"Cedric, tell me you used protection."
"It wasn't on my mind at the time?" Cedric joked.
"Cedric, no!"
Cedric laughed. "Relax, Ginny. Fleur's on birth control. You know I wouldn't have gone through with it unless she was, or I had a condom, or something of the sort." Ginny nodded, embarrassed. "Oh, right. Well, I will kill you if she turns up pregnant." "I sincerely doubt she
will, Gin," Cedric leaned back into the reclining chair in the library. He had just told Ginny what had happened. Not in detail, of course, but the main things. Ginny was surprised and worried. She loved Cedric as a brother and didn't want him to have to deal with fatherhood at such a young age.
"So, tell me about you and your latest beau, Gin," he grinned, closing the book he was holding. He leaned forward, interested in hearing what she had to say.
Ginny blushed. "Oh, it's nothing, Cedric, you probably don't know him..."
"I know everybody. Just tell me."
"Oh, well, alright then. He's really wonderful and such a cute boy, and I'm really glad I hooked him, the only thing that worries me is that he's in Slytherin and a fourth year, and well, his friends hate me..." His eyes widened. "Slytherin? A fourth year?" Ginny nodded. Cedric shook his head. "No, no, no, no, you can't."
"But, Cedric!" "Ginny, he hates Weasleys! He's using you." "No, he doesn't, he wouldn't have kissed me-" "What? You're much too young for that!" "No, I'm not! You're too young to...to...do what you did with Fleur!" "But her and I are the same age! He's a year older!" "I'm really mature, you know that! You wouldn't have confided in me if you didn't, and Draco said-" "Draco Malfoy?!" "Oh, crap. Er, well, yes, but he's really sweet on the inside-" "I thought he was with Pansy Parkinson. Just wait until Harry hears this!" "But he doesn't have to know-" "Ginny, he will eventually find out...just do what you think is best, alright? Take care, I have to go meet Fleur." Cedric stood up and started towards the door. "But you-" "I have to go, see you later."
----------------------------------------
Fleur jumped into Cedric's arms when she saw him. "I 'ave missed you so much, Zedric!"
Cedric lifted up her chin with his index finger and kissed her tenderly. "It's only been a few hours, beautiful," he smiled as he locked his fingers with hers. "Well, a few 'ours is a lot to me, it is 'ours that we 'ave not spent together," Fleur rested her head on Cedric's chest as they stood there in the evening. It was windy. The moon shone bright upon them; her hair was glistening and flowing freely. Cedric had neglected his hair and it was a mess, but Fleur didn't seem to mind.
Time passed and they were soon laying down cuddling by the lake once again. Wrapped around each other, they were seemingly content.
"Zedric, what do you want to be when you are older?" Fleur asked him, looking up at the star cluttered sky.
Cedric sighed. "I really don't know, Fleur. Whatever will allow me to stay close to you." Fleur smiled. "Zat is sweet." Cedric looked into her eyes and caressed her cheek. "You're sweet.'
He kissed her lightly and returned his gaze to the sky.
"AHA! CAUGHT IN THE ACT!" A yell emitted from just a few yards away.
Cedric and Fleur both sat up abruptly, not knowing who, or where, the outburst came from.
"Damn! Both clothed! Shit, now I can't do anything. Oh, wait, I can! You're out after hours!" Draco Malfoy laughed as he walked from out of the shadows.
Cedric stood and sauntered over to Draco cautiously. "But so are you," he smirked.
Draco grinned, obviously happy. "And that is the beauty of it! Haha! I'm working for Professor Snape. It was his turn to search the grounds for troublemakers such as yourselves, but since he was busy with important things, he appointed yours truly to do his duty." Draco pulled out his wand and shot red sparks out in the sky. "He will be coming shortly. No, wait, YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM ME! EXPELLIARMUS! EXPELLIARMUS!"
Cedric and Fleur were thrown back onto the ground hard. Fleur screamed. "Fleur! Are you alright?" Cedric crawled over to her and picked her up in his arms. "I think I 'ave broken my ankle..." "Oh, no, MALFOY, YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!" Cedric drew out his wand and pointed it at Draco. "STUPEFY!" Draco fell backwards, stunned. Cedric put his wand up and slung Fleur back into his arms. Running to the castle as fast as he could, he looked back occasionally to make sure they weren't being followed. Fleur was crying. "Fleur, it's fine, we'll just get you to the hospital wing, don't cry, please don't, you'll make me cry..."
Fleur put both of her arms around Cedric's neck. "I can't 'elp it, Zedric, it's...ow, ow, pain, ow, painful..."
Cedric eventually got to the hospital wing. "Oh my! A Beauxbatons lady is injured? Well, we just can't have that! Let's see, oh, a broken ankle. I can fix that! Just drink this," Madame Pomfrey handed a small bottle to Fleur. Fleur chugged it down, eager to have no more pain. She gagged. "Zat is dizgusting!" Madame Pomfrey nodded. "Well, it's either this, or a very painful spell, and I suppose you have had enough pain, am I right?" Fleur nodded. "In a few moments, you will be healed, and then you can go. I'm not even going to ask why you two are out late, but I can assure you both I will not tell."
"Thank you so much," Cedric said, holding Fleur's hand. Madame Pomfrey left the room, humming a song. "Are you in pain anymore, Fleur?"Fleur smiled weakly. "Not now, zat you are 'olding my 'and, and comforting me. I love you, Zedric." Fleur's eyes closed quickly."I love you too, Fl-" Cedric stopped. "Fleur? Fleur?" He put his head to her chest. Nothing. "HELP! HELP! HELP! HELPPP!" He ran frantically around the room, looking for something, or someone, anyone. His heart was racing; sweat dripped down his face; and he was breathing heavily. Madame Pomfrey ran out and saw Fleur. "What is it?" Cedric sobbed. "SHE'S NOT BREATHING!"
