Chapter 12- First day and Confessions.
Samantha Diggory was looking at the picture of her cousin that was hung up in the Hufflepuff common room, Sam was currently waiting for her two new friends to come down so they could go to breakfast.
"You've been looking at that photo for ages, what's so interesting about it?" asked a seventh year.
Turning around Sam answered, "Ho long has that been up?"
"Since my first year, he was the first person to get murdered in the second war," answered the seventh year, "Do you know him?"
"He was my cousin," replied Sam.
"Oh I'm sorry for you lost. Listen when Cedric and Harry were picked for the school champions they both had a rough time. Cedric was always thought of as though he hated Harry," explained the Hufflepuff, "No one knows Harry that good but we seventh years know that it tore him apart to see Cedric die,"
"Thank you for telling me," responded Sam.
Sam smiled one last time at the seventh year before she went and sat back down on the chair. Three minutes later and Bethany and Melanie came down.
"Morning," greeted Sam, as Beth and Mel sat next to her.
"Morning what time did you get down?" asked Beth.
"About seven," answered Sam, "I was looking at the picture of Cedric,"
"Did you hear about that club?" asked Melanie, changing the subject.
"No what club?" answered Sam.
"Well according to the seventh year we heard talking its just some where, where we can bo and just relax," explained Beth.
"Sounds cool," replied Sam, "Lets get to breakfast.
The three friends moved from their seats and still talking about the club they made there way down to breakfast all three of them excited about there very fist day.
Over in the teacher's quarters Harry was sitting in front of the fire -It was charmed so it didn't emit any heat- in nothing but his dressing gown and boxers. He had woken up early in the morning due to his nightmare of Cedric Diggory dying but there was another person there.
The bedroom door opened and Remus walked out, a mug of tea appeared on the table for him. Taking a sip of his tea he sat besides Harry.
"Morning," greeted Remus.
"Hmm," replied Harry still watching the fire.
"Harry you okay?" asked Remus waving a hand in front of Harry's face.
Harry slowly cam aware of his surroundings and a hand waving in front of his face, shaking away the last of his thoughts he turned to face Remus.
"Remus when did you get up?" asked Harry.
"A couple of minutes ago are you okay you were miles away?" questioned Remus concerned.
"Fine I was just lost in my memories," answered Harry.
"Which memories were you lost in?" queried Remus.
Shaking his head Harry answered, "None that are important now. Shouldn't you be getting read to go for breakfast?"
"Yeah and so should you,"
"I'm not hungry," replied Harry yawning, "I think I'll go back to bed, then grab something from the kitchens later,"
"Okay I'll speak to you later," responded Remus.
Getting up Remus placed a kiss on top of Harry's head before taking his lesson plans from the coffee table then left his shared quarters to go have breakfast with the rest of the staff.
Yawning again Harry got up and stumbled back over to the bedroom, entering the bedroom Harry had to suppress a laugh as Sirius was laying on his side an arm stretched out obviously trying to find his partners.
Slipping out of his dressing gown Harry crawled onto the bed and snuggling up to Sirius he fell into a restful slumber, just as he was drifting off to sleep he felt a kiss placed on his fore head and then two arms encircled him.
"So are you going to this club tonight?" asked Bethany taking a bite of toast.
"Yeah sounds like it could be interesting," answered Sam, "Besides I want to speak to Mr. Potter,"
"You have got to drop this thing with him," replied Melanie shortly.
Sighing Sam countered, "You don't understand Mel, and it's just something I need to do."
With that said the bell sounded and the three first years moved from the Great Hall and to there first lesson of the day; Potions with Professor. Snape.
Harry woke to Sirius kissing his face; blinking away the remnants of sleep Harry hummed contently.
"Morning," greeted Sirius, kissing Harry's forehead again.
"Good morning," replied Harry, "What's with all the kisses?"
"Well since we found out about you carrying the twins we haven't been able to do anything with you," explained Sirius.
Sighing Harry responded, "You know we can't do anything whilst I'm pregnant besides I don't really want to do anything,"
"That's understandable Harry," replied Sirius, "Besides I was only commenting."
Harry just nodded as he rested his head against Sirius chest. It had been a long time-a month- and although Harry didn't mind all the kissing and cuddling he really didn't want to sleep with either of his partners, well not yet anyway.
"I know, anyway what time is it?" queried Harry.
"Nearly lunch time," answered Sirius, "Why you so interested in the time?"
"Because I promised Remus I would have something to eat," replied Harry quietly.
"Harry why didn't you have breakfast?" asked Sirius.
Sighing Harry answered, "I woke up early extremely early by time I realized what time it was I was tired so I cam back to bed,"
"What woke you up?" questioned Sirius concerned.
"Just an old nightmare anyway I'm hungry so let's get ready for lunch" answered Harry avoiding the subject of his nightmare.
Sighing Sirius let the subject drop for now but he knew that if it re-occurred then he wouldn't let it go so easily.
