Disclaimer: I own nothing except my character Kinsie.
Summary: After getting her heart broken when her crush Oliver Wood starts dating her friend Katie, Kinsie begins to spend time with Cedric Diggory. She begins to think that maybe Oliver was the wrong guy for her all along. A Potions assignment brings Kinsie and Cedric closer and the closer they get the angrier Oliver gets. Much better than it sounds.
This is my first Cedric Diggory story, I've been working on it for a while so I hope you like it.
Kinsie, short for Mackenzie, Lewis, gazed at her reflection in the mirror and sighed. She wasn't pretty and she knew it. Guys were not looking at her like they were her friends. She wasn't fat, that much she knew, she guessed her hair was the wrong color. It was brown and she hated it. The only thing she liked was her eyes. They were a dazzling emerald green, her best feature by far. She was 16 years old now and had never had a boyfriend and never been kissed. No guys even looked her way, not even Marcus Flint. Not that she wanted him looking her way, but still it would be nice to be noticed, she let out another sigh. She looked at herself once more in the mirror. She had on a pair of jeans and a top that said Diets Suck; she threw a sweatshirt on over it. Her hair, which was naturally curly, but not overly curly, it was more wavy, it was up in a ponytail, the way she always wore it. At least in a few hours she would be on the Hogwarts Express to go to Hogwarts. She always loved to go back to school, she could play quidditch when she was at school, and she was good at Quidditch. She was in Gryffindor and was put on the team last year when Alicia's parents decided grades came first. Apparently Alicia was falling behind. She had made friends with Angelina and Katie when she joined the team, she was even friends with Alicia who didn't seem to mind Kinsie taking her spot on the team. Fred and George always managed to make her laugh and Harry was adorable, he was such a cute kid. Then there was Oliver, the captain. How do you describe Oliver, well he's talented, handsome and smart and she doubted he would even know her name if she wasn't on the quidditch team. She let out another sigh.
"Well this is as good as it gets" she said and went downstairs to get ready to go catch the train.
Once on the train she took a compartment with Katie, Angelina and Alicia. Fred and George soon came barreling in behind them.
"So anyone do anything interesting this summer?" Katie asked "Besides cause trouble" she added looking at Fred and George. "Kinsie"
"No, I was at home all summer"
"Surprise, Surprise" Katie said sarcastically
"Kinsie you need to do two things" Angelina said "One, get over Oliver Wood and two add some excitement to your life"
"I could help you with both" Fred offered smiling mischievously and raising his eyebrows.
"No you don't. You'll get her in trouble" Alicia said "She needs to find someone else"
"How about that Ravenclaw, Trent" Katie suggested
"Loser" Fred said
"Moron" George added "She can do better"
"What about that guy, he's in our year in Gryffindor. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Michael" Angelina said
"He's dating a Ravenclaw" Fred said
"Oh" Alicia sighed
"Hey I know the perfect guy for you" Katie said smiling. "He's cute, sweet, and such a nice guy. He's in Hufflepuff"
"Who?" Angelina and Alicia asked excited
"Cedric Diggory" Katie said impressed she thought of it. Angelina and Alicia smiled.
"Diggory, pretty boy Diggory" George said
"He's perfect for you Kinsie" Angelina said ignoring George.
"Don't I have a say in this?" Kinsie asked
"Of course, what do you think?" Katie asked
"Well I don't know him at all. I've had a class or two with him, but I've never really talked to him."
"Oh I know him, I'll fix you two up" Katie said
"No you don't have to do that" Kinsie said "Don't go to any trouble" she added as the door slid open, it was Oliver
"Hello everyone" he said
"Hi Oliver" they chorused
"Katie can I talk to you a minute alone?" Oliver asked
"Sure" Katie said and she got up and left.
"So what is it?"
"Katie I like you" Oliver said
"I like you to Oliver"
"Will you just let me do this before I loose my nerve."
"Ok go ahead" Katie said smiling.
"Katie I was just…would you be my girlfriend?" Oliver asked
"What?" she said shocked as if she didn't hear him right.
"I like you and I want you to be my girlfriend" Oliver repeated "So will you?"
"Yes" Katie said and smiled and Oliver smiled back and kissed her.
Katie returned a few minutes later with a smile on her face but then she looked at Kinsie and it disappeared.
"Kinsie can we talk alone?" Katie asked and Kinsie nodded and followed her out.
"Kinsie I know no other way to say this but just to say it"
"What is it?"
"Oliver asked me to be his girlfriend just now"
"Oh he did" Kinsie said "And what did you say?"
"I said yes"
"Oh" Kinsie said fighting back tears.
"Are you ok with this because if your not I'll tell Oliver we can't date"
"Its fine. Oliver's never going to notice me so I hope it works out for you two" Kinsie said giving Katie a fake smile.
"Thank you, I didn't want to tell Oliver I couldn't be his girlfriend" Katie said hugging Kinsie.
"Its ok" Kinsie said and Katie went to go back in the compartment.
"You coming?" she asked
"In a minute, I'm going to find the Trolley and stuff" Kinsie said and Katie nodded and went inside. Kinsie walked a few feet before the tears fell, she couldn't stop them. She put her hands over her face and continued to cry.
Well that's the first chapter, Cedric will be in the next chapter.
