Okies, here is a looonnnggg post for y'all!

I couldn’t feel anything, and yet I was aware that I was engulfed. Everything was black. My mind was devoid of all thoughts, except that I remembered Dumbledore’s words, which told me and several others what to expect. Then I felt something. Someone grabbing my waist. Thrusting me upward.

My head broke the surface of the water. Coughing and sputtering, my head jerked around. The arm was still around my waist. Cedric was beside me, drenched. “You all right?” he asked with a bit of concern.

“Oh, yeah, I’m fine. Thanks for saving me.” I beamed at him and he grinned back.

Catching my friends’ eyes, who were watching us intently, I gave a little wave before Ced and I paddled to the dock set up for the Triwizard champions and their “treasures.” I could hear Hogwarts students cheering.

Ced pulled me up onto the dock, gathering me into his arms after he noticed that I was shivering. I closed my eyes as my teeth chattered, enjoying the warmth of his wet body against mine and hearing his heart beating in my ear.

A professor handed him two towels and Cedric draped one over me snugly before he threw on his own.

“You did a great job; I’m so proud of you!” I whispered to him, smiling. “First place for sure.” I gave him a kiss on the cheek, making sure it was quick (I didn’t want him getting any second thoughts).

Viktor and Harry soon followed with their “treasures.” I was rather impressed that Harry had both Ron and a pretty blonde girl. My eyes flicked over to the edge of the dock, where Fleur Delacour had suddenly stood up when she caught sight of her sister, I assumed.

When the commentator announced that Ced, my Cedric, was in first place, my heart leapt. “I knew it!” I exclaimed, throwing my arms around him in a fierce hug.

I could feel the vibrations of his laughter ripple through my body as he wrapped his arms around me. It was the best feeling in the world.

Shortly after the crowd of onlookers had dissipated from the stands, Ced turned to me and smoothed back my soaked hair. “You’re so amazing,” he sighed with a priceless Cedric-smile.

I couldn’t believe how he still cared about me so much, even after the little escapade of our first kiss. It was then that I realized his heart was true and pure, more than I could ever ask for. “No, you’re the one who’s amazing,” I said, face upturned.

Ced just did that humble chuckle of his and pulled me against his chest again. My towel slid to the floor and I bent to pick it up, but his arms prevented me. “We can just share a towel,” he stated in a low voice.

Covering us both with his towel, he started to talk again. “You know that one day? The first day we kissed?”

I nodded, hoping that what he was about to say wasn’t bad. I squeezed my eyes shut.

“I realized that you’re one of the most special people in my life, and that’s why Dumbledore chose you to be the treasure that I had to retrieve.” Ced breathed in again, hen continued. “And I want to give you more, Cho. I want you to be happy.”

“But I am, Ced,” I whispered, eyes opening a bit. I still clung to his body tightly. “Exceedingly happy.”

His hands tenderly swiveled my body so that I couldn’t help but look straight into his eyes as he spoke to me. He glanced at my drenched, white uniform shirt and rubbed the towel over my arms harder so that I’d remain warm.

Bending down (he had to bend quite a ways), he kissed me gently. I reached up and brushed my hands through his hair, feeling the wet strands.

I could feel his muscles rippling underneath his shirt as my hands grazed for the nape of his neck. I kissed his warm mouth even more passionately than last time and to my pleasure, he returned it with equal, if not more, zeal.

Slowly, his fingers traced down my sides. His touch sent a feeling like fire on its way. My flesh tingled gratifyingly. Ced rocked me back and forth in an unhurried dance across the dock, making me feel like the queen of the world.
