WHO: Cedric Diggory and Benjy Fenwick
WHERE: The Hufflepuff common room
WHEN: March 4, 2008, mid afternoon
WHAT: Meeting for the first time in person
RATING: PG
In Progress

Cedric looked around the common room and smiled to himself, it looked exactly the same it even smelled the same. That was a comfort, something that hadn’t changed. He’d spent the morning with professor McGonagall sorting out his schedule and everything. It was strange to go into the headmaster’s office and see her sitting behind the desk, he had been hoping it would be Dumbledore not that he wasn’t glad to see her. McGonagall had always been one of his favorite professors but Dumbledore seemed to always know exactly what was going on no matter what the situation.

But now his stuff was unpacked and everyone else it seemed was in their afternoon classes. He was to join them the next day so collecting a book from one of his favorite authors, which had been published after his death Cedric flopped down into one of the overstuffed armchairs to catch up on his reading.

Benjy was considering a list. He wanted to have a written record of all of the things that were wrong with coming back from the dead, but so far he had resisted doing so because he felt that it would only promote negative emotions in himself and that was not the way to get adjusted to a new life. Positive thinking induced positive actions. Dwelling on everything that stunk about this new time wasn't helping anyone.

But he would admit that he was highly bored re-taking all of the classes that he had taken during his last term at Hogwarts. He understood the theory, how magic could change and get updated and whatever over 30 years, but from a school that had been open for 1000 years? Curriculum really hadn't changed that much. And so, Benjy wasn't feeling guilty at all as he skipped his Charms class. Not even slightly.

He discreetly made his way back to the Hufflepuff common room, intending to go up to his dorm and borrow some comic books from one of the other boys' trunks. But when he got to the common room, it was already occupied. Oops, busted.

Cedric had been engrossed in his book when the sound of the portrait hole opening brought him out of his reading. He didn’t think classes would be over so soon, but he got to his feet and took a deep breath. He’d decided it would be just like first year, introduce yourself and take it from there, and no talking about being dead unless asked first. But it was only one lone Hufflepuff who walked into the common room and stopped short obviously not expecting anyone else to be there.

“Sorry,” Cedric apologized for the surprise. “Are classes out already? I’d have thought there’d be more of you.” As if remembering himself he extended a hand. “I’m Cedric, Cedric Diggory. I'm... new.”
