“ oh it wouldn’t dare, would it? ” what is the difference? this is the question that has kept him up all night. to be loved or beloved, to be admired or adored, to be supported or accepted. how do such similar words come to mean such vastly different things depending on the person who exudes them? and then, how does that become a THREAT ? even now, he’s still learning, navigating social cues and decrypting body language in a world —and at an age— where it seems far more potent to take it for granted. so much so, that he wonders if it matters. and even if it does, has he any right to take it for granted?

“ ah, you are a lifesaver, you know that? i’ve skipped breakfast, and i… thank you. ”

SOMETHING IS WRONG. terribly and most horribly wrong, although she does not pick up on this —and she would be the only one who WOULD, especially with this little quip about a girlfriend— because he has been up since dawn arranging his emotions into something INDISCERNIBLE. his face is clear of the turmoil within, eyes bright and unbothered as he unwraps this gift and pops a cookie straight into his mouth. he groans his satisfaction before taking her head in his hands and planting a sloppy kiss on her forehead. a cedric diggory thing, if there ever was one. but only for betty cooper. “ mm, i’m going to say that these were made with love and sincerity, and not a thing more. either way, i promise i’ll make that up to you, alright? in a better way than this. ”

        She SHIMMERS with joy; sunshine encapsulated in one girl’s body, the epitome of what it means to be a Hufflepuff. Betty’s proud of her house, and yet so humble, flashing Cedric a bright smile and accepting the praise dutifully. But she’s not completely selfless, sneaking a cookie for herself, and shimmying at the sweet taste melting in her mouth. Crumbs dust her fingers. Around another she might pause to consider her next step, but she doesn’t falter as she licks each finger clean. Come on, now ––– he’s her best friend! 

“ Noted, ” she chirps, chin in hand, trying to pass off the blustering blush on her cheeks on the wind and the gusto with which it blows her hair into her mouth. So attractive, by the way. “ How are you doing, though? ” He couldn’t be faring worse off than Harry Potter; she’d heard some of the things people were saying about him… just plain stupid. If she were in his place, she’d want NOTHING more than to be out of the spotlight. “ I feel like I should warn you: at least three of the girls in my dorm are going to ask you to the Yule ball. So… be prepared. Don’t break too many hearts, huh? ”
