❝ Goodbyes hurt, when the story
is not finished. ❞

Loud gasps erupted from all aroun. As Harry said Voldermort was back and Cedric Diggory was dead. Harry crying loudly clutching to Cedric's body. All the professors rushed to pull him away but he didnt. The hogwarts band continued playing the songs until Minerva shut them off.

"Cedric Diggory is dead" Someone whisper exclaimed Amelia who just got up running happily towards her boyfriend as he came back was stopped in mid tracks when she heard what Harry just said. Her eyes dropped on the ground where he layed.

Lifeles.

Her breathing stopped and mouth parted. The whole world seemed to stop around her. She couldnt believe what she was seeing. Her eyes blankly staring at the lifeless body of Cedric.

"Let me through! Thats my son! Thats my boy!" Amos Diggory cried falling beside his son's lifeless body.

The place was dead silent and only the cried of Amos Diggory echoed. Crowd pushed past Amelia who was still in trance. She stood there as if waiting for him to finish his prank and stand up laughing loudly.

I'll be back in a few minutes

His words rang in her ears. Her mind drifting to how he promised just not more than an hour ago that he would be back and listen to whatever she had for him to say.

"Amelia– Diggory's dead!" Draco exclaimed shaking her bringing her out of her trance.

"No–" She shook her head and ran forward kneeling down beside him.

"Cedric – wake up" She said softly staring at him picking up his cold hand, which fell back on the ground out of her grip.

A shuddered breath left her throat staring at the blank emotionless eyes of him. His face pale white, he was not moving at all, his chest was not rising and falling. She looked up as Amos cried loudly watchig his son. Her throat totally dried. He was dead.

She remembered when he said, he wanted to make his father proud and on the next day his father had hosted a party for the celebration of his victory. His father was already proud. But right now he was broke. His son was laying lifeless in front of his eyes.

She shook him more and more, tears pooling in her eyes seeing he was not responding at all. She tried to yell but nothing except a cry came out.

"Cedric- you promised you'll be fine!" She cried. Someone tried to pull her but she yanked them away, leaning towards his face, cupping his face, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Wake–up" She croaked clutching to his shirt.

"The body must be moved Albus" Cornelius said. Dumbledore nodded and comforted Amos a bit before clearing the crowds away but Amelia wouldn't leave.

"No– please– Cedric you promised you will be back" She cried loudly, the pain in her voice making others cry harder.

"Ms. Black you have to move aside" Dumbledore said.

"No!–Cedric please– wake up please" Amelia cried harder clutching to him more tightly, not letting go, shaking him wildly, but he layed there lifeless.

"Amelia get up, come" It was Sev who held her tightly and pulled away from Cedric's body. She cried trying to fight his tight grip, but couldnt.

"No– please No– Cedric– you promised you wont leave!" She cried harder but Sev only pulled her away from the crowd more and more taking her inside the castle.

"Leave me– I want to go to him, please!" She shouted trying get away from his grip.

"He is gone Amelia–"

"No please, He promised he will come back alright, he cant leave like this" She cried desperately being dragged away. Sev enveloped her in a hug, letting her cry as loud as she could. She tried to fight crying harder and harder.

"Shh Amelia he is gone" He said quitely which only made her cry harder desperately.

"No– please let me go to him– please" She sobbed clutching to him tightly. Sev's heart broke at the painful voice of his neice. His mind drifted to that night when he was in the same condition.

Amelia cried endlessly remembering how she always told him to be careful in the task and he would always day 'I'll be fine' but she wouldnt be convinced ever. She remembered when in the first task he got hurt and she said that she wont always be there to save him but he replied that she will always be there.

"Amelia I have to go– promise me you'll will stay here okay" Sev said softly pulling away. But instantly a hurt look stricked his face on seeing the condition of his niece. Her face refelected pure sorrow.

"Do y-you want me to call Lupin for you?" He asked worried. He could not leave her just like that. She didnt even hear his words her mind totally focused on Cedric.

"Professor May I come in?" Draco came into view. Sev nodded.

"Take care of her Draco" Sev said sternly and knew Draco would do his best in this. Sev left the dungeons after having a last glance at his niece who cried clutching to Draco painfully.

"H-He promised he would come back– He promised he would be fine. I couldnt do anything to save him Draco–" Amelia sobbed.

"Shh Amelia– its not your fault–" Draco said in a soft tone.

"It is my fault– I knew something wrong was going to happen and – I couldnt even stop it– I could have saved him but I didnt–" She cried harder. Her face damp with the tears running down, her throat burning.

"Its not your fault Amelia, its the schools fault, they couldnt do proper security and arrnagement–"

"Dumbledore knew everything" She said in a fierce and bitter tone.

"What–"

"Yes he knew eveything! I told him! And he said we should not change whatever is going to happen– that means he knows what will happen but he just lets that happen– he never tried to save anyone– same with Potter's parents and same with C-Cedric" Her lips trembled at his name. She tightly shut her eyes to prevent the tears but they seeped out easily.

She collapsed on the ground as her knees didnt support her anymore, tears fell continously her eyed.
Draco watched her with a hurt look. The girl who was like a sister to
him, was broke and he couldnt do
anything to fix it. He watched her the whole time pouring her eyes out.

The next morning was a depressing one, everyone got to know that the dada professor was a deatheater in disguise. He was Barty Crouch jr. He was sent to azkaban after that, and now the whole hall was gathered for the last feast, with dead silence.

