Disclaimer: j.k. rowling owns harry potter and bowling for soup sings the song almost

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it

You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
to spend my time missing you
I almost wish you would've loved me too

Cedric wondered if the pain would ever go away. She hadn't left him for someone else. She hadn't left him because he wasn't rich. She'd left to go help fight a war, a war that was tearing their world apart, a war that tore them apart. He'd never miss a person as much as he was missing her. She was the one. She was gone.

"It doesn't have to be like this, Hermione. We can make it through this together!"

"No, I have to do this. I can't just leave Harry and Ron, and you can't come with us. You can't just quit your job for me."

"I can too! I love you and I know you love me back."

Hermione Granger looked him in the eye and said, "Cedric Diggory, I could never love you."

And she left him a broken man.
