Unwanted Desire-Chapter 2

Cedric came to the quidditch pitch after practice. He was bombarded by other players and fans alike/

Harry: *was watching frm afar, not coming close to the mob of ppl. He was having second thoughts abt whether or not he was being hasty in declining Dumbledore. He had to admit, he was a bit of a soft-hearted wen it comes to ppl begging him to saving the world*
Cedric sent the others away and came over to Harry. "Hi, Harry. Mind if I sit?" He asked.

Harry: *look up at him n shook his head, making way for him*

"Harry, please. I just want to talk to you."

Harry: *a long pause* I'm listening

"We have to get married because of the prophocy but that does not mean that we can not be friends, before hand."

Harry: I knw, bt...well, how's Cho taking it?

"Not good. She refuses to let me break it off." He sighed. "But don't worry I will be faithful to you."

Harry: How r u gonna be faithful to me wen u r gonna go bk to her at the end of the day?

"I will not. I do not believe in cheating. I told her the other day when we found out, that I was breaking it off."

Harry: But she still wont break it off with u

"She has no choice." He said. "I have to marry you."

Harry: I just...I'm so tired of all this. Always having to be the dog of the Ministry, following whtever stupid thing they had for me. Have I got no social life? Cant they just leave me alone for one second without having to bother me abt all those damn so-called prophecies of theirs?!

"I have never been apart of any prophecies, but I do wonder why I was me whom you are marrying. I really didn't even fight in the war."

Harry: Tht's why I just don't get it. How can u take this at such a stride? Arent u the least bit upset abt this?

"Yes I am. But I am a hufflepuff. I follow rules. If I am told to marry same one, even if I am straight. I will do it."

Harry: *pouts n looks away* Just because ur a hufflepuff doesnt mean u have to follow its attributes. They apply to the general, not specifics

"I will do it all the same." Cedric he sighed.

Harry: *looks dwn in a long pause before whispering* Just so u knw...I'm gay. But it doesnt mean I'll fall in love with u anytime soon

"I thought as much." He nodded. "I doubt I will ever fall in love with you. But that does not mean that this can't be a friendship. "

Harry: *giggled* A platonic marriage. Sounds funny when you think about it...Wait, u knew I am gay?

"You and Ron were dating, weren't you two?" Cedric asked.

Harry: Well, yeah, for a year, until he ended up falling for Viktor Krum n dumped me. I was evn more shocked to hear tht while we were dating, Mione was pining for him secretly yet he was too thick-headed to notice tht she was into Krum to make him jealous. Yeah, he was jealous alright, bt not in a way Mione had hoped *rolled his eyes*

"I knew Krum was bi. He tried to hit on me and Cho. Anything that moves he goes after."

Harry: More like a human penis. Neways, Ron's having a bit of a long-distance relationship with Krum while Krum is probably cheating on him behind his bk, n I've nvr dated since. Not coz I'm picky. It's coz of...well, Voldemort's issue

"I have been with Cho since her fifth my seventh. We had a ruff spot for bit but I thought I would live the rest of the life with her." He shrugged. "I guess I can look on the brightside."

Harry: Wht brightside? *looks up at him curiously, a little overwhelmed by his optimism*

"I want to have children and Cho doesn't want children. She says they only tie you down and since she wants to get into Quidditch too, she wants us just to travel that world."

Harry: I... *blushed a little* Well...I guess I might be the brightside u want. Actually, I have been hoping for children, give them a life I couldnt have...I just didnt think it would be this way, n with ME as the mother

"I never thought the mother of my child would be another man." He looked at Harry. "I have never been with another man, but when the time come to....creat this child..." Cedric was blushing. "I will be..gentle about it."

Harry: *saw him blush as well n couldnt help thinking he looked rather cute in tht colour* H...Have u...done it before with Cho?

"Yes." he blushed harder and looked away. "We have. But that does not go farther than here."

Harry: I...I get the idea... *looks away*

Cedric gulped and reached over to take Harry hand. "It's not the engagment ring I wanted to give you but..." He pulled it out. "Will you marry me, Harry?"

Harry: *blushed bright red, it felt kinda odd being proposed like tht. He had always been the pants in the relationship with Ron, bt now tht the tables have turned, it was kinda awkward for him* I...I dunno...w...wht to say...

"Think about it. Mull it over." He handed him the ring. "I will be back in a week." He said..
Harry: *takes the ring, looking up at him* A...A week? Where u going?

"Training. This happens once every season."

Harry: Oh. W...Where will u be training this time?

"Ireland. It's the isles that get together and train this year."

Harry: OK. Can I...write to u? *looks away shyly* I knw it's corny bt...

"Yeah, write to me. We can get to know each other better too." He smiled.

Harry: *smiled bk. His smile was infectious, n he knew it to be so wen they were in the Triwizard Tournament* I guess. Well...good luck on ur training

"Thank you." He took Harry's hand and kissed the back of it, before he left.

Harry: *was surprised tht he did it, bt he didnt hate it. He looked at his other hand tht clutched the ring* ~Maybe...a platonic marriage...isnt so bad...~
