Summary: You are reunited with your boyfriend Cedric after the third task of the Triwizard Tournament.  

Warnings: Cedric doesn't die in the graveyard

Author's Note: This was requested by Polli2123. Also, I have been hyper-fixating on Anthony Lockwood because let's be honest there's not enough content for him on here and I am writing a book for him that probably won't be published. But anyway onto the imagine and sorry this is so late tonight. 

I walk in the crowd of students as we all walk down the Quidditch Pitch, I feel nerves filling my stomach and I feel nauseous. I was sorted into Gryffindor but my boyfriend Cedric was in Hufflepuff. Throughout the tournament, I decided to cheer for both Harry and Cedric. 

I make my way into the stands and see Hermione waving me over. She pulled me into a hug, the two of us had grown closer during this school year because we had been helping Harry learn advanced spells. We talk for a few minutes before the band starts to play an upbeat tune as the participants make their way into the center of the stands. 

First are Cedric and Harry who have the lead. I watch as Cedric scans the crowd before making eye contact with me, we give each other a subtle nod as he and Harry take their places at the start of the maze. Cedric's dad gives him a tight hug and I feel bad for Harry who doesn't have anyone. The cannon goes off and they're both disappearing into the maze.  

They're in there for about five minutes before Krum and Fleur go in after them and no all that's left to do is wait. Nothing exciting happens for about half an hour until we see red sparks fly up from somewhere in the maze. Someone was in trouble. I feel my leg start to bounce and Hermione takes my hand. Through the shadows by the entrance of the maze, two figures approach and once they're in the main part of the stadium I see it's Fleur being supported by Professor McGonagall. 

Fleur is taken to Madam Pomfrey and I let out a sigh of relief knowing it wasn't Cedric or Harry. Everyone waits in anticipation for something to happen and it isn't long before another set of red sparks is sent up. Everyone is practically holding their breath as Krum is being led out of the maze. It's now down to Harry and Cedric. 

It's been over an hour since Harry and Cedric had gone into the maze. I feel dread settling in my body and know something isn't right. The minutes tick by slowly until there's a disturbance in the air and the next thing I know Harry and Cedric are in the middle of the stands. 

Immediately everyone jumps up and starts cheering. It takes me a moment to realize that Cedric still hasn't moved. I quickly make my way down from the stands and over to him and Harry. I see that Cedric is breathing. 

I ask Harry breathlessly, "What happened?" 

I see his face darken before replying, "He hit his head." I feel like he's not saying something but I don't press him. 

I follow Cedric to the hospital wing and pull a chair up by his bed and take a seat. At some point, I nod off but am woken by a groan. I open my eyes and see Cedric attempting to sit up. I quickly move from my position and push him back down into a lying position. He asks in a hoarse voice, "How long was I out?" 

I run my hand over his hair as I say, "Only a few hours. But what happened?" 

I watch as he hesitates before he asks, "How much did Harry tell you?" 

I reply, "Not much just that you hit your head." Cedric nods before he says, "I'll tell you later when we're alone okay?" 

I nod in agreement and I take in Cedric's appearance and see he looks like he saw something in that maze. I cherish this quiet moment with him not knowing it would be our last one for a while.
