Summary
[Like any other boy of seventeen, Cedric Diggory has no intention of dying.
There are other reasons why he chooses to do what he does, of course. He’s done his research, tracked the connections, and seen who emerged from the last war (and how, and why). His time in the Hufflepuff seeker’s seat has lent him years of practice concerning the tricky act of winning with nobody else the wiser for it.But- and this was always the most important factor, it must be stressed- Cedric is seventeen, and doesn’t want to die without saying goodbye to his girl. So when he rolls underneath a Killing Curse and is met with a rat’s wand pointed between his eyes, he gasps a breath, squares his shoulders, and pleads, “Let me join you.”]
Harry Potter is dead*. Cedric Diggory is a Death Eater*. There is nothing to fear*.
A story about youth (radicalization), grey (matter), and page-long footnotes on all of the above.
