It was now the next day after the third task. I didn't get sleep at all last night. I was kept on crying and crying. When I got out of my bed, Angelina and Alicia were both at my side. They were both in their robes, already ready for Cedric's funeral that was being held today in the Great Hall.
They helped me get to the bathroom where Angelina brushed my hair through and Alicia was using my concealer to cover up my red, puffy, baggy eyes due to crying all night along. "What would I do without you two?" I asked the girls with a bit of cheer in my voice, however it was very faint and almost like there was none at all.
Angelina, Alicia and I all walked back down to the common room. Everyone was silent, a tension was in the air. I saw that Fred, George and Lee were all sitting down at the couches. When Fred saw me, he rushed over to me and hugged me tightly.
"Darling, I can still see your puffy, red eyes. I am so sorry." Fred whispered into my ear as we were clinging onto each other. I almost started crying again as we were embracing each other. "I feel like I should be the one to blame." I started to cry into his chest.
Fred rubbed my back soothingly. "Love, please don't blame yourself, you can't help what happened, no one can, he is safe now though, and I know for a fact that Cedric wouldn't want to see you like this, he would want you to be happy, be happy for Cedric. I know that it will take a while, you need to cope, but once you have done coping, he would want one of his best friends to be happy." Fred whispered into my ear.
I pulled away from the hug and kissed his cheek weakly as I was still really upset over what happened to Cedric last night.

"Today we acknowledge a really terrible loss. Cedric Diggory was as you all know, exceptionally hard working, intricately fair minded. And most importantly a fierce fierce friend. I think therefore you have the right to know exactly how he died. You see, Cedric Diggory was murdered by Lord Voldemort." Dumbledore said to the crowd of people in the great hall as we were all acknowledging him. Cho and I were sat beside each other, crying on each other's shoulders.
"The ministry of magic does not wish me to tell you this. But not to do so I think would be an insult to his memory. Now the pain we all feel at this dreadful loss reminds me, reminds us that while we may come from different places and speak in different tongues, our hearts beat as one. In light of recent events the bonds of friendship we made this year will be more important than ever. Remember that and Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain, you remember that. And we'll celebrate a boy who was kind and honest and brave and true right to the very end." Dumbledore said.
All the fun times that Cedric and I had with each other just kept flowing back into my mind. The night of the Yule Ball, before Fred and I got into the fight, was amazing. Cedric and I danced together right in front of the whole school, smiling and having fun with each other.
I remember when I would help Cedric out with the tasks and how we would always fool around. He was very funny and always made me laugh. Cedric always cheered me up whenever I was sad or mad, no matter what I was feeling, Cedric was always there for me.
He was one of my best friends and always will be.

Everyone was now saying goodbye to each other. Fleur came up to me and hugged me tightly. "I hope that we will see each other again, I am getting a job at Gringotts to improve my English." Fleur said with her thick French accent. "That's amazing, I hope we will see each other again as well." I stated.
Fleur smiled and hugged me one last time before going over to Harry and Ron. I smiled to myself, I am glad that Fleur and I became friends. Hermione and Ginny came over to me next. The two of them hugged me tightly.
"Y/N, are you sure that you are alright?" Hermione questioned. I nodded my head even though, to be honest, I am dead on the inside. "Oh Y/N." Ginny took me in her arms, "I am so sorry what happened, don't blame yourself, you can't help what happened."

Everyone was now back on the train to Hogwarts. Fred, George and Lee were all talking in our compartment while I just remained silent, looking out the window and thinking of Cedric. It was our second last year, Cedric should still be here.
I sighed and looked back at my three best friends. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone right now and the three of them understood that. Fred and George were showing off the money that Harry gave to the twins to Lee.
Fred seemed to notice that I wasn't in a good mood right now, I was honestly ready to break at any moment. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly while George and Lee were looking at me with sympathetic looks on their faces.
After Fred broke away from the hug that lasted about two minutes, George and Lee came over and hugged me tightly. Getting hugs from my boyfriend and best friends helped a bit even though I was still sad.
When I get home, all I want to do is go up to my room and cry. Maybe my dads will help me feel better. They probably will, those two always know how to cheer me up whenever I am sad.

We all finally got to Kings Cross Station, it's sad to think that next year will be my last time stepping off of the train. I will miss Hogwarts when I graduate for sure. It really does feel like my home, so when I am no longer going there, will for sure make me sad.
Fred and I stepped off of the train, hand in hand with each other. We walked up to where Dad was, my birth dad still didn't have his name cleared so he couldn't be here. Dad saw how Fred and I were holding hands with each other.
He smiled and nodded his head. "Make sure to take care of her Freddie." Dad said and I laughed which made my mood cheer up a bit. "Of course Remus, I love her so much, I promise to take care of her." Fred said which made me blush. "I have to get going now, love you Y/N." Fred said walking away. "Bye Freddie!" I exclaimed. "Bye darling, make sure to write." He said and I nodded my head.
Dad and I apparated back to the cottage where my other dad was waiting for me. Dad took me in his arms, to which I melted into the hug. "I am so sorry to what happened about your friend Cedric Y/N." He whispered into my hair.
"It's fine, Cedric would want me to be happy, not sad, it will take some time to get over, however I know that he is in a better place." I stated. My other dad came over and hugged us. The three of us embraced each other, I felt some tears trickle my eyes, threating to pool out.
Stay strong for Ced. I tell myself.
