Protective Cedric - Blog Posts

As the the third tasked arrived Cho had started to notice that Potter and Cedric seemed to have become closer and closer. It made her stomach twist in unbearable knots and fury rage through her. She had to watch in undetected anguish as Potter and Cedric had walked hand in hand to the entrance to the maze and bid each other a good luck kiss. She felt like throwing up at the mere sight. The first spark of red lights had appeared and she had a hope flourish in her that Potter had given up or was horribly hurt beyond repair. But it had turned out to be Delacour. Then, a second flourish of hope appeared with another string of red lights, it was quickly crushed as it was Krum. That had left her dear Cedric against that chit, Potter. Some time had passed by until suddenly Cedric and Potter appeared in front of them. Only something was wrong with Potter. The sight of seeing Cedric holding Potter against his chest while caressing her head had send painful twist through her but she noticed something was off. Potter ….. she wasn’t moving! And she didn’t look to be breathing. A tidal wave of hope and happiness had taken over, Potter was gone! She was no longer in the way. In an instant Cho had come up with an entire plan to comfort Cedric and be his rock for his mourning of that chit until he would finally look to her with love.

Cedric was crying over Harriet’s body. She couldn’t be gone! He still hasn’t introduced her to his parents properly. He still needed to help her escape from her awful relatives. He still needed to properly apologize for taking Cho Chang to the ball instead of her. He still hasn’t told her how absolutely in love he was with her. They had arrived in the graveyard and while on guard he wasn’t really expecting such a disaster to take place. He had heard it too late “Kill the spare!”, he had seen a blast of green light headed towards him as he tried to protect Harri from the unidentifiable voice. But in a moment Harri had shoved him towards the opposite direction and had taken the hit herself. He had to watch as the same voice had shouted order again for him to be restrained and for the rat-like man to haul up his beloved’s body to a tombstone and cut her arm.

He had struggled with all his might until he saw the most horrendous scene unfold. A snake-like man had arisen and it was then that Cedric had realized who it was as He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named appearance was one that everyone in the magical community had learned to fear. A burst of strength surged through him as He-, Voldemort had started to pat and caress Harriet’s face. He had made a dash for her taking her wand and dueling Voldemort. He had faintly heard the Phoenix song play and he saw glowing images of people shoot from the wands connection. Each telling him to win until he saw them. James and Lily Potter, his girlfriend’s parents they had said for him the break the connection and take the portkey but to most importantly to take care of Harriet, much to his confusion.

He did as told and had grabbed the portkey and his young love’s body. And now he sits in front of the crowd sobbing. It wasn’t until someone had tried to take Harri away from him that he had taken notice of his surroundings. He screamed.

“Nooo, you can’t take her away please! I can’t leave her! Don’t touch her!”, he couldn’t abandon her not now. The suddenly a loud gasp had escaped from Harriet, and then came a sputtering of coughs. She was alive! “Oh thank Merlin!”, Cedric proclaimed after getting over the shock then proceeded to check her over seeing if anything could be a fatal wound and to be sure she was real. “Don’t ever scare me like that again!”, he said just to express how much anguish he was in, in the few minutes she had not been amongst the living.

“I’ll try not to, Ced.”, Harri replied a bit hoarsely. Afterwards he had pulled her into a bruising kiss, that she would later blush at but was cut off short by a shrill scream. From the stands arose Cho Chang ,a fifth-year Ravenclaw that Cedric had taken to the ball. Was she freaked out by her supposed corpse coming back to life?

“NO! Why didn’t you stay dead ?!?” She exclaimed before she had tried to run towards the surrounded couple with her wand drawn, only to be stopped by Bill and Charlie Weasley. She was still thrashing. Why hadn’t that chit Potter just stayed dead ?! She had to just go and do the impossible again, to ruin any chance that she could have with Cedric. She had caused tears to pour from his eyes, and she’ll be damned before letting that hussy get away with it and still be alive.

The couple looked in her direction startled. It soon turned to terrified and shock glances as Cho had started to proclaim her undying love for Cedric and swearing that they would be together as soon as she got rid of Potter. As Cho was being restrained she sobered up just enough to look in Cedric’s direction and see something that had utterly destroyed her. Her Cedric was still holding that abomination Potter to his chest and looking in her direction finally but not in love like she had dreamed but in fear, shock, and disgust. As she threw another death threat at Potter for stealing Cedric away, he had just pulled Potter closer to him. That haunting image was the last thing she saw before the elder Weasley brothers had put her out.

A scene I had in my head for my Harriet x Cedric fanfiction

(Who I imagine to be Harriet)

Just worked on this don’t know if it’s good but you know I’m kinda proud of it

Cedric was not one that could be angered easily. But tonight, he had nearly blew a gasket. When he had asked Cho Chang to be his date it was more of a ploy to try and get over his first ( and only) love... and to maybe get her a little jealous. But the tables were turned as soon as he saw who Viktor Krum had brought as his date. Viktor had brought Harriet Potter ( love of Cedric’s life) as his date with a smug smirk on his face when looking at Cedric. It took everything in Cedric not to demand answers from Krum and even more to not abandon Cho in favor of stealing Harriet. After glaring and hoping a hole would burn into Krum’s head, he turned his head slightly to take in Harriet’s appearance. She was naturally beautiful and did not care for makeup and other girly things. But seeing her dressed up for the Yule Ball absolutely took his breath away. She was dressed in emerald green gown that had made Slytherin girls green with envy and Slytherin boys drool and trip over themselves.

