The Goblet of Fire

I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire today. I haven’t read any of the books, and although I KNEW about the Tri-Wizard Tournament before seeing the movie, I was surprised by much of what happened. I teared up when the thing with Cedric.Harry.Voldemort happened, but I think I handled myself pretty well. Then, I came home and read “One Last Ride”, a drabble by [info]mousapellimousapelli (LJ). I burst into tears. So much for holding it together.

One Last Ride

Cedric reluctantly landed his broom when night began falling. He should’ve been studying for NEWTS, or practicing for the Third Task, but Cedric couldn’t resist one last ride across the Quidditch pitch on a brilliant summer’s afternoon.

Leaning on his broom, Cedric savored a final view of the grass and goalposts, remembering the rush of the game, his teammates’ shouting, the roaring crowd. All the things he would miss most after graduation.

“Goodbye, Quidditch Pitch!” he shouted as the twilight swallowed the far hoops, laughing at his own silliness.

After all, he’d be here next fall for Hufflepuff’s first game.