Draco hadn't left Amelia's side since yesterday, he requested to take her to the great hall for breakfast, but she refused. He understood and let her stay with herself for a while.

Amelia layed curled up in a ball in her bed in the dungeons, hugging her knees to her chest. Her eyes puffy from crying the whole night, her throat sore and mind blank. She couldnt erase his smiling face out of her head.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, she ignored it for a few times but decided to answer the door. As she opened the door weakly, she saw Ernie Mcmillian standing there, he too had bags under his eyes.

"Amelia, how are you?" He asked in a small raspy voice.

She didnt answer just stared blankly. He sighed and dig out a small room key from his pocket handing it to her. She didnt even question.

"You should visit-Cedric's dorm, he might have wanted you to" He said in a slightly trembling voice not meeting her eyes. She stared at the key in her hand blankly, but again her eyes started brimming, it was his dorm key, she was familiar with it.

She gave a small nod, her lips slightly quivering and closed the door behind her, tightly shutting her eyes. She breathed out a shuddered breath and weakly put on her robes. Today was the last day of school and the children would leave shortly in a few hours.

She made her way out of the deserted corridors and dungeons, everyone was in great hall, so she didnt meet anyone in the way. She passed the kitchen, and exhaled sharply looking away, because now she would never be able to bear the sight of those kitchens. Her eyes intensely focused on the yellow corridors, with a heavy feeling in her heart she entered the yellow rooms made her way up to his dorm. It took her while ascending all the stairs. She tried to shrug the memories away which were continously popping up in her mind on seeing the familiar walls, stairs, couches. Most of her time was spent in this place with him.

As she reached his dorm on the top most floor, she took out the key with slightly shaking hands, she didnt knew if she could face the room after what she saw last night. Exhaling a shuddered breath she opened the door, the familiar scent of Cedric greeted her. Before she could even know the tears started falling again. Her eyes fell on the couch, the bed, the whole room, which had so many memories attached.

Her eyes darted on the small box which was placed at the end of the bed with a soft ribbon tied to it. She approached and knelt down in front of the bed taking the box in her hands and slowly opening it to see a note and blue flowers tied to it.

She buckled up the courage to unroll the letter and start reading it. She knew this was for her because he always made a small smiling face on the back of the letter whenever it was for her, and there it was on the back of the page at the corner.

She knew she will definately be more broken if she read it, but she had to read it, he left her a letter already, as if he knew what was going to happen to him. She clutched to the paper tightly with trembling hands, a soft chuckle escaped her lips on his dancing handwriting, which quickly turned into a sob.

My dear Amy,

If you are reading this right now that means, something has happened which shouldnt have happened or maybe, maybe I am gone.

So to have a better goodbye,
I left this for you.

Since the day I met you, you have amazed me. The day when you and I bumped into each other is engraved in my memories, and it would surely take more than this life to forget it.

I am sure, you must have filled
buckets by now from crying, but dont you shed another tear now, I am not really gone. Just remember when one day you said that people never really leave us, they live within us forever.

Do one little favour for me?
Tell Dad, I tried really hard
and i hope he is proud of me.

Do another favour... Keep that large cheeky smile on your face always,
It suits you better.

Another thing, this letter maybe my last, maybe not, i really dont know. But if it is my last, then there is one really important thing for you to know.

Amelia Sierra Black, I love talking to you, dancing with you, sneaking in the kitchens with you, arguing with you, fighting with you because

I love you, Amy.

I wish i could have said that earlier, but i didnt really had the courage.

I am really really helplessly in love with you, and I am an idiot that cannot say it on your pretty little face. But I really couldnt leave without letting you know this, so here you are.

I have cherished you, since the day
we became friends. I have admired you since I layed eyes on you, and finally I have loved you since the day I told you, I liked you.

After I am gone, I hope your life is still filled with the same bright colours, your loud laughter, and your snarky comments, but my bad i wont be in it anymore.

Other than this letter I am leaving you one more thing beneath the flowers, you know what flowers are they right? I thought they'd be appropriate for you.

And the other thing, wear that for me?

I want to say much more but I am afraid the whole school has that much of parchment. So once again and for eternity:

I love you Amelia,
always and forever.

Yours only
Ced'

By the end of the letter Amelia's whole face was soaked with her own tears. Nothing but cries coming out of her mouth, she fell beside the bed letting the grief and despair envelope her.

Her eyes darted to the box which had another small box in it and small bouquet of blue flowers. Amelia knew what flowers they were, Forget me not. The flowers signify true love and a promise to never forget the love of your life, this send another painful spark in her heart. He loved her, since more than an year, and she hadn't a clue about it.

Her heart shattered at the thought that he died without getting to know that he was loved back.

Only if he had known... It wouldnt have been this depressing.

Wiping her threatening to spill out tears she picked up the small box and opened it to see a small ring of the same flowers which a small diamond in its centre was placed there. 

Wear it for me?

With a smallest sad smile she slipped the ring in her ring finger. She didnt knew what she was going to do after this. Everything was finished. He was gone.

Her eyes darted to the bedside table which had a small picture of her and Cedric placed on it. With trembling hand she pulled up the courage to pick it up. It was the same picture from the kitchen that day. Amelia sitting in his lap, laughing loudly with a plate of pancakes and he tickling her sides. A sob again left her throat at the memory.

She knew she was never going to move on from this.

"I love you Cedric, Always" She whispered as a heavy tear rolled down her cheek.
