Fourth Year

"Stop it!" I swat Neville's hand away from taking the only piece of bread I retrieved from the basket which was rapidly emptied by the others and leaving me on piece. Neville frowns at me and took on from Seamus' when he wasn't looking, I chuckle, glancing at the boy just a couple of seats away from me, caught him staring at me and I wave and smile at him, which he also returned.

"Are you together?" Neville gasps when he saw our little shy wave at each other, making Seamus look above his book and to us, I hid my face in Neville's shoulders. "Shut it, you gits."

Then I felt a tap on my shoulder, turning around and saw Cedric with a smile,"Hey Ced!"

"Hey Y/N, I need your help." Cedric crimsons sheepishly, I nod excusing myself from the two boys and followed Ced, whom led me to the library.

"I know that you're really great at solving riddles, I need help with this..." He took out a huge golden egg, I gasp when I saw it and stared at him unbelievably. "It's part of the task for the Triwizard tournament, please, help me."

"Ok, ok." I repeat, taking the egg out of his grasp, examining it, it had many beautiful carvings, it began to turn the hinges and open it until Cedric stopped me,"No, don't. If you open it, it'll make a screeching sound!"

Then I squeal, I knew it! I smile at Cedric,"It makes a screeching sound when it's opened at air, what if you open it underwater. I know for a fact that merpeople sing gracefully at water, bring them on land, you might as well wish to be deaf that time." I smirk, handing him the egg.

"You can't believe how grateful I am to have a best friend like you, my little buttercup." He hugs me before running off to open the egg, I sigh and slid down the wall, taking a book that was laid down on the floor, it was all about dragons. Smiling at the nickname he gave me when we were young, playing in the fields.

"Hey." I heard, not looking up knowing that maybe that there was another student with me in this section of the library, I kept reading as the topic about dragons intrigued me more about it.

"Y/N?" I look up to see Harry there, standing. I close the book, lost for words.

"Hey Harry." I stutter, placing the book back to the shelf, he chuckles and hands me a parchment of paper, "Read that when we're in our 7th year." Harry smiles.

"Why give me a letter when I have to read it in three years?" I ask him, instead he shakes his head, shushing me. "Keeps you curious on what's written, also, everything is in there."

I nod, thanking him turning away to walk out the library. Before exiting I turn around to Harry and said,"Take a bath with the egg, Harry." I wink at him.

He laughs and salutes to me, I look at the letter and saw my name scribbled messily. Tucking the letter in my road, curiosity is indeed killing me now.

The Great Hall

"Today we acknowledge a really terrible loss. Cedric Diggory was, as you all know, exceptionally hard working, infinitely fair-minded, and most importantly, a fierce, fierce friend. Therefore, I feel you have the right to know exactly how he died. You see, Cedric Diggory was murdered, by Lord Voldemort. The Ministry of Magic does not wish me to tell you this. But not to do so I feel would be an insult to his memory. Now the pain we all feel at this dreadful loss reminds me, and, reminds us, that though we may come from different countries and speak in different tongues, our hearts beat as one. In light of the recent events, the bonds of friendship made this year will be more important than ever. Remember that, and Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain. You remember that, and we'll celebrate a boy who was kind, and honest, and brave, and true. Right to the very end. " Dumbledore announces through the Great hall. Then turns to me out of everyone.

"But I cannot imagine the grief and pain you are going through but I promise, everything will get better." He smiles at me, tears streaming down my face. Remembering the face of Ced when I saw Harry bring him back here, he was so pale and out of his cheerful state. He was literally gone now.
