The air above the Quidditch pitch crackled, thick with the ancient rivalry between Slytherin and Hufflepuff, yet beneath it thrummed a singular, maddening consensus: you and Cedric were fated. The loathing was mutual, fierce, and performed for an eager audience. Cedric, Hufflepuff's beater, stood grounded, his gaze locked on you, Slytherin's seeker, as both teams watched from the sidelines, their amusement edged with desperate hope. On the wind, carried from the packed stands, came the whispers, over and over: one kiss would be enough to end it all.
