yes?"
As his crush tilted his gorgeous head questioningly, the young Potter knew it was now or never. Without letting himself hesitate more than that, he shouted out :
"W-would you like to go on a date with me this weekend?!"
There, it was out, Harry could finally breath again. Opening an eye, he saw as the older boy abruptly stifffened.
"Uh... Cedric...?"
The hufflepuff's eyelid twitched twice before he suddenly exploded :
"What?! You're gay?!"
"Well, yes." Answered Harry who was starting to have a bad feeling. "Is that a problem?"
"Haha... n-no! It's just, huh... unexpected...? And, ah, I'm not, so... huh..."
"Eh?!" Cried out the Gryffindor. "But I thought..."
"Yeah, nooo..." Insisted Cedric who was starting to sweat profusely. "In fact I, huh..."
Looking around and catching the shoulder of a random Ravenclaw passing by, he exclaimed :
"Look, I have a girlfriend! Hahaha ! Ain't she cute?"
He cooed even as he whispered to the girl :
"Please, whoever you are, help me! I beg you! He'll never leave me alone otherwise!"
"Yeah..." Dubiously confirmed the Ravenclaw in a bland voice. "I'm Cho Chang and I'm totally Cedric Diggory's girlfriend..."
Harry laughed an akward laugh, sorrowfully pretending he didn't hear the whispers :
"Oh... I-It's fine then, hahaha! I-If you have a girlfriend... Haha... ha... I-I'll leave you alone then..."
Picking up the bits of his once again broken heart, the poor boy left with a heavy step. He looked so sad and pitiful that Cho couldn't help leveling murderous glare at Cedric :
"You're a jerk."
"Yeah... Well..." Nodded the Hufflepuff without even trying to defend himself. "Wanna go on a date?"
Raising a scornful brow, Cho contorted her pretty face in a grimace of disgust.
"Please!" Begged the older boy who knew no shame. "Just pretend! At least for a few weeks, n-no a... a few days! We'll say we broke up after a few days!"
"Why...?"
"'Cause what will I do if he finds out I lied?!" Panicked Cedric. "He'll come back, for sure!"
"Not my problem... Jerk."
Hello~! Here I am again, with another story in english! To be honest, I'm just posting this to test the water, see if this story would interest anyone. It's a current Work In Progress, so I'll post one other chapter sometime around next week. After that, I think I'll take my time to write the rest before posting anything.
Anyway, thanks for reading!
