All it took was a conversation about what course he would be studying in fifth year. Neither Cedric Diggory, nor his death, are mentioned again in any shape or form in the rest of the story. In case you were wondering: this exchange quite literally heals HarryвЂ™s trauma at the events of the Goblet of Fire. вЂњTheory of Quidditch,вЂќ said the Boy Who Lived, his mouth smiling as he forgot the horrific events of his fourth year, вЂњIвЂ™m not sure what IвЂ™m picking as my number two. I believe this sentence is intended as вЂњforeshadowingвЂќ. Hermione, who was elsewhere on the train, hoped to go to Chigwell, the finest wizarding university in the known world. And yes, I did use Central Line stations to help me name things and places. It says a lot about how pushy my mum was that even in the privacy of my own fanfiction, the kids had to go on to post-16 education. Ron hoped to study at TheydonвЂ™s, the civil servantвЂ™s college, to follow his father and brother Percy into the Ministry of Magic. Harry was hoping to study at Snaresbrookes, a specialist sporting university that had produced many of the Quidditch players that had wowed Harry, Ron and Hermione at last years Quidditch World Cup.

Ron and Harry were now in their fifth year in Hogwarts, which meant they had to pick two special subjects alongside their OWLs, which they would sit later in the year, before progressing to their NEWTs, which would allow them to pick a degree subject at one of the wizarding universities. Goodbye RonвЂ™s inexplicable East London accent. вЂњWell, thatвЂ™s good, then, innit?вЂќ the lanky redhead said, adopting a tone of exaggerated cheer to boost his friend, вЂњWhat are you thinking of picking for your special subject?вЂќ But not that bothered about using the word вЂњconcernвЂќ as if it were going out of fashion. Something I find intriguing about my fanfiction: I was worried about overusing the words вЂњHarryвЂќ and вЂњRonвЂќ, clearly. Ron usually leapt to tell his friend that he should refer to VoldemortВ as вЂњYou Know WhoвЂќ, butВ was so concerned about the expression of concern on the bespectacled wizardвЂ™s face that he was more concerned at comforting his friend. Yes, I think itвЂ™s safe to say that I did not know what the word вЂњgrimacedвЂќ meant. вЂњNo sign of Voldemort,вЂќ he grimaced quietly. вЂњKill the spare,вЂќ that awful voice had hissed вЂ“ and with a flash of deadly light, Cedric Diggory had died. вЂњScar hurt a bit,вЂќ Harry grimaced broadly, вЂњBut no sign of-вЂќД¬an you grimace broadly? More importantly, can you grimace and then frown? You know, IвЂ™m not certain I knew what a вЂњgrimaceвЂќ really was when I wrote this.ДЄlthough it had been six weeks since the traumatic events that had seen the Dark Lord Voldemort returned to new and terrifying life, Harry still remembered it as if it were yesterday.

But donвЂ™t worry, in about, mebbe, three lines of dialogue, I will have forgotten to include it. IвЂ™m not sure why Ron has a Cockney accent, in truth. вЂњGood summer, вЂarry?вЂќ asked the ginger-haired wizard who was HarryвЂ™s best friend.
