⌜robert pattinson, twenty-four, cis man, he/him / till i collapse by eminem + survivor’s guilt, always studying and looking for new spells for dueling, constant state of readiness/ preparedness ( never wants to be caught off guard and lose a friend again) ⌟ hey, have you met CEDRIC DIGGORY yet? the PUREBLOOD is a SIXTH YEAR at hogwarts and are a HUFFLEPUFF makes sense given they tend to be a bit HONORABLE and BROODING. it seems the death of the boy who lived has placed them on the LIGHT side of the looming war. let’s just hope they make it out alive.
full name: cedric diggory
date of birth: September 1st
place of birth: devon, england
family: only son of Amos Diggory.
sexual orientation: straight. can come off with having bisexual vibes but has no real interest in the other side.
tattoos: A badger on his left shoulder. He got it in secret when with friends on a night on the town. not even his dad knows about it.
style: skinny jeans and converse are the staples to every outfit. v-neck shirts with a leather jacket on cold nights. on cooler days a hoodie can replace the jacket.
amos diggory was always in the background and never in the forefront. as a student we nothing to write home about and wasn't part of any teams or organizations. when he met his wife it was love at first sight. they settled down immediately and year later cedric was born. during the first wizarding war his wife wanted be on the frontlines but amos insisted on keeping a low profile. she ran off to help during the final days of the war and was killed. cedric is all he has left in this world. his heart grew each day seeing cedric being the person he always wished to be. popular, smart, athletic, prefect, seeker, and in several clubs. his heart almost stopped the day of the third event. for a moment he thought it was cedric lying there on the ground lifeless and cold. his last season found him in portree, where he ultimately settled after connecting with sorcha. it wasn't love but it made sense. it was time to marry, she wanted children, and kelly was desperate to carve a different legacy.
cedric being an only child he surprisingly made friends really quickly. he was always the life of the party, even though he preferred to keep a low profile. his dad was always bragging and carrying on about his accomplishments, to the point that cedric was embarrassed by them. being a seeker for hufflepuff brought him joy and being a prefect was more of a thing to do. cedric is always in the middle of the action but wishes to go back to the good ole days of when he was little and could be alone. oh well, always better to have too many friends than not enough. that is until the day of the third event. that day changed cedric forever. no more going out, no more quidditch, he even gave up being a prefect. from that day on he cared about one thing and one thing only. making sure to be strong enough to ensure that he could save the life of the people around him.
these days you can find cedric either in the library studying or out somewhere working on a new spell. cedric doesn't sleep much these days. those events just replaying in his head over and over again. what if he was able to defeat krum sooner. harry wouldn't had gotten a head start to the cup. what if he acted quicker and the vines didn't get him. would he had noticed something wrong with the cup, after all harry was younger and way more inexperienced than him.
being withdrawn has it's obvious drawbacks. his friends have moved on, no more admiration from the younger students, even his dad has stopped talking about him so much. his dad almost speaks as if cedric died that day. it doesn't matter to cedric, from here on out it is about getting stronger. he doesn't exactly know what happened out there but he knows what he felt. a dark magic something pulling him away from the cup while pushing harry to it. he isn't sure what is out there but he will be ready next time.
when cedric is out amongst his peers it is in more of a background role. no more being the life of the party. now he sits there and chats as people come up to him but he is more or less gauging whether or not they sense something isn't right in the wizarding world as well. as if the balance has been thrown off.
he is always finding someone new to duel. figuring he can either help improve their skills or learn something new from them. he is able to use his natural charm that made him so popular to make it seem more like a joke than anything. with each new skill or spell he learns he writes it down in his notebook and who he learned it from.
the days of him being a leader are over. he feels like he spent too much time at the front that he missed easy lessons that could've served him in the tournament. the little time he spends socializing these days is a going through the motions more than anything. the people he feels closest to these days are the regulars at the library. just passing greetings and goodbyes no real talking but they are the ones he spends most of his time with.
his mission this year is to get into the restricted section as much as possible. finding all new kinds of spells to add to his arsenal. always trying to find a professor to grant him access but not making it so obvious that he is wanting to be there for anything other than academic purposes is the main goal. it isn't too hard as teachers like everyone else liked cedric and after last year even sympathize with him. though, throughout t the year cedric knows it will be harder and harder to get access he soaks up every minute he can in there.
overall cedric is a shell of his former self. he tries to keep up appearances as his dad even talked about him not returning if he didn't get back to the old cedric. so cedric does what he has to in order to play the part but he would much rather be in the forbidden forest practicing a new spell than in the court yard talking about one of his heroic feats in a quidditch match from long ago.
