As he looked up at the bewitched ceiling in the entrance hall at Hogwarts
Chris Diggory felt a tear roll down his cheek. His older bother Cedric had
been killed only a year earlier while taking part in the Triwizard
Tournament. Cedric had been killed by He Who Must Not Be Named, the most
terrifying wizard of all time. Chris had been at Tafeka School of Magic on
an exchange while the tournament had been taking place and now he was back
at Hogwarts he felt rather nervous. He had never been a friend with Harry
Potter but now he felt as if he owed it to him, Harry after all had tried
to save his brother and after escaping from the Dark Lord, had risked his
life to bring Cedric's body back. Chris somehow wished he was back at
Tafeka with his best friend there Elra, over the year they had become close
and Chris missed her way of sensing what he was feeling. 'If only she was
here now', he thought, he wasn't sure how all his old fiends would react,
and even the rest of the school, he didn't want people to feel sorry for
him, no that was the last thing he wanted. Professor Spout came sweeping
down the staircase and swept Chris off to the Hufflepuff Commons. As he
entered the whole room fell silent, his old friends, Paul and Colin,
wouldn't even look him in the eye, he was taken up to the dormitory by
Professor Spout, 'Thanks Professor', 'It's ok Mr Diggory, now if there's
anything you need just come and see me, goodnight.' Professor Spout left
leaving Chris on his own, he was very tired after his lomg journey from
Tafeka, he fell into the four poster bed and was asleep before his head
touched the pillow.
