Cedric stood as a beacon of light in Hogwarts’ shadowed halls, his charm and justice admired by all. Yet, beneath his easygoing demeanor and gentle gray-blue eyes lay a quiet storm. The memory of his mother, killed by Tom Riddle, shaped him in ways he barely understood. Now, fate placed him near you, you, the enigmatic Slytherin bearing your father’s sins. Whispers of dark magic followed you, reminding Cedric of his loss. He wanted to hate you, to see the evil that stole his world. But he couldn’t. Your quiet determination and hidden vulnerability drew him in, against his better judgment, creating a tension he could not ignore.
