The Return of Cedric Diggory

Chapter 15: The Truth

Harry's voice was trembling as Edwards face appeared. "He's alive.. I found out when I arrived at my new school.. you can't freak out okay? Nor tell anyone it's not safe for anyone to know.." you mutter to the trio as their mouths hang open. Ron was more afraid of Embry then the fact Cedric was in fast alive. "H-how is it possible?!" Hermione stutters "I'm a vampire.." he answers "I don't feed on people though.. I'm safe to be around I promise" he assures them. "I-is she one too?" Harry asks pointing to Bella "ah no she's a plain old muggle" They nod "That makes sense" Hermione replies "Now come one we have to go! We can't hid everyone under the cloak so act like normal students. Y/n, Harry, Ron and I have to stay hidden. Good luck." Hermione explains "Actually Hermione I should stay, Cedric should come with you. If I get caught I'll just say I transferred back, but if someone sees Cedric it will be chaos" you add and she agrees "Right come on Cedric" he squeezes under the cloak with you Embry and Bella right behind them.

You made it to the entrance of the room of requirement when Snape comes down the hall. "Y/n is that you?" "H-hey professor. Good to see you again" you reply "What are you doing here?" He questions skeptically "Well uhm I kinda transferred back awhile ago but I wasn't able to make it till recently" you lie but he believes it "Well go get settled in before I have to take points from Gryffindor" even though you were in Gryffindor Snape was remotely nice to you when he wanted to. You act like you're going to the dorms but sneak off into the entrance with Embry and Bella behind you.

Harry and the others were already waiting for you guys. "Sorry Snape held us up" you call out "Snape?!" Harry almost shouts "Shh Harry!" Hermione snaps "It's fine he didn't say much" some of Dumbledore's army appear from all entrances. Ginny, Neville, Luna , Dean, Lavender, Seamus, both Weasley twins and Katie bell. Hermione quickly hides Cedric under the cloak. "Y/n!" They come and hug you. "Y/n do you have my shirt?" Embry appears from the shadows where he remained shirtless from his transformation. All the girls immediately turn pink, except Luna "What lovely markings you have.." she points to the tattoos on his arm "Thank you" he smiles while Hermione and Ginny blush furiously and Ron and Harry look intimidated. You reach in your bag and pull out a shirt "Now hurry up we have some planing to do" you snap

After hours of planning everyone becomes tired. Ginny and the others had to go to their dorms to not look suspicious. "We will leave tomorrow morning.. at sunrise" Hermione mutters before drifting to sleep.

The next morning it was still dark outside but the sun was beginning to peak out. You and Hermione were the first ones awake. "Come on everyone up!" Hermione begins to shake everyone awake. "Let's get a move on" you add and Hermione packs the cloak and many other things while everyone wakes up slowly. You all quickly run off into the forbidden forest where no one could see you. "Okay Bella you and Edward can follow us" Embry then transforms into his wolf form "Now he's fast so we have to hold on tightly" you explain. You help the others onto Embry's back. "Are you sure you can carry all of us?" He nods and you quickly jump to the front. Harry wraps his arms around your waist as Hermione and Ron follow. "This is so weird.." Ron mutters as Embry begins to run. Ron turns his head to see Cedric running full speed with Bella on his back "Wicked.."

Embry begins to whimper uncontrollably, looking in every direction when all of a sudden Cedric goes towards a new path. "Y/n what's going on?" Hermione asks "He senses something.. I don't know what to-" all of a sudden you hear spell being casted towards you guys as Embry speeds up and dodges each one. "They found us!" Harry yells "Embry slow down we need to get off" you whisper in his ear as he slows to a jog "Okay run in every direction to distract them, Embry you run as far away from them as possible. Their spells can hit you from far distance it's best to be safe, you can find us later" you explain and one by one Ron jumps off, then Hermione, next Harry and finally you. Each of you spilt up as the other wizards catch up. You begin exploding things around you but that didn't stop them until Embry came back for you. He grabbed you by you shirt and threw you onto his back "I told you not to come back!" You snap when one spell doesn't miss and you and Embry go tumbling into the ground and everything goes dark..
