#this is the only time ill entertain ced's death in a fic bc the angst is tew good

[deusfoundry]

no but chat the potential for angst that a cedric x muggle!reader fic has ... you meet him the summer before his sixth year. your time together is short, fleeting, barely two months of seeing each other almost everyday, but you fall so helplessly in love with him. he asks if you could write to each other while he's away because they're not allowed their phones in the boarding school he attends, and it's a bit weird at first, writing handwritten letters, but you go along with it.

his letters are filled with vague details about his time at school. he tells you about this interschool competition he's been selected to participate in, he says it's dangerous but he's been loving every second of it so far so you wish him the best of luck on the footnote of every single one of your letters.

but then, the letters stop. a week goes by without cedric sending a reply to your letter, but you hold out hope that maybe he's just caught up in his studies or that competition, even though he always tells you if he'll take a little longer to reply.

summer comes and you haven't heard from him in two weeks, but you're still hoping, wishing with your fingers crossed twice that cedric is gonna magically pop up in the booth you usually occupy at that cafe down the street. that he'll come and finally tell you more about the tournament he joined like he promised he would in one of his letters.

you have no idea that he's dead, that all it took was a flick of a wooden stick and half a second to end his life. he's never told anyone about you, not even his parents, so you're left in the dark for the rest of your life, forever wondering what happened to the boy you've given your heart to over the summer.
