no, stupid grrrrrrrring aol cut me off

*** The end of Term ***

Hermione sat on the Astronomy Tower window ledge, watching the beautiful, sunrise scenery, waiting for Cedric to come back with breakfast from the Great Hall.

He insisted on going on his own. She had been in such deep thought and lost in the amazing horizon before her, she hadn't niticed Cedric stumbling back up to her.

"Are ... you ... alright ..." he said between pauses, trying to sort his words. Seeing her jump in surpirse, he had to rush over to her and take her in his arms.

"Yeah, I'm fine. How's your walking and talking coming?"

"Ok, I am still trying though." he said, pressing his forehead gently against hers.

Cho Chang had taken her unknown timing to enter the Astronomy Tower with Ronald Weasley, giggling like crazy. Upon seeing Cedric and Hermione, she shoved Ron into hiding. She glared at the couple.

"Cedric! What are you doing with ... with HER!?" she asked, shooting Hermione with a look of daggers.

"I think we were talking, Chang!" Hermione spat her name out as though it were an unwilled act for her to do so. "And if you loved Cedric, you wouldn't bad mouth him behind his back because he was disabled!!" she shouted, then jumped from the ledge to the stone floor. She pulled Cedric to their Comon Room.

"Sh-she talked about me? More than that time she found out I overheard her the first time?" he asked, positively shellshocked.

"Yes, Cedric. I'm sorry but she has." she said, moving to hold him, but he moved back away from her, as though disgusted by her touch.

"How come you didn't tell me?!" he asked.

"I didn't want to worry you or hurt you." she said.

"Get out. Leave!" he said and pushed her out.

Tears welled up in her eyes. He hadn't treated her that way before. Not caring where her feet took her anymore, she started walking. She entered the Forbidden Forest afer wandering aimlessly around the grounds.

Back in the Common Room, Cedric began to feel guilty about what he had done, and decided to go after her.

"Harry, have you seen Hermione?" he asked as he came across him.

Harry nodded, saying, "She walked past me, crying. If she's not in the library, I don't know where she is."

Cedric walked to the library, only to discover she wasn't there. Worrying, Cedric looked all over the school, stumbling along the way. He didn't think she was stupid enough to go into the forbidden forest, so he decided not to check it, but he still found no sign of her after an hour of searching.

He walked to the Hospital Wing, not knowing or caring where he went. There he saw Hagrid, Ron and Harry sitting next to an unconscious, bruised and cut up girl.

"Who is that?" Cedric asked, in fear that it was the one he love so dearly.

" 'Ermione." Hagrid said.

Cedric's heart sank, and took no hesitation in taking a place next to Hermione and taking her hand in his own.

omdz wats happend=ed 2 mione? pams

that was awsome...... butt hurry up w/ the next post PLEASE!!! i want to know what happend

ahh I <3 ur story so PAMS!!!!

"What happened to her?" he asked Hagrid.

"Pack of wild centaur attacked 'er. It's lucky that Fang had gone chasing a puffskein into the forest." Hagrid told the Hufflepuff. "Fang saw her lying slumped against a tree 'n barked for me to see what he found."

"What happened between you and her?" ron asked.

"We had an arguement over Cho badmouthing me behind my back more than that 1st time I heard her. I didn't mean to be so horrible to Hermione." Cedric said, his head bowed in guilt.

Minutes later, Hermione awoke. Pain seared through her like hot knives.

Madame Pomfrey who had been bustling over Neville ( he had his legs put in a leg locker curse) saw Hermione awake.

"Drink this." she said immediately as she got to the Gryffindor's bedside.

Hermione obeyed. The taste of the murky yellow/green potion was like drinking mud. She thankfully took the bottle of water that Harry handed to her and downed half of it, to rid the tase of the potion.

"Has the pepper-up potion worked?" the matron asked Hermione.

Nodding, she turned her head in the direction of Cedric.

"Cedric? I thought you hated me?" Hermione whispered.

"I'm so sorry Hermione." he told her and held her tight. "I could never hate you. Anyone who does, doesn't know you at all. Because there's nothing to hate about you."

The trio, Cedric and Hagrid made their way to the entrace Hall, into the large gaggle of students.

"Are yeh good to go?" Hagrid asked, handing Hermione & Cedric their pocket-sized trunks. Harry and Ron already shrunk theirs. The two thankfully took them, Harry scooping Hermione into his arms as though she couldn't walk, Ron supporting Cedric's weight when needed, they all made their way with the students of Hogwarts to the Hogwarts Express for their journey back home.

Chapter 6: Say it in a little prayer

On the train ride home, Harry, Ron & Cedric challenged each other to a game of Exploding Snap on the floor whilst Hermione and Ginny talked on the chairs.

"Do you fancy Cedric or something, Hermione? it's just the way you look at it and everything." Without realising it, Ginny had dropped the bombshell on her bookworm friend.

Four pairs of eyes faced Hermione, as the boys stopped playing, waiting for her to answer.

"Erm ... I ... w-well ..." she stammered.

Cedric took pity on her. He got to his feet and gently brushed his lips across her own. It wasn't a proper kiss, but the others saw it in a different light.

"Kiss her properly, Ced." Ginny said, and at that time, Draco saw fit to walk in.

"If any of you don't mind, I'd like a talk with the red-haired woman of my love life, that woman being Ginny. And, Diggory, you can do better. Don't kiss that filthy Mudblood." he drawled as Ginny walked out the compartment with him, giving him a look that would kill.

"Stupid imbicile." Ron and Cedric muttered, Harry and Hermione looked at each other and rolled their eyes, smiling.


Hermione lent over to Cedric who had sat on the floor for another game with Harry and Ron, and she kissed him.

Jealousy welled up in the pit of Harry's stomach as the pair kissed. Seeing Hermione pull away from Cedric for air, he wanted to hex the Hufflepuff into oblivion.

"Hermione, could I have a word, in private?" Cedric asked.

"Yes of course." she said, grinning.

Walking into the next compartment, Cedric kissed her gently on the mouth.

Pulling away, Hermione whispered, "Wait." She manuvered from her position and closed the blinds on the windows and the door, then whispered "Silencio." and settled herself back in Cedric's arms.

Nothing was heard from the two teens for the next hour or two.

**in the boy's compartment**

"Maybe we should go find them. They've been gone for nearly an hour and a half." Ron said.

Harry nodded. "We should be almost home now so they can't really disappear for long." he said.

Harry and Ron set out to find Hermione & Cedric.

Hermione had forgotten to lock the door & their compartment was the third one to be checked.

Ron yelled at the sight he saw before him, whilst Harry tried to be the decent one and tried pulling Ron out and closing the door.
