Cute and amusing, thank you! Do you have the link to the previous story, please?

I seem to remember a Prince Rilian in one of the Narnia stories, but i can't remember anything about it so i don't know whether that was the link you were going for ... i'll come back to see other people's answers!

[timelordsimone]

Right, I shall get on the linkage soon.

Prince Rilian, son of King Caspian X of Narnia, is indeed where I got it from. But that doesn't quite answer the question of why. There's a proper reason and everything. So, you can have 5 points.

Oh yay! Five house points for Hufflepuff! :)
Thank you for adding the link to the previous story.

I *finally* finished reading your previous story, after intending to for months! I really enjoyed it, with all the suspense, and the misunderstandings, and the unexpected twists!

I'm looking forward to this sequel story! Harry and Cedric both seem to have matured since the previous story.

Oh yes, and my favourite element of the previous story was the Get Well Soon card, with the writing that appeared, and the single kiss from Harry. It was so cute how Cedric secretly carried it around everywhere. I'm delighted to see a mirror of that appearing in this story.

Yay, it will be fun to see this story continue!

I can't think of any concrete reason for choosing Rilian, but The Silver Chair was always my favorite in the series, so let's see if I can make something up...ah yes. It's obviously because Prince Rilian is enchanted to believe he is someone else, which represents Cedric's dual identity of popular Hogwarts Champion and shy gay student. No wait! At one point, the children don't actually believe Rilian that he's been put under a spell by the evil queen, which is a clear parallel of Cedric's own parents who don't believe in the return of Voldemort.

Ok, so I have no clue! :)

It'll be fun to write as well, I think.

Yeah... it's a tad simpler than that. Nice try though.

If nobody's got it by the time I've posted Chapter 1, I shall tell you.

[timelordsimone]

Ooh... so close! I do need the specific connection though.

(This is fun. ^^)

Ha, I remember now! Digory is the name of the main character in The Magician's Nephew. I forgot about that. :)

[timelordsimone]

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
And, since Rowling has expressed her fondness of C. S. Lewis, people speculate that Cedric Diggory is in fact named after Digory Kirke.
Hence, I decided his middle name should be taken from the Chronicles of Narnia as well.

10 points to you. :)

[rotaryphones]

Meh. I'll only accept three. Five go to aimee and two to Minisinoo. :)

[timelordsimone]

Fair enough. I'm sure they'll be very pleased.
^^

[ext_58215]

Nah, you should get more than i got. I completely forgot about Digory in the magicians nephew!
Which house are you in?

[rotaryphones]

I proudly accept these points for Ravenclaw.

Yaay, sequel! I love sequels!

I'm totally okay with you stealing the concept of songs from musicals as titles from me. Less okay with something else you stole from me for this chapter. (You won't know what it is for a while, though.)

[timelordsimone]

Well... if I don't know what it is, how could it be stealing?
It's just coincidence.
:S

[beakanoma]

Clearly you can read my thoughts. Duh.

:P
