Sitting in the Great hall for breakfast was a struggle. Your head was pounding from a migraine and your stomach felt like it was slowly disintegrating from drinking acid.
Thats what day 2 of your period feels like and its not even after your first class.
”And then I stuck my arm out and my fingers wrapped around the snitch.” Cedric finishes as the group of people at are table all were staring at him intently.
Margret one of his bigger groupies sighed before egging him on to talk more about quidditch.
”That was so impressive Ceddie what’d it feel like when everyone was looking at you.”
You groan internally at the stupid nicknames that they gave to Cedric.
Then proceeded to zone out as you attempt to take a bite of a muffin before gagging.
Cedric looks at you concerned. “Feeling okay?” He asks leaning towards you ignoring his fangirls.
”Just girl stuff.”
”You look really pale, like more so than usual.”
You hit his shoulder. “I’m not that pale” you grumble folding your hands over your stomach.
Cedric grabs his shoulder and fakes being in pain. “Wow I see how it is Y/N you don’t care for your best-friend.”
You sigh having wanted to be more than friends since 3rd year where he ran right into you making you drop your Herbology project.
You guys had hit it off almost immediately after he helped you clean up the mess and repot your plant.
Now you were close friends in-fact many would say you act as if in a relationship but you thought he would never see you as that. With all these girls drooling all over Cedric it was a surprise he didn’t have a new girl on his arm every-week, but Cedric wasn’t like that he hasn’t been on any dates that you know of the entire time you’ve been friends. He has more than a fair share of ladies to choose from if he wanted, yet he never did.
It didn’t shock you the amount of dirty looks shot your way when walking with him in the halls. After all he’s popular and has only grown in popularity after winning the triwizard tournament and surviving being attacked by Voldemort.
“Ced.” You mumble.
“Yes?”
”I’m going to start going to Divination I can meet you there.”
”Okay see you then.”
You go to stand up and your vision blurs and the last thing you remember is Cedric’s voice and then it all went black.
The voices sound like you’re underwater.
”Y/N please be okay”
Cedric
”C’mon please wake up.”
I’m trying Cedric I swear I’m trying
”Please don’t die on me”
”Oh my god Cedric you’re being ridiculous Y/N isn’t going to die. She just passed out.” A new voice says.
”Yeah… but like what if she hit her head really har-”
”Cedric she never even touched the floor you caught her before her knees even buckled.”
Rose.
Your dorm mate and closest girl-friend is here too.
You feel a light squeeze on your hand and you give a small squeeze back.
”She squeezed my hand”
Rose huffs at him before flicking your forehead.
Your eyes fly open before squinting them again at the light.
”You’re alive” Cedric states his grey eyes taking in your face.
”No shit she never even stopped breathing.” Rose retorts smacking him upside the head.
Cedric gasps rubbing his head where she smacked him.
You grin at Rose before asking “what happened?”
”Well y-“ Cedric starts before Rose cuts him off.
”You are not good at explaining this so I’m going to do it.” Cedric grumbles again but stays quiet while Rose explains.
”Basically you passed out when you stood up because A) Period stuff or B) You haven’t eaten enough.” she explains
”Probably option two I skipped lunch and dinner last night because I wasn’t feeling too good.” You say leaning back into the pillow.
Cedric is staring at you his eyes mixed with emotions.
Rose stands up announcing that “at least one of us has to make it to Divination.”
”I disagree with that everything that goes on that paper is made up crap.” Cedric says and you nod in agreement.
Rose walks out and now it’s just you and Cedric.
”I was worried when you just passed out you know.” Cedric mumbles giving your hand another squeeze as if to remind himself you’re right there.
”Awww were you scared.” You tease.
His eyes get more serious. “It’s not a joke. I was really worried about you. A-after last year I can’t stand not being without you.”
You sigh rubbing your thumb on his hand. “I’m sorry love I didn’t mean to make fun of your fears. I know how hard last year was for you.”
”I just don’t know what I would do without you.” He takes a deep breath seeming as if contemplating telling you something.
”What is it?” You say softly.
”For a long time now I’ve been seeing you as someone I could tell anything too. Someone I could really be myself with.” He bring your knuckles to his lips pressing a featherlight kiss against them making you blush.
“And when you passed out I-I realized how much you mean to me a-and” he takes another breath “I was wondering if you’d go to Hogsmead with me? As more than friends”
Your face breaks out into a huge grin.
”I thought you’d never ask.”
