Hey guys, welcome back to my Hidden series. If truth be told I have had this story sitting idle for a couple of years now. But I couldn't do anything with it as I hadn't finished Hidden Tendencies; also don't worry this is only a little story compared to Hidden Tendencies. It's just part of my Cedric and Hermione series that I wanted to share with you. Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.
"Someone's keen" I heard a voice say. I turned my head and I noticed that a large smirk spread across Ginny's face.
I couldn't help but smile at her; she had always wound me up when it came to Cedric. Especially when it was getting close for me spending time with him; and I didn't think she was ever going to stop being like an annoying little sister to me.
I sighed as my I let my mind return back to my train of thought; I knew things were going to change when I went back to school without him. The last year at Hogwarts had been so perfect; yes we had that horrible woman Umbridge trying to rule the school; and there was that frightful business at the Ministry. But I was just glad that we had all managed to get through it best way we could. Harry was currently upstairs with Ron; since getting back from the Ministry Harry had been very quiet. Which was very understandable; he had just lost Sirius. We all had a service for him so we could all say goodbye properly; I do believe that this helped all Sirius's friends and family but he was going to be a great miss to us all.
This also made me worry about Cedric; he was going to join his father in the department of the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Yes I knew that Cedric could handle himself; I just didn't like the fact that anything could happen to him. There were rumours that the Ministry had spies in it; and it would break my heart if anything was to happen to Cedric.
"Gin behave" I stated as I looked back out of the window.
"What?" she asked innocently which made me look back at her.
"You only saw Cedric two weeks ago" she reminded me.
"Two weeks too long if you ask me" I groaned as I started to think about seeing Cedric at my parents at the start of the summer holidays.
"And does it really count if my parents were there?" I asked as I pursed my lips together. Yes me and Cedric weren't going to be all over each other in front of my parents; I just think that we had gotten used to spending time on our own. We had been a couple just over a year and a half now; and I couldn't wait to see him before I went back to Hogwarts.
"Well that depends really" she teased.
"On what?" I asked innocently.
"What you were doing?" she joked as she playfully shoved me.
"Ginny!" I exclaimed.
"What?" she shrugged.
"Do you always have to wind me up about that?" I whined as I nervously brushed some loose and very bushy hair behind my right ear.
"Yes; because that is what best friends do" she said as she wrapped her left arm around my shoulders.
"Especially after catching you two making out last year" she smirked.
"You two really don't care who knows about you now" she chuckled as she tightened her left arm around me.
"Nope" I smiled and I started to get lost in the memory of Harry, Ginny and Ron catching me and Cedric on one of our dates.
*Flashback*
"I have missed you so much" I smiled meekly as I snuggled into Cedric's chest. We were currently sitting on a dark, dusky yellow picnic blanket by the Black Lake. We hadn't seen each other for nearly a week; but this was due to Cedric revisiting for his N.E.W.T.S. and I was revising for my O.W.L.S. I wouldn't expect any different as these exams were very important – we just didn't like to be apart from each other for very long.
"Me too" he answered and we smiled warmly at each other.
"I wish I could have seen you more" he pouted as I felt his right hand start to slowly stroke the bottom of my back.
"Cedric your N.E.W.T.S. are important" I reminded him.
"I know; I guess it's just-" he started before he pursed his lips together.
"Just?" I prompted.
"The closer I get to my N.E.W.T.S. the closer I am to finishing school" he stated.
"Yes" I advised as I pulled him closer to me. Me and Cedric had already discussed this a number of times already. It was going to be hard only being able to see Cedric during Hogsmede visits. But we would get through it together; our relationship was always going to be worth it.
"We agreed that we wouldn't dwell on this; we want to enjoy this last year at school together" I said soothingly hoping that this was reassure the pair of us.
"It's going to be hard not seeing you as much but we will get through it" I added.
"Of course we will my perfect girl" he smiled and I couldn't help but giggle at him.
"Like we have already said we can write; and there is always Hogsmede visits" he said as he continued to stroke my back slowly.
"Yeah" I advised as I looked down and snuggled into his chest.
"But let's concentrate on right now" I dismissed as I started to slowly stroke his chest with my right hand.
"Yeah" Cedric answered as he took my right hand from his chest and he interlocked our fingers together.
"I love you Mione" he said lovingly before he brought my right hand to his mouth and he pressed a tender kiss to the back of my hand.
"I love you too my dashing white knight" I said as I looked up at him and smiled.
"Oh you charmer you" he teased before he crushed his lips against mine and we fell into a series of long and loving kisses. At some point me and Cedric shifted our positions so we were more tangled together. I couldn't help but moan against his lips as he flicked his tongue against the roof of my mouth. I went to return the favour but we abruptly broke apart when we heard a familiar voice.
"Oh I'm so sorry!" Ginny exclaimed and I watched as she, Ron and Harry all nervously looked away.
"Oh" Cedric muttered as he loosened his arms from me slightly.
"Erm" I added as I smoothed my hair down at bit.
"Hi guys" I said nervously.
"Hello Mione" Ron answered meekly.
"What are you three doing here?" I enquired as I pulled one brow up in confusion.
"We are going to see Hagrid" Harry advised.
"I see" I noted and I felt my stomach burn at our current embarrassment.
"Well you kids enjoy yourselves" Cedric smiled.
"We will" Ginny smiled.
"I don't think we need to say the same to you two" she winked at us.
"Ginny!" me and Ron exclaimed.
"Whatever" she teased as she walked away. I watched as Ron and Harry both smiled at me before they followed her; I then heard Cedric chuckle and I looked up at him.
"I can't believe that" he laughed as he dragged his right hand through his hair.
"Really? This isn't the first time they have caught us" I laughed back.
"And it probably won't be the last" he returned as he pulled me back into a hug. We then cuddled into each other and started to enjoy each other's company once more - making the most of our limited time at school together.
"Mione" I heard a voice say which started to pull me out of my daydream.
"Hmmm" I grunted.
"Mione!" I heard the same voice say a little bit louder. I felt my body suddenly freeze and when I looked over to the other side of the kitchen I saw Cedric standing there - with my favourite crooked smile on his face.
