Silent Tears
I stumbled to Cedric's body, pushing through hundreds of students. There was so many people around, trying to get a glimpse of my love. I closed my eyes in horror, when I finally saw him.
Harry Potter was clutching his body like a madman, he did this twitchy thing, like he couldn't leave. It was sad to see the two people I thought would make it, who I thought were invincible, like this. One dead, the other probably insane from what he just saw.
I looked at Cedric for the first time really. I saw what was absolutely beautiful about him, even in death. Though the once full-of-life eyes I fell in love with were gone, replaced by dull orbs, they still somehow sparkled to me. Maybe he wasn't dead, maybe just …..just sleeping. But no…. he had bruises and pale, death white skin, blood trickled from his temple. His lips parted just slightly, he was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen.
"He's back. Voldemort's back." Harry repeated, over and over. Like a fresh, new slap in the face, it woke me out of the trance I was in. If Harry was telling the truth, which, in my mind, he was, then He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is back. But it couldn't be, he's dead. But, was there ever a body to discover? Maybe he actually is back. This thought unsettled me greatly.
I watched Mr. Diggory's shaking body for what seemed like hours, but it was probably an only a matter of seconds. Silent tears slid down my face. I would try to remain strong, I needed to be.
Everyone was darting looks at me, trying to see my reaction. Other kids were scrambling to get a glimpse of my loves body. Have they no respect? The Hufflepuff students were watching silently. Some had tears in their eyes, others terrified that someone from Hogwarts, someone from their house, had gotten killed.
When everyone had finally gotten the gist of what happened, that my love was dead, their feet shuffled awkwardly, and they hung their heads in shame, or maybe it was sorrow. I didn't much care anymore.
What did I do to deserve this? I loved him with all my heart, and I'm positive that he loved me back. We might've gotten married, had kids! But that's not going to happen now. It's never going to happen between us anymore.
With my silent tears still streaming down my face, I walk away, knowing nothing will ever get rid of my sadness. Ever…
