Hufflepuff boy - Cedric Diggory x male oc x Viktor Krum

76

With a great whoosh, Harry and the others tumble onto solid earth and hear the crash of waves. As Harry staggers to his feet, stars whirl above him. He sees he is on a cliff overlooking a dark sea. Ron holds Hermione gently, her eyes are wide with fear.

"It's all right, Hermione. You're safe. We're all safe." Harry said.

"Harry..."

Harry turns and looks at his twin brother, eyes widening at the sight of Bellatrix's dagger in Cayden's abdomen. "Cayden." He said, rushing towards Cayden and Dobby, who is kneeling next to the Hufflepuff. He takes Cayden into his arms, placing him on his lap as he sits down on the ground.

"I'm gonna go call for Bill, he'll know what to do." Harry heard Ron said, hearing fast footsteps running away from them to the cottage in the distance.

"Are you alright?" Harry asked, looking at the dagger and wondering what to do to help him.

"I'll be fine." Cayden said, taking a deep breath with a wince. "It's a non-lethal wound, won't kill me." He said, looking down at the dagger in his abdomen. His shirt is slowly turning red from the blood, the blood would be darker if he pulled it out.

"Just need to wait for Bill, that's all." Harry said, looking up at Cayden's face. He only looks up when he heard footsteps approaching and sees Luna, Cedric, Viktor and Bill.

Viktor was the one to moves towards Cayden, kneeling down on the opposite side of Harry. He looks up at Cayden as he moves him to lay down on the ground. "I need to pull out the dagger." He said to Cayden, who nodded at him.

Viktor takes a deep breath to calm himself down and grips the handle with his hand and pulls it out, taking out his wand and quickly starts mending to Cayden's wound. When he was done, he looks up at Harry who didn't move from where he is kneeling down on and nodded, telling him he is fine. Everyone sighs out a relief at that.

As Bill fills a kettle, Luna taps the wind chime hanging in the window and a ghostly refrain fills the room.

"It's beautiful here." Luna said.

"It was our Aunt's. We used to come here as kids. The Order uses it now as a safe house -- what's left of us, at least." Bill said.

Luna ponders this, then taps the chime again. "Muggles think these keep evil away. But they're wrong..."

Bill studies her curiously. Then Harry appears in the doorway with Cayden, Ron and Hermione.

"I need to talk to the goblin." Harry said.

A knock sounds. Griphook turns, watches Bill push open the door, steps aside for Cayden, Harry, Ron and Hermione. Harry waits for Bill to withdraw before turning to Griphook.

"How are you?" Harry asked.

"Alive." Griphook answered.

"You probably don't remember--"

"-- that I showed you to your first vault the first time you visited Gringotts? Even amongst goblins, you are famous, Harry Potter." Griphook said. "And brought me here." He said, studying him curiously. "You are a very unusual wizard."

"Why did you leave Gringotts?" Harry asked.

"Soon the Death Eaters will control it. That was unacceptable to me." Griphook said.
