Cedric stood staring at the two professors who looked deep with concern. He was still waiting for his answer and had been for about 10 minutes now. He looked from one to other as he continued to wait.
"Well, I am not completely sure Cedric." Dumbledore broke the silence as if it hadn't been that long. "It might be the fact of how many people wept for your life, or the fact Harry Potter tried to save you."
"Albus, you can't be telling him that if you aren't sure." McGonagall spoke this time making Cedric cringe at the sound of Professor Dumbledore's name. "We must research this for a true answer."
"I'm fine with no research." Cedric spoke as calmly as he could. He could accept that he was dead, or at least pretend he accepted it. "I'm sure I can figure it out of my own. Or with one of my friends help."
Professor Dumbledore stared at him for a moment as if sizing him up and spoke once again. "Well Mr. Diggory, we have an option for you."
This caught Cedric's attention. He hadn't known that Professor Dumbledore knew he would come back. Then again, he probably did have connections with the powers that be, the root of all magic. "What is it sir?"
"Well, we have decide that it is an option for you to continue…" Professor Dumbledore let the sentence hang for a couple of seconds before continuing. "Your schooling here."
Cedric shocked at this statement let the only 3 words he could think of come out, "I'd love that!"
Professor Dumbledore smiled as usual and for the first time Cedric saw something that surprised him. Professor McGonagall was smiling also. "There are a few things we have to go over with you though." Professor Dumbledore went behind his next and pulled out some parchment.
Cedric and the two professors sat in Professor Dumbledore's office discussing the plans. About an hour later (past curfew) Cedric Diggory the ghost emerged from the Headmaster's office carrying a few pages of parchment. He wasn't completely sure if he wanted to go to the Hufflepuff Common Room or walk around Hogwarts for a while. Making a decision he crept into the Great Hall sitting in his old seat. Which was more than likely belonging to someone different now.

Cedric woke up… apparently even as a ghost you could fall asleep… to the sounds of students entering the great hall. Standing up he walked up and stood in a room behind the professors' table. Professor Dumbledore had instructed him to do so. The entire school had been given a certain time to appear in the great hall. He had said it was because he wanted to announce Cedric's return.
"Are you ready Mr. Diggory?" A cold sneering voice entered the room in which Cedric was standing. Professor Snape had entered the room and was glaring at Cedric.
"Oh, hello Professor Snape. Yes, I am ready." Cedric smiled at the professor even though he still despised him.
"Alright then. Follow me. Oh and Cedric, I'm sorry about what happened to you." Professor Snape walked through the door into the great hall. Cedric stood for a moment wondering about the change but followed the professor into the great hall as well.
Cedric stared at all the faces. It was amazing how many people had come to Hogwarts in a year… Cedric looked at the Gryffindor Table. He could make out the people who had moved up the table as they progressed there years at Hogwarts. He could see Harry Potter, his hair still as wild as before; Hermione Granger, a prefects badge secured to her robes. Perched in front of her was Viktor Crum the Quidditch player.; Ron Weasley, he did seem to have changed much. He still had his flaming red hair, like all the other Weasleys. Next to them was Ginny Weasley, Ron's little sister. She was exactly as Cedric remembered her. He spotted a few others.
Quickly Cedric watched the Hufflepuff table, his house. Spotted among them were many of his friends. Then quickly he remembered about his brother and the tremendous shock it had been when Nick had been placed into Ravenclaw. Cedric shifted his gaze to look at the Ravenclaw table. He saw his brother Nick who was discussing something with a girl next to him. Cedric gaze drifted to the head of the Ravenclaw table where Cho Chang was sitting. She had a content look on her face as she looked up at him. He could see a badge attached to her robes. Her badge though, signified she was Head Girl of Hogwarts.
