Cedric Diggory (September/October, 1977 – 24 June, 1995) was the son of Amos Diggory and his. Ken Rex McElroy’s Lost Son. The figure sitting across from me at the small table only barely resembled the young man I had met almost twenty years ago. That fellow had blonde hair and was buffed out. This guy had dark hair. Remember Cedric Diggory. He started attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1. Hufflepuff House. During his time at school he was a prefect and captained the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, playing as Seeker. In his sixth year Cedric put his name forward to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. Cedric and Harry completed the Third Task together. Both took hold of the Triwizard Cup, which transported them to the Little Hangleton graveyard. In the graveyard Cedric was murdered by Peter Pettigrew with the Killing Curse, on the order of Lord Voldemort. His only request was for Harry to take his body back to his parents, which Harry honoured.
One such excursion, which resulted in Diggory's humiliating defeat in the First Task, creating an alternate timeline in which Diggory still tied to win the tournament and was killed by Lord Voldemort, but there were many key differences. The second incursion caused Diggory to fail the Second Task as well, thus resulting in him losing the tournament. In this new, grim alternate timeline, Diggory did not win the tournament and thus was spared from Lord Voldemort. In his humiliation, however, he became a Death Eater and eventually killed Neville Longbottom, thus preventing Longbottom's slaughter of the snake Nagini. Voldemort reigned supreme, with Dumbledore's Army in hiding and Dolores Umbridge as Headmistress of Hogwarts. Both incursions were later corrected by a further trip back in time and the use of Shield Charms to prevent the original incidents which stopped Cedric Diggory from completing the first two tasks. Harry Potter would later take his son Albus to visit Diggory's grave, something which he himself often did, simply to say sorry for a life that had been stolen. He grew up near Ottery St Catchpole. He started attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on 1 September, 1. Originally, the match should have taken place between Gryffindor and Slytherin, but Draco Malfoy played on the fact that his arm had been injured by the hippogriff. Buckbeak to get out of playing in stormy conditions. During the match, Cedric and Harry Potter contested the Golden Snitch. However, Harry was overcome by the presence of Dementors and fell from his broom. Cedric caught the Golden Snitch, but as soon as he realised what had happened to Harry, he immediately offered to replay the match. The Gryffindor captain, Oliver Wood, declined the offer, knowing that Cedric had won the match fair and square. In 1. 99. 4, Cedric was one of the first to congratulate Harry on obtaining a Firebolt to replace his old broom. Being of age, Cedric submitted his name to the Goblet of Fire for the chance to become the Hogwarts Champion. On 3. 1 October, the Goblet chose the champions to represent the three schools; Fleur Delacour for Beauxbatons, Viktor Krum for Durmstrang, and Cedric himself for Hogwarts. Cedric joined the other champions in a small room off the Great Hall, and was surprised to learn that after he had left the Hall, the Goblet had produced a fourth name — Harry Potter. Despite Harry's protestations, Cedric did not believe Harry at all. I've asked them not to wear them. Enchanted badges became popular around the school that read Support CEDRIC DIGGORY — the REAL Hogwarts Champion!, then changed to read POTTER STINKS. Cedric, however, was not fond of the badges and asked his friends not to wear them. As part of the Tournament, Cedric took part in the Wand Weighing ceremony conducted by Garrick Ollivander, who deemed his wand . However, his entry into the Tournament was completely overlooked by Rita Skeeter's article on the event in favour of Harry, a situation about which his father was most displeased. That's the first task. Cedric was the only Champion not to be aware of them, and Harry felt it was only fair to tell him so everyone would be on an even footing. Cedric drew the Swedish Short- Snout and the number one slot, so entered the arena first to attempt to retrieve the golden egg it was guarding. Facing the dragon, Cedric transfigured a rock into a Labrador to distract the creature. While the dragon turned to chase the dog, Cedric went for the Golden egg. Although he retrieved it, the dragon lost interest in the dog, preferring to go after Cedric. The dragon burned Cedric on the side of his face, and he barely managed to get away from it. He was tended to by Madam Pomfrey, who applied an orange paste to his face to heal the wound. I'm sure you would've done the same for me. You know the prefects' bathroom on the fifth floor? It's not a bad place for a bath. Just take your egg and.. He was aided by Barty Crouch Jr, disguised as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Alastor . He took it into the prefects' bathroom on the fifth floor, and opened the egg underwater. He heard the clue, but it took him a while to figure out