Men!
After all you would think it was him and not her
He was back in Hogwarts, the captain of the Quidditch team and now holding not only the Quidditch Cup aloft but the House cup too.
Cedric Diggory was the hero to the Hufflepuffs and after last year he was also the hero of Hogwarts for claiming the Tri- wizard trophy which sat proudly on display in the entrance hall.
Dumbledore seemed to part the crowd cheering Cedric with just his presence, the aging wizard didn't seemed surprised by Cedric's shock expression.
"There is a very good reason for all of this Master Diggory; I have come back to personally give you your N.E.W.T.S results, your acceptance to the Aura program and also this letter requesting that you become the new Minster of Magic" Dumbledore declare with a faint smile while Cedric's jaw dropped.
He truly was the greatest. He never once thought all this could happen to him but it had.
But it meant nothing… not while the only person who mattered was absent.
"Cerdic" a lone voice called above all the cheers that had only lessened a fraction, spinning away from the fading image of Dumbledore the crowds parted once more to reveal the frizzy haired witch who had stolen his heart during this last year, his last year, she stood beaming at him and only him.
"Oh Cedric" she called in a girlish manner he had never heard from her.
Not even worrying where the items in his arms had gone he flung them open to capture the Gryffindor and spin her around, beaming just as much as she had at him.
"I love you Cedric Diggory" she exclaimed as he put her down staring at her like she was the only person in the world.
To him she really was.
"You do" he questioned dumbfounded when she rolled her eyes but still nodded up at him.
"Of course I do, I've loved you from the moment I saw you last year… I knew then that there was no other man for me" she declared.
He debated between cheering himself or spinning her around again.
He decided on doing both gaining another giggle from her.
"This is the best day of my life" he declared only to be answered with resounding cheers.
Cedric Diggory would never in a million years dream his life could get better…..
Sadly for him he was dreaming because as of that moment….

"Bloody hell Hermione… what did you do to him" Ronald Weasley questioned as he stumbled from the fireplace of the Diggory house hold to find Cedric Diggory laying half on and half off the only large sofa in the living room.
A few seconds later Harry Potter stumbled into his best friend and in turn gap at the sight before him.
Hermione Granger/Diggory simply rolled her eyes and placed her book down after slipping the bookmark into it's place.
"I did nothing apart from attempting to get him on to the sofa. He's been running around like a headless chicken for the past half hour before he managed to run into the wall and knock himself out" Hermione growled as Harry and Ron looked at each other before looking at the witch who sat calmly on the overstuffed arm chair.
"What do you want us to do" Harry asked as Hermione rolled her eyes and sighed.
"I want one of you to help him through the fireplace while the other one holds my bag" Hermione growled before clutching her side tightly.
Breathing heavily for a few moments she relaxed her hold on her side.
Composing her self long enough to relax her body after the cramps she managed to lift her self up and stare at the two boys.
"He may have knocked himself out but he bloody hell is not going to miss this" Hermione snapped as the two men nodded.
Harry darted forward and managed to struggle with Cedric to the fire place while Ron grabbed the small suitcase sitting by the fireplace.
"Shouldn't we wake him up" Harry questioned before Hermione shot him a glare causing Harry in turn to gulp and look down.
"Harry for the past half hour I've had to watch and listen to him being an idiot. When he wakes up I want to at least be in less pain then I am now" Hermione growled before Harry nodded not even chancing a glance at Ron who went pale at Hermione's tone.
"Now if you two have stopped fussing over my husband maybe we could move this along because believe it or not going into labour is not fun" Hermione ordered in a tone that made both Harry and Ron raced towards fireplace, each in admiration and awe of Cedric Diggory.
For not only marrying Hermione Granger but for behaving like a headless chicken for half an hour and not being hexed.
Oh of course for being the man who was willing to sit through hours of curses and bone crushing while Hermione gave birth to their first child.
Ok after such a long absentence for which I'm sorry, I've finally come back to you all with this quick one shot. If anyone is reading Hogwarts New Moon you will be happy to know that I'm hoping to get the finishing touches to it over the next couple of days. Enjoy the fluff.
