I'll Still Love You Tomorrow | Harry J. Potter

Where The Hell Is Cedric

Haylee gathered everyone in the common room (excluding Ginny). She had a big announcement. The last person, Daphne, walked in and took a seat next to Ron. Haylee looked between sad and confident to announce the news, which threw everyone off.

"So you're probably wondering why I've gathered everyone here so late..." Haylee began.

"Is it good news or bad news?" Asked Blaise.

"Depends how you take it," she answered. "So, I found some distant relatives in America on my mom's side. Anyway, what I'm saying is; I'm leaving."

"What? Why?" Theo asked sadly.

"Well, you all know I never wanted to use my magic abilities, and I was practically forced to come here, so this is my chance to finally get the life I want," Haylee smiled. "I'll come to visit during holidays, and I'll be here half of the summer."

"When are you leaving?" Harry asked.

"I'm gonna finish this year out, and I won't return next year."

"Well, I'm happy that you're finally getting what you want, kinda depressed that means you leaving, though," he frowned.

"Don't be depressed. You look like you're in good hands here." She shifted her gaze to Melody.

"Are you going to tell Ginny?" Draco questioned.

"She'll find out," Haylee replied bitterly. Haylee saw Crabbe and Goyle staring at something on the wall. "Did you really have to bring them here?"

"They're only here to protect me from those two!" He pointed to Hermione and Harry, who were sitting next to each other.

"It was once, Malfoy!" Harry complained.

"No, it was not!" Draco objected. "You challenged me on a broom in the first year, Granger called me an idiot, you scored me detention in the forbidden forest in the second year, Granger kneed me the following year, you told me to shut up in the third year, Granger punched me in my beautiful face. So I'd say I need protection."

Theo burst out laughing. "Did you just call your face beautiful?" He was on the verge of tears from the laughter. "I don't even like you, Granger, but thank you."

"Okay, so maybe it wasn't just once..." Harry concluded.

"Mhm."

"We're totally throwing a going away party!" Daphne said excitedly.

"Did someone say-" one of the Weasley twins began.

"-Party!" The other one finished.

Haylee jumped. "Oh my Merlin, you scared me!"

"We have that effect on people," said who she assumed to be Fred.

"You're Fred, right?"

"Nope. I'm George."

"Sorry," she whispered.

"Just kidding! I am Fred!"

"Very funny," Haylee chuckled. "Okay, you all can get some sleep now. I know you're dying too."

"Sleep in my dorm tonight?" Asked Harry.

"Sure."

The two climbed the steps to the boy dormitory. Once they made it to Harry's dorm, they kicked off their shoes and laid on the bed. She rested her head in the crook of his neck, and he drew shapes on her back.

Melody woke up in the middle of the night with a gasp. Harry woke up shortly after. Harry groaned slightly and kissed Melody's cheek.

"You're still awake?"

"I just woke up. Sorry if I woke you."

"It's fine. Did you have a nightmare? You only wake up like this if you do." Harry reached to his nightstand to put on his glasses

"Yeah, it's nothing."

"That doesn't seem like nothing."

"It was the night of Cedric's death. They stopped in the summer, but now they're back," Melody frowned.

Harry was in deep thought before he replied. "What were Lucious's last words before dying?"

"Um, that's random, but they were something along the lines of 'you are a target.'"

"Right. The day you were missing, Hermione told everyone that many people were looking for you to get your magic or to get Leo's ability to make others immortal," said Harry.

"Okay...? What does that have to do with anything?"

"That girl at the wedding, Maria, do you know who her mother is?"

"No."

"Bellatrix Lestrange. One of the most heartless witches I've ever seen."

"Harry, where are you going with this?"

"Mrytle told me she smelled a polyjuice potion one night. Melody, I think Maria was trying to give us a warning."

"A warning?" Melody questioned while furrowing her eyebrows. "For what?"

"What her mother's planning. Bellatrix is Cedric. She's using a polyjuice potion to get closer to you. That means the real Cedric is alive. You have to have the hairs of the person you're impersonating. And that does answer why Cedric was so awkward with you."

Melody sat up. "Her name is not Maria; it's Malia. When Cedric was fourteen, he spent the whole summer in Italy, and he met a girl named Malia. That has to be it. And that's why you saw something when you touched her!" She concluded. "But Bellatrix is with my dad right now... what am I supposed to do?"

"She's not going to do anything unless she wants her identity exposed. I think you should just write to Leo and Dahlia and see what they say," Harry suggested. "Knowing them, they've probably just figured it out."

"So, then, I guess the real question is, where the hell is Cedric?"

Don't hate me for making Haylee's character go away or whatevea
