Laurasia couldn't help but laugh at Draco's comment. "Yeah, I'm surprised that his father doesn't go broke just trying to feed him! My god Crabbe, where do you get your appetite? Your parents are normal-sized people...what happened to you?"

Draco snickered at his cousin's comment. He saw that Vincent had turned a bright shade of red. It was so obvious that he fancied Laurasia. Draco did not know how he would react to such a pairing if one ever came into fruition. Crabbe's family was very wealthy..they were Purebloods..good connections..he guessed that it wouldn't be such a bad thing.
"I think that fatness skipped a generation. His grandfather is a very large man. " He smiled at Crabbe's continued discomfort.

*************
As they entered the Great Hall, Cedric realized that he was holding Laurasia's hand. Embarassed, he dropped it..he knew that his face was very red. When they arrived at the Hufflepuff table, Cedric pulled out a seat for her. He knew that there were people staring, but he didn't care.
He pulled out his homework assignment from Snape. "I reckon I should do this before I leave for break. I will forget if I put it off." He smiled at Laurasia before beginning his assignment.

Laurasia had secretly been smiling very widely as Cedric had ahold of her hand. When he suddenly took his hand away she was taken aback for a moment. Then he pulled out a chair at the Hufflepuff table for her & the smile returned. She glanced at some of the Hufflepuff students that were staring at them & glared hard. "Can I help you with something?" she asked coldly. Immediately the students turned their faces back down to the various things in front of them, their food, books, etc.
She looked as Cedric pulled out his Potions assignment & started working. "You haven't turned it in yet?! Boy, nothing like waiting until the last minute eh? I had mine turned in a long time ago."

Cedric groaned. "Yes, but lucky for me I know exactly what to write. How I messed up the potion fiercely. I stirred the opposite way that the directions called for, so my potion ended up a gross color of yellow. " He had been talking to her as he kept his attention on his parchment. He was embarrased admitting this to Laurasia..the potion's queen of Hogwarts.
He probably wouldn't be good enough for her. She was a Malfoy after all.

Laurasia couldn't help but giggle. "Yeah, that does happen. Just be glad that it wasn't a poison antidote that Professor Snape had us brewing, otherwise you could have filled the room with a noxious gas by stirring the wrong way."
She poured herself a glass of pumpkin juice & held it up to Cedric. "Would you like some?"

He gave a quick fearful look to Laurasia.
"That would have been terrible. I would have felt awful if anyone else would have been affected by my goof-up."
He smiled at her offer of pumpkin juice. "Sure, thanks Laurasia." As she poured the drink for him, he noticed they made eye contact. Before he could stop himself, he blurted out something that he had thought of for a long time.
"Laurasia, you have the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen." He said this while maintaining eye contact. Once the words were out of his mouth however, he looked down quickly to his work.

Taken aback by Cedric's sudden comment, Laurasia looked down quickly with a fierce blush in her cheeks. "Why thank you Cedric. I don't know what to say." She continued to blush & couldn't keep eye contact with him now.

"I..I..I'm sorry," he stammered, now very red in color.
He put his nose so close to his book, that it was almost touching it. Without looking up, Cedric continued.
"I meant what I said Laurasia. I did not mean to make you embarrassed..I was just speaking my mind. Your eyes are very beautiful."

Sneaking a peek at Cedric, Laurasia saw that his nose was in fact touching his book. She laughed out loud. "Oh Cedric! You don't have to eat your book over it. Now I've gone & embarrassed you." She reached over & pulled his chin away from the textbook.
"Let's just relax. Thank you for the compliment. You're rather handsome yourself, though I'm sure that you already know that with all of the snitch-bunnies around," she said with a giggle.

Cedric felt his face flush even more (was that possible?) as Laurasia tilted his chin upright.
"Snitch-bunnies?" He looked at her in awe. He knew what she meant, he had just never heard the term before. "You are something Laurasia, you know that don't you?"
Before the shock of the students who were watching; before he could stop himself..he leaned over, closed his eyes and kissed her quickly on the lips. Then he screwed his face up for the slap or spell that he knew would be coming.

Laurasia giggled at Cedric face when she used the term "snitch-bunnies". She assumed that he probably wasn't used to hearing girls speak like that. She was about to look away herself & thank Cedric for his compliment when he suddenly kissed her. Before she could think about what was happening, she found herself kissing him back as well. Her senses having come back to her by the time Cedric pulled away, she would have blushed fiercly. She saw Cedric's face though, & realized that he was expecting something along the lines of retaliation.
She smirked & then reached over & quickly kissed him once more in retaliation.

As he waited for the curse that he knew was coming, he jumped a bit when he felt..her lips? Cedric opened his eyes to make sure that he was not dreaming. As quickly as she had kissed him back however, it seemed to be over that much quicker.
After a minute of silence (and much whispering around them), he cleared his throat.
"Umm..Laurasia I really should apologize, but I find that I cannot. I am not sorry. I think that I..I..I" Why could he not just SAY it. "I love you Laurasia" Would that be so difficult? He was not lying on the ground in his own blood, so obviously she was not mad. She had even kissed him back!!
He felt a smile spread across his face. "Laurasia..I..care for you very deeply."

Laurasia couldn't help but laugh at Cedric seeming discomfort at actually saying the words. She smiled sweetly & looked into his eyes. "I love you too, Cedric Diggory." She giggled & blushed before looking up again. "You know you have that in common with Professor Snape. He has trouble expressing such feelings as well."

Cedric felt a smile spread ear to ear as he heard Laurasia say that she loved him. He felt as though he had just won the Quidditch Cup. Then he heard her comment about Snape.
"Very funny. I never thought that I would ever be compared to Professor Snape. Don't get the wrong idea..I think that he is a brilliant professor. It is just that he is so..moody." He took her hand in his and kissed it.
"Considering that it is almost Valentine's Day, I must ask you. What are your likes and dislikes when it comes to..you know..gifts and candy." Cedric hated himself for it, but he felt himself getting red again.
