We're Falling, But We're Invinceble (Cedric Diggory)

It was the last competition in the Triwizzard Tournament. I was in the front row in the stands cheering on my boyfriend, Cedric Diggory. My best friend, Allister, beside me. We were all decked out in the hufflepuff colors, right down to my socks. Cedric was standing in front of the maze talking to his dad, waiting for competition to start.

"Cedric!" I screamed over all the noise. Surprisingly he heard me. He turned around and looked right at me. He blew me a kiss that I instantly returned. He winked and turned around, awaiting the start. I will admit I was terrified. I had heard nasty rumors of what the kids heard was going to be in the maze.

"Paulie?" yelled Allister over the noise, he put a hand on my shoulder. I hadn't even noticed I was shaking. "Paulette?" he tried again.

"Oh" I said "huh?"

"He's going to be fine. He's a fighter. He's going to win this thing, then he's going to get all that money! Then he can spoil you and the baby just like he said!" He exclaimed. Then he gave my stomach a light pat.

Yep. You heard him right. I Paulette Emmerich, was pregnant with Cedric Diggory's baby.

BANG.

The compitition had started. I spun around just in time to see Cedric run into the tall hedges of the maze. He looked back one last time and gave me that dazzling grin I loved.

Two hours. Two hours and Cedric still wasn't back. After twenty minutes people had started getting bored, but everyone wanted to see the winner. There were various games of wizard Chess and Snapping cards going on in the bleachers. Me, I just started at the maze, absent mindedly rubbing my swelled belly. Allister had walked off to talk to one of his other friends just a couple minutes ago.

Suddenly there was commotion on the field. Then there was screaming. I pushed past people on the bench and stood on the stairs leading to the field. I heard Harry Potter screaming and yelling, and...sobbing? I couldn't take it anymore I needed to know what happened! I ran down onto the field.

"Don't let the children down here!" someone yelled.

"Paulette!" yelled Allister behind me. He sounded distraught, had he seen something I haven't?

The rest was a blur. Cedric. Harry Potter sobbing over his body. Me hugging his lifeless body. Someone yelling for someone to take me. Then Allister pulling me away as they took Cedric away. My Cedric.

Then I remember the baby.

The baby that was due any day now.

Cedric's baby.
