"YEAH! They were kissing! Not kissing, but totally making out!" Hermione and Angelina Johnson giggled as they passed a group of Beauxbatons girls. "Cedric and Ginny? Who would have known?!" Angelina snickered. Hermione nodded. "They were getting mighty cozy in the library, it's no wonder they were kicked out of there!"
Fleur glanced for long periods of time over at Hermione and Angelina, feeling envious and suddenly betrayed. "Zedric and Ginny?" she whispered to her little sister. "I want you to befriend zis Ginny and find out all zeir juicy little zecrets." Gabrielle raised a brow but then nodded and pranced off to the Great Hall, in hopes of finding Ginny.
--------------------------------------------------
"Stop it, Cedric!" Ginny purred as Cedric kept fiddling with her hair, creating messy locks of ginger with every twist.
"I'm sorry, Ginny, but I just love the texture of your hair...it's so soft and silky and...ooh..." He nuzzled her neck. "Your skin is so soft, too..." Ginny smiled. "Not now, Ced, I need to finish this Potions homework..."
Cedric grinned. "Alright, Gins, catch you later," he kissed her cheek. Ginny muttered her goodbye dreamily and was left with a stunned look on her face. "I don't know how I got such a great catch," she was bragging to Seamus Finnigan. Turning his head sideways to draw a diagram of animagus transformation, he nodded, not quite listening to what Ginny was saying. "Oh, come on, Seamus. You said yourself that Cedric is a really great guy!" Ginny rolled up her parchment and slid it into her bag.
Seamus yawned and said something that sounded like jibberish under his breath. Pushing back his hair, he grabbed his things and stood up. "I'm gonna go...tired...night...bye..." He dragged himself slowly out of the Great Hall.
Gabrielle sat down next to Ginny. "Oh my goodnezz, your 'air is le magnifique! Tell me, iz it natural?" Gabrielle smirked and leaned against the table, eyeballing Ginny's hair.
"Oh, thanks, and yes, it is." Ginny looked around for Cedric but then turned her attention back to Gabrielle. "You have some pretty hair as well, you're a veela, right?"
Gabrielle nodded. "Yes, yes, I am, and so iz my zister, Fleur Delacour. My name is Gabrielle Delacour. It's such a pleazure to meet you!" She shook Ginny's hand rather enthusiastically. Ginny smiled, "Ginny Weasley, I have many brothers. It's a pleasure to meet you too!" She looked around and spotted Fred and George linking arms and skipping around the room, singing. "There's two of them."
Gabrielle laughed. "Yes, yes, Fred and George, I 'ave 'eard of them. Zey are ze clowns of ze family, am I right?" Ginny nodded. "Yes, yes, well, they are quite immature. Rather annoying when you live with them. Well, I have to go. It's getting late and I need to work on some more homework. Double Defense Against The Dark Arts is not good at all. I'll see you later," Ginny stood up and brushed herself off. She said her farewells to Gabrielle and walked to the doors.
Gabrielle sighed as she placed both her arms on the table and laid her head on them. Another day, I guess, she thought to herself.
--------------------------------------------------
Cedric met up with Ginny early in the morning the next day by the Forbidden Forest. They embraced in a friendly hug. "I don't think anyone's around so we don't have to keep up this act. Cedric, I think Gabrielle, Fleur's sister, is catching onto us. She came up to me yesterday and created a casual conversation about my hair." Cedric bit his lip. "Well, unless we can convince Gabrielle that we really are going out..."
"What are you saying?" "We have to act more like a couple and less like friends." "And uh, what does that mean? Cedric, you promised that we would never have to engage in kissing with our lips." "No, not that. Maybe we should hold hands or something. You did tell your brothers this is just for show, right?" "Um, yes, Ron wasn't exactly happy. Oh, Harry knows too. And Hermione. Oh, practically everyone I can trust in Gryffindor does."
Cho was watching them talk from the Owlery. "How dare she...doesn't she...ugh! That damn Cedric, he rebounds too quickly!" Cho was clearly upset, eyes filling with tears, her heart beating fast. She turned abruptly and walked towards the Ravenclaw dormitory.
Cedric gulped. "Okay, well, when we see each other, kiss on the cheek, hug, hold hands, and that's it, alright?" Ginny nodded and gave him a small hug. "See you," she blew a kiss flirtily in case someone was watching. Cedric grinned and waved.
