Chapter 1
All Cedric remembers is a bright green light and then the underworld. Now as he is waking up in Olympus. he knows exactly what is happening. He nods at the greek gods and goddesses before smiling at his father They talk for a while before Cedric is transported in front of Hogwarts. He checks his watch seeing people have already started classes. Cedric waltzes in through the front door where he is met with an empty hallway. He continues through the school heading towards Dumbledore's office. The two talk for a while Dumbledore, not evening seeming surprised to see the boy. He gives Cedric directions to go to the DADA classroom to see the students. Cedric changes into some robes before heading into the classroom. As he gets closer, he can hear Umbridge arguing with Harry about Voldemort being back. He raps his knuckles on the door causing the room to fall silent. Umbridge invites him in, and he pushes through the door and walks in with his head held high. He can feel the stares of the pure shock of his peers as he walks through the classroom. He comes to stand beside Harry but doesn't even look at him. He just stares down Umbridge.
"What was that about the fact Voldemort isn't back? Or that my death was a tragic accident?"
"Cedric," Harry breathes out shocked. The older boy turns to Harry and sends him a smile. He looks back at Umbridge, his stare turning more steely.
"Voldemort is back, end of the discussion. I know because I saw him, he killed me. The only reason I am back is that some very special people are on my side. If I hear you speaking of this again, I won't be happy."To follow Cedric's speech the candles in the room flare-up, the flames licking dangerously close the ceiling. Cedric turns to leave but before doing so he places his hand gently on Harry's head. Then he walks out of the room before heading to the Hufflepuff common room to relax. Just as he had done for 17 years, he taps the barrel two from the bottom, middle of the second row, in the rhythm of 'Helga Hufflepuff', and the lid swings open. He drops onto the couch and looks over at the plants. Despite being the son of the God of Fire, he still was always in tune with his nature side. He was just starting to doze off when he heard his name being called. He smiles just slightly recognizing the voice. He sits up to see the mist is being formed.
"Hello, Percy." The mist finally revealingly forms the raven-haired boy with ocean blue eyes. The boy smiles at his companion before the conservation starts. They talk a while about what had happened. Percy also informs Cedric that he and the other 7 will be showing up at Hogwarts to help Cedric with his quest. They talk for a while longer until it was time for Cedric to head to the great hall for dinner. They bid each other farewell and head to their respective dinner halls. The minute he enters the great hall everyone goes silent. Harry and himself send each other smiles and Cedric heads towards his table. He takes his seat and is immediately bomb barded with questions. He informs everyone that he won't be saying anything for the time being which they agree to. Cedric looks up at the Gryffindor table to see an ally of his conversing with Harry. The two make eye contact with each other causing Harry to turn around. The messy-haired boy smiles happily at Cedric causing the latter's heart to skip a beat. The golden-haired boy's face flushes slightly and he turns away. The Hufflepuff looks around the room his eyes landing on the Ravenclaw house. To be more honest a singular Ravenclaw. Cho Chang, his ex-girlfriend... kind of. Technically since Cedric died stopping the fact that they could break up. Seeing as the girl wasn't eating, he motions his head towards the door and stands which causes Cho to follow. They get into the hallway when Cho tackles the boy into a hug. Cedric gently pulls her away and looks her in eyes.
"Cho, we had a great time together. We did, but I don't think we should get back together."The girl stares at her ex-boyfriend tears welling in her eyes.
"Why? Did you stop loving me? What happened?"Cedric has to try to stop himself from rolling his eyes.
"I died Cho, things changed. I'm sorry, I am but I can't stop what happened and I'd appreciate if you understood that."As he finishes that sentence Cho rushes off in tears causing him to sigh.
"Girl troubles?" If anyone he expected to follow him and Cho it sure as hell wasn't Harry Potter. The boy he was now harboring feelings for and if he was honest had been for a while.
