Maybe it was the future- Cedric Diggory 
                          
This year when Cedric would return to Hogwarts his girlfriend would be joining him. Y/N had been a Hogwarts student herself however her mother had made the girl change schools during her second year. The Hufflepuff girl who had been Hermione Granger's best friend, the one who would spend hours in the library reading books and doing homework. And often would take walks and admire nature with Ernie Macmillian, and Zacharias Smith. And the girl would would spend a few hours talking with Hannah Abbot and Susan Bones in their common room, and or their dormitories. But once Y/N had been found in the chamber of secerts barely alive, her mother moved her to Beauxbatons.
                          
"This castle will not only be your home this year, but home to so very special guests as well." Dumbledore told the Hogwarts student's as Filch made his way up to him. Excitement buzzing in Cedric almost instantly, Y/N had to her that she would be joining the Beauxbatons girls at her old school. Then they were introduced, the ladies in blue waltzing into the room.
                          
"Beauxbatons Academy" Dumbledore announced as they blew butterflies and they danced passed. Everyone looked at them in awe they were all beautiful. Zacharias's eyes trailed over a familiar y/h/c hair coloured girls head towards her curves. But was cut off when she twirled and blew a beautiful blue butterfly, it flew to Cedric and the curly haired boy caught it, being gentle with it. It was so pretty with thousands of speckled blue glitter before it burst into specs of blue before him. So elegant. He blew her a kiss which caused a thick red blush to drift on her cheeks. Susan was amazed, her best friend looked absolutely amazing. But yet looked exactly the same too.
                          
"Ah Miss L/Y/N, so wonderful to see you again my dear." Dumbledore said to Y/N as she courtesy before him before taking his old frail hand and giving him a firm handshake. A soft smile etched up her face as she was motioned towards the Tables and without another word she was passing the students towards Cedric. Ernie Macmillian's eyes filled with love as she gracefully sat down next to her long term boyfriend who instantly took the smaller girl in his arms.
                          
"Y/N you grew up gorgeous." He muttered pressing a sloppy kiss to her cheek causing her to pull back immediately in disgust but then light kiss him smiling. She didn't listen as the Drumstrang Students entered nor did she listen as Crouch talked about the Tri Wizard cup as her eyes found Cedrics hand which was tracing patterns into her thigh. But she did pick up the Weasley Twins. Her favourite tricksters.
                          
"That's Rubbish." The screamed causing Y/N to giggle but then remembered her training so she controlled and sat up straight almost like a doll. 
                          
The Champions would be pulled from the cup any minute now, Y/N sat with her hand intertwined with Cedric as every boy stared at her once more.
                          
"And from Beauxbatons Academy, Y/N. Surely that can't be right." Dumbledore announced grabbing the two pieces of paper and turning around to Crouch who motioned for him to continue. The younger girl standing up and walking over to Professor Snape, she could have sworn she saw pain flash in Snape's eyes as she shook his hand before walking through the small door. 
                          
Unlike Viktor who stood around for answers, Y/N made her way over to a chest of drawers and sat on top. But then Cedric walked in and Y/N ran towards him, tears in her eyes. Cedric just took the girl in his arms, inhaling the sweet scent of her hair as she cried into his chest. And then capturing her lips with his, his hands on her warm cheeks and she grabbed his shirt. Before pulling away and noticing Viktor's gaze on the objects in the room. But then she watched Harry Potter enter, her jaw dropping. Harry was one of Hermione's closest friend so she would be forced to compete against her friend. She had zoned out with her head in Cedric's hard chest. She heard them talking about some kind of Ball and Tasks but her mind was elsewhere, she had heard about last year at Hogwarts. Was there ever a normal year at this school? 
                          
Once she had heard the news of The Yule Ball and Cho Chang planning to ask her boyfriend, she sent a patronus to Cedric requesting to see him by the whopping willow, the beautiful glittery blue bear danced through the corridors towards Ced. As predicted Cedric came flying towards the younger girl and pulled her into a hug thinking something was wrong.
                          
"Is it true? Cho?" Y/N asked nervously, rubbing the back of her neck as she looked at the older boy. His Hufflepuff robes practically glowed in the remaining Ray's of sunlight. She watched as Cedric nodded and now Y/N felt sick. The idea of her not being with Cedric made her sick. She loved Ced with her whole heart, she couldn't live without him.
                          
"Will you come to the Yule ball with me?" 
                          
Cedric's words still ringing in her head as Y/N walked down those steps beaming. Cedric, Harry and Ron waited at the bottom waiting for their dates. As usual Y/N looked beautiful, she wore a yellow dress that was slightly puffy and reminded her of Belle. Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, they looked at her like she was the best thing ever. But then Cedric stepped forward and held his hand out from her to take. A blush dusting her cheeks. As he pulled her down the rest of the stairs, the stares hogwarts and the other schools alike drifted upon her.
                          
"You look beautiful love." Cedric whispered in her ear as he tucked a strand of her hair between her ear. 
                          
She appeared first. Covered in dirt and blood. Her body covered in scratches. Viktor Krum sat next to her as they waited. It had been about 29 minutes and both champions had been changed into clean clothes. Viktor wore a dumstrang jumper and a pair of jeans, the girl wore a baggy blue shirt that definitely was Cedric's and a pair of leggings. Before joining the Weasley twins who cheered her up.
                          
He appeared. Two boys. One dressed in red crying, sobbing onto the other. And a boy in yellow, Hufflepuff colours. The crowd roared as they appeared. Hogwarts had won but very quickly the laughter and cheering died down. Noticing the death like grip on the Hufflepuff boy. He was screaming, shaking. 
                          
"He asked me to bring it back. Cedric, he asked me to bring his body back." The boy cried and the panic set in. The body, was a dead body. Emotionaless and dead. Screams filled the arena as the realisation set in. But a girl, a Beauxbaton's lady sat down in her seat. In between the weasley twins as she sat frozen. Not believing the news. 
                          
"My Boy!" Amos cried running towards the dead body as everyone looked at her. Sympathy and sad frowns. He wasn't dead. He couldn't be. 
                          
"Ced?" She questioned standing up. She pulled at the arms holding her and ran for the boy. He didn't move. Breath. Blink. Or smile. That beautiful smile she's never see again. Those sparkling brown eyes that would never look at her again. He was dead. 
                          
She shivered as the thought crossed her mind. The boy holding her close definitely noticed. His smile faltered and worried eyes met hers.
                          
"Y/N? You okay? Are you cold?" He asked looking at her. He wasn't dead. He was here holding her. Dancing with her. His hands on her hips. Hers around his waist. Nobody was dead. He was alive and stood right infront of her. She looked around, she was back in the great hall. Snowy decorations and icicles. The yule ball. She was back at the Yule ball with Ced.
                          
"Sorry just had a strange thought." She whispered and his smile appeared again. Twirling the girl as she shrugged it off. Someyhingw as wrong. It felt so real. But it wasn't. Sure not, right?
