10 years later- (hermione is 83years old here and Cedric 86)

Hermione hasn't been quiet right for weeks. We have been in and out of hospitals. It is breaking my heart to see her like this. She looks so thin and frail. Very pale and weak. Still very delicate, but not in the nice flower way, more like she will crumble at any given moment. I insisted I was fit enough to look after her; and I am. I will do anything for her. Although I must admit  it is proving to be very difficult. At first we were not sure what was wrong. We had many test done. First they thought her blood sugar levels were too low then too High, next it was sodium levels, then it was mini strokes and finally we found out she had vascular dementia and Alzheimers. I'm glad we know what it is, but it hurts me Because there is nothing I can do to help her. Everyday I fear, she will forget who I am. "Hermione dear, I brought your breakfast" I said carrying in a bowl of porridge and a tea. "I can't have breakfast now, we will be late! They need me at work, there has been a huge uproar." She snapped "hermione, today is Saturday love, you do not work on Saturdays" I said gently. "No it doesn't matter, they need me!" Hermione was agitated. I struggled when she was like this, I didn't know what to say or do. "You don't need to worry, I've just come off the phone, they said everything is under control, the moment they need you they will call" I said. Her expression relaxed "they better, can't do anything right, that bunch of idiots. Now id like my toast" Hermione replied. "It's porridge dear is that all right?" I said "even better" hermione smiled and for a split second she was the old hermione.

It went on like this for weeks, only it was getting worse. I woke up at 3:34am to the sound of the bedroom door slamming shut. I knew hermione was off somewhere. I rushed as fast as my old feeble legs would let me. "Hermione, is that you?" I called "yes, of course it's me, I need to get to the shop, we don't have bread and the kids need sandwiches for their lunch" she replied. "Its very late, you know and very cold you don't want to be going out now, how about we go in the morning. Together" I replied getting ahold of her hand gently. "No no no, I have to go now. They need them in the morning." Hermione replied angrily. "It is late, how about we go back to bed and I promise I will go in the morning as soon as the shops are open" I replied steering her back towards the bedroom. Hermione tutted "I suppose that will have to do". We both shuffled back to bed. I cried when I go into bed,I love her so much and I want to be there for her, but how much more can I take, i am beginning to struggle myself. But she is my wife and She needs me.

1 week later.
"I promise I'll be back soon, these very nice people are going to take care of you for a few days. I will come and see you everyday. Just remember you are safe here." I told hermione. She was in a care home for people with Alzheimers .  "Mum,  you'll be better here. We all love you. And these lovely ladies are going to help you. Whatever you need you call on them" ivy said. Jude and ivy saw how much  looking after Hermione took its toll on me, and decided this was best for both of us. It broke my heart but deep down I knew it was best. "Chris don't leave me here." Hermione said gripping onto my hand. A single tear rolled down my cheek. She didn't even know my name anymore. "It is what is best for you dear. I will come tomorrow and how about I bring your favourite book and read it to you?" I replied.  She smiled for the first time in ages "I would like that. You know you remind me of my husband, cedric. I wish he was here, I love him ever so much. If you do see him tell him to come see me." Hermione replied. "As soon as I do I'll let him know. Goodbye dear" I gave her a kiss on the cheek and we left.

When we got out ivy and Jude both burst into tears. "It is truly awful to see her like that" ivy said. "So heartbreaking, I hope they take good care of her" Jude replied. I looked at both of them. "This is the best place for her, weather she remembers me or not I shall go there everyday until I can't no more. You guys have done a lot. Thank you. But you have your own families now, go home I'll be fine" I insisted "are you sure dad? It's been a pretty big day, especially for you" Jude said. "Yes I'm sure. Keep safe" I replied. "I'll take you home" ivy said.
We arrived home, ivy got me settled with a tea and my favourite old cowboy film; paint the wagon.

The next day I was up and ready by 10, I did a little bit of gardening and then walked down to the care home it was only 15 minutes down the road. I arrived and asked how she was. "She was a little restless to begin with, but after a couple of hours she settled a bit more" the career-said. "Thanks for letting me know, can I go in?" I asked "of course. She is by the window" Jane the career replied. I walked towards her, she was looking at the birds "hello, Hermione" I said sitting beside her . She looked confused for a moment. "It's Cedric, I've come to see you and I brought your book" I said. Her eyes lit up. "I am so glad to see you. I never thought you'd come" she replied. "It is a nice day, how about we sit outside and I'll read to you?" I questioned "that sounds nice" hermione replied "do you know what your favourite book is?"I asked "big fish" hermione said simply.
I did this everyday. I would go at 2pm and stay till 4pm. After a few weeks she had no idea who I was, she thought of me as the man who read to her. She would always say things like. "You're very handsome" or "you reminded me of my husband" however that was followed by "sadly he died" I don't know where she got this from but i dare not say anything encase this upset her. 

| a few months later.|
It was Tuesday i arrived at my usual time 2pm, however they looked like they were in a panic. One lady rushed to the door, "good thing you're here. It is hermione, she has been unresponsive for an hour. Her breathing is shallow. She looks very grey and pale. Ambulance is on their way" Jane said. "I tried to call but mine was dead" she added "I'm here now, don't worry" i said. Within minutes the ambulance arrived.

Ivy Jude and I followed in the car. When we arrived we were
greeted by dr FOX, "mr diggory, she is responsive now, but I am afraid it is not good news, I suggest you say your goodbyes" he said sadly putting a comforting hand on my shoulder. "You go, we will be in, in a minuet" ivy said. I walked into her room and sat on the chair next to her. She opened her eyes slowly as I held her hand. She smiled softly. "I never thought you'd come" she said breathlessly "I'm sorry, I am here now. I need you to know how much I love you." I replied. "I know" she smiled. Jude and ivy came in. "Hey mum" ivy said. Hermione again smiled "i love you mum" Jude followed "we all do and will miss you so much" he added "goodbye. I love you" ivy said. Hermione managed to wave slight and whispered "I love you too" back.  They gave me a reassuring smiled and left. I could see hermione was in deep discomfort. It broke my heart to say but it had to be done, "you can let go if you want, you will happier and will be in a lot less pain, and I promise I will see you very soon" I said she squeezed my hand weakly, whispered "I'll wait for you" and I watched as the life rushed from her body. All that was left was a sleeve her soul had been put into. I cried and cried and i didn't stop, until 2 months later.
When I died- most likely form a broken heart.

Dying isn't as bad as I thought, it didn't hurt it was quick and painless. Just like sirius once said. I'm not sure what happened the last few months of my life. All I know is it wasn't nice. The last voice I heard was my husbands cedirc. It always calmed me and when he told me to let go, I wasn't afraid anymore. Heaven isn't what you'd expect. It is just like the world we live on, but for ghost, I suppose Heaven is down to your own interpretation, but I like mine. Bonus I recognised a face as soon as I got there, it was rons. He knew who I was and said he'd watched out for me and Harry and had been waiting. "63 years is a long time to wait"I told him. "I know", he said "but I have nothing but time". It was strange the concept of time wasn't  really a thing here, what felt like minuets could've been days. Not long later I head this voice it was cedric, he had finally joined us. "I told you I'd see you soon" he said. "I promised I'd wait for you" I replied.

I finally finished. I'm super sad i finished it but I didn't wanna drag it on. The ending is very sad. I'm sorry 😔 thanks for reading this anyway peeps ✌🏼✌🏼💕💕
