As Dumbledore raised the toast the music started and the dances began. Amelia felt euphoric looking around it felt so surreal. She felt Cedric nudge her slightly while she stared around amazed, she turned to him with a smile.
"May I have this dance?" He asked slightly bowing and holding put his hand for her. She had been in a relationship with him almost three months, but at at this she couldnt help but blush hard.
"You may" She said her already rosy cheeks going more pink, she passed her hand in his with a smile.
Cedric smiled softly at her before gently draping an arm around her waist and the other hand held her hand so perfectly. In an instant Cedric swayed them on every note of the music. Him being so tall Amelia had to look with her head really high to meet his eyes.
She couldnt describe the feeling that was arising in her stomach, she wanted the night to go on forever, just feeling perfectly captured in his arms.
"I didnt know you could dance so well" Amelia said to him looking up in his eyes.
"I feel someone is impressed" He said smiling down at her.
They two stayed in each others arms for who knows how long before the music came to a small halt as Dumbledore started introducing a new band he had hired, which would play all kinds of music including muggle too. Muggle music was the only muggle thing Amelia loved.
"How about i get us something to drink?" Cedric asked. Amelia nodded pulling away, she didnt why she was feeling and behaving so different today, different in a good way.
Amelia watched him disappear in the crowd in front of the drinks stand before she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and her face crooked into a wide smile.
"Fred!" She said happily. He smiled back, the small voice in the back of his head screaming continuously how beautiful she looked.
"Can I have a dance?" He asked holding out his hand. Amelia stared at him for a second, thinking about Cedric. But also thinking one dance wouldnt do any harm, she already saddened Fred by declining his request of going to the ball with him, atleast she could have a single dance now, it would be a good sorry.
"You can say no, i wont mind" Fred said chuckling nervously, bringing her out of her trance. Shit Amelia, you idiot, atleast stop making him feel so unwanted and bad.
"No ofcourse, i would dance with you, come" Amelia said immediately causing him to smile brightly. He pulled her to the dance floor, putting his arm on her waist and one in her hand.
Amelia held a friendly smile on her face the whole time while dancing with him. Fred couldnt help but admire all her features.
Suddenly Amelia went stiff for a moment as her eyes fell on her boyfriend who was holding two glasses of drinks and was staring dumbfounded at her dancing with other guy. Amelia felt stuck in the situation.
"Sorry" She mouthed to him with a hopeful sad expression hoping he would understand.
Cedric pursed his lips and then offered her a tight smile nodding in her direction. Amelia felt a heavy weight lifted off her chest. As the song finished Amelia smiled at Fred pulling away.
"You look amazing today Amy" Fred said pulling away with a smile. Amelia smiled back hesitantly looking at him before she could reply an arm draped around her waist from the side.
"Now can I have a few dances too?" Cedric asked smiling at her. Before Amelia could notice Fred left.
"Why are you always so rude to other boys, you jealous twat, he is just a very good friend" Amelia hissed playfully glaring at him.
"Hey I am not jealous, and also he wasn't staring at you like just a friend" Cedric said rolling his eyes. Amelia shook her head before gesturing him to lean down. As he leant down Amelia cupped his face with one hand and pressed her lips on his cheek.
"You dare not ruin the night Cedric Diggory, because i want it to be epic" She said staring at him in the eyes.
"It already is epic" Cedric whispered holding her hand and spinning her around making her chuckle and her dress flow.
"Come lets not starve you" Cedric said pullig her with him to the tables. They both ate a small meal and a had couple of soft drinks.
"Cedric, Come Mr. Barty Crouch wants to have a word with you" Mcgonnacal said coming hastily.
"Is it important" Cedric asked slightly grumpy.
"Yes it is, dont worry you'll be free to come back to Ms. Black in a few minutes" Mcgonnacal said passing Amelia a small smile.
"Go" Amelia said pushing him slightly blushing, He gave her a smiling look and scurried away with Mcgonnacal. Amelia decided to sit while he returned. She watched Draco dance with the beauxbatons girl, George with Angelina, Hermione with Victor and Fred was busy talking to a bunch of girls, Amelia couldnt figure out who was flirting to who, but they clearly were flirting.
