Summary: After Quidditch practice. Fluffy Cedric/Cho exchange.

A/N: First C/C fic. Mostly trying to get their characters/personalities/relationship vibe down.

Ravenclaw Quidditch practice is brutal- they’ve been working in the heat for hours it seems. When the captain finally tells them to head back up to the school, Cho’s muscles are aching, leg’s sore and fingers cramped from clutching the fluttering golden snitch. But it’s a good kind of tired, she thinks, like after you’ve finished reading a great big book. It’s exercising and challenging and innately satisfying.

Broom propped on her shoulder, Cho drags behind the rest of the team. Maybe she’ll stop in the locker rooms for a quick shower before dinner- she has a feeling that her grimy practice robes are giving off a rancid odor and she doesn’t want to scare off Cedric.

It’s an ironic thought to be having, because a moment later he scares her, startling her half to death, careening out of the bushes and wrapping his lanky arms around her shoulders.

“Ced!’ she shrieks, jumping nearly half a mile before her mind catches up. “Don’t touch me, I’m all sweaty.”

“Cho, girls don’t sweat, they glow. Don’t you know that?” he teases, moving aside her matted hair and pressing a kiss right behind her ear.

“Fine,” she giggles. “Don’t touch me, I’m glowing all over the place.”

He laughs, following her into the Ravenclaw locker rooms without a pause. “Better.”
