"He Reminds me of Home" - Cedric Diggory x Reader

Cedrics POV:

I watched as Y/N's body fell to the ground, cold. The situation was too much to handle even for me. With the help of Ashley who happened to be nearby we got Y/N to the hospital wing.

"Oh my what has happened," Ms. Pomfrey said worried.

"I- I- I'm not sure she was just standing and the just passed out," Ashley said stuttering. Not that I would have said it any better I stutter when I'm nervous aswell.

Ms. Pomfrey laid Y/N down on one of the beds then doubtfully looked at us.

"I'm sorry kids but," she sighed "Since I don't really know what has happened I don't want to fix her up until she's awake. Then she can tell me what's bothering her most. I can't do much while she's asleep."

We all stood in silence glancing over at Y/N's lifeless body. A pain hitting me right in the chest. It hurt to see her hurt, she's gone through too much in less than just 6 hours.

"It's about lunch time," Ms. Pomfrey said as an effort to get us out of the hospital wing "and then you all have the rest of your classes. We wouldn't want you to miss anything!"

"Your right Ms. Pomfrey" Ashley responded "H- have a good evening." And she headed to the door.

"I've been exempt from the rest of my classes." I said in a hope to be able to stay. "From Mcgonagall herself."

"Well aren't you hungry?" Pomfrey questioned.

"No ma'am, not really" I lied

"Why don't you go get a little something and bring it back you can eat in here but as soon as lunch is over and the tardy bell rings, back to your common room."

"Yes ma'am," I didn't waste any time I ran through the corridors and up steps to the Great Hall. When I walked in I turned and headed to Hufflepuff house table.

"Heyyyyy what are you in a rush for?" Cal asked dramatically.

"To go see Y/N in the hospital wing," I shot back fast as I grabbed food and ran back through the corridors. The area around me just seemed too quiet for a normal hogwarts day. Maybe it's because everyone's at lunch? Or maybe the walls are just dingy from dirt and finger prints because they didn't wash them. Or maybe it's because when Y/N isn't around me, everything is a little duller.

I heard footsteps approaching, fast. I kept my fast pace until a face I recognized was in my peripheral vision, but not just one face two.

"Wait dude Y/N like in Y/N Dixon in the hospital wing?! ... No way it's only her first day." Cal said as he caught up with my pace.

"I thought I saw that familiar face in there when I went to go pick up helping healer pamphlets with Katy Karat." Penelope said rounding the corner of the corridor.

I wasn't paying any mind to the two of them bickering and talking about the recent events.

When we finally reached the Hospital room doors I knocked twice and took a few steps back giving the door room to swing open.

When Ms. Pomfrey opened the door and looked at who was here she seemed happy but also a little upset that more than 1 perfectly well student would be in the room.

"Well hello Mr. Diggory, Mr. Dixon, and Miss. Clearwater pleasure to see you all, I assume your here to see Miss. Y/N Dixon." Ms. Pomfrey said and paused for a moment as if debating what she was going to say next. "Come in." She said and stepped aside giving us room to walk through.

Walking through the doors I looked up Y/Ns still body not having moving an inch since the last time I saw her, (as we expected.) Her frozen form still remaining in the 3rd bed from the front on the right side.

I ate my tad bit of lunch sitting next to Y/N, talking to her. While Ms. Pomfrey, Cal, and Penelope talked about training in healing. I still sat there, seeing her brown hair scattered across the pillow and her eye lids the were like gates holding in an emerald treasure.

I sat there zoning out, I looked down a bit and I saw her hand there limp by her still setting. I picked her hand barely jumping at the slightly cold touch. But the more I held my pamn under hers the more I realized her hand was colder than it should have been for just being knocked out her hand was .... Ice cold.

"M- M- Ms. Pomfrey" I said my voice trembling.

"Yes dear? Is something wrong?" She asked back questioning as she turned from Cal and hers conversation.

"Possibly?" I said unsure if my brain was just playing tricks.

Pomfrey walked over and peered over me "What seems to be the matter."

"Is her hand supposed to be that cold?" I asked tilting my head for effect

Ms. Pomfrey laughed 'laughed'  "Oh no dear her hand just feels cold because of the decrease in body heat but I'll check again."

"Thank you" I said almost slightly.

Ms. Pomfrey picked up Y/N's hand and her face turned white. She immediately got up and ran to her antibiotics shelf.

"What seems to be the matter Ms. Pomfrey?." Penelope questioned her.

"T- Th- Th- The C- C- Child," Ms. Pomfrey said as she rummaged through a box of blue and white pieces of paper.

I instantly felt weak
What's wrong with her?
What happened while I wasn't here?
Will she be okay?
Curse?
Attack?
Is this something unfixable?

Ms. Pomfrey pulled out a blue bottle, Yellow bottle, black bottle, and a white bottle. She started to speedily mixing the mystery items together. The smell was erotic almost unbearable, but I tolerated it the scent was the last thing on my mind.

I turned slightly to let Pomfrey through with the concoction. She took her thumb and dipped it in to the glass, then rub the mystery mix on Y/Ns hand, for a second it was like she woke up... But that event was short lived by taking over in stillness and silence.

"What happened to her?" I asked, me still being my curious self.

"Mr. Diggory," she paused for a second "Miss. Dixon here, she took an extremly dangerous hit to the head," she paused... "What I'm trying to say is ...... Cedric you saved her life." "If I hadn't of known she was as cold as she was, I wouldn't have gotten her the medicine properly or on time...... She would have faded."

"Mr. Diggory, Thank you"
