Harry arrived in the great hall to gather breakfast since he knew he needed it after that horrible nightmare he had last night. Needless to say, Harry's hair was as messier than ever and his eye bags were as big as they could get.

"WHOA! mate, what happened to you?" Ron asked, stopping his voracious appetite to look at Harry.

"Yeah, it looks like the night of the living dead!" George said, who is beside Ron. Hermione is eyeing Harry with a concerned look then mouthed "Scar hurt?" Harry understands what Hermione was implying and shook his head. "Guys, it's nothing…just have a rough night…Couldn't sleep and all"

He was still standing when he catch the stare of Mr. Popular from the Hufflepuff table. Cedric's eyes have dark circles around them too, his hair weren't as tidy as they usually come and he looked pale. When Harry realized he was staring, he looked down, blushing. Last night, Harry couldn't forget the dream he had. Well, aside from Voldemort who makes matters a nightmare, Harry couldn't erase Cedric the sex god away from his mind. Harry looked back and saw Cedric's three other friends smirking at him, then he eyed Cedric, suddenly the handsome boy gave him the most wonderful smile Harry had ever seen, Harry looked down and if it was possible, blushed harder. Harry then decided to sit at the opposite of his friends, back facing the Hufflepuff table. Harry then picked up whatever his hands could grab on and started eating.

At the Hufflepuff table, Draine, Spencer and Mark couldn't help but notice Cedric's ill-appearance.

"What's wrong with you mate? Don't think of backing out now!" Draine said cautiously, he knew Cedric wasn't so sure yet about their wager.

"If you're really not sure, I could always replace you…" Spencer said, he hadn't looked at Harry before, but seeing him now, Harry was pretty. Very good-looking even.

Cedric was cut out by what Spencer said and quickly said "NO!" quite harshly that some from the hufflepuff table glanced their way. "I-I m-mean that's not what this is about. Just have a rough night, bad dream. Couldn't sleep" Cedric quipped.

Mark smirked, "I don't get it dude, why you're getting defensive when it comes to Spence shagging Harry. Jealous much?"

"W-what? N-no! It's just that Harry's cool, and we know how Spencer here could get a little mean when it comes to pranks" Cedric said defensively.

"It was a joke man, chill"

"Hey Cedric, Could you pass the bacon" Somebody said from a far.

"Get it yourself ninny, I don't hand stupid people with stuff" Cedric smirked, gaining a laugh from his friends. This is Mr. Perfect speaking. It's not easy doing these things, Cedric doesn't like hurting others, but it's the only way the subject could be shaken away from him.

"Who's mean now?" Mark said, still shaking with laughter.

"Shut up Rivers, I'm not talking to you." Cedric, the Perfect spoke again.

"Okay, So I'm guessing you're up for the challenge then?" Spencer said, hoping Cedric's not.

"You bet I am." Cedric replied, Potter is messing with my brain. So better yet mess with Potter. This would soo help with my popularity status.

"So how do you plan on seducing Potter?" Spencer asked, quite disappointed in the turnout of events.

"I don't know, I don't need any plans really." Cedric replied, forking his slice of bacon.

"I don't understand" Spencer replied.

"Well, I don't expect that thick skull of yours would." Cedric said nonchalantly then continued "I'm just going to go with the usual, just my wits and killer smiles, and maybe some of that Diggory charm. No one could get away with that!"

"And if you fail?" Draine said, an air of trickery in his voice.

"Are you challenging me Torres?" Cedric said.

"Well, yes. Make Harry fall in love and de-virginize him. I give you up to the end of November, if you succeed We'll do whatever you like, no questions asked." Draine said.

"And if I don't?" Cedric asked cautiously.

"You'll give me that ring." Draine eyed Cedric's ring lustfully.

"Whaat? This is a family heirloom—and it's very important." Cedric said, holding the ring possessively.

"Yep, I know that the gem is from Helga Hufflepuff's cup… and it has certain qualities, and that's why I liked it. Deal?" Draine asked, barely masking the excitement in his voice.

Cedric contemplated.

"Oh wait, do you hear that? Chicken…Chicken…" Mark started.

The rest of his friends followed… Chicken… Chicken… Chicken… Chicken… Chicken… Chicken… Chicken… Chicken… Chicken… Chicken… Soon everyone in the vicinity followed…

"OKAY! FINE! DEAL!" Cedric shouted, trying very hard to stay away from this popularity damaging moment.

"We have a deal then" Draine said. You're so gonna lose Diggory.
