~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sitting beside the bed in the private hospital wing provided by Dumbledore, Harry ran his fingers through Cedric's hair. He couldn't believe his lover was gone. Stolen from him by the same evil spell that had taken away his parents at the tender age of one.
He couldn't believe how powerless he had felt and still felt. He felt powerless watching as Cedric was struck down by the green spell and he still felt powerless as he watched Cedric's parents leave the room, too distraught from their loss to stay, sobbing.
Leaning forwards, Harry pressed a kiss to the cold skin and whispered, “I'm sorry Ced. If we hadn't gotten together this wouldn't have happened to you. I'm so sorry.”
Pressing one last kiss to Cedric's slack lips, Harry stood up and fled from the room heading for the Room of Requirement, trying away from all the reporters trying to get a scoop and the students looking to see the dead body of their classmate.
He didn't let himself break down and sob until the room let him in, revealing the little room with a fireplace and loveseat in the middle, to the sanctuary where he had taken Cedric when they needed time alone with each other.

Sorry for the lack of consistant updates the past few days. I've been sick so I haven't really felt like, or even had the energy to get onto the internet and put up the prompts.
