The death eater laid still, Harry run into the nearby forest. To hide from site, he didn't even bothered to light his wand just in case somebody was following him, he just went by instinct and hoping against hope that he was going the right way-or at least the safe way. After running for hours…or for days for all he knew, he decided to rest. He went for cover behind a tree, sat and leaned on the branches catching his breath. Minutes later when his heart went back to its normal pace, he heard footsteps from the nearby branches. Then, a ragged breathing. Harry thinks quickly of the best spell he could muster. He couldn't run now, he's too tired to do that, so the only thing left is to fight. Harry counted the footsteps, but it suddenly stopped. Harry knew that whoever that was must know that he's there. Harry's heart begins to thud loudly. Comeon, closer… Be quick Harry….One, two, three.
Harry went out, wand at ready and shouted "Stupefy" but the figure also casts a spell at the same time with Harry saying "Impedimenta", The two spell collide creating a bright spark, illuminating the face of the attacker-Harry stood frozen-"C-Cedric? Is that you?"
"H-Harry? Sorry I thought you're a death eater!" Cedric said, both sorry and relieved that it was Harry.
Harry couldn't help but be relieved as well, that it was not another death eater. "It's okay I thought so too-"
"Avada Kedavra!" a green light suddenly flashed from a far, missing both boys by a fraction. "Come on!" Cedric grabbed Harry's hand, and ran, Harry dropped his wand. "My wand!" Harry was about to go for it but Cedric held him firmly, "Leave it Potter! Death eaters are following us!" Sure enough five death eaters can be seen not so far, trying to follow them.
Both boys ran. Cedric was trying desperately to protect him and Harry. They round a corner, and was able to get away with the death eaters. They run some more just to be sure, then gave up and took a rest under a huge tree for cover. Both boys waited until their heart's paced went slowly. Their breathing normalized.
"Do you think we're safe here?" Harry broke their reverie after a few minutes.
"No. But I think we'll be safe here for a couple of hours" Cedric replied. Harry was thinking the same thing. "Hey, thanks for saving me, earlier. I can't believe I dropped my wand" Harry started.
"Don't worry about it… I'm getting used to it… In case you haven't noticed, this is becoming quite a habit yours…" Cedric sounded amused.
"What is?" Harry asked, still not getting the glitch.
"Saving…" Cedric muttered. Harry was about to say something foul, but decided better,
"thanks anyway."Harry replied.
"Am I annoying you?" Cedric asked, clearly amused.
"Y-YEAH! All the time!" they both laughed at this. "But seriously, Diggory, I owe you one." Harry declared.
"It's nothing" Cedric said.
"No I mean it, I mean; I'm not so used to be the one being saved, and out of the blue there you are. I'm not even sure if I'm thanking you properly, but anyway-thank you!" Harry stated honestly.
"Well, anytime Potter!" Cedric stated.
They were both quiet after that. Cedric looked at Harry at the corner of his eye. A gleam of moonlight was shining at Harry, and it literally took his breath away. Harry looked like an illusion, With his pale skin, green eyes and that raven black hair all illuminated by the moonlight. Harry is dream-like. Harry looked at Cedric catching his eyes. "What?" Harry asked. "N-nothing!" Cedric stammered. Then looked away. Again silence.
After a couple of minutes, Cedric tried at humor, "So—I'm your first kiss eh?"
Harry smirked, "Don't push it Diggory!" they both laughed. Then at the same time looked at each other, green to grey, Both were lost in each other. "besides I'm totally kissable…" Cedric is closing the gap between their lips, "Yeah.." Harry said, angling his head to meet Cedric's lips when-
"Mosmorde!" A man, was a few feet wand from their tree, casted a spell with Harry's wand, and a skull with a serpent tongue outlined the sky. The man quickly dropped Harry's wand and apparated. All this prevented the impending kiss, and the two boys woke up from their trance.
"What was that?" Harry asked.
"The Dark Mark, it's you-know-who's mark, Merlin's beard, this is soo not good!"
They went to the spot where the man casted the spell, when all of a sudden 10 wizards and witches appeared out of nowhere and shouted, "Stupefy"
Cedric and Harry both with seeker reflexes ducked.
"Hold on! That's my Son! Stop!" Amos' voice can be heard.
Everything happened in a flash, the heated argument between the ministry officials and Cedric's father about whether Harry and Cedric casted the spell, and the fact that Harry's wand was the one who casted it, sparked a heated argument between the adults. After telling the story, with a winning argument from Cedric's father, they were finally released.
"Here said, take Harry with you, that is a map were the portkey that the Weasley's and us used earlier. They are waiting there. I just need to help the ministry clean this mess up. Arthur and I will join you there softly" Amos' said, handing the map to Cedric.
On their way to the portkey, Cedric and Harry were contemplating on what happened in the forest, less on the pandemonium but more of their trance. Weren't they about to kiss? What was that supposed to men. Sure it's just an adrenaline rush. It doesn't mean anything. Both boys thought at the sametime.
They neither looked nor talked to each other until they've reached their destination.
Hermione quickly thrown herself at Harry, crying, "I'm so worried! Don't you ever do that again!"
When Amos and Arthur arrived, the two boys still wasn't talking. So they went to their separate ways, with the same thoughts in mind.
