Expecto Patronum || Cedric Diggory x Hufflepuff Female Reader

Popularity is not for the faintest of hearts. While surrounded by people y/n Freeman cannot help but feel alone sometimes. That is until third year when a Hufflepuff boy in her year by the name of Cedric Diggory sweeps her off her feet and graces her life.

They enter their fifth year of Hogwarts as best friends. However, this year, everything is about to change.

The stress of her father's Ministry work, due to recent events, has sent his already severe volatile personality over the edge. Over the summer, her abusive family situation becomes worse than ever before and it becomes hard to hide the torture of home underneath her robes.

Moreover, the deemed suspect of the murder of 12 muggles, Sirius Black, has escaped from Azkaban prison. His escape has left the whole wizarding world in a frenzy with dementors being sent all over the Hogwarts grounds, protecting the third year, Harry Potter. This year, fifth years including herself and Cedric need to learn to master the patronus charm. Is this spell the key to sealing the match made in heaven?

Note: I do not own Cedric or Hogwarts. Most of the other characters besides Cedric and others in the series were from my own imagination. Thank you guys so much for reading!

This is a wholesome book! I'm not interested in writing any smut or swearing so if that's why you're here you might as well clear out now.