that it referred to the merpeople in the lake. He asked Cho Chang to attend the ball with him, and she accepted. Towards the end of the ball, Cedric found Harry and told him to take the egg into the bath and . As repayment for warning him about the dragons, he gave Harry access to the Prefect's Bathroom to work out the clue. Having deciphered the clue in the golden egg, Cedric knew he had to breathe underwater for at least an hour and retrieve something that had been stolen from him. He effectively employed the Bubble- Head Charm, and reached the merpeople village shortly after Harry. He found that his something that he would . He warned Harry — who was worried about the other . He arrived one minute outside the hour time limit, and received forty- seven points. After two tasks, he was tied for first place with Harry.! You saved me, take it! Along with Harry, Cedric was dismayed to see the Quidditch pitch overgrown, but was assured by Bagman that the pitch would be returned to normal following the conclusion of the Tournament. During the meeting, his father confronted Harry over the coverage he had been receiving in the press at the expense of his son. Cedric tried to calm him down and explain that it was not Harry's fault, then apologised to Harry. They split up, each hoping to be the first to get to the Triwizard Cup placed in the centre of the maze. Soon after, Cedric encountered one of Rubeus Hagrid's now gigantic Blast- Ended Skrewts, and narrowly escaped being burned by it. After the Skrewt, Cedric came across Viktor Krum. Krum — who was under the Imperius Curse at the time — attacked Cedric with the Cruciatus Curse. He was saved by Harry, who stunned Krum, and reluctantly shot red sparks into the air to mark Krum's position, so that the Durmstrang champion could be retrieved from the maze. Despite being briefly united, he and Harry split apart again to seek the cup. From his left, an Acromantula burst onto the path and attacked him. His wand was knocked out of his hand, but the timely arrival of Harry distracted it enough for Cedric to recover his own wand. Although the giant spider was too powerful to be brought down by a single spell, Harry and Cedric both stunned it at the same time. Recovering, the two of them found themselves next to the Triwizard Cup. Having been saved by Harry twice in the maze, Cedric urged him to take the Cup. The two argued about who should take it and win the Tournament, each pointing out that they had been helped by the other. Eventually, Harry suggested that they both take it for a Hogwarts victory. Pleased, Cedric helped the injured Harry towards the Cup, and they both took hold of it. Their touch activated the Cup, which had been turned into a Portkey, and the two of them were transported to the Little Hangleton graveyard. Cedric was lying spread- eagled on the ground beside him. Confused, Cedric recommended proceeding with wands out until they knew what was going on. Soon after their arrival, Peter Pettigrew emerged from the darkness carrying the small form of Lord Voldemort. Voldemort ordered Pettigrew to . After Voldemort was reborn, he and Harry engaged in a duel, during which their wands — which shared a wand core from the same phoenix — connected, creating the effect known as Priori Incantatem, the backward spell effect. Voldemort's wand began regurgitating the last spells it had cast in reverse. Cedric's shadow emerged from Voldemort's wand, along with the shadows of Frank Bryce, Bertha Jorkins, and James and Lily Potter. Harry agreed, and when he broke the wand connection, the shadows advanced on Voldemort, shielding Harry. Harry used the opportunity to take hold of Cedric's body, then summon the Cup to himself and transport them both back to Hogwarts. The crowd that had gathered for the Third Task erupted into screams when they realised what had happened, and Cedric's parents were grief- stricken by the fate that had been befallen their son (although his mother attempted to console herself by reflecting that Cedric had not suffered in death, and that he had died after winning the Tournament, believing that the victory would have made him happy). Dumbledore delivered a tribute to Cedric, and relayed the events that had led to his death to the student body, telling them, against the explicit wishes of the Ministry of Magic, that the young Hufflepuff had been murdered by Lord Voldemort himself. Cedric Diggory was as you all know, exceptionally hard working, infinitely fair- minded and most importantly a fierce, fierce friend. Now I think therefore you have the right to know exactly how he died. You see, Cedric Diggory was murdered by Lord Voldemort. The Ministry of Magic does not wish me to tell you this, but not to do so I think would be an insult to his memory. He also slandered Harry Potter as a liar and questioned Albus Dumbledore's sanity. His death was heartfelt and was tragic enough to cause even those who disliked Harry Potter to believe his claims of Voldemort's return. Harry Mc. Kneely & Son. Billie Jean Tisdale - October 2. Billie Jean Tisdale, 5. Ponchatoula, Louisiana, passed away Friday, October 2. Ben Taub Hospital in Houston, TX. Billie was born on Tuesday, January 1, 1.
