The Hogwarts Champion
The school year starts with a big surprise ...
I slowly got up, trying hard to get used to the idea of Ced, my Ced, being a Hogwarts champion.
It’s not like he is already, I reminded myself. He’s just putting his name in … nothing else. That’s all.

Cho Chang
Cho enters the picture ...
Ced was leaning against the wall, smiling his gorgeous smile at the person in front of him – Cho Chang. She smiled flirtatiously and the way she stood, tilting her head slightly and giving Ced a white, even-teethed smile, was a way that certainly did not say “stay away from me”.
More the opposite, really.

The First Task
What ways are there to get past a bloody dragon? None, that's the answer.
It was a blueish-grey creature. Very big, in width as in height, and with a long, spiked tail. It looked deathly. The dragon gave a loud hiss and stomped towards the clutch of eggs, settling down over them but crushing them. Its head swirled around, looking at the stands, then its gaze fixed on the tent.
Cedric had emerged from it, wand clutched tightly in his right hand.

Adrian
I snoop around on the Durmstrang ship..
Without noticing it, I had lost height while staring at the ship and was now hovering directly beside the top of the long mast. Being closer, it looked even more dark and intimidating.
Still, I found it fascinating and found myself loosing more and more height, slowly nearing the deck.

Jealousy
Jealousy is in the air ..
Jealous? Of course I’m not jealous. Why would you think I’m jealous?” I quickened my pace, not looking at him. “Jealous – pah! Where you get such ideas from I’ll never know. As if I would be jealous of her! Crap. Jealous – don’t make me laugh!”

Quidditch
Playing Quidditch with Viktor Krum and the Durmstrangs turns out to be a total disaster ...
Adrian grinned and the group quickly divided into two teams. Dear Adrian made sure I wasn’t left out and got to play one team with him and Krum. I thanked him with a wide smile.
Everybody sorted out in which position they were going to play, and I was appointed the keeper.
That was my worst position.

Victory and downfall
The match with the Durmstrangs continues and is followed by something awful.
There, in front of the portal, stood Ced. His arms were crossed over his chest, he was leaning against the doorframe and his brown eyes, which were always filled with warmth and sparkles, were unusually cold. He was looking at me and he wasn’t smiling.

Heartbroken
My life has turned into a nightmare full of never ending pain in one night ...
My only answer was another sob. There was a long silence in the room and the only sound I could hear was that of Lor’s quiet breathing.
“He’s a right mess, you know”, she finally spoke.

The Christmas dance
The day of the christmas dance has arrived ...
While I observed the decorations, I kept my gaze firmly above the heads of the tallest students, which made me unable to look anybody in the face or recognize them. The hope I was clinging to was that the evening might pass without me even having to see .. him.

I love you
The ball ends in an explosion ... of sorts.
The kiss was like an explosion, all the yearning and pain from the past weeks combined with the most incredible feeling that I realized I had long since started to feel for Ced.....

Long-lost essay
The second task is nearing ...
Therefore …” he stared into the distance again, “Therefore, check your Charms essays from earlier this year. You might find something helpful.”Before I could say a word, he had gotten up and left so fast he was out of my sight before I had even opened my mouth.

The Second Task
I fear for Ced's life ...
And time dragged on. After what seemed like an eternity, half an hour had passed. Still thirty minutes to go, and I didn’t even know what was going on down there … I didn’t even know whether Ced would reappear in one piece.

A love meant for a lifetime
Cedric and I are meant to be...
He kissed me then, and with the kiss vanished my last doubts on whether there was anything or anyone in this world that could ever pull us apart. I knew then what I had always known in my heart; that we were meant to be, that we shared a love that couldn’t be destroyed, a love that would survive anything.
Forever.

The End
The last day ...
“Ced! Cedric!” I screamed in anguish. “Come back! Cedric!”
He didn’t hear me. The tall walls of the maze gave nothing away of what was going on behind them. Ced had disappeared, vanished out of my sight, and fear clasped like a cold hand around my heart.
