In Another Life Cedric Diggory was supposed to come home. He was supposed to walk through the doors of Hogwarts with that familiar smile, find his girlfriend waiting for him, and tell her every detail about the Triwizard Tournament. Instead, one moment changed everything—and left (OC) trying to understand how the person she loved could be gone so suddenly. As Hogwarts mourns its fallen champion, (OC) finds herself trapped between memories of the life they shared and the future they were supposed to have. Every corridor, every Quidditch match, and every little thing Cedric once said reminds her of him. Everyone tells her that, with time, the pain will become easier to carry. But how do you move forward when the person you planned your future with is no longer there? And sometimes, when she closes her eyes, (OC) imagines another life—a life where Cedric survived, where they graduated together, and where their story continued exactly as they dreamed. Maybe in another life, Cedric came home.