Gorgeous, could not begin to describe how she looked. One would wonder if Harriet had Veela lineage. Seeing her so beautiful but for another man made Cedric feel something twist painfully in his stomach and boil his blood. Through out the night he had made sure that Krum had made no advancements on his lioness. He hardly made an effort to pay attention to Cho. If he had he would of noticed her scowling at Harriet and trying to divert his attention back to her.

Viktor’s POV

It was quite amusing to see the foolish badger looking territorial. I had asked Harriet to the ball after finding her crying in a library secluded table. After coming to this foolish school, I could find that many of it’s residents were just downright frustrating to deal with. However, I had met Harriet and her friends. Her lot and her knew that I was just another person, so we had become quick friends. Harriet is the sister I always wanted so, seeing cry just made me so furious with Diggory. After the fist task a lot of people had begun to see that my darling little sister did not willingly enter her name but Diggory was still hesitant to come and apologize to her. She looked so sad that he had asked another girl to the ball that I just had to do something. Not to mention this was the perfect way to keep all unworthy boys away from my precious sister. After all despite what my sister thinks she is actually very desired through out the school. I was pulled out of my musings when I felt someone staring at me. I turned around to see stormy gray eyes of my fellow champion. I wanted to mess with him a little so I did what would probably rile any guy up. I put my arm around my honorary sister’s waist and whispered in her ear.

“ I would rather be playing some quidditch with you instead of this boring ball, after all you are probably the only one that could match my skill here.”, I saw from the corner of my eye Diggory tensing up and looked like he was going to stomp his way towards us If he hadn’t been held back by that infuriating girl, Cho Chang.

“ Same, I would rather be flying through the air than having my feet on my ground.”, Harriet had whispered back to me with a beaming smile on her face. That smile alone caused my heart to melt at how adorable she is. And from my field of vision it looked like I wasn’t the only one affected. Boys all over the hall were getting slapped upside their head for staring at Harriet. But the best reaction was Diggory‘s he looked absolutely transfixed on Harriet that he didn’t notice Cho huff at him with frustrated tears in her eyes. Ah, it is always a pleasure in giving people a taste of their own medicine.

Cedric’s POV:

It hurt so much to see her smile like that to another man. Despite being Hufflepuff’s poster boy, I am still a man ( that happens to be a little possessive when it comes to my lioness). I know I broke up with Harriet but I wasn’t thinking clearly and was hurt when I heard all the rumors going around school. I should have known better but I wanted this chance to prove that I was good enough to be her first and only boyfriend. But seeing her so friendly with the Viktor Krum made me wonder if I was really worth being her only boyfriend — no, I refuse. I am going to prove that I am worthy of loving her. I just need to prove to her that she is the only one for me and that I would only ever truly love her. But I already messed up by bring Cho, maybe I could just leave early and tell Cho that we should just be friends. Hufflepuff reputation of being kind aside, I just wanted my fierce lioness back and hopefully she still wants her ridiculous badger. I turned to face Cho to get it over with because a second more of seeing Krum whispering and giggling with my lioness is starting to cause me to see red and not the good kind like Harriet’s quidditch uniform. As I turned to look at Cho for the fist time since I saw Harriet enter the hallway on Krum’s arm and I see a weird look in her eye, better get this over with, NOW.

Cho’s POV:

Cedric was finally looking at ME. Not that glorified Potter. I don’t get why all the boys seem to be fawning over her. She was pretty sure but usually Potter doesn’t even care to look presentable during school. Unlike me, in which I make sure that I look nothing less than 110%. So when Cedric took his eyes off his horrendous ex, I couldn’t contain my excitement.

“Hey... um... “, why was he being so awkward? Was he going to apologize for ignoring me or maybe even better ask me to be his new girlfriend, I know I would be much better at it than Potter.

Oh! I can already see our future together the wedding, the house and even our-

“I’m going to turn in Cho, I’m pretty tired. Thanks for being such a good friend —“. I couldn’t process anything my dear Cedric said after that.

He wasn’t going to ask me out?! But why?!?! I am literally the most perfect girl for him! It MUST be because he was still under that chit Potter lover spell. Oh my poor Cedric! Don’t worry darling, I will be there when you finally realize that I am truly the one for you. I looked up to see Cedric had an expected face, he was waiting for my response.

“ Don’t worry Cedric you just go back to your dorm and get some rest. Merlin knows you deserve it.” I said with a forced smile on my face. I watched him with concentrated eyes as he walked back to his dorm. Blasted Potter was still on Krum’s arm acting so innocent, if she’s innocent then Snape actually loves Gryffindor.

Draco’s POV:

Blasted Krum, how dare he just show up to my school and think he can have anybody he wants. Potter should be on my arm showing her how much better than Diggory I was. But instead she’s on the arm of that brute. She looked absolutely gorgeous and had a lot of the male population’s eyes on her through out the ball, it just made me want to scream and hex said male population for daring to look at her. I wanted to ask her to the ball since I knew Diggory had asked Cho but word got around that Potter had a mystery date and rejecting any and all invites. It had made me burn with rage that I had originally plotted to hex whoever her date was when they finally showed their stupid face. Seeing as her date turned out to be Krum threw my plan out the bloody window. Damned Krum, my father will hear about this.
