Anonymous Request: Would you consider writing something about Cedric Diggory protecting his girlfriend during the Battle of Howarts? Lots of angst please; I am ready xoxo

**SO sorry this took me so long! Life just happened and I’m still getting used to writing Cedric so please be patient with me <3 Hope you like it!**

WARNINGS: None. Angsty fluff. 

You whip your head around, frantically looking for your boyfriend, desperately attempting to separate the screams surrounding you enough to be able to tell if one belonged to him. As you look around you, all you can see is fire and debris and so many people fighting it's difficult to tell who is on what side. But then, most everyone on your side are barely teenagers. You shake your head to clear your thoughts and try again to find Cedric in the mess of war. He had graduated Hogwarts just a year before and had immediately joined the Order of the Phoenix. You had wanted to go with him, but the Ministry maintained their policy that attendance at Hogwarts be mandatory. And besides, you couldn't bear to leave the younger students at the mercy of the Carrows. And so you had stayed. And Cedric had been gone fighting Death Eaters, unable to stay in touch.

But he was here now and you needed to find him. Make sure he was safe. You take a deep breath, about to call out for him, when you are knocked to the ground and forcibly rolled behind a pile of rubble. You press your wand against your assaulter's throat and are about to utter a curse when your eyes focus on the face hovering barely a breath above yours. Your mouth gapes open in surprise and relief as Cedric grins at you. 

Cedric: Gonna do me in, love? 

You: You-you're-Cedric-you're here. 

He smiles and presses a quick, chaste, kiss to your lips before standing, pulling you along up with him. 

Cedric: 'Course I am. Can't let anything happen to my best girl, now can I? 

You smile as he expertly blocks a curse sent your direction and then grabs your hand. 

Cedric: Now, let's get you out of here. 

He starts to tug on your hand to get you to follow him but you resist, pulling you two behind a pillar. 

Cedric: Y/N, we have to get you somewhere safe! Now! I need to help fight so let's go! Quickly! 

You: No! I'm not going anywhere, Cedric! 

Cedric: This is no time for being stubborn, Y/N, this is serious. 

You: I'm not going anywhere! 

Cedric: Y/N....

You: No! I can't leave. I won't. And every second you waste trying to make me is time that we could be helping our friends! 

Cedric takes in your stubborn body language and the determined look in your eyes and sighs in defeat. 

Cedric: Fine....lets go. 

He takes your hand again and whisks the two of you back into the fray of the battle. You fight side by side and back to back for what seems like days, though is only a few minutes. Death Eaters seem to multiply around you and the number of bodies falling to the ground is increasing. You're starting to get tired but you keep Cedric in your sights and it gives you strength to keep fighting. As the battle begins to push beyond the courtyard and into the castle, you take a moment to lean against a classroom door to catch your breath.

When you do, however, you hear a small whimper from within the room behind you you. Cautiously, you turn the handle and peer into the dark room. You gasp when your gaze settles on about a dozen pairs of young eyes, wide and staring at you in fear as they huddle together in the corner. You gasp and reach back into the corridor to grab Cedric's arm and pull him into the room with you. You smile slightly as he doesn't hesitate in approaching the group of frightened younger students and kneeling in front of them, explaining who you and he were and assuring them that everything would be ok. He promises them that the two of you would be right outside and that you wouldn't let anyone in the room. They nod and even though they're still obviously scared, they look relieved. Cedric ruffles the hair of one of the youngest ones before standing and taking your hand and peeking out the door. 

As he sticks his head out into the corridor and begins to pull you out along behind him, he suddenly stops and shields you between the wall and his body as a curse bounces off the wall near your heads. He turns to see who your assailant is but is distracted by Harry Potter running past, in the direction that most people are running from. One look at your boyfriend's face and you know what's coming. 

You: No! 

Cedric: I have to! 

You: Ron and Hermoine--

Cedric: Are nowhere to be seen. Look, love, I promise I'm going to keep you safe and we're going to get out of this. But the only way to do that is to end it. And only Harry can do that. So I'm gonna help him. For you. 

You: Then I'm coming too. You can't leave me, not again. 

Cedric: We just promised these children that we'd protect them. You have to stay and do that. They need you. 

You: *tearing up* But I need you....

Cedric: I'll be back, Y/N. 

You: But what if--

You don't get a chance to finish your sentence as Cedric's lips crash against yours in a desperate kiss. You put up no resistance as his tongue slips between your lips and rolls over yours. His hands frame your face, fingers tangling in your hair and pulling you as close as possible. You grip his shirt at his hips and pull them against your own, making him press you up against the wall. The kiss seems to last for eternity as you both pour all of the emotions that are swirling through your heads into it. For you, it's all the months you've missed him and all the love and adoration you posses. It's a plea that he comes back to you. For him, it's a promise that he will. It's devotion and desire and every ounce of love in his being. After your eternity, you break apart and share one worried but confident look before you whisper "Come back to me" and he vanishes around the corner and out of sight. You sigh and go back into the classroom to comfort the kids there. 

Cedric runs in the direction he saw Harry go but after his kiss with you, that is still lingering on his lips, he lost him to the crowd. Before he can try and find Harry, however, a masked Death Eater sends an assault of curses his way, introducing him back into the battle. After several encounters and many curses exchanged back and forth, Cedric decides to give up on his search for Harry and make his way back to be with you. He's knocked to the ground by a spell, though, and his wand is sent flying through the air. As the Death Eater who had cursed him approaches to finish him off, Cedric frantically runs his hands along the ground around him in search of his wand, thoughts of you running through his mind. The Death Eater is right above him now, raising his wand for the final blow, and Cedric lifts his chin to face his fate, thinking only of how he had broken his promise to you. He closes his eyes so the last thing he sees can be your smile....but instead of hearing the dreaded words of the killing curse, uttered by a stranger, he hears a hex being shouted by your more than familiar voice.

He opens his eyes to see you standing over him where the Death Eater had been only moments before, hand outstretched to help him up.

Cedric: I told you to stay with the kids.

You: And I told you to come back to me. You're not keeping your promise very well, why should I? 

He smiles and takes your hand and gets to his feet, finally spotting and picking up his wand on the way. He places a soft, loving, kiss to your forehead and then takes your hand and pulls you along, back to the classroom full of kids.
