Cedric

HARRY PULLED OFF THE INVISIBILITY Cloak as he approached the solid-looking door in the middle of the dark, deserted hallway. Harry checked the Marauder's Map in the light from his wand one last time to ensure no one was heading his way before he folded the map up, whispering "nox!" And "mischief managed!" Next he turned to the door and murmured "Pine Fresh" in a hushed undertone. The door creaked open, flooding the dark hallway with warm, white light, and Harry dashed inside, hitching a large, "Harry?" . Cedric?!" Harry gasped and then swore silently. Of course Diggory had to be here! The extremely handsome 7th hear Hufflepuff had been a thorn in Harry's side for ages. Not that the boy had ever wronged Harry, but other students reactions to him lined up against Harry had been enough to dredge up some unfriendly feelings in Harry, especially since Cedric had been announced as the first Hogwarts champion in the Triwizard Tournament. . when Harry realized that all the champions besides Cedric knew that the First Task involved fighting a dragon, he couldn't help but tell the older boy what to expect come November the 24th. And Cedric had returned the kindness by telling Harry to take a bath with the golden egg he had won from his dragon in the Prefect's bathroom. Harry had let his bitter feelings surrounding the other boy prevent him from acting on Cedric's "advice" for weeks after Diggory had given it. Spring had begun and Harry, finally feeling the pressure of the looming second task, had given in at last and brought his egg to the Prefect's bathroom well past midnight. Only he hadn't expected Cedric or anyone to be in here this late! Quite the opposite, Harry had left Gryffindor Tower when he had in an attempt to avoid running into any of the Prefects. Cedric was still staring at Harry, left eyebrow raised and awaiting a response. When Harry gave none Cedric took matters into his own hands. cedric would come to invite harry into the pool sized bath (both gay clos)