"Hello" Amelia heard a quite voice beside her and turned to look Harry sitting there, and a grumpy Ron slouching beside him.
"Hi" Amelia smiled, she was in a way too good mood to be pissed at the chosen one today.
"Where are your dates?" Amelia asked looking at both of them.
"Erm they ditched us" Harry said awkwardly. Amelia snorted.
"Padma even said she became my date because I am friends with Harry" Ron grumpled from beside Harry. Amelia felt bad for the poor boy.
"Its okay Ronald, look there's chicken" Amelia said trying to make him feel good. Ron jerked up going to get chicken.
"You look good" Harry said nervously scratching the back of his head.
"Do i not look good daily?" Amelia asked raising an eyebrow.
"No no thats not what i meant-" Harry tensed.
"Its okay Harold, thanks, this is my mum's dress" Amelia said with a smile. Her eyes fell on his attire, he too looked fine atleast.
"You look fine too but your hair is still messy" Amelia said. Harry ran a hand through his hair in attempt to make it look lesser messy.
"Uh i applied gel but i dont know, Sirius said it would help" Harry said, Amelia jerked her head sharply on the mention of her father.
"He what-?" Amelia asked dquinting her eyes.
"Erm Sirius sent me these clothes and many other things, his choice is nice i guess, thank him on my behalf" Harry said with a small hesitant smile.
"When did he sent you these?" She asked.
"Um the same day ron recieved his robes" Harry replied confused.
"Did you ask for them?" Amelia asked. Harry was growing more and more confused why was she asking all this.
"No, he said he knew there's a yule ball tradition in Triwizard tournament" Harry replied.
Amelia hummed and looked away. Sirius sent Harry the clothes just the same day of announcement of the ball, without even asking him. She didnt want to think it that way but couldnt help it, her father sent his godson everything before he even asked for it, and on the other hand all she received from him was a howler.
"This is outrageous hypocrisy" Amelia yelled standing up startling the boy beside her.
"No nothing sorry" she added quickly and went away slightly embarrassed and suddenly collided with a figure, looking up she saw it was her uncle.
"Sorry Professor" She muttered and was just about to leave before Sev muttered something and left himself.
"Your mother's dress looks good on you"
Amelia found herself smiling in disbelief, did she just daydream or it was real. Did he really just say that. Such a personal compliment from sev, oh lord the sky must be falling down today!
Her eyes fell on Cedric and she ran towards him holding his hand excitedly, he smiled confused at her.
"I am really happy today Ced, lets dance" she said and without wasting a second pulled him to the dance floor.
They both danced for how long no one knows, the band was amazing, it firstly played party songs and then ball songs. Everyone having shots and drinks while dancing. Now it started playing slow songs for couples. Amelia looked up at Cedric and smiled throwing both her arms around his neck, he smiled and draped his both arms around her waist pulling her closer
Both moved slowly along with a few other couples, the music was melody to ears, Amelia's eyes never left his honey brown eyes. She saw his gaze fell on her lips, she slightly blushed knowing what was about to happen.
In an instant he leaned her behind and himself leaned forward to attached their lips. The crowd around them 'oohed' at this. They held the kiss for a while before Cedric detached their lips but still stared at her admiringly keeping her still leaning backwards in his arms.
Amelia stood straight slowly not focussing around her at all, all her focus was on her pretty boy. His hair slightly messy from all the dancing they did. He removed his coat earlier and right now his sleeves were loosely rolled up, his cheeks flushed and his smile slightly slurry because of the drinks.
"You are such a hot mess Ced" Amelia said tipsily. Cedric widened his eyes on her comment blushing hard.
"I want to dance" She mumbled resting her head on his chest, he rested his chin on her head. They still swayed slowly on the slow background music.
"Are you tired?" He asked rubbing her back gently in order to keep her awake. He felt her nod against his chest.
"Then we should leave" He said pulling away slightly, Amelia pouted not happy with the decision.
"But i want to be with you" She grumpled. He chuckled before scooping her up in his arms in bridal style making her squeal.
"Who said you'll not be with me?" He asked grinning at her leading outside holding her still in his arms. Amelia didnt pay much attention, with her head rested on his shoulder she let him take her anywhere. She closed her eyes inhaling his honey scent with a smile, she could feel he was climbing so many stairs. She hummed a song which played tonight against his neck making him chuckle.
