Harry Potter Character One Shots.

Cedric

I feel like writing a full Harry Potter universe fic... my fic writing is better than my one shot writing.

Would you read it? Comment and let me know.

Which characters would you like to see in it?

Which era?

Happy/Sad ending?

Cedric sat quietly, his nose buried in a book, focussing on his Divination homework with a frown set on his face. It was needless to say that Cedric was a very clever young man, but the supernatural art was decidedly... not his strong suit. The library had plenty of books to aid him in his work yet after two hours of reading near enough the same thing, he was bored and nothing was sticking in his brain.

"You look stressed Ced," she said as she approached him from behind, hands behind her back with a small smile on her lips as he jumped. She giggled at the shocked look on his face as he held a hand to his chest, where he could feel his rapidly beating heart through his chest plate. "You scared me... just can't get the hang of this, why did somebody have to come up with so many things to read from tea leaves?"

She laughed again, taking his parchment from the table, filling in the information he needed before handing it back to him. "Thank you! I thought I would be here all night, I might have to make sure you're here when I'm doing divination from now on," he chuckled, smiling at the now completed sheet of parchment before him.

"Sounds good to me," she smiled.

"And then, she gave me full marks on that homework and I couldn't help but burst out laughing at Matt's face," Cedric explained over the mugs of butterbeer before them, "Trelawney knew something was up straight away and kept us behind. I managed to bluff my way out of detention but Matt messed up and now he's sat in her room trying to penetrate the veiled mysteries of the future," he wheezed as he laughed at his own impression of Cybil Trelawney, inducing giggles from her as she leaned closer to him to peck him on the lips.

"I'm going to miss you over the holidays, Ced."

"And then Krum did the Wronski feint but the Irish didn't fall for it and they ended up winning... man I wish you were there, what a match," Cedric rambled recounting the Irish victory in the quidditch world cup, a smile on his face. He still held his Irish quidditch jumper tightly in his hand, a memory of his summer holidays, despite the high temperature of the train car. "I wish I could've been there too but we couldn't get tickets, they sold out so fast. Even with dad in the ministry, we couldn't get any!" she replied. He smiled sympathetically and nodded, kissing her cheek and pulling her back to lie against him.

"The Hogwarts champion... CEDRIC DIGGORY!" Dumbledore announced, clapping with the rest of the students. She cheered loudly, slipping her arms around him as he kissed her forehead. He smiled widely and winked at her, before following the headmaster's directions to head through the door behind the teacher's table at the top of the hall.

***

"Come on Ced!" she screamed as he ducked away from the Swedish Shortsnout who had rounded on him as he progressed closer to the prize. Time ticked away as he ducked and rolled and swerved away from the Dragon's fire until finally, he grasped the golden egg in his hand cheering from the quidditch stands. He grinned victoriously as he presented the egg to the crowd before turning to her and blowing her a kiss. She caught it with an eye roll before blowing one back in his direction.

The two of them gasped for air as they reached the surface of the water, Cedric's bubblehead charm wearing off as he pulled her towards the metallic structure that loomed over them with their friends awaiting them with smiles and towels - and thank god because they were freezing. "Our fist champion has arrived back, with Cedric Diggory and his something dear," she smiled at Professor Dumbledore's words, leaning in to kiss Cedric on the cheek lightly. He pulled her closer as they waited for the other champions.

"How long is this going to take? They've been gone for ages..." Ron Weasley murmured from behind her, earning a slap from his father and his friends. Amos Diggory stood beside her, a calloused hand entwined with hers as the father and girlfriend waited with bated breath to see if their Cedric was to win.

And then all of a sudden there was a flash... and a scream... and her world went still.

"Ced..." she whispered as Harry Potter screamed on the floor in front of the crowd.

"CED!" she screamed as she pushed through the crowd pulling Amos behind her.

"Ced" she sobbed as she fell to the floor beside Harry, wrapping her arm around him whilst she stroked her soulmate's hair, as Amos screamed "my boy" in agony and as Harry James Potter told the world that their worst nightmares had come true.

"He's back."

"Harry..." she whispered as she approached him after Dumbledore's speech to the school in the Great Hall. She placed a comforting hand on his shoulder as he looked up at her from his seat. "How are you holding up?" she asked. He smiled, although he looked like he was in immense pain, "shouldn't I be asking you that?" he asked.

She shook her head, "I didn't see what you did Harry, but I want you to know that I believe you... and I wanted to thank you for bringing him back." He nodded solemnly, patting the space beside him for her to sit down, to which she obliged.

"He wanted me to tell you something... when we were in the grave yard, and Voldemort-" she flinched at the name, "and Voldemort's wand broke, I saw him. And my mother and father but... Cedric asked me to bring his body back and to... to tell you to look in the pocket of your favourite jacket. I-I don't know what's in there but... he was insistent that I told you."

She smiled, and patted his shoulder again, hugging him slightly, before journeying off to find Cedric's jacket.

She pulled it out and breathed out a sob.

A ring sat in her palm, and the note attached read:

"I love you,

you are my end and my beginning,

and one day,

I will replace this with a ring that will bind us forever.

Ced x"

It's sad but I like this one :)
