Summary: It was 4th Year, and last night, Harry's name came out of the Goblet of Fire. Harry became pretty upset after he lost Ron, and Hermione was reluctant to leave Ron's side, so Harry only had Cedric. Harry always went to the Astronomy Tower to cry when he was upset, and Cedric was up there looking up at the stars, which led to confessions.
Warnings: Sad and fast moving!
Top: Cedric
Bottom: Harry

Harry's POV
I sat on my bed, tears rolling down my face. Ron was mad and everyone in the whole school was ignoring me, except for a certain Hufflepuff. Cedric Diggory. Cedric trusted me, so we became friends. But I was seeking more than that. Love.
That morning, I continuously scrubbed myself in the shower, hoping to get rid of the layer that felt dirty. I felt like a dirty animal when I was walking back from the Great Hall. I saw Cedric and Cedric waved, with a smile of assurance. I waved back with a blush. Wait...a blush? That's so embarassing!
I quickly went outside for some fresh air, and instead found almost everyone wearing "Potter Stinks" badges. Even the Hufflepuffs! But Cedric didn't have one when he came outside. I smiled for just one split second, then tried to run away. But Cedric held me back. I turned to Draco, who was up in a tree.
"Hey, Pottah! What's the matter? Are you gonna cry? All because of these stupid badges? What a crybaby! Ha!"
Cedric took my hand and scoffed at Draco.
"Stop being such a stuck-up Slytherin! C'mon, Harry."
Cedric took me into an empty classroom.
"Are you alright?"
"I don't even know anymore."
"Please get some rest. You'll need it."
"Thank you."

I exitted the bathroom, ready to head to bed, when Ron came out of nowhere.
"What do you need to do tomorrow? Interview? Photoshoot?"
"Shove off, Ron."
"What? Need to practice for an interview? Saint Harry Potter. Getting all of the fame."
Harry was getting close to tears.
"Please, Ron!"
"What? Are you gonna go practice your speech? You wouldn't be any good, would you?"
Harry threw a badge that he found on the floor at Ron and ran out. Harry ran to the Astronomy Tower, and saw Cedric.
"Hold me."
Cedric didn't speak. He obeyed Harry and held him close. Cedric kissed the top of Harry's head.
"Hold on, I still love you."
"Thank you. I love you, too."
