Hey ya'll!
Just another authors note, my apologies, but I have good news! We just broke 1 THOUSAND HITS! Woo! Telepathic hugs to all! :P
Anyway, because of this great achievement (in my opinion at least), I'm gonna give you a sneak peak of the next chapter! Yay!
So enjoy your little glimpse into the future!
~~~~~~~FUTURE GLIMPSE~~~~~~
Cedric wakes, his head is in a daze and the world seems to be spinning. His eyes refocus, and he can finally see where he is. He's in a dark room, not well furnished with a chair in the corner and a small coffee table next to him. A television set, an old bulky one, sits on it. Cedric's eyes dart around the room, looking for anything that can help him escape. His search is left near fruitless for the only possible escape route is the door on the other side of the room, which, he knows for certain, is locked. He struggles against his bonds, his hands and feet tied and strapped to a rather uncomfortable chair. He sighs in defeat, slumping against the chair. He waits for anything, a sound, a person…
He is granted with both.
(*Mysterious Person Who Will Remain Anonymous Until You Read The Next Chapter)
MPWWRAUYRTNC: Hello, Cedric.
Cedric: *gasp* YOU.
MPWWRAUYRTNC: Yes, Cedric. ME.
Cedric: But that's impossible!
MPWWRAUYRTNC: Nothing is impossible, dear Cedric.
Cedric: Let me go! The ministry will hear about this, and you'll be done for!
MPWWRAUYRTNC: Oh really, is that so? Fine, you are free to leave. *unties Cedric's restraints* The door is unlocked.
As soon as Cedric is free of his bonds, he runs with all his might towards the door. Turning the knob, he finds that it is indeed unlocked. He inwardly rejoices, excited to see his Harry as soon as possible. He turns the knob and is about to push open the door when…
MPWWRAUYRTNC: *sigh* How sad, I was rather fond of that Potter boy. Such a pity that he'll have to die such a painful death…
Cedric stops in his tracks, frozen. His heart stops and for a minute there is silence you feel you could cut with a knife. And then Cedric erupts.
Cedric: No! Don't you DARE touch Harry!
Cedric runs back towards his captor, catching their collar and pushing them up against the wall. He is furious, blind with rage and if looks could kill, his captor would be dead on the floor.
MPWWRAUYRTNC: Well, then we have quite the dilemma! Don't you see, Cedric, you can go! Tell the Ministry of my treachery, whatever you please! You'll be a hero! But if you do decide to go, you condemn that Potter boy you like so much to a bitter end.*evil smile* Get the picture?
Cedric growls, tightening his grip on the smiling villain's neck.
MPWWRAUYRTNC: If you choose to stay, however, the boy will live.
For a moment, Cedric lets hope swell up in his chest. If he stays, Harry will live and eventually (hopefully) he will be rescued. No one will get hurt. But his captor's next words squash his small tiny hope into oblivion.
MPWWRAUYRTNC: However, I have a plan. *grins evilly* You see, I don't really like the way things are being run in the Ministry, in the Wizarding World, right now. It's too… what's the word, sheltered. Nothing really bad has happened in a while. *pure evil begins to seep into his voice* I think they need a little reminder that there are still people with darkness in their hearts.
Cedric has to admit that he is getting seriously terrified by the tone of voice the villain was using. It scares him.
MPWWRAUYRTNC: You see, I plan on going on a little… spree. *another evil grin man this guy likes smiling evilly a lot* Not a shopping spree, not a drinking spree…
Cedric gulps. There was only one other word he could think of. KILLING SPREE,
MPWWRAUYRTNC: I think you get the message. But hey, it's your call. You can save your little lover boy's life, for the small price of someone else's. *goddamn ANOTHER evil smile* Well, maybe a few more than just one someone…
Cedric doesn't know what to do. He is torn between the two.
MPWWRAUYRTNC: Personally, I would pick the boy's life. He's quite the charmer, and not so heavy on the eyes if I say so myself…
Cedric growls, angered at the idea of this dangerous lunatic liking, even THINKING about his beloved wizard.
MPWWRAUYRTNC: What? I'm simply admiring the boy's obvious attractiveness. I'm not ashamed to say that I find him sexy, hot, adorable, and so on and so forth. You should be happy that I would tap that. Shows you what a great catch he is. *whispers barely audible* But he won't be yours for long…
Cedric doesn't hear that last comment, or he would have truly lost it. He had already tightened his grip with each and every appraising compliment this maniac bestowed upon Harry, HIS Harry.
MPWWRAUYRTNC: It's your choice, Cedric.
Cedric releases the menace, walking back over to the chair where he had originally been trapped. He has a choice to make. He can put behind bars a menace who would terrorize the wizarding world; he would be welcomed back like a hero, he would be responsible for the saving of perhaps thousands of innocent lives. But by doing so, he would lose the most important thing in his life, his soul mate, the love of his life. After what seems like a million years, he sits back down in the chair, head hung in defeat.
MPWWRAUYRTNC: That's what I thought.
Cedric: Why have you brought me here?
MPWWRAUYRTNC: You have something that I want…
Cedric: What is it? Say it and it's yours! Just don't hurt Harry…
MPWWRAUYRTNC: *UGH smiles evilly AGAIN* Excellent. I want…
~~~~~~~END FUTURE GLIMPSE~~~~~~
Awwwww, it's over already? She left it at a cliffy, too! Meh, I hate her…
Don't worry, just kidding. :P
Sorry I was so long and descriptive, but I went into supersonic fanfic mode. I know it doesn't fit the usual carefree and fun air as this story usually does (except for the comments about the mystery persons never ending evil grins :P), so sorry if it disappoints.
Oh, and just so you know, this will not actually be in the next chapter. Don't worry! It actually did happen in the story, it will play out like it did happen, you WILL find out who the mysterious person is, but this particular excerpt will NOT be featured in the next chapter. Why? Because the next chapter is gonna be set in the cottage with Bella and Edward and Harry (who is crying again by the way, he's still sad about Cedric) and everyone. There will be a tiny snippet where you find out what the mystery person wants and who the mystery person is and such, but I don't wanna make the chapter TOO long. But there you go! That's what's goin on with Cedric, so don't be worried that he's dead or something, cuz he's not (yet, I haven't decided yet O.o). Man, Ced must really love Harry if he's willing to let a bunch of people die just so that he won't *coughcoughWHIPPEDcoughcough*
Well I hope you like your little glimpse into the future, til next time!

And Harry, who is still crying
