Over the summer… You cut your hair. Learned how to dress in clothes that actually fit. Started taking care of yourself. Gained confidence.

Cedric Diggory, your absolute best friend, is very clingy. He's always hugging you goodbye, coming to your private dorm on a night saying he misses you and never leaving your side.

When he comes into your dorm, he always kisses your neck and jaw but you always just thought it was him being him since he always does it. He secretly likes you, never mentioned it. You have two whole weeks to spend at school in the common room or dorms without having classes and he chooses to stay in your dorm with you the whole time. Your dorm is charmed to only let you and him in. He teases you, rolling over you,pinning you to the bed and kisses your lips softly if he doesn't get his way but you've always just seen it as a friendly gesture since he's always done it.
