Cedric Diggory imagines

The Yule Ball (part ten)

"It's time to grow up. You have such potential, Y/N, it's sad to see you wasting it." As my father walked over to me, Hermione stepped forward. She stopped a few feet away from him, but quickly backed up, she wanted to stop him but didn't know what to do. "Good girl, stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours." When he got to me I stepped in front of Cedric. Yes, traditionally he protects me from things, but this is the family I chose against the 'family' I was born with.

"I'll admit you get that attitude from my side. Right now the love you think you have for him is strong, but one day it will go away and you'll be sitting there with nothing better to do than listen to the clock ticking away on the wall as you drive yourself mad. People need to be with their own kind, and you just can't seem to get that yet."

"Own kind? Maybe you're right. I do need to be with my own kind." I grabbed my wand out of the side of my dress, I always have it on me. I turned my back to my father and pointed it at the crowd of my friends and family. "You lot are a smiley good for nothing group that suck the fun out of everything. All you care about are yourselves leaving no room for me. Is it because I'm different. You've spent this whole time here at this horrid place wondering if I'm like you. Guess what?" I continued spewing out words of hurt and pain at the group. Then I had to cut myself off. "None of that applies to the people right here. It applies to you and mother, Father."

"What?" My father gasped as I turned on my heel and held my wand to his neck.

"You heard me." I stepped back wars almost walking into Cedric and Harry who were standing together. "I didn't choose to be apart of a racist family and I won't stick by your side either. I choose this family. I built it up from the ground and I won't have it any other way,"

"I warned you Y/N,"

"Well now I'm warning you. Leave and don't come back, or you'll regret it." He let out a laugh. "Don't forget I'm everything you ever wanted me to be. I'm everything you taught me to be. I can do everything you can do and more. There's just one difference. I'm stronger and I'm not afraid to go against blood." My eyes grew dark and I could sense him getting uncomfortable. It took everything I had not to hurt him, even though he was my father and my family I had this burning desire to hit him.

"I created you, in more ways than one, you will always be apart of me. Hurting me means hurting yourself

"I've spent the last few weeks doing so, I don't think this will hurt me that much." I laughed. I could feel the rage pouring into every part of my soul.

"Y/N, stop." Draco begged. I ignored him.

"Admit it. All you wanted was a perfect little princess of a daughter and a subservient wife to complete your fantasy of a dream life. You wanted me to join you and follow in your footsteps. You wanted to marry me off to your best mans son to make things even better." I tried my best not to blow up. "That's not going to happen. You've got ten seconds to leave, before I pop."

He stood his ground. "Psycho vs emotionally unstable teenage girl full of hormones with no sleep. What's the difference between the two." Draco said to himself. It made me laugh a bit in my head. He was right this is foolish.

"Ten." I started counting. No matter how dumb this was I needed to prove a point. "Nine. Eight. Seven."

"You wouldn't dare use that on me. I'm your father."

"And this is the family I chose and love. I am more than willing to hurt you." I started to step forward when Cedric grabbed my arm. I looked back at him and sighed. "Fine, I'll do it from here." I leaned forward and started to let one of the most unforgivable spell roll of my younger like the air I breathe.

I held out my left arm that was holding my wand and  started to speak. "Crucio-" Cedric covered my mouth with his hand. Draco took the wand from me, but my father still fell victim to my words.

I fell weak, limp in the legs. I fell to the floor but Cedric let me down slowly. "We need to get out of here." Someone said but I couldn't tell who.

This is a lot worse than I thought it would be😂😂😂 I'm so sorry
