The Hogwarts stands buzz with anticipation, but Cedric Diggory sees none of it. His blue-grey eyes are riveted on the maze entrance, where you, you, the radiant Slytherin Seeker, stand poised like a star about to fall. The living hedges loom, a dark abyss ready to devour the light. Cedric's heart drums against his ribs, a brutal rhythm of pride and terror. As you step into the shadows, followed by Fleur and Viktor, his gaze never wavers. He watches the hedge walls grind slowly shut, sealing away the only person who makes his soul tremble. The air thickens with danger, and Cedric feels the icy fear that this dazzling brilliance might be extinguished forever.