The two of them spent their lunch with Remus in the Great Hall and again Harry spotted the three first years talking quietly to each other at the Hufflepuff table.
Sam, Beth, and Mel were making their way up to the fifth floor where there was a old classroom were the new club was being held in.
Sam had donned some jeans with a purple t-shirt and he Hufflepuff school robe on top, her hair was plaited and reached down the middle of her back.
Beth was still in her school robes with her hair down and back-pack on she was going to make a start on her very first essay for Transfiguration.
Melanie was also still wearing her school and she had put her hair up in a pony tail, unfortunately she wasn't looking forward to the club as much as the other two. Melanie knew of the Dark Lord and she knew that her parents were silent followers of him and she was raised to believe that Lord Voldemort had done great things despite being killed by Harry Potter.
Ten minutes later the three girls were standing outside the classroom door, taking a claiming breath Samantha turned the handle and opened the door then stepped in.
In the room were two sections of people, one section of people seemed to be doing homework quietly on the right hand side. The second lot of people seemed to be talking or playing chess or something else and there up at the old teachers desk sat Harry Potter quietly scribbling away on a piece of parchment.
"Well I've got homework, so I'll talk to you later," commented Beth going to the right hand side.
"I see someone from Slytherin I'll see you later Sam and Oh do get him to explain what happened," added Melanie going over to the left.
Sighing Sam took one last look around the room and started walking towards Harry. There was one thing about the students in the room and that was not many of them had their school uniform still on.
"Can I help you?" asked Harry.
"Um... I... well..." stuttered Sam.
Smiling kindly Harry replied, "Why don't you sit down then tell me," and he conjured another chair.
Nodding mutely Sam took the seat besides Harry and tried to settle her nervousness.
"So what your name?" asked Harry, folding over the piece of parchment he'd been writing on.
"Samantha or Sam," answered Sam quickly.
"Well Sam what can I help you with?" questioned Harry.
"I... I need to ask you something," answered Sam.
"Well as k away," encouraged Harry.
Taking a deep breath Sam replied, "What happened when Cedric was killed?"
Of all the things Harry had answered in his lifetime none could have prepared him for that question again in the same lifetime. Oh Merlin how do I answer this, there is only a few people who know all of it, thought Harry.
"Look Miss?"
"Diggory, Samantha Diggory,"
"Diggory? As in Cedric Diggory?" asked Harry astounded.
"I'm sorry Mr. Potter I shouldn't have said anything," apologized Sam getting up to leave.
"Wait!" called Harry, "Samantha if you stay behind afterwards I'll tell you,"
"Thank you Mr. Potter," thanked Sam.
"Oh and Sam, its Harry," called Harry.
Smiling Sam went to join her friend Melanie at the table and began chatting way.
Two hours later and everyone was gathering there stuff and leaving, after everyone had left Harry cast silencing and eavesdropping charms on the room.
"Now Sam what I am about to say can not go any further that you is that understood?" questioned Harry sternly.
"Yes," answered Sam.
"Cedric and I were both at the Triwizard cup together we argued as to who should talk it, it was me who suggested we bothtake it," explained Harry in pained voice, "We took hold of the cup and it port keyed us to a grave yard we both thought it was just part of the tournament. Cedric suggested we take our wands out, not five minutes later my scar felt like it was on fire. There was a movement then someone muttered a curse even though I had my eyes closed I saw the flash of green light of the killing curse. I was then bound to a headstone and gagged and then I was forced to watch as Tom Riddle resurrected himself,"
"Tom Riddle who is that?" asked Sam in a whisper.
"Tom Maravlo Riddle re-arrange the letters you get I am Lord Voldemort," answered Harry, "After Tome was resurrected he challenged me to a duel I was given my wand back and we began duelling. Half-way through we both cast at the same time our wands connected and it began showing us who Tom had killed Cedric cam out and told me to take his body back to his parents. So there you have it," finished Harry.
Sam was crying as she replied, "You were very brave, so was my cousin. Thank you for bringing his body back it meant a lot to my family."
Before Harry could reply Samantha Diggory had left the room. Slowly Harry got up removed the charms and made his way back to his quarters.
As he entered his shared rooms, he found Sirius and Remus sitting up and waiting for him. He didn't know why but at that moment his emotions went into over drive and he bolted into the bedroom crying shortly followed by Sirius and Remus.
"Harry?" asked Sirius.
"She was related to him," choked out Harry.
"Who's related to who?" asked Remus.
"That girl in the hall at the welcoming feast her name is Samantha Diggory she is Cedric niece," snapped Harry.
They both went over and hugged Harry to show their support. Although Harry had grieved for everyone they had lost he hadn't ever really had the time to properly grieve for the very first casualty of the second war; Cedric Diggory.
The three of them spent that night in each others arms, Harry cried himself into exhaustion and Sirius and Remus fell to sleep worried about the next day and how Harry would cope.
