[HP] In love with a Cedric

The two warriors of Hogwarts were the first wave to enter.

Cedric's face today showed several times more determination than usual, and the black and yellow sportswear he wore looked different.

Harry Potter stood beside him, tense and expectant.

"Thank you for the lemon sorbet and zizi honey candy, Professor Dumbledore." Cedric said suddenly before entering the maze.

Dumbledore frowned on the referee's seat. This sentence seemed to contain some other emotion, which made his heart tighten - have I ever asked him to eat this?

Today's Cedric seems to be calm and somewhat unpredictable

But before he could think about it, Cedric and Harry Potter were already standing side by side at the entrance of the maze.

Amidst the loud whistle, the people in the stands cheered, and the whistle and the names of the warriors gathered into a huge din.

Cedric took a deep look back and rushed into the maze quickly.

The uproar stopped immediately.

Inside, it was as quiet as another world.

All sounds were blocked, and it seemed that light could not penetrate.

After all, this is a regular game and cannot be influenced by the outside world.Cedric thought, and whispered a fluorescent flash, illuminating the dark road under the shadow of the hedge the year before last.

Harry Potter walked a little ahead of him, still tensing up cautiously.

They walked to a fork in the road together and looked at each other.

Potter's green eyes were like emeralds in the dark, and Cedric walked away from him knowingly.

"Goodbye." Potter said, and went straight into the left lane: "Good luck."

He heard the whistle again—two other warriors were coming in one after another.

Cedric walked very slowly, he was not in a hurry, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through the foggy darkness ahead.

"Show me the way." He whispered softly, like whispering to a lover.

The wand turned and pointed west.

Suddenly there was a crackling sound in front, Cedric cautiously grabbed his wand and walked towards the slightly open space in front——

The disgusting rancid smell first attacked his nasal cavity.

A gigantic, strange creature popped out of its head, and charged at Cedric the moment he moved.

It had a hook on its huge tail, and thorns on the armor on its back, and it crawled over with an indescribably strange posture.

"There are many obstacles!"

This spell is not very useful, or this scorpion-like creature is not afraid of such a weak offensive spell because of its rough skin and thick flesh. Its tail spewed flames and burned Cedric's arm.

The severe pain spread.

Calm down, he told himself.

"All petrochemical! There are many obstacles!"

While running away in the direction he had planned, he turned his head and cast off the two combined spells.

The big scorpion was shaken by the curse and raised its body, revealing its unprotected belly——

"Passed out!"

Cedric took the big scorpion into a brief coma and ran away.

He met Potter again.

"Be careful over there, there is a huge scorpion, I don't know its name." He saw Potter raising his wand warily, so he explained aloud.

He even raised his burned arm to prove that he wasn't lying.

"That's a snail, Hagrid's," Potter explained behind him, and the two continued walking in different directions.

After a short period of peace, Cedric heard piercing screams piercing the tranquility of the maze.

It must be Fleur—such a shrill female voice.

Rest assured, he breathed a sigh of relief.He said to himself, if he can do it, why can't you do it.

But he still couldn't relax himself, the hand holding the wand was so stiff that it hurt.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound behind him——Cedric turned his head immediately, holding his wand high:

"you?"

It's Durmstrang's champion, Krum.

His face had a dull look, as if he had no consciousness of his own.

"what are you going to do."

Cedric narrowed his eyes, wondering if he should strike first.

"Cutting out—"

"Armor protection!"

Two lights of different colors collided, and Krum's weird face showed a sly smile again: "Crucio!"

The Unforgivable Curse?

This time Cedric didn't completely avoid the red light - part of it hit him, causing a real, visceral throbbing pain.

He tried his best to control the twitching movements, and looked at the condescending Krum.

Cedric's face completely lost the honesty that belonged to Hufflepuff. With a gloomy face, he raised his wand enduring the pain:

"To pieces—"

"Passed out!"

Potter kicked through the fence, trembling, and cursed at Krum who suddenly turned to run away.

Really strange, Cedric clutched his chest and stood up slowly.

Why do you want to run away when you see Potter?

"Are you all right?" Potter asked, his robes torn by branches and a tiny bloodstain on his head.

Cedric stood up straight and briefly stood in the same camp as Potter: "I'm fine." He looked at Krum who fell on the ground like a big rock, and calmly analyzed, "It seems that it is Fleur attacked by Krum."

