Their Daughter { Ron Weasley x OC}|COMPLETED|

37. Cedric

"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri-wizards cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now as Mr. Diggory..." Dumbledore called out amplifying his voices everyone could hear him. At the mention of Cedric's name the crowd cheered

"and Mr. Potter tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr. Krum..." He stopped again to allow for more cheering before he continued

"The first person to touch the cup will be the winner. I've instructed the staff to patrol the perimeter, if at any point should a contestant wish to withdraw from the task he or she need only send up red sparks with their wands. Contestants, gather round."

"How are you feeling?" Hermione asked from my left as Fred and George leaned over probably wondering the same. Ron sat silently to my right allowing me to nervously grip his hand.

"I'm ok I think... very nervous for the outcome seeing as my dreams have all been different but I'm very ready for this whole thing to be over."

"On the count of three...ONE..." Dumbledore started but was interrupted by Flich setting the cannon off Cedric and Harry both turned to wave at the crowd before entering the maze through different openings then I gasped

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked confused

"I didn't tell him I loved him." I mumbled

"Not to worry!" Fred smiled

"Pretty boy Diggory know you love him!" George continued

"He'd be a bloody fool if he didn't." Ron added with a smile and I nodded

"You're right, you are absolutely right." I mumbled leaning my head on Ron's shoulder

It had been almost two hours. Both Fluer and Viktor had already returned and the nervous knot in my stomach was beginning to make me nauseous.

"Star, are you sure you're alright?" Ron whispered in my ear for the sixth time and I nodded

"I'm ok, just nervous. They both should have been back by now...right?" I whispered back the only answer I received was the way he tightened his grip on my hand

We sat in silence occasionally responding to the conversations around us for the next few minutes then I felt the nervous knot in my stomach explode all the nerves in my body seemed hyper focused on different things, the muscles in my body seemed to tense up all at once and I felt like I was drowning. I couldn't hear anything but my racing heart beat when I felt a new weight around me and my head was pressed to someone's chest. I was desperately trying to be aware of my surroundings and when I attempted to move I could faintly hear Amos' screaming but nothing else

"Star, I need you to breathe. You're ok. It's ok. Listen to my voice." A calming voice whispered directly into my ear as I listened to their heart beat. It was a calming sound. Slowly my surroundings came into view, I was sitting on someone's lap in the entrance hall of the castle.

"Star?" Ron whispered

"He's dead...isn't he?" I asked unphased by how weak my voice sounded

"I'm sorry love." He whispered allowing me to cry into his chest as he ran his fingers through my hair.

I was currently standing outside Dumbledore's office where I was told to wait with Amos and my dads while the headmasters talked.

I didn't speak, I just held Pa's hand and stood silently next to him as we entered the room where the headmasters, Sprout, Snape, Flitwick, and Minnie all stood

"This was a unforeseen-"

"Don't." I snapped looking up at Dumbledore cutting him off

"Star-"

"No! I have been telling you all year! I have been warning you since the cup that this was a bad idea and you didn't listen! You never listen to me until the bad thing happens and I'm sick of it! This is no one's fault but your own! I told you, I warned you bad things would happen and you didn't care!" I yelled lunging forward only for Moo, Amos,and Pa to hold me back as Minnie stood in front of me.

"I understand you're upset-"

"You understand nothing!" Amos yelled loosening his grip just enough for me to break from his hold and shove my fathers away as I stepped towards Dumbledore

"Star!" Minnie snapped and I stopped walking but glared at the man

"Now where was I?" Dumbledore asked as if he'd done nothing wrong.

"Ya know what? Fuck you Albus." I yelled before storming out of his off and walking down the corridor.

🐾🐺🐾

"Password?"

"Can't remember." I said angrily

"Then I'm sorry dear but I can't let you-Star? Oh my Godric Gryffindor you go right ahead." She gasped swinging open and I walked in to see everyone waiting for me inside. There was a moment of silence before Dean stood up holding his arms open and I ran forward crashing into his chest as I cried

"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. 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 as all of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang sat before him. I starred down at me feet as I felt Hermione's hand slip into mine offering reassuring strokes with her thumb.
