Cassopiea Victoria Potter, known as pia, returns from the graveyard shattered by Voldemort's return and Cedric Diggory's tragic death. As summer unfolds, an unexpected discovery rocks her world-she's pregnant. Her aunt Petunia, strict and unsympathe...
Cassopiea awoke to Kreacher’s soft murmurings in the early morning light. His presence, though always slightly eerie, was a comfort in the quiet of Grimmauld Place. “Miss Pia, it’s time for your tea,” he said gently.
With a groan, Cassopiea pushed herself upright in bed, feeling the weight of sleepless nights and unresolved grief pressing upon her. As she rubbed her eyes, Kreacher placed a delicate china cup into her hands. The tea was warm, its steam a small comfort against the chill that seemed to linger in her heart.
As she sipped the tea, her gaze fell upon a small, unassuming package on her bedside table. She furrowed her brow in curiosity. “What’s this, Kreacher?” she asked, her voice tinged with a mixture of apprehension and hope.
Kreacher’s eyes sparkled with a hint of mystery. “It arrived this morning, Miss Pia. It’s addressed to you. It’s from Lord Diggory.”
Cassopiea’s heart skipped a beat. Amos Diggory, Cedric’s father. The name alone was enough to stir a whirlpool of emotions within her. She carefully opened the package, revealing a letter sealed with the Diggory family crest. Her hands trembled as she broke the seal and unfolded the parchment.
The letter was written in a formal, yet heartfelt tone:
Dear Miss Potter,
I hope this letter finds you in some semblance of peace. It is with a heavy heart that I write to you regarding my late son Cedric. As you know, Cedric cared deeply for you and would have cared deeply for your your unborn child. I know because, another empty portrait has recently sprouted up on our family tree.
It is with this in mind that I invite you to the reading of Cedric’s will, to be held at Gringotts Wizarding Bank. The reading will take place today, and I would be honored if you could attend. Cedric’s wishes must be respected, and as you were an important part of his life, it is only fitting that you are present.
I understand that this may be a painful experience, but it is also an opportunity to honor Cedric’s memory and to ensure that his final wishes are carried out.
Please let me know if you will be able to attend.
Sincerely,
Amos Diggory

Cassopiea felt tears prick at the corners of her eyes. The thought of facing Cedric’s family and reliving the pain of his loss was daunting. Yet, she knew she had to be there. She had a responsibility to Cedric and their unborn child, and she wanted to honor his memory.

Sirius, who had been quietly observing her, noticed the distress in her eyes. Without a word, he sat beside her and wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulders. “I’ll come with you, Pia. We’ll face it together,” he said softly.
