Who: Zacharias Smith and Cedric Diggory Where: Cedric's cottage When: Wednesday evening What: Checking that he's not a baby! Rating: Language Status: In progress
What the fuck was going on? First there was the sudden influx of children in the village, everyone panicking because they'd discovered that a family member or an ex-professor had been turned into a child or even a baby, if Grindelwald could be believed. That was enough to deal with already. And then apparently Ariana had set fire to his house... He'd only seen the message too late and when he'd gone by to see during his break, and... well.
And through it all, not a peep from Cedric. Not that Zach could see yet, anyway. He kept waiting to see his familiar scrawl and nothing! And not a single person had made any mention of him at all, which begged the question: what had happened to Cedric? Surely he would react to such a situation, want to take a child in, at least want to make sure that everyone was all right. And yet nothing! It was enough to make Zach wonder if perhaps Albus Dumbledore wasn't the only one who had been turned into a baby.
Zach didn't even finish his shift at the Whizzer - no one was coming in anyway, and this was important.
He didn't think of anything else as he ran over. He couldn't.
When Zach arrived, he pounded on the door. "CEDRIC! CEDRIC OPEN UP, PLEASE! PLEASE don't be a child again!"
