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.
Once the cloak was over his head, the last thing Harry expected was for Cedric to reach out for him, much less to throw his arm around his shoulders and walk together like that. Between the weight of the cloak and Cedric's delicate pressure on him, Harry was having trouble breathing. He tried to form a mental picture of how they must look from the outside, and he checked all sides to make sure no one else was in the forest.
Then he offered to let him get under the cloak. "You're tall, but I think we fit in," Harry made room for Cedric, who hunched just enough for him to cover both of them. “Are you comfortable?”
The smile on his face was an affirmative answer.
Cedric looked in all directions and, as they continued walking, he straightened up and supported all the weight on his own. As if it were an umbrella in the rain, Harry was sheltered between the soft arm behind his head and Cedric's chest that at times crashed against his back. “This is incredible. If it wasn't for the fact that I feel like I'm under a sheet, I'd totally forget that we're invisible.”
"Trust me, when there's someone who shouldn't see you, you gladly remember you are," Harry replied, laughing.
He couldn't see Cedric’s expression but he could sense his tone. “Have you used it many times?”
Impressed, surprised.
“A few. With Ron too.”
Wandering around with his best friend was nothing compared to being with Cedric and his scent that filled the small space. Harry was being really careful not to trip over the cloak or bump into him, but all his efforts disappeared as they seemed to match their steps while talking.
"You've never been caught," Cedric stated, slight amusement in his voice. “I don't know if I want to ask why you had to use it in the first place.”
“No, you definitely don't want to know. You might have to report it.”
"I would never report you."
There wasn't an ounce of doubt.
"Unless I was in danger," Harry said, smiling to himself when the silence proved him right. “Hermione’s like that too. You two have a lot in common. I bet you’d like her.”
"I would tell you first," he declared, suddenly unsteady in his steps. “I bet I would.”
Harry couldn't imagine someone Cedric wouldn't like.
Or someone who wouldn’t like Cedric.
He was so…
He had no words.

Ao3: Always Yours
I think I’m gonna start posting things from part two :)
a comic about fix-it fanfics
It ain't no lie, baby, bi bi bi ♫
writing is just sitting in front of a computer and making up problems for imaginary people while ignoring your own. fun and casual hobby.
I'm curious: have you ever read Percy Jackson? And if so, is your character Malcolm inspired by Annabeth's brother with the same name? They have the same vibes to me lol. Even their surnames are similar: your Mal is Preece and the one from PJO is Malcolm Pace. I find it pretty funny because I love both characters, though I prefer your Malcolm because he has way more character.
Great question! I have read two of the main series. And I loved it. (Nico and Leo are my favourites.)
I don't even remember Annabeth had a brother lol Either I didn't get to that book or the reason is my lousy memory.
Malcolm Preece is an actual character of the books. A Hufflepuff, but I made some changes. My Mal is not into Quidditch all that much (Fred loves him despite of it), so he is not in the team. Oh and I also love how he could have easily been a Ravenclaw because he is so cool and smart in a funny, creative way. Did I made this the moment to talk about my favourite secondary character? I totally did.
How much I wish I had his confidence lol
And I love the fact that HE HAS CURLY HAIR.
My bff asked me if I was alright bc she heard of the AO3 curse that affects writers. I've been through three of those things so far in like a few months

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
That deep desire to write when you can’t it’s killing me
Planning or daydreaming can only scratch that need to a certain point
And I’m not that much inspired to get it out easily
It’s more like “wow how much I wish I could spend all the afternoon cracking my head up until I find the right words”
One night on a prefect’s patrol, Cedric talks to someone who sounds just like Harry under his invisibility cloak. But it isn’t him. Not really
So time travel, but a Harry from a different timeline shows up
Cedric and Harry are boyfriends, but the new, somehow known and unknown older Harry has a mission that concerns both of them
I guess you can anticipe the rest haha
Probably predictable but I love the time travel trope and I haven’t read one like this
FUTURE/PAST HARRY KISSES PRESENT CEDRIC. Yeah, that’s the first idea I had and I am totally writing a whole long fic just for it to happen
I’m already half there :)
May this count as a spoiler? But there is so much more
Part 1 (completed) is a much needed introduction and build up, with a lot of cute Hedric moments. Here’s the link:
Part 2 (work in progress) is when the plot really starts.
Long life to those fics that completely destroys you but they made you experience such pretty intense nice feelings, so it's like "It's okay that this hurts so much".
There are people like that too.
