I walk into the Hospital Wing, the morning after the miracle. I still can't help being amazed. Cedric, he died! But…somehow…he came back to life. Of course, I spent all night reading up if there are any know spells, enchantments or curses that can bring a dead body back to life, but I found none. I even searched the restricted section! But I still found nothing.
So as I walked apprehensively into the Hospital Wing, I was struck with a horrid thought, what if Cedric was an inferi. You know, dead people enchanted to do whoevers work. Merlin, what if You-Know-Who had enchanted Cedric to kill me, or to get to Harry?
I can't come here. I have to go!
"Hermione?"
Oh god, Cedric woke up. I must have been talking to myself again. Curses! Why do I do that?
"Ummm…Cedric?"
"Of course I'm Cedric. Who else would I be?" he said, with a wicked little grin.
I laughed nervously. I can't believe it. I'm having a conversation with an inferi.
"Are you OK Hermione? You look really awkward…and nervous…and is that fear I see? Your scared of me?"
I was off in my own world. Still unable to think of a way to get out of here.
"HERMIONE?"
"Huh? What? Yes?"
"Your scared of me aren't you?"
"What? NO? No, no, no… Sorry. I'm just…wondering…how are you still alive?"
"Why wishing I'm dead?" He didn't say it in a mean way, but kind of hurt, but trying (and failing) to make it sound like a joke.
"NO! How can you think that. We have been going out for over a year! I would die without you. That's how I felt when you temporarily died yesterday. But, I've been looking, reading, theres absolutely NO spell or anything to bring back the dead. So I was just wondering, if you got hit by a Killing Curse, how your still alive."
"I think I can answer that Miss Granger"
Professor Dumbledore had entered the room.
