"What were you thinking?" Hermione whispered trying to hide her laugh as both walked side by side following Mr. Weasley.
"I wanted to surprise you!" he whispered back, a small pout on his lips as he looked at his scraped hands. Sure it had seemed as a good idea at the time, to jump from a tree when he saw them…but he wasn't expecting the small rocks that incrusted into his hands.
Hermione giggled softly, looking over her shoulder to see a Cedric's dad talking with Harry. Cedric saw her look around from the corner of his eye as he looked forward only to see the Weasleys who still looked half asleep. With a smirk on his face he slowly moved his hand to intercept hers as she moved them as they walked. She smiled as he entwined their fingers, but tried to look as if it was nothing.
"How did you know I was going to come?" She asked him after a while.
He smiled, his gray eyes shinning his amusement. "You told me you were going to the Weasley's…remember?"
She rolled her eyes, thing that made him chuckle. She stole a glance at him and couldn't help but wonder, why was he with her?
"Come on Hermione" he pulled at her when she slowed down as they started to climb up the hill. It seemed like after all, the book worm was able to actually get a intelligent boy to realize who she was, in times like this when he turn to look at her she thanked Merlin to be more mature than the usual fourteen years old girl.
She rolled her eyes as he started babbling about the world cup, after all even if he was smart and was actually able to have an intelligent conversation, he still was a Quidditch fanatic. "So we are cheering for whom?" she asked him still in their low voices.
"Ireland" he nodded as he said this "Bulgaria is good…but I don't like their seeker" he said making a face of disgust "He's just so…" he shrugged not knowing why he couldn't put his thoughts into words about the young star.
Hermione giggled and dropped his hand as they got closer to where the rest of the Weasley family was standing. Hermione walked up to stand next to Ginny as Cedric waited for his dad. As they waited for the moment where they had to touch the portkey they looked at each other, so close and so apart at the same time.
Cedric winked at her making her smile even more, it were times like this when she wanted to thank Ron for fighting with her last year. If it hadn't been because of that she would have gotten to know him, and even if her friends told her otherwise…the library seemed a good place to meet people more so if that people were studying like crazy for the OWLS and needed the same book you were reading at the time.
As they put their hands on the old boot, Hermione couldn't help but chuckle as she felt his bigger hand rest partially on hers. She looked up at him as she felt the tug on her navel utter content on her face.
After all who wouldn't be happy if she was going to be around her boyfriend outside school? Well if she still had a boyfriend after she finished with him for not telling her when to let go to prevent hitting the ground hard.