The original mad hatred on his face seemed to be a flash in the pan, and it dissipated in an instant.

"Did you hear Fleur's call too?" Cedric asked.

Potter snorted, "Yes, I just didn't expect it to be Krum..."

There was a brief silence between the two.

"Don't you think we should fire sparks? I'm afraid he'll be eaten by a schreck later." Potter asked softly.

Cedric nodded silently. After taking a sip from the water bag, he raised his wand high and fired a red spark.

"Good luck, Potter." He took the initiative to break the brief peace between the two, turned and walked in another direction.

Potter stared after him, frowning.

Today's Cedric is really different from usual, almost like Professor McGonagall, he thought, maybe the last project needs more attention?

He didn't think about it any more, and chose a direction to continue walking.

Cedric walked steadily, and the pain left by the Unforgivable Curse in his body dissipated little by little.

In the open space in front of him, there seemed to be something quietly waiting for him, like a trap for eating people——

He took a deep breath for a few seconds, and walked towards the mist with his long legs.

Cedric Diggory's corpse lay stiffly on the grass, his gray eyes looked like open windows, but there was no light inside.He was wearing Hufflepuff's tracksuit, the exact same one Cedric was wearing now.

Cedric's heart seemed to be clenched, but he still tried his best to calm down and dispel this strange feeling.

"Funny, funny." His voice trembled slightly, and he chanted the mantra without any wavering.

After an explosion-like sound, Cedric's body disappeared, and the silver smoke dissipated, revealing the road behind.

At the end of the road, there is a beautiful and dazzling blue light.

He seemed to be able to see the shadow of the trophy.

But he couldn't help thinking for a moment, maybe much longer than a moment, and he seriously felt that it was like a trap luring him——

As expected, the huge spider burst out of the passage to his right.

Its hilly body barely fits through the wide passages of the maze—every step makes the ground shake desperately.

"There are obstacles!" Cedric yelled.

This momentarily hindered the giant spider's pace, it seemed to be irritated, and countless small disgusting eyes were fixed on Cedric.

"Burning fire!"

He made a burning barrier while backing away, but he underestimated the speed and thickness of the giant spider's skin, it flew straight at it, and at this moment, Cedric was only one step away from the trophy——

"Passed out!"

It was Potter's voice.He came running from the other direction, wand raised to help Cedric.

It was useless, instead, the giant spider turned around and set him as the target of attack, distractedly pounced on him——

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cedric leaned back and pointed his wand straight at the giant spider's abdomen: "Everything is petrified!"

Potter was injured by the attack of the giant spider, but he still reacted quickly, clutching his wand and chanting together with him: "Stunned!"

The combination of these two spells seems to have endless magical power.Together, they hit the giant spider's fragile abdomen, causing it to overturn on the passage like a huge carriage.

Still, Potter was attacked and wounded in the leg.

Potter fell to the ground in pain, blood oozing from his long run, and some wounds were even exposed.He was unable to stand up and could only gasp for breath.

"Take it," he gasped to Cedric. "Take it, you've arrived."

Cedric turned his head, the trophy was a foot or so behind him.

"You saved my life twice." He walked towards Potter indifferently, pulling him up: "You deserve it."

It's very highbrow Hufflepuff style - something Cedric would absolutely do.

"That's not the rule," said Potter, looking annoyed and annoyed, leaning against the fence, using his robes to deal with his bleeding leg.

Cedric took two steps back, took out a water bottle and took a sip, crossing his arms across his chest, "If it wasn't for you, I might have been eliminated by Krum by now."

He is full of honesty, and he looks completely unprepared to fight anymore.

Perhaps because he knew that danger might be hidden behind the trophy, he was as indifferent as a huge ice cube at the moment, completely unable to see his mood.

"Let's go together," Potter said.

"what?"

"Two people take it at the same time, and Hogwarts still wins. We are tied for the championship."

Cedric looked at his face and raised his chin.His face was full of inquiry, as if he was looking at a stranger, and he seemed to be trying to pull out a smile: "Listen to you."

He took a few steps forward, putting his strong arm on Potter's shoulder: "You take the one on the right."

The handle of the glittering trophy is infinitely attractive.

He stretched out his hand, and held the trophy with Potter as he counted down.

"one two three--"

Familiar with the feeling of a portkey, a hook pulled him from his lower back.

Cedric held the handle tightly, and the other hand was still in the posture of supporting Potter, spinning in a sea of ​​brilliant colors.
