15minuteficlets have a new word - #135, so of course I took up the challenge and began writing immediately.
Unfortunately I had written a lot, when my mum accidentally tripped the switch and the computer turned off and I hadn't saved it. So after a few (silly) tears I wrote something even better.
Thanks to
dannydisco for reading this first and seeing if the lyrics actually fit LOL... I'm still a little worried. ;)

THE PERFECT KISS

hazy_crazy When you are alone at night
You search yourself for all the things
That you believe are right
“You scared, Granger?”
Cedric Diggory laid his head in Hermione Granger’s lap as they sat underneath a shady tree, wishing the Tournament would be over soon. Hermione was playing with his dark wavy locks whilst Cedric closed his eyes in comfort.
“Yes I am… and for Harry, too. People… have died in this Tournament,”
“I know,” Cedric said quietly.
“I just...” Hermione couldn’t bring herself to say it. “I just don’t want you to… come out hurt, or not come out at all.” She muttered the last sentence.
Cedric opened his eyes at her remark, his solemn grey eyes gazing into her worried caramel ones.
If you give it all away
You throw away your only chance to be here today
Then a fight breaks out on your street
“Granger, I appreciate your concern, but I’ve prepared for this. And no matter what happens in that task, I’ll make sure I get back to you - even if I’m missing an arm or a leg.” Cedric grinned at Hermione’s expression, and then sat up and crossed his legs.
“Oh Cedric,” Hermione whispered, throwing herself into his arms, “please be alright, and please make sure Harry is alright.”
“I will,” Cedric promised however unsure he was. He squeezed her gently before ending their embrace.
“You know I love you, don’t you?” Hermione said seriously, taking her hands in his.
Cedric nodded. “And I love you, Hermione,” he whispered before kissing her lips softly.
You lose another broken heart in a land of meat
My friend, he took his final breath
Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death

“The Perfect Kiss”.
I hope you enjoyed it... I'm worried about the lyrics, mostly!
