Logic Be Damned by megan_lupin

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: “Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can’t control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense.”

It started on a spring day in the library, when they both decided to act on emotions. It ended while watching a sunset in the backyard, when they both decided it was ‘for the best’. And it became fully understood on a stormy night, when they both decided that love wasn’t always logical.

What will happen when Cedric finally confronts his dad about the way he feels? Will things turn out badly, or will his father actually listen to him for once?