"You are making fun of me" she grumpled in his neck. After a few moments of climbing so many stairs Cedric came to a halt, Amelia opened her eyes as they finally stopped, not knowing where he brought her, although the familiar yellow walls reminded her something.
"Where are we?" She asked looking at him still in his arms.
"My dorm" Cedric replied before opening the door and leading themselves in, making Amelia's breath hitch. He brought her to his dorm, at 2 in night, alone! He was a head boy so he had his personal dorm.
"Dont worry we will just sleep" He said softly setting her on her feet. Amelia gulped slightly embarrassed on how he could read her face so well. She felt bad is she made him feel like a creep.
"Sorry, but what will i wear" She asked in a small voice. He sighed smiling and pulled her to sit on the bed and gently removed her heals setting them aside.
"Wait" He said standing up and going towards his wardrobe and bringing out his long shirt.
"It comfy" He said passing her the shirt.
"You can change first in the bathroom" He said taking her towards the bathroom, she smiled entering and closing the door. After a few minutes Cedric heard her call from inside. He was outside changing himself and was right now shirtless.
"What happened?" He called softly from outside. He saw the door opening a bit and went forward, Amelia peeked from it.
"My dress um its not um opening" She said looking down her face red as he was shirtless. He smiled and entered in the bathroom, Amelia turned around inhaling deeply looking down.
His hand firstly went to her hair removing the hair accessory gently making sure not to pull any hair by mistake. Then she felt his warm hands remove her hair from her back arising shivers down her spine. He slowly started untying the strings, on his every touch Amelia gasped under her breath. He reached to untie the last string on her lower back, and as it was untied Amelia inhaled relieved.
She looked up in the mirror to see he was already looking at her. She saw his reflection move towards her and felt his bare body touch her back, he rested his chin on her head and wrapped arms in front of her stomach. Amelia blushed and looked down.
"You look so beautiful" he mumbled looking at her in the mirror. She felt him kiss the back of her head and with that he left the bathroom. She quickly changed into the shirt he gave her and stepped outside shyly, the shirt reached her mid thighs, and also she was not wearing a bra because of the dress.
She looked up to see he was keeping her shoes in the side of the room and was folding his clothes from today. She smiled going forward.
"You can sleep on the bed, i will sleep on the floor" He said softly turning to her and brushing her hair out of her face.
"Are you serious? Its december, its freezing Cedric, you will sleep in the bed with me" She said dismissively. She saw he was a bit hesitant, she exhaled looking at him and held his hand.
"Dont worry, shut up and sleep come on" She said pulling him on the bed with herself.
"First of all, why arent you wearing a shirt, do you want to freeze?" She asked looking at him.
"I always sleep without a shirt, dont worry i will wear it-" He said standing up to grab a shirt but Amelia stopped him by holding his hand.
"I didnt say that you should wear it" She said her cheeks going red. Cedric raising an eyebrow at her slightly blushing himself and then turned toff the lights laying down facing her pulling the covers over them.
"Did I even tell you how beautiful you looked today?" She heard his voice in the darkout room.
"You told me that atleast fifty times and you are still saying that" She said.
"I cant help it" He said, she could sense he was grinning. She chuckled and shifted towards him putting an arm around him and snuggling in his chest.
"I cant help it either" She mumbled against his chest, sending vibrations in his skin. He too wasted no time in wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her more into him.
"Good night beautiful"
"Good night flirt"
"Hey! I am being genuine"
"Oh shut up let me sleep"
"If you tighten you arms more, i'll surely be found dead by morning"
"Okay then piss off"
"Hey come back you were warm"
"More like hot"
"Can say"
"You know when you were gone a girl from our school was saying you are very sexy"
"Dont tell me you punched her or something"
"I didnt punch her... Just threw hot soup in her hair"
"I knew it I saw the girl running and crying out of the hall"
"It was her fault"
"She just said the truth didnt she?"
"Umm.. nope"
"What did you just say!"
"Oww get off me i cant breath"
"Stop being dramatic and come here"
"Mr. Diggory where is your mouth going?"
"Dunno"
"Hey you just chewed your shirt"
"Shut up"
