Part 3 - hogsmeade date version!
[Warning: it's from chapter 45/46]
Harry and Cedric visit every store at Hogsmeade together, brushing hands while nobody is watching. In an nearly deserted corridor, Harry places his hand in the back pocket of Cedric's trousers —and Cedric can't stop grinning

You would think these chapters couldn't have anything more but they do!
Ao3: Always Yours
Cedric: how is it that there are rumors about Harry and me being together?
Also Cedric: *spends a lot of time with Harry, they shared breakfast at the Hufflepuff table, both arrive later to dinner, constantly hangs out between classes*
Harry: well, it might be because we are
Literally anyone: THE CUTEST COUPLE, may I add
Part 2
Cho offered to paint their faces with the colors of Ireland just as she had done to hers. Harry didn't hesitate to nod and stood still as she brushed his face and held his chin for stability.
"All yours," Harry instructed as he rose from the seat, freeing it.
Cedric wasn't convinced, but he sat down.
The paint didn't seem like one of those that irritated his skin.
"You're adorable," Cho told Cedric with a big smile when she finished. A little shy all of a sudden, she added, "Both of you are.”
"Would you have painted me even if I supported Bulgaria?"
Cho laughed at Harry's indiscreet question.
"Yes, but it wouldn't have been my best work."
Harry's gaze fell on Cedric's face, studying it carefully as he recognized, “It does look really nice.”
The rosy hue, however, was not part of the Irish flag.

Along with Cho, they made it back to the Weasleys' tent just in time for all of them to head out into the woods towards the stadium. Ginny and Luna had the team colors painted on their cheeks. Harry entered just for a moment to grab the items he had bought for tonight.
He came out wearing all that, as if he were a walking flag.
Cedric covered his smile. He looked so adorable —and funny.
“Want one?” Harry handed him a green shamrock rosette. "I think I'm a little loaded."
"Sure," he said, stifling a laugh.
He took the brooch and clipped it to his coat.
In the same place where Harry had his, identical.

I am happy I got into a point in my life that if I don't like something, I say it. If something makes me uncomfortable, I communicate it. What that person does with that information is another matter.
Someone says something I disagree with? I respectfully share my opinion. I used to keep everything inside just to not cause conflict.
Someone says something that hurts me or I find rude? I speak up.
This may be a controversial opinion.
I love spoilers.
It might just be my anxiety but still. I get so excited when finding out things that will happen later in a book/series. Like what? Why? How? And then I see it and it clicks and makes sense.
So I gave up trying to restraint myself and I spent like four hours writing because “I deserve it” and “if you can’t beat them, join them” (and by them I mean my own head)
When did writing become such a reward?
And the main thing providing me dopamine
Now I’m happy and sleepy
Tomorrow I will study, since I got it out of my system for now. It feels nice
Writing romance when your romantic life is a complete mess? Yeah.
Well, I least I loved and lost.
I guess it’s better than have never loved.
Or when I wrote romance and had literally no experience.
Pairing: Cedric x Harry
Ao3: “The boy in my dreams” (Chapter 2)
If only it could have been improvised, rather spontaneous instead of planned… but there was no other way he could pull it off. When Cedric ran across Harry in the corridor, he wished him good luck for the next day's Quidditch match in a very casual comment, as intended. Cedric felt quite nervous about playing against Harry and really wanted to be friendly. He had been waiting for an opportunity to talk to him again and refused to let their second meeting be on the field, on opposing teams.
It suddenly occurred to him that perhaps that could be easily misunderstood. He could only blame himself, since that was all he had been able to think of in advance, and now he was afraid he had sounded ironic or like he wanted to pick up some sort of fight.
People didn't go around just wishing luck to their opponents.
But Cedric really meant it.
Perhaps Harry could tell because he got closer with a smile.
“Thanks,” he said, walking next to Cedric. “Are you going to be there?”
Cedric wanted to stop, not knowing where he was taking him. The reality was that he had been wandering around aimlessly, no way expecting Harry to start a conversation. Cedric nodded in response, turning down the hallway to the left.
Maybe he did have a direction after all.
"Supporting your house, of course," Harry continued. His voice sounded warm, cheerful, not seeming at all nervous about the match or for talking to the opposing team.
"I will always support my house," Cedric replied confidently, and couldn't help but add, "But between us, I'd rather support Gryffindor than Slytherin."
That didn't come as a surprise to him. Okay, it was almost common knowledge. Most students from other houses would choose Gryffindor under those conditions.
"What if it's Ravenclaw?"
Harry was grinning. Why did Cedric realise that every time? He frowned a little, considering it. Sure, in that case he would be watching Harry play, but he had always been supportive of Ravenclaw.
"I have friends in Ravenclaw," he admitted, kind of embarrassed for not telling him that he would support his team. “So it's a clear conflict of interest.”
The answer must have caught him off guard, because Harry opened his eyes and looked away. Was it his imagination or had that somehow sounded… suggestive? It hadn't been his intention. Cedric didn't used to act like that and definitely did not usually think of backing a team for a boy either, but deep down he knew he would root for Harry from now on —even if he kept it a secret. What harm could one more secret do, especially when his green eyes haunted his dreams? The least he could do was follow him into his games.
