Completion: incomplete
Dear Cedric,
I apologize for not replying sooner, I have not been up to having company for some time. However, I do wish to see you and spend some time catching up. You're right about the dragons bit, along with everything else that we faced together. I would appreciate it if you met me on Alpha Road, just tell me when and where to go.
Regards,
Harry
Harry was nervous, far more nervous than he'd expected to be. For a long time he'd felt responsible for Cedric's apparent death. Would Cedric blame him, even though it all worked out in the end? Would they get along at all? Harry had looked up to him when they were at Hogwarts; he was smart, and friendly and well-liked by most. There was also the nerves over meeting other people that were not Ron, Hermione or Order members.
You're a Gryffindor, are you not? What are you so afraid of?
What was he afraid of... yes, that was a good question. Harry gave the note to the owl and sent him on his way. Whatever happened, happened. He'd face it.
