Hermione Granger had used Avis on Ronald Weasley, for being a stubborn git, when she found out that he was dating Lavender Brown. Sighing, she placed her books in her bag when her subconscious drew her from her thoughts with a weird sensation. Looking around, she jumped when she noticed someone standing over her.
“Granger, here let me help you,” Cedric Diggory softly spoke as he bent down to help pick her books up. Hermione smiled at him in return.
“Thank you Diggory, but you may call me Hermione,” she replied as she stared into his grey eyes.
“Hermione, I am Cedric,” he smirked while watching her laugh.
“You should be kissed often, and by someone who knows how,” Cedric lightly offered his hand to her.
“And do you know someone like that?” She accepted his offer, placing her hand in his.
Cedric’s amused expression convinced her that he would be willing to show her. “Show me, Cedric, please.”
He tilted Hermione’s chin and stared into her warm brown eyes before he kissed her sweetly. He felt her arms wrap around his shoulders, as she leaned in close to him. They kissed some more, and she felt his arms wrapped around her body pulling her even closer.
“Please let this not be a dream,” she whispered into his ear as she felt him pepper feathery kisses along her neck.
His arms moved up and down her back as his voice rumbled, “How real do you want this to be?”
She had her hands in his hair threading through his silky locks hearing him sigh softly.
Cedric felt Hermione rocking back and forth on her feet, “Hermione, are you that anxious to go somewhere or do you just want to…” his voice trailed off as he felt her tug his hand.
“Alright, my chambers are quiet enough we can continue snogging,” Cedric smirked at her again as he wrapped an arm around her waist and guided her through the halls.
“I have never been inside Hufflepuff chambers before, and I like it!” Hermione exclaimed seeing how warm and inviting the room was with a whole wall dedicated to books alone.
“I knew you would appreciate it, Hermione!” Cedric said smugly and steered her towards his bedchamber.
“Now, I thought you just wanted to snog…” Hermione’s voice trailed off as he kissed her breathless. Holding her firmly against his body, he felt her muscles completely relax. He broke off the kiss to see how she was fairing.
Hermione’s cheeks were flushed and she stared mesmerized into his grey eyes. “Wow!”
“Just a wow? Challenge accepted, Hermione!” Cedric frowned and he bent her backwards to kiss her deeply, intent on making her swoon. “There are different ways to kiss, Hermione, and I want you to experience them with all of me!”
She blinked as if she was in a dream. When she opened her eyes...she was asleep in her own bed, with no Cedric in sight. She huffed in frustration as she realized that the date circled on her calendar was the Summer Solstice.
Hermione turned over in her bed, finding the place next to her empty as she placed her hands on the cool sheets. If only he were here and not a dream! I do miss him. She thought sadly, wishing that he was still here to join in the festivities later.
