Painful Memories

The Hufflepuffs were a prideful house the night of the first task. They celebrated Cedric's victory as the whole house's victory.

Hufflepuffs were known for their fun celebratory karaoke party nights.

"Go on, Diggory! You're the champion! Sing a song for us!" Shouted one of his friends.

"Uh.. You know I'm not great at singing.." Cedric replied, feeling his face flush.

"Come on Cedric! Sing a song!"

"Sing a song!"

Well, the whole house was practically urging Cedric to have his turn with the karaoke. How could he disappoint?

He didn't disappoint. His voice was soft and husky but you could tell he was just joking around with his singing.

"Alright. Alright. Should we open this stupid gold egg?"

"Open it! Open it! Open it!" They chanted.

Y/N leaned in closer, as she was curious too.

The egg looked surreal close up. The soft light of the Hufflepuff common room complimented the shiny golden egg.

Cedric carefully twisted the top of the egg and opened it.

Almost immediately, the whole house heard a violently loud, screeching noise coming from the egg.

Cedric closed the egg quickly. Clouds of confusion taking over his silver eyes.

"Blimey! What was that noise??" Asked one of Cedric's mates.

Y/N was shocked at the strange sound that was released from the egg. Although, she was sure she heard of something that might have sounded like that. 

She recalled reading a chapter in her A Guide to Mythical Creatures book that she borrowed from the library that mentioned something about an annoyingly loud noise that had a hidden message when heard from… she didn't quite remember. 

Y/N decided she would have to take another look at the book soon.

"Alright. Alright. I think that's enough for tonight. Off to bed now, all of you!" The Hufflepuff Prefect ordered as he waved the group off to their dorms.

Little Y/N watched as her loving parents' figures slowly dissolved as they neared the horizon.

Her parents visibly resisting to being painfully dragged away from their precious newborn daughter.

"Darling, I'm so sorry to tell you this, but your parents are gone. They aren't coming back. I'm sorry sweetheart." Aunt Rosalie had cooed to a baby Y/N in her arms, while she sobbed quietly from the loss of her brother and sister in law.

Y/N woke up with a start. She felt a few tear drops in her eyes. 

"Oh, you're up early." Aurelia said, looking over at Y/N's side of the room while she finished making her bed.

Y/N wiped her tears away with a yawn to play it off. "Yeah. Surprising, huh?"

"You're never up this early, Y/N.. I'll leave you to get ready." Aurelia said frowning as if she knew something was up with her friend and then finally leaving the room.
