"Oy, my head! What happened? I thought ghost could walk through walls."
Cedric sat up on the bed in the infirmary. "What in bloody…"
"Ah, not in here Mr. Diggory." Madame Pomfrey walked towards Cedric looking him over. "Professor Dumbledore will be here to speak with you in a few minutes."
"Umm… thank you Madame Pomfrey." Cedric watched as she walked away and looked down at his hands and felt the pain in his head. "There has got to be something wrong here."
"Ah, Mr. Diggory, so nice to see you are awake." Professor Dumbledore walked towards Cedric a smile plastered on his face. "How are you feeling?"
"Well sir, my head hurts… I don't think that is supposed to happen if I'm a ghost." Cedric continued holding his head.
"Oh, that. Cedric… you aren't a ghost." Cedric looked at Professor Dumbledore wide-eyed.
"What, of course I'm a ghost… He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named killed me… At the Tri-Wizard tournament." Cedric looking down at his hands.
"Cedric, I know this is hard to take, but you are not a ghost. You have been revived." Professor Dumbledore shook his head. "I do not know how though… maybe that will be one of your problems to solve as you live again. The ministry has been informed."
"Alright, so I'm alive again? I'M ALIVE!!!" Cedric jumped out of the bed but was caught with the pain in his head. "Oh, some things you don't enjoy coming back."
"Well Mr. Diggory if you would lie down, you have been out for a week now and you hit your head pretty hard that day." Dumbledore looked him over. "What were you trying to do anyway Cedric."
"Get away from my brother and Victoria Weasley." Cedric cursed under his breath, he was an idiot and he knew it.
"Ah, referring to her with her full name. Cedric you should know that Miss Weasley and your brother have been fighting since that day. It seems your injury has caused them some problems." Cedric looked at Dumbledore.
"You can't mean I… Oh, I'm a fool!" Cedric fell backwards on to the pillow again. "I can't believe I'm jealous of my younger brother!"
"Well, Cedric… I will leave you to rest and think some things over." Dumbledore stood up and left the room.
A day later Cedric was up and back into the Hufflepuff common room ready to start his schooling. His parents had sent him is supplies with a promise they would be departing for Hogwarts the following evening to see him. The seeker on the team and been put into remission from an injury he sustained and would not be playing Quidditch for a while, especially for Hogwarts considering he was a seventh year.
"Cedric… what did you do to Ginny?" Cedric jumped when Kelly approached him quietly one afternoon in the common room.
"I haven't done anything. Why what is wrong with her?" Cedric turned looking at Kelly who was rather upset.
"Well, her and Nick are fighting you know and having been having to good a month… You realize it has been a month right? Well, she really loves Nick and I think what you said to her screwed up what she felt." Kelly eyed him as a fifth year would to him.
"Well, if she had sense she would leave my brother alone." Cedric stood up and walked to his dorm leaving a very angry Kelly to herself.
' didn't do anything to her, it's her fault that she fell for my brother.' Cedric sat on his bed… 'but what if she really does love my brother… no, she is just with him to get to me.'
"No Cedric, Ginny loves Nick." Cedric looked over his shoulder looking around but saw no one. "You know it's true."
"Who are you?" Cedric looked around again.
"Have you really been gone for that long to forget you conscience?"
'Oh, so you're in my head?'
'Of course I am'
'Well, go away.'
'I'm afraid I can't do that.'
'And why not?'
'Because you need my guidance.'
'Fine you can stay but don't make me seem crazy.'
'I'll remember that.'
Cedric looked around… It was time to apologize.
