🎞️:Harry Potter And The Order Of The Pheonix-
💌:Harry Potter x Fem!Diggory!OC
The summer after Cedric Diggory dies, Carla Diggory learns that grief doesn't arrive quietly-it settles in the spaces between conversations, in unopened letters, in a house that no longer feels like home. Her father is certain about what happened, and the world seems certain too. Only Carla is not.
Not entirely.
Because Harry Potter is not a murderer. At least, she doesn't think he is. But belief is a fragile thing when it is constantly questioned, and even certainty begins to blur when everyone around you is so sure of the opposite.
When Carla returns to Hogwarts for her fifth year, nothing is as simple as it once was. Harry is no longer just another classmate she trusts without thinking. He is a question she can't stop asking herself, and a silence she doesn't know how to break.
Harry, meanwhile, doesn't know what she believes. Only that something has shifted between them, and that whatever it is, neither of them knows how to name it.
As whispers grow louder and the truth becomes harder to hold onto, Carla finds herself caught between what she feels, what she is told, and what she is afraid to believe.
Because in a year where nothing feels stable, even the smallest distance between two people who used to understand each other might be the most dangerous thing of all.
